    Nice for the carvers!

    As amazing is that fell is, he destroyed the decking making me think these houses were coming down anyway, also I'm sure there's a Skidder on this tree tucked in the woods.

    Stunt fells must be un assisted, no diggers shoving, no ropes pulling! Stunt fells are trees priced to section out and take a day or 2, customer goes out, you look at the boys and give the nod! I'm doubtful of the use of wedges to be a true Stunt fell, Mike Hill will hopefully be along to verify!

    Pretty much This debates been going on for years in here, myself and Huck are always stubborn about Mewps! I've used 2 over the last 20 years, 1 very early on and the other about 10 years ago to see if it was any better. It's not even in my thought process to use 1, not saying I couldn't do with 1 the way I'm feeling this morning .

    Chris Simpson used to hold his courses in Langbank. Chris at Treevolution is very good, he assessed me there for climbing ticket.

    You can chip and move if you want on a Mog, usually railway work or in a field. Stick it in super crawler and crack on or when manoeuvring I usually drop just drop the revs and leave the pto on., just don't lift the arms to High. The chipper should have the slip clutch on it. When engaging the chipper, just don't dip the clutch in the Mog.
  10. Stephen Blair
    Does it not already have this on the chipper? Do you have any pics?

    Just got the App last night, much better now!

    Sbtv the calculation was for the volume of timber, not including any air space. Some boffin had worked it out, it's on here somewhere on a thread.
  13. Stephen Blair
    I never implied all bags were the same, I've only ever seen 1 size of builders bag though. 0.56m3 is the volume of loose timber in a builders bag that holds 1m3 of say sand. as for buying alcohol. A pints a pints and measures are clearly labelled on the optics.

    Well done! I'd love another 250, made life so much easier!

    Local builder was over 10 ton with rubble and no greedy boards! trust me on the 8 ton Mark
  16. Stephen Blair
    I'm serious, i don't wait for things to come to me, I go and get them
  17. Stephen Blair
    Double cab with tools will tickle 8 ton with no passengers .
  18. Stephen Blair
    Mmm, what about driving about looking for some then asking the land owner if you can have them
  19. Stephen Blair
    Have you done any resent research or just assume this? I felled loads of big Larch a couple of years ago and it went for Boat Skins, premium prices to I heard.
  20. Stephen Blair
    I had only ever heard of it being used for matches!
  21. Stephen Blair
    You could dry a fare few ton of logs under those bridges! A guy used to fix cars under the fly over down from where I used to stay, he could squeeze cars between the barrier and work in the dry. Great shots.
  22. Stephen Blair
    I'd suggest posting a thread titled, Larch wanted, your postcode and a contact number! Always stuff about and lots of knowledge and contacts on here. Good luck
  23. Stephen Blair
    I would consider the weight on the link arms more than just a hitch on the back, that's the easy part. Yes it's fine around a field or wood but I wouldn't on the open road. I can only imagine the forces when breaking on a bend going through the length of the chipper , arms then onto the tractor is huge and not what they are designed for, as in lifting things up and down.
  24. Stephen Blair
    Sean that's a relief you were joking! I hold yourself very highly and I was taken aback with your post! Next time chuck in a smiley face ! could we all now just leave this thread and go and post something that will move the forum forward and not just a bickering war caused by the usual attention seekers who offer nothing to the world of Arb on or off screen.
  25. Stephen Blair
    Tbh I'm more surprised it came from yourself Sean.
