  1. i'll take some pics tomorow or next day still in use we have: Stihl 070AV Sachs Dolmar 153 Dolmar CC Dolmar Typhoon (i believe is one of the first dolmars ever into the country, i'll ask my granddad for the full story)
  2. haha thats crazy, cant beleive he even tried it
  3. ah right i see, the norwood seems great, time will tell how well it really does work. We do have our own loader, a fordson major with loader and winch, but its not man enough for moving this size stuff
  4. Ah right, yours work well? Yeah man, i thought it was great, well pleased unfortunatly not just borrowed it from the farm that we were cutting the timber for
  5. sweeet, thanks for the info
  6. Got a second hand Norwood Lumbermate 2000 and tried it out for the first time today was amazed with it. this one has been modified so i can cut a maximum of a 20ft log. First time using it and we had a few huge lumps of oak to cut up, granddad sliced it down with the 070 so it would fit on the mill, there seems to be a lot of oak in the pics but we only cut one of the big! butts up, the rest has been bought by a sawmill. Cutting oak gate posts and oak cherry 1 inch boards for the owner, havent stripped the wood as its being moved by the owner soon, was a good day
  7. i've seen videos of that before, its like the Stihl Timbersports, its another comp they have to run up a log thats at an angle (like that) and cut a "cookie" off the end, cant find any videos or pics on the net
  8. well done mate did mine a month ago just before i went to canada, got 50/50 but did shite on the hazard perception, still past though
  9. when you break the log splitter (snapped where the ram joins to the thing that pushes the log through the splitting knife), decide to go and do another job and a hydraulic pipe bursts on the forwarder, grrrr
  10. yeah let me know to please would like to see how much they would be
  11. love doing those cuts
  12. christ i thought we were selling a lot! but we broke the splitter yesturday i had to split a load with the axe today, back to the old days
  13. i wish we could i wouldnt mind having a new dolmar, it wouldnt compare to the old dolmars tho, gotta love them, we've got a dolmar typhoon, dolmar cc and sachs dolmar 153 that are still in regular use, and a shed load of dolmar parts many from the sachs dolmar range
  14. yeah it is kinda sad, him sayin that if he dies doing it he will get what he wants, but he does have some balls for doing it grrrr i bloody hate adverts
  15. stop deer eating the regrowth? they wont bother jumping over it unless threatended
  16. so those airburners arent all what there cracked up to be?
  17. totally agree with that!
  18. at college we did this with a tractor and flail, worked well, the tractor has a loader on so had that close to the ground and moved bits of timber with that before it hit the fail

  23. thats what i thought im waiting for a vid tooo
  24. yeah i saw that, doesnt look too bad seen worse, crane looks to be in good condition, but you wont get much grip with those tyres like the look of this 30ft farm/ forestry timber trailer with hiab crane on eBay (end time 04-Oct-09 09:38:02 BST)
