What have people found best for removing dirt, sap and grime on chippers, stump grinders and general machinery. 
 

I know there’s quite a few products for cleaning with a pressure washer. Anyone tried snow foam? 

The other issue I can see is that transporting an alpine tractor with trailer crane looks a bit tight on a flat bed trailer

I use my Logbullet pretty much 5 days a week now. The golden rule for me has been not work on tonnage, and stick to day rate. I could waffle on for days about low impact forestry 😂

 

The main thing has been getting folks to understand the process. Doing first thinnings by hand cutting and small machines is not a money maker. If it breaks even, it’s done well. But….. you’re making something of a waste product traditionally, be it as chip for biomass or firewood. And you’re managing the woods as well and making the future works that much easier and the remaing stock that much better. The landowner makes the money back down the line. If they’re not driven purely by the bottom line, they’ll see the benefits of the low impact approach. 

I guess it’s a hard sell to start with but like you say if they aren’t bothered about making money and take the view that your making the wood better in the long run. I guess private woodland owners are the target market rather than through a land agent as they do want to see a profit.

What’s the viability of using an alpine tractor for extraction work, is there a market for it or is it few and far between. I know a lot of land owners are low impact conscious these days but I can’t help thinking it would be hard to make it pay. 
 

what’s peoples thoughts?

Just out of interest has anyone got any old pictures of them doing tree surgery or forestry say pre 2000 It would be cool to see how far equipment and techniques have come.

Cheers rob

Yeah that would be good, is there anyway for fitting green teeth to these machines?

Are the alpha finger teeth compatible with the rock machinery grinder?

Thanks got it sorted now guys

Looking for somewhere to tip a couple of loads of chip off at the weekend got a job that way

The main thing I stress about is when I book a job in and think, is this going to be doable in a day. Or have I booked too much in for that day. The silly thing is when I book it in I must believe it's doable otherwise I wouldn't book it in. So from that moment until I complete the job which 90% or the time we complete with no problems I worry out it. If we ever did run over I know I could always rearrange things but I think it's the worry of letting people down.

Are you selling this crane?
