  1. You are dealing with tons of tree with vertical downforce getting thrown around like a toothpick, practice makes perfect and a bar is peanuts in the world of harvesting, better that being the weak link. Once an operator gets to a certain level it will not be a problem
  2. Explain please:)
  3. Scots pine.
  4. Ha ha yes, good ridiculous!
  5. Trees are still being cut, it's a tough job, a job I hope my boys don't want to do! There's easier ways to make more money and if the younger generation know this then good, that's evolution working. I did 5 weeks in the woods 20 years ago and thought stuff that, and went and cut hedges instead in a town with shops and people. Not driving for 2 hrs in the dark on a single track Rd to be stuck working on a steep hillside doing pine trees in the rain for £40 a day! Never regretted it!
  6. Working in aincient Scots pine forest for the next 2 weeks so hopefully get some good pics
  7. Looks like a big Cabstar I think! Doesn't have the Mog coolness Tonkaness I love about the standard shaped cab! Driving it is effortless though, the turning circle is ridiculous! The semi auto gearbox is brilliant! The switch pto and hydraulic controls are smooth!
  8. My wife love that Mog, she thought it was the best out them all!
  9. I just don't want my kids killed.
  10. projection is a common trait in narcissism! I do believe it was yourself that started the ' mine is bigger than yours ' comments!
  11. Something like this.
  12. Right in the house, brilliant!
  13. Beast!
  14. That's cute!
  15. A subby climber? Do you own any equipment?
  16. Yeah yeah, it's rubbish, everything you do is magic, we get it! She's been working well for 2 months now.
  17. Very nice Robert! Look forward to hearing about the hooklift. The 1 had was a Bigab, very well made!
  18. It's a 3.5 ton plant, 5 1/2 ' x 10 '. It's so much sturdier than the older style iforwilliams I had.
  19. The tyres are cracking !!
  20. That trailer is for shifting that digger. No need for anything bigger. It's snug.
  21. Got myself a new trailer
  22. RIP! He will live on in people's memories for sure!
