    A week tops. Andy Dunlop is nearer you with a swing shovel with keto 150.

    That's what I mean by nuts - mad rather than the mutts nuts! A whole lot of money for that I would imagine vs the productivity and amount of handling required!

    not at 35-45 DBH; my little H754 with supercut 100 head would deal with those sizes with the occasional double cut. That h480c head in the video is a 680mm opening / 710mm cutting head

    This looks nuts!

    "every bubble's passed its fizzical" CarFinder, Exchange & Mart; Steam Trains, Audi Quattro, Floella Benjamin, Ford Anglia, Morris Marina, everyone had mostly British cars, Top Trumps cards, Milkman in the early hours, Rover SD1 V8, Marathon Bar, Dripping and Lardy Cake, steel frame bikes with sturmey archer gears, bicycle clips, brylcream, cork floor tiles, linoleum, emptying the Parkray ash tray in the morning before stoking, no such thing as UPVC windows and doors, McCulloch chainsaws, velcro, triang train set, airfix, rubber powered aeroplanes, flying a kite, watching a JCB dig up the road for hours, sledging home from school, the dog warden (to be feared), bmx bikes, raleigh chopper, grifter etc, diesel being way cheaper than petrol, esso tokens, dutch elm disease......... even Sunday School. Sure if I sat here long enough a veritable book would ensue. Oh and another thing - you never heard the F word.

    Don't even think about it. Just too risky. Someone somewhere won't keep Mum... and the rest is obvious.

    Sure, Fuji Cherry Reel to Reel was my time too

    I found some old cassette tapes in the loft recently so have been listening to them in the truck cassette player. This song (on one of the tapes) sums up my sorrow: Modern times suck

    delivered in?!

    Winch on forwarder - that's crossed my mind a few times too! Like yourself, the 578 is getting hammered; got a 12t machine on the way.

    rain = biggest stressor there is but true. Precisely.

    I may have some chains for the 578, assuming it gets pensioned off before the winter, as new tho. Got 1 set single and 1 set double diamond.
  17. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Had the tipper version; couldn't fault it. Flippin heavy tho.

    Never slept properly from the day I went s/e; 15 years. It gets better but it's a slow transition from serious insomnia to not caring anymore. Mind never switches off. Still wouldn't want to be working for someone else tho.

    Hate tonnage except where you argue over the air ratio with the agent on stack measure.
  20. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Yeah approx 10m3 a day average with pile of rings and Balfor A11 splitter. Can do a loose m3 every 20 minutes with the Japa processor with clean straight material. Splitter hardly gets used anymore, I keep the ugly lumps for a customer with a monster 35Kw stove and just keep easily processable roundwood. I'm thinking of one these for the old forwarder

    G&A Kindling Got plenty available in 3.1m or 3.7m lengths; distance (140m) will equal £16.75/t haulage. PM for roadside price. All plus VAT.
