  1. agreed. 576 nice in the hands but always in the repair shop...
  2. If I had a 441 I'd be ordering those hard rubbers immediately; 441's I have tried always seemed proper mushy...
  3. 00:50 - music Used to have one of these; never switched it off when waiting upto an hour! [ame] [/ame]
  4. Amen amen. Yet to meet or know of an agent that gets things done any smoother, better or straighter. BIG to agents.
  5. Jack Russel worst I can think of; fountains job years ago, leaped after a stick thrown in the hopper.
  6. I think that confirms you are pro jogging. Picture the scene, jogging in someones garden, what a complete bellend you'd look. Brisk upright walk looks keen and on the ball if that's the perception you're seeking but flippin jogging, that would just look (and is) freakin stupid. :lol: Agree with that one; have to gear-down on many a job now which I find really awkward; feel proper guilty doing a job and knock by 2-3pm
  7. haha, no back to working smart afterwards! The hard labour has been chosen as the task of emptying dozmary pool with a broken limpet shell!
  8. Oh my goodness I said "cord" in the title. No forgiveness. 50 lashes and 3 years of hard labour. Apology letter and compensation in the post to everyone.
  9. Blinkin heck it's quick! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oer_csTivk4]Valtra + Bilke S3 Firewood processor Klapikone Holzspalter zaagkloofmachine - YouTube[/ame]
  10. We were SWAMP LOGGING today! Skidding the poles through pure slime! Look forward to converting that!
  11. Thank you. Emil Lerp was ahead of Andreas Stihl but big bucks in court ruled otherwise I remember the oregon beetle story - brillliant You worked for Sachs Dolmar - I am JEALOUS!
  12. No profit in it for you then. They always want charities to cut wood !
  13. Bugger the secret emails, processor size, ash = £15-25, alder = £14-15 EXTRACTION? THINNING OR CLEARFELL?...
  14. Now read it all. Yes, it is! Why the urgency all the time? Are you thinking that's the only way you'll make a buck?! Absolute crap. You young'uns
  15. I haven't read the whole 14 pages but the running back from the chipper comment says it all; young, want to go like mad, think that constitutes hard work. The most efficient cutters I've ever seen are in their mid 40's, plod along comfortably and can drop, limb and convert sticks faster than a youth can blink an eye. It's only what you call proper graft if it's hectic and poorly planned, rushed and not enjoyed. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
  16. Looks like a 70LC does actually fit the bill... I agree...
  17. Very BAD write up in Forestry Journal... (and rightly so) On Life! +1 NCAP haven't tested it yet but ANCAP have...
  18. I put a thread up a few months back about difficulty getting hardwood (atleast in devon) and plenty on here said no such problem elsewhere; thruth's coming out now! It's rare as...
  19. Second that. Isuzu best option otherwise. Major downside of import LC70 is single cab = no seat recline which tall peeps need. Extra/Super/King/Club cab everytime...
  20. Pre mills, timber was sawn in the woods so there was no roundwood haulage; hence all the hauliers here do "roundwood and sawn timber haulage". Folks I work with in the forestry call it roundwood (including everything - log, chip, firewood, pulp, bars, posts, stakes etc); cord as arby folks call it to us is just "firewood" roundwood...
  21. D'oh! diameters given and obvious from # of tress and tonnage. Thanks. Want 2m lengths (as near as damn it and no more than 2.3). Lorry will want longer but just tell em to go higher! Can send 8 wheeler or artic...
