    Imports, partly. Uk is 3rd biggest importer of timber after Japan and China!!! Chip is cheaper to import from Scandinavia or Canada. Someone's mucking with the trade deals somewhere.

    Fix the existing engine or bin the whole car. I reckon my Garage would do it under £800. Personally I'd let it go. Or drive the forwarder over it...

    Great point but how does it iron out the deliberate leaving at roadside for obvious reasons? I "sold" some DF 12s to one of the "usual suspects" last year; 50 tonnes or so. When the self-bill invoice came it showed SS 10' bars @ £7/t less. When queried I got told " you wanted it moving and we could only move it to such and such a mill as bars". Talk about taking the p155.

    I'd have to spent £6k on the head then tho lol. Diameter sensor on one of the DK has seen better days and could do with a serious refurbish. All credit to TJ Waratah head tho, still accurate, particularly on length but 1of2 dk being slippy means very oval stem will occasionally throw it off. They won't like it, going back to metreage.

    Living like this long term is what makes me stressed out of me box. Some of that stress manifests on this forum sorry.

    Donald Mclean is to FISA what Nigel Farage is to the EU. Absolutely sees right through the corruption and ain't afraid of nobody. Fair play. A winching contractor down here was kept waiting 30 months for £32k... No kidding.

    Here's another thing - loading flats. In Scotland they were charging £6/tonne to load flats with the forwarder. Down here, no such luck, you're just expected to do it; they've got you by the short and curlies, knowing you'll tow the line because you want the wood away.

    That theory has been banging around for a while now and it's wearing thin. Interestingly there is about to be an audit of the forest machines now working in the Uk. Back in 2001 it was 300 odd harvesters... I can't speak for Scotland, but in England, where's the planting??!!

    What a STUPID stupid stupid reply!!! Apart from fecking the thread up, why don't you engage your brain, read my suggestions and use a little improvisation. Moron. COPY - ROTATE - ZOOM. FFS.

    Hoping you can zoom in and read the attached photograph. (or copy and paste, enlarge, rotate as neccessary etc) I for one am happy to get "militant" about it. Sums up my life perfectly.

    Weren't there some GB beauties to fit the 2510/11 from Rob D ?

    Those pacman gobs make me cringe. Edit: those videos are a disgrace. Is this thread a wind-up?!

    Roger. Brash raking is a godforsaken job for sure.
  19. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Do I need a qualification to operate my high pressure hose?!
  20. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Windrow it with the forwarder or are they replanting asap?
  21. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Why's that confusing?

    That's the one I'm referring too. My old Bosses. Richard Court knows it well.

    Agreed. 820 still very good too, I know of one for sale... Most 810's are in Ireland. I've driven an 820 recently and it doesn't out-produce my Bruunett. The 810 is marginally bigger. 840 good machine too, nice size.
