That's the impulse line I reckon...

Oh my poor head

enjoyed watching that; the wee chuckle at the end

I've got an 8002 - pics of it on here somewhere. Doesn't see a lot of use and not run in yet. Out of the box on a 28" it has enough bite in hardwood for sure. When I picked it up from Radmores PDI collection point, the bloke handing it over said, "we'll see you again for any servicing and maintenance you might need." Glancing back at the saw he then said "Actually, no we won't, not with that saw; if it was a Husky that would be so but I reckon we'll never see that saw again". Put it this way, everything is magnesium, you aint gonna break it even if you try. It is built like a boss. Has the extra oiler and it's all torque.

Minimal is too much; shouldn't be any.

It's on the news. All the Hippies and Crusties think they have the moral high ground about everything.

I wasn't. Had seperate everything; paperwork, vehicles, phones, bank accounts, tools, even computers.

It's completely legit; Accountant sorted it all out. Ian - it's the legal way to do it. No deep poo involved.

Same, it did my head in in the end but it covered the transition from dom to com quite well.

Vat kills domestic work. Set up a LTD co for the vat and keep the sole trader non-vat. Put domestic thru the latter and commercial thru the ltd co.

Echo CS2510TES Top Handle Petrol Chainsaw Echo CS360TES Top Handle Chainsaw Very slightly over budget but worth it by every penny... Glowing reviews on here for both of them. My mate's got the 360; can't fault it at all. OR! http://www.sugiharabarsuk.co.uk/product-category/offers/

Echo, echo, echo, echo, echo !!!

If only you'd said this 3 weeks ago...! Denis Cimaf head on an LTC now for at least 6 months... -
Cheers

Thanks Mark. I'm driving the machines etc but even lifting a full kettle makes it twinge a bit now; bit of a worry.

It's S.O.P for a lot of Hot-Shot forwarder drivers. Why they have a creep speed setting. Stroke delimber will bust off rougher branches due to the hydraulic torque vs speed of a roller head. Ages back before I went Purpose-built I was building a 6t excavator as per "light effective harvester" ( google those words under videos) with that Arbro head from FMS. Went to a 7tonner, then an 11 (komatsu), then a 12 (terex) and before you know it a 14t Doosan like Kenny does a lot of conversions on. By that time wilsons had a tidy Doosan with new SP561 head for £90k. Tidy purpose-built's were in reasonably plentiful supply at considerably less so that was that. Spent 18 months figuring out what is the bleedin obvious to any long-in-the-tooth contractor. Bruunett Forwarder? By far the best thing I ever bought, ever, ever, ever.

Just seen that that Bison forwarder doesn't have bogie drive, only tyre lug drive motor - think about tyre wear / brash / mud blah blah blah... I can see why; the centre joint hasn't the space for a prop shaft; how stong will that be? Nice fast crane tho; as did the Kinetic 8x8 have. The Bisons bigger diameter wheels matter - a lot imo.

As per the Front Cover of FJ this month. Gonna PAO the Alstor I reckon

How did I miss this: Brilliant. [ame] [/ame]

Some pics to explain my points: The VERY rough young Spruce; What the desired result should look like; You want the hydraulic horsepower; wouldn't want any less for both felling, feeding and delimbing, prompt reversing upto the stacking hole in the adjacent row and the crane power to manipulate the trees. A swing shovel conversion will have atleast enough guts to run a stroke head (very reliable) or roller head if going beyond 12t, and masses of dipper power, plus you can swing right around. Anti-track derail skis are a sensible addition.
-
Also, page 16 of this months FJ, have you got a copy Big J?
-
That is correct. Early intervention lets the wind into the matrix and the remaining trees develop stronger roots. Slightly soil / site dependant.

I reckon Riko are going to sell a few of them He was being greedy with the grab and still slinging it onto the stack without both legs down. Plus it had tracks on with decent grousers.
