I agree with dean, i also didnt find his first comment critisising in a bad way, it was clear understandable point.... yeah it was not a normal way to fall the tree, the winch would have been put under tension even though that winch could handle it, i understand why it was incorect. I really didnt think this disscusion would go this far,

Hmm, that book looks great! im sooo gunna get hold of a copy in the not to distand future haha does look old lol, but the 090 we have also been talking about doesnt have a chain break either

pto pumps are great we have one that is probably knocking on 20 - 30 years +, picked it up from a farm sale, still going stong

some oval ones here http://www.buxtonsltd.co.uk/cgi-bin/products.cgi?fa=list&categoryid=66&crid=&lowlimit=0&cmrid=25&cmpid=

bought a 20" bar and chain today, im working tomorow, so i'll see how it goes

christ that is crazy our 090 has only ever had a 48" bar

i have done hedge laying with college, and its a good skill to learn, our tutor said he charges £10 - £15 a metre.

ha thanks for that, i enjoyed reading that post Just thought i would post these few pics of our whole "yard"

ha its nice to own one, we have started restoring it fully, at the moment it doesnt have the origanal engine, thats in the shed, to put it in short years ago the landy was driven through a lot of floods, and its never been the same haha. So we have just got an other engine in now, we will put the orginal back in some day. We still use that for work on occasions, normally when the 110 is at the garage...

o right sweet, well thanks for that, i think its a good saw, glad i got it, paid £490 for it aswell, brand fire new

i'll post our two work land rovers soon (90 and 110), but this is our 1948 Series 1, one of the first ever made i thinks

ha thanks! not unconventional just old

ha cool, havent had much ash in stock, big enough to use the splitter, just use the sawbenchs, but i know what you mean when it doesnt split completely. We have two hydraulic splitters and yeah they are much more effective, but its a handy setup we have with that fordson, one man on the hiab movin logs and cross cutting them, then another on the splitter.

well i think it works well, but it totally depends on what wood you are splitting, we have just split about 8 ton + of poplar and this splits easy, the splitter loves it, but when your trying to split stuff like oak, that isnt that well seasoned, it is a bit of a fight. They really dont like knotty bits either and it kills when the wood flips around and smacks you on the knuckles

ah right okay, mine seems to start okay from cold, a lot better than college's 260's yeah it does

ha okay fair enough

yep that my video to ah right i think i understand what your saying, the lack of ppe? older unsafe cutting techinques?

whys that?

Hello everyone, i just bought a stihl ms361 with an 18" bar , got it very cheap to Just wondering what other people think of it? I like it, it runs well, stihl has never let me down in the past. Thanks

ha thats for the great comment, i am learing a lot from him! and a fair bit bit from college to

Hello everyone, i just thought i would share some information and some pictures about all the equipemnt we use to produce and distribute our firewood. I wouldnt say we have a big setup, we do sell a lot of wood, yes but im not sure but i doubt its anywhere near on the scale of what some people on this forum do. Just to let you know, my granddad runs this "business" and he is retired so this is not somthing that keeps us alive, he purely does it to keep active and to make a bit money in the proccess. We deleiver at least 1 load a day up to 5 on a good day (we consider a load - a 110 land rover full heaped, probably weighin about 3/4 of a ton) Main Chainsaws: Stihl MS 440 Stihl MS 361 Stihl MS 018 Stihl MS 090 Tractors and Equipment: Fordson Major with Winch and Loader [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIViwIUSWiQ&feature=channel_page]Video 1[/ame], [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEFBcf5Bl_w]Video 2[/ame], [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HClLt6V_1wc&feature=channel_page]Video 3[/ame] Fordson Major with Hiab and side mounted Logsplitter (Picture 1, Picture 2) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9tsgLexvSQ&feature=channel_page]Video 1[/ame], [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svZ5e0KyKgk&feature=channel_page]Video 2[/ame]) Leyland 270 with Hydraulic Log Splitter (Picture 1, Picture 2, Picture 3) Ford Ploughmaster and Forwarder Trailer (Picture 1, Picture 2) Small Massey with Saw Bench (Picture 1) Another Massey with Saw Bech (Picture 1) Crane (Picture 1, Picture 2) Will post more info/pictures/video about our firewooding operations. Thanks for taking the time, to read, look and watch! Liam Jordan

Ha no problem, thought i would shed some light on the subject Ha same

Ok hello everybody, first off sorry for the bump of this topic, but i need to say a few things. This is my video, i just recently found that it has been posted on here. So i thought i should clear a few things up ha Nope, he is a retired logger. Once he finished school, he went straight into the trade, doing various things through life. - Comerical tree felling - Tree Realted Estate Work - Sawmill Worker (still doing some now) - Saw Doctor - Cutting and Delievering loads of firewood (does this about 6 days a week now) The saw is not actually ours, it officaly belongs to a local saw mill, my uncle (not that guy) borrowed it off them to use it for a job, that was 7 years ago, it was never returned, they know we have it, but they will probably let us keep it, seen as though health and safety wouldnt allow this to be used by any of their workers. Yes, he doesnt wear ppe, i always moan at him for this. I am 16 studying foresty at college, when im workin with him im always wear correct ppe. He just wears steel toe capped boots and gloves lol, sometimes ear defenders Yeah he has been working from a young lad through to 72 and still working now with no injuries Yep, im the grandson It was a health and saftey hazard, aparently i didnt really want to see it come down, but we just got paid to do it. It was rotten on the one side, due to being struck by lightning and leaning over a lane, so due to health and saftey it had to come down (if it had fallen on a car or someone the farmer would have been liable) Yeah was because of saftey reasons, but some will go for timber, the rest firewood, and yes that is one of the last big trees my grandad will fall so he wanted it filmed. Well thanks for taking a slight interest into my videos. Cheers Liam Jordan
