    What's worth more? The wood or the digger? That's how I would choose!

    You may have hit dirt or metal on the start of the 2nd cut! Then it's all downhill from there! Saw heats up, starts getting blunter and so on. I was cutting up stuff more than twice bar length today, I had to sharpen 3 times in an hour and to get the middle I then had to cut a section out the side and then start cutting again so bar could get further in to catch the centre fibres!

    Dreaded moth if it looks like rice crispy sick! It's a gonner from my experience.

    Either technique or bar needs dressing up or renewed I would say. Start level, go forward and over as far as you can so saw is vertical and work in and back as far as you can until you have to come back to horizontal and then go down level , this way you have cut 3/4 of the wood. Do this all the way along the trunk, roll the log forward until you can see the bottom of your top cut, then put the bar in and work forward.

    A big fracture prune would be best I reckon if you could get away with it.

    I got plastic moulded ones for a truck, didn't think much of them, the mechanism would catch on stuff as they weren't covered inside. And a good kick would wreck them. What about the fabricator in Aberlour, he did done cracking welding for me 1 day.

    Saw them as well, pity the stumps are old and small, I'd like to see it on a fresh 5" beech to see how the design worked on them. Looks well built for sure

    Ive had 2 Yamaha grizzly 450 cc and a Honda 500cc both petrol, towed chippers easily and great for dragging brash to bonfires. The kibuto Rtv is excellent too, runs on diesel, uses hardly any fuel and can carry 2 and loads of kit

    The guy rips out 2 small coppice and he doesn't know what he is doing? Do you know the job spec? Maybe the mulcher is coming in behind him! This isn't judge the operator thread, it's about Arbdiggers! The more tree destroying with the diggers the better!! Start a moan n groan ranty thread where the above will be welcomed with open arms!

    135 I think Jon
