    Others have met emission limits without autotune Leaded petrol?! Lol, since when did that come back on the market?! How about following a modern petrol car, with a hydrogen-sulphide belching catalytic converter? How about the toxic exposure when filling up?...

    Business is business. Nothing wrong with making money. It's pricey perhaps but then no-one will buy it; only worth what someone will pay... Set up in competition if you can do better.

    You mean 'Bacter'. Excellent stuff - used loads over the years. Reapplication depends on ground conditions; once a year is the most I've ever done, up to 4 year interval. It is truly the best. Apply between May & Sept but get ready to mow like mad lol!

    aye, 3 or 3.1 seems to be becoming very popular

    Go to Royal Cornwall - it's much better. Much more machinery...

    2-2.3 = two bays on most forwarders or 2.5's bigger forwarder although on small forwarders back bay of 2.3's can be hard to load - keep from falling off the back. 3.1's plus make less work for forwarding but as you say higher proportion of bends. Maybe a mix of both. I much prefer cutting chip to 2.2 or 3.7 but the latter are harder to lift onto a Japa 700 (no fandangled log-deck here!) Then hauliers want to optimise load cubic capacity in relation to weight...

    Think you can only have it in the Wildtrak model but interested in any feedback on the 3.2 litre 5-pot lump? Thanks.

    Good on ya! Merrist Wood trained counts for a LOT! Like everything, you'll find it more bureaucratic than the good old days but reckon on old wisdom out-shining modern bling...

    Arborisk for Arb are probably in the top 2; not so clued up on mechanised.
  14. TimberCutterDartmoor
    NFU don't touch mechanised harvesting so no good for me. Lycetts actually listened to what I needed, ticked all the customer service boxes and are covering six figure capital on forest machines for a good price. Clear-Arborplan had by comparison, laughable customer service and 50% higher premium.
  15. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Absolutely superb service and quote. Get on!

    Unless you've got credible forestry contracting experience, I'd walk away. Enthusiasm won't make profit. Suggest to the owner he gets a well established forestry contractor, not an arb firm.

    A lot more hardwood around this year so prices are going back down to the traditional £40/t roadside. Here anyway.

    These gloves; remove abrasion, keep moisture in but permit dexterity... _ProductSerie

    Best photos I've seen. Thanks

    oooh dunno, but similar problem from the couplings as I mentioned before but now getting worse; been lifting (just) flippin heavy lumps of chestnut so the crane has been at its limit - that stresses those o-rings out so now the trickle down the windows is a constant river! Fed up with it but never got the time to sort it out. Sorry I still haven't sent the book, organised as a box of frogs here!
  21. TimberCutterDartmoor
    +1, same here.

    Some of my Oregon chains had that; it was rock hard and couldn't be filed; the individual tooth had to be ignored when sharpening as it trashed the file...

    They don't give a damn about quality until it doesn't burn and they see the neighbours logs; the neighbour who paid more but lied about the price to pretend they know how to get a bargain. Same as with volume, offer them 1m3 at £75 or 1.5m3 at £100 and they nearly always go for the 1m3 despite it being less value; 3 figures and they leg it.

    Love that story. That cat was having none of it. Grew up with a ginger tom with the same attitude; he was the boss!

    Yve, could you bung me a quotation by pm for one of your 850 grab tanks BGT850 and the BGT850-TC please? Many thanks.
