    One of the all time greats imo. Very sad. I'm off to blow a phantom raspberry.

    FISA best get some regs out quick!!!

    As above, get the 501sx rather than the ol CS550; the latter is a bit of non-saw imo; a down cc'd 620 so a bit dull for the weight and dimensions.

    I'm about to trial some .404 on the harvester. If it performs as bad as it looks... If it breaks and puts chain-shot in the margard window I'll be savage... They reckon it will be miles cheaper; hmmm...

    Yeah, cylinder compression is between the piston rings and combustion chamber, via the spark plug hole. There will be differences between hot and cold compression but not as marked a difference as with a 4 stroke engine. Should be hot to test against specs.
  6. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Compression test doesn't need any of this... Leakdown test might but I don't know about all that... Crankcase air leaks etc
  7. TimberCutterDartmoor
    Same question...?

    More bang for yer buck; Falcon is sensible price; Vimeks are daft money...

    Bloke I know has a Terex (Shaef / Atlas) Rubber Duck. Sweet Deutz motor, very reliable, goes everywhere on double wheels and can obviously nip about the lanes. I looked at a 12 tonne Terex zero for a harvester as it had the best flow to run the head and except the long track base, was barely inches bigger than an 8 tonner. Basic cab tho. Volvo, Case all gone small displacement, Kubota ok, Komatsu nice. Would have gone with the Terex if I'd not gone purpose built. Will still get one some day, put a small head on it, get into poxy jobs.

    I'm watching the interview with Piers Morgan on the Telly now; fair play to the bloke, says it straight.

    Winch Tractor with Operator required now. No dreamers please. Will need to have decent setup and plenty of experience. Very steep, windblow site. Initially approx 4 weeks work and plenty more where that came from. Winching to Harvester. Would suit good heavy tractor and double drum winch but not essential. Devon / Cornwall.

    Just the unit without the drag? 2 bays of 10s possible. Should weigh a bit less than an 8w...

    That must be roadside. No, £40 cube is good for processor beech... 40m3 will be 38.8t... Based on the above... Now going into no signal for the rest of the day...
  17. TimberCutterDartmoor
    In general 0.55 for hardwood, 0.7 for softwood. Nice plantation beech would be more like 0.65 tho...

    Blue book:
  19. TimberCutterDartmoor
    De ja vu. Green softwoods are the wrong way round. Larch is circa 0.85t per m3 FF. 0.97t for beech sounds about right.

    Lol; footspas and air rifles too :thumbup:

    Me, yesterday. What have I done?! Eel of a funny I sink.
  23. TimberCutterDartmoor
    My answer was I'm sure not definitive, just part of the melting pot. Start by the stack, just moving the crane, then some logs from bunk to stack and back again. Get to know the machine before you put it in the cover and have to quickly pick through the different products... Took me 2 years to get half decent and that's not even on mini levers.

    If Barony College survives (the traumatic potential relocation), then there is a Forest machine college in the Scottish borders. Now is a bad time (industry wise) to be trying to find someone looking to take on a trainee forwarder driver; hopefully global economic factors will swing into favour soon.

    Good coin that, fair one
