    Feel bad! You shouldn't! You did the right thing, keeping your cool too. Never let them near the yard I reckon; last thing you want, customers or unsavouries knowing where your stock and kit is...
  2. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Thank you. Someone else who speaks sense.

    As effective as wind and mist?!! Suggest you write to FC, Tilhill, Euroforest et al then with your theory / discovery :thumbdown: Honestly, don't make comments like that until you know what you're talking about! Millions of tonnes of infected larch have been hauled around the country since it kicked off in 2006/7.

    Wish you'd asked that a few months ago! Had 2 loads of 3.7 clean larch that I let go for a song as it wasn't mill grade (or risk of rejection grade anyway). Reckon haulage from tamar area would have been £500 for an artic... Ooh, thinking about it I have 200 tonne of larch on the radar - not seen what size it is yet but will keep in mind... You did mean larch? Got a bit of DF that's oversize for processor... Very likely to have an 8 wheeler of that by the end of this week altho there are others interested - bidding war!
  6. TimberCutterDartmoor
    agreed, gotta go 3/8 on a 560/562

    tbh don't think we're going to be cutting bars as can now get £25/metre for chip; 3.1m bar 14cm+ tdub (max 40cm butt) JL (PR) £24.00 per tonne thanks, Jon.

    "looking to ditch hardwood"; same here - softwood is the way We're £28/m3 roadside for semi-seasoned processor size; £25-26 if it's a bit uglier; xport varies on distance in 10 mile increments but £35 sounds v reasonable yo Larch is the favourite by far followed by DF (df nicer to process but larch seems to get snapped up)
  9. TimberCutterDartmoor
    I have 3-4000 ton of PR Larch coming up; haulage per artic load to glos will be about £400 (32m3 / 26t)...

    Thread title says 461, text in op says 441 Go 461 for a 20" with 25" option - perfect.
  11. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Out of interest (and ignorance), why not softwood?

    :thumbup: Brilliant

    Try to avoid that option; you end up in bed for weeks keep doing it; the aim is to eliminate hand contact with the wood at any time. Seriously tho, the body doesn't like twisting and bending 45,000 times a winter

    Are they the only good brands then?

    Got a TP 760 if you're interested; not that pretty and needs a chute - pm for more info.
  18. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Thanks for this but 95VPX is semi-chisel and I can't stand the stuff; have only ever run full chisel and find semi a pita to sharpen (just used to full I guess). Upping to 3/8 I think and go 72LPX

    Makita Reps I have a Dolmar PS-5105 and the exact Makita equivilent (DCS5030) and I can tell you they ARE NOT the same!!! On the "lovely little dolmar" thread I have mentioned these too, namely 1)different carburetor, 2)different air cleaner, 3)different muffler, 4)different recoil 5)different b&c combo new And it's #1 that is radically different; the dolly has the "red-power" carb and the Mak a n other. The dolly outcuts the Mak surprise surprise...
  20. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Yeah, was discussing that one earlier. Apparently a escort van front coil spring is the perfect fit between the rear axle bump stop and, er well the flat piece of steel... Hmmm, how does that fix?
  21. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Clarkes do those half track half chain things - might they fit?

    09 reg club cab with chip-box conversion; barely heavier than original butt but sags with half a load (3.6m3 box so 1.8m3 ish) chip and want to sort out; bump stops about an inch off the chassis. Mate suggested assistor springs as HD leaf springs are £1k job.. Any advice / suggestions? Many thanks.
  24. TimberCutterDartmoor
    I've been runinng 20 LPX on my dolmar 5105 since new; are you saying that whilst the bar groove gauge is narrow the cutting kerf isn't? Interesting because I'm thinking of converting it to 3/8.

    eurof spec is 18 minimum top u/b for a 3.7 sawlog; used to be 1" deviation per metre but not so sure about that anymore and ample knots are a no. Had a heap of logs last year; firewooded the lot in the end as they were borderline rough and mill rejection was not an option! 3.7m log 18cm+ tdub 4.9m log 18cm+ tdub 4.9m log 30cm+ tdub 7.4m log 30cm+ tdub
