yeah man i saw it, that would of sucked. I love watching ax men there extraction methods are awesome, but not many of them can actually fall timber well? i know he was a "green horn" but the little felling the programe shows, their cuts are never anything to special...
-
i've got some freedoms up for sale, but im not sure of the size... i'll try and work out what they are, after £90 for them, only worn them like 3 times

i had a pair of these about 2 years ago, and i found them to be very poor didnt last very long. Propper chainsaw gloves may be required for cs units, but when working i dont think they are nessisary (unless deemed by the risk assesment) so in my opinion i would get a cheapo pair for the courses, then shop around for some good work gloves that suit you, everyone has differnt preferances. Personally i have been using these GUIDE 525-21 Synthetic - Personal Protection for the past week or so and they seem to be good for the price
-
Down to personal preferance man, i was taught at college with the silly little guides, but free hand is so much easier imo, plus you can just ram the file down the side of a husky fuel can or in your logging belt. mehhh high lifts are too expensive and they dont last too long plastic wedges suck too, get some big old steel ones and you'll be away

its alright man, next time your down give us a message! ah really? aha how did you know it was our place? If you had kept going like half a mile you would have come top our wood yard Ah really? Yeah it was for a mate whos got a posh portaloo company, and he was towing one of the loos when the tow bar on the disco snapped and it went through the hedge, fair size hole it made too! i had to put a 30ft post and rail fence!
-
ben you should of let me know you were in eardisland, would have given you a tour of our yard ahah

bullbars are very helpful for this type of work, same with rear light guards (need to get some for mine) spot lights, front and back are very handy! winch is a good idea, did a job last week with mine, that paid for it twice over, would of needed to move one of the tractors about 20 miles, a lot handier on the landy. My winch is a cheapo one (12v 12000lbs pull) but its still brillent, used it last week for winch a lot of 80ft norways over that were by a garage.

that is bloody horrible, having been around horses my whole life, and still got some now, loving them! that article did bring a tear to my eye...

Well annoyed, me and grandad had a timber grab and rotator nicked between saturday night and this morning, from out yard in Eardisland Herefordshire. It was a rough old grab and a 270 rotator, not a 360, no idea of the make of either of them. This isnt the first time theives have had a bash at it, we have found it off the machine dragged up the yard before... after this happened every night after use the grab would have a bundle of logs in its grasp and put over the back off the timberstack, we bashed the thread in on the bolt holding it on, but they still managed to get it off... It took a lot of effort stealing this, having to drag it all the way up the yard and drag through the hedge by the gate, so we are sure they stole it to sell on... it sucks.

do the four d's (dead, diseased, dying, dangerous) overcome conservation area regulations, or is should the local authority still be notified?
-
hell thats shocking! if some of you are wondering how a genuine 070 performs, heres a video our ours [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYhh_i5wc2o]YouTube - Big Stihl[/ame]
-
never really looked at ours that closely, we have the av version so it is slightly different
-
because its a bloody brillant saw! great for ripping through big hardwoods, these saws have wayyy more torque than the the modern higher revving ones, they are also built a lot stronger than modern saws
-
i have never used one of their harvester heads, but we do have 2 patu cranes and a stroke delimber on the 3 point linkage and for the money their equipment is very good!
-
quick search came up with some specs on these Patu RH Series Harvesting Heads Patu SH Series Harvester Heads
-
some of the older patu (now kelsa) heads would be realtivilt cheaper, think that there are some that weigh around the 500kg mark, which worked well on tractors with roof mounts
-
no, just saying that it is still produced... or still produced in very recent years. the saw pictured does look very similar to ours, the only differance that i can see is the stihl logo on the top cover
-
umm i think your wrong there, still produced in some places - e-Catalogo STIHL (go to page 28-29)
-
as soon as im out of the tree i put a husky ground helmet on, i really cant get on with climbing helments!
-
Good vid for slabbing brackets and mini mill - don't mind the gun!

awesome find man! he goes real in depth when explaining! -
never seen one of those plastic things before, seen the metal ones never used them though, starter cord is the easisest as its always with the saw
