    Just a few; but then I sell to EuroF anyway! Small world south devon! I sell hardwood when I've got it but only hardwood I've got atm is in a field where only a tractor forwarder can get (no lorry access) so price aint worth selling...
  3. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Do you mean £70k used machine followed by breakdowns?
  4. TimberCutterDartmoor
    beech will be nice stuff then. Is it from euroF?
  5. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Is it processor or oversize? For £3 extra, ignore the oak.
  6. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Holy crap, that's slow.

    Second hand purpose built or excavator base; got to be more usable and better value. Love Hypros but not suited for UK conditions imo. Don't stack very tidy either droppin it from that height. Happy Forwarder Driver Hmmm. You must be a good driver Mature felling tho; seriously, regen harvesting needs an appropriate harvester, not a mini digger. This is a nice example of a 14 ton zero in good material; this size timber is not mature tho! [ame] [/ame]

    Spruce and larch will be alright; pine will be hard of the head; birch nice, no exp with sycamore but plantation grown must be ok as beech is do-able if nice and straight.

    Yep, 6 tonne not really weighty enough; as per above vid of Doosan; you can see it lift about on very small wood. 8 Tonne minimum imo. Best standard hydraulic flow is from Terex TC125; cracking long tracked 12 tonner in a compact package. Komatsu also do an 11 tonner but not as gutsy as the Terex.

    Nisula then; kesla aint that well regarded in roller heads. Had prices some time ago; competitive I thought. 400/425H or 500; acprice are the agents I think. What you cutting?
  11. TimberCutterDartmoor
    New or used head?
  12. TimberCutterDartmoor
    242xp and an Echo CS-510, regret the latter the most.

    Those 8080's were hated in the construction industry; the later 8085 was much better. Can the OP clarify whether he's thinking stroke or roller head? Stroke needs less oil and is better in rough timber but is slower and not much cheaper.

    Spent 18 months "assembling" such a machine (8 tonner) and had to abandon; wish we hadn't as the concept has many merits. You're talking tiny stems and nowt but first thinnings. This vid is as good as it gets, especially on a 7 tonner with a roller head. [ame] [/ame] Hydraulic excavators really struggle with the hydraulic flow; by the time you've sorted a seperate power pack, the cost benefit analysis doesn't add up. Dinoma and Nisula operate heads that are very acceptable; again cost ends up meaning you might as well get a tidy used purpose built machine. [ame] [/ame] The reality is you never get jobs with 99% small stems and you end up on a saw. Typical UK hairy trees make it less preferable again. Speak to Kenny Dobson at FMS for an update on the dinoma; last I heard it was back to the drawing board for modifications to deal with spruce and pine; fine in DF and hemlock.

    And here.

    Sod that. I cancelled 3 deliveries today as the tractor is awol from the processor and had to cut and split with chainsaw and splitter, hell it was slow and tedious. Simply couldn't be bothered, was cold and wet, got WD I think lol.
  17. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Sorry to say (positive as ever lol), but the last Confor S/W Woodland Show was utter pants. The £5 pizza was the best part. I can't see the point in going to see the same machines you've already seen 199 times around your local area. Or are you going to the seminars? Can't comment on those.
  18. TimberCutterDartmoor
    lol haha
  19. TimberCutterDartmoor
    MS461 or Dol 7901 (from Shavey Ltd on here) nice for legging out...
  20. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Flippin heck, I'd forgotten! You've got my old one?!
  21. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Bright and techy; never seen a woodman in boots like that
  22. TimberCutterDartmoor
    How cool is that; but no crane no good..
  23. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Perfect for FISA types
  24. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Sums it up very neatly.
  25. TimberCutterDartmoor
    This is making me miss my old M500 now; still I have absolutely no use for a chipper anymore.
