  1. Dunno about the better cuts and sharper chains; speed is the highest priority for me now, getting sticks to the harvester; can get sloppy if not careful. File stays in the truck; it's an incentive not to put the saw in the dirt - punishment being a long walk back to the truck! By the end of a day it's dulled off a bit but during the said "walk" I could get another 40 sticks down so I carry on lol. Arb vs hand cutting; definately arb altho brash ratting and feeding a chipper while keeping the trucks locked in an urban setting zzzzz yawn Arb vs mechanised harvesting; deffo the latter. That's just me tho. Arb definately earns more money.
  2. Quite. The "hinge" in the photo is 100% perfect in the circumstances in that it gets it in the right place using the weight along the slope to start falling and then severing as neccessary to steer the tree right around.
  3. Lets just say, there are a few thousand more like it... all leaning up to the north and along the slope to the east; tips need to go south-east to the track... and they are all bang on target...
  4. Right then, rate this! 24 carat cock up or not?
  5. Modded stroke head. You are right, saw bar far too slow; should be much faster.
  6. No way! We were going to be the first UK agents for DC, not going for it will be one of the biggest mistakes we ever made I bet. We ordered 3 of their heads 2 years ago, and you remember the power pack issues we had - DC were doing those nice cummins packs too; the case 8 tonner in france etc etc.
  7. FAE probably from McArthur but not that clued up on tractor mulchers. If it was for an excavator and it was clean material it would be a Denis Cimaf full stop.
  8. Yep, always the Wives that want them; somehow fall for the BS. All this harping on about the filtration; then you empty the can and all the filth and dust goes everywhere. How do people fall for this crap?!
  9. Tore the forwarder door off. Damn.
  10. Atleast one of those is well and truly cooked; beware the 5 gallon makeovers.
  11. Christmas - worst day of the year for me, every year, absolutely detest it. Long story as to why but for many it picks a wound that would otherwise heal.
  12. +1. Crying out for cold weather.
  13. OP 242xp - proper saw.
  14. DF & Larch my favourites. DF is a dream to dry and process. GF if you can get it is superb too. Very true.
  15. I'm not tough enough Jon; would have smashed my head in [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iKGfo1wmOM]SMART car crash (TEST) - YouTube[/ame]
  16. Wouldn't want to be in a crash in one mate nor can they carry much. Diesel estate does the job.
  17. Chickenheads.
  18. I've a 2011 version of the same machine and there's no doubt it aint built like the 2300 outhouse; it's waiting for the old'un to break which maybe it never will!
  19. I don't get this. My HC-2300 has been well used every year since new in 1999
  20. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1jPUB7gRyg]Aqua - Doctor Jones - YouTube[/ame] hahahahahahahaha :lol::lol: wat the heck
  21. A little yes but they're better Dolmar 420 will be the biggest bargain by far; at a guess
  22. Echo CS420ES Petrol Chainsaw or Echo CS450 Petrol Chainsaw or DOLMAR - PS-420 SC
