yeah that would have been good if we did that, but the customer was keeping all the cord wood, plus it wasnt the straightest anyway and would have been a pain to mill stuff that size and shape
-
ooo thats pretty sweet! Our neighbors let us borrow kit to They are concreting contractors and have loads of dumpers, loaders, mini diggers and bigger excavators and 2 big tractors that we have borrowed in the past, its good to have nice neighbors
-
at least your in a tidy tractor, is it yours? we have to work in the conditions with vintage kit
-
Ah right niceee! I wouldnt have a clue what austin it is, i'll ask my granddad tomorow and let you know We have been thinking about in the not too distant future getting a bedford tm or similar and mounting the whole crane and winch unit on that, soo many times have been been somewhere and this would be a handy unit to have, as you can see this one doesnt travel much out of our yard lol Ooo thats a nicee deere! Having fun in the mud? When we were milling this we used the crane to move the logs down through our muddy yard to the mill, then loaded them onto the mill with the fordson major
-
That mills working great! We also have extensions for it so it can cut up to 20ft, and is towable It isnt actually a matador, its an austin with a different engine in it, runs well thoo and it was larch

A great job we have been doing recently! Had to remove a big Leylandii hedge, and then put up a panel board fence in its place Stems were straight felled or winched over, we had a MF35 with Fransgaurd winch in the garden, which winched the trees up to a Green Mech Chipper, chips blown into a agricultural trailer. You may think it made a hell of a mess of the garden, yeah it made a bit of a mess but the customers were happy After all this was cleaned up, we decided to mill the 4x4 posts and some of the boards, seen as though we had some large logs kicking about in the yard which would only have gone to firewood or just left to rott lol, they were then tanalised, still waiting for some of the boards so fence is not complete yet lol but you can see the on going process The last few pics are the milling, showing the crane moving some large logs down to the mill

Just saw this on ebay, looks like a sweet rig!!! JCB Fastrac forestry timber logging tractor. Log grab. on eBay (end time 20-Dec-09 20:00:16 GMT)

Yeah its pretty ace Nah I wish it was on the 3 point linkage but its welded straight onto the tractor hahaa, we bought it with the hiab on, it was owned by a guy who did a lot of landrover repairs and he used it to lift engines out and stuff like that, we just piped the grab and rotator and then fitted the hycrack Works well though imo
-
Thanks guys! I do love our old kit they work really well on stuff that ent knotty, would run well on a 35! you crane fed one? how well did that work? did you have a larger "table" fabricated, because ours has been made bigger than standard Yeah it doesnt half hurt when a small bits smacks you on the knuckles
-

Just thought i would post some pics of our fordson major with hycrack and a hiab, actually works really well! Great for picking wood off the pile, cutting it and then splitting it without to much man handeling

Christmas Charity Raffle 2009
liamjordan replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Arbtalk Christmas Raffle 2009
Done it -
seen as thoo that winch and crane is in really good working condition might as well use that we have done a lot of jobs where it would be handy to have this machine on site, but as you can see its not really somthing that wants to move tooo far from our yard, so we're just gunna mount that on a slightly more modern truck that we could get pretty cheap
-
theres a pic of a guy doing it in the stihl catalogue must be okay then
-
very nice set up! i hope to have somthing like this one day but in the not tooooooooo distant future we are planning on getting a bedford tm or similar and mounting the winch and crane unit of this on it http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t149/flaming-ace/tracrtors%20and%20shit/PICT0124.jpg also been thinking of putting a detachable crane and grab on the rear, but ideas are still in the air lol

-

-

-
the new ones are to, its bloody stupid dolmar still make there saws in a lot of countries like the USA (Chain saws gasoline) but then over here and a few other countries they are makita saws which are the same just blue haha
-
yeah they only do it when its cold tho, and yeah i know what ya mean i do have a ms361 and ms230 which are nice on the body, but a lot of the time the bigger saws are needed
-
doesnt sounds good if he just happened to notice it. im 17 and been using chainsaws for about a year now, and now and again my fingers start to hurt, mainly in the cold after a day using the big old dolmars and stihl 070 what gloves would people recomend? i currently just use standard stihl chainasw gloves what are the best to reduce ant-vibration?
