Thanks. Does that mean I turn it clockwise to open?

Please can any body tell me which way the nut turns to take off the Clutch / Sprocket. Thanks.

30 tonne excavator with tree shears?

I'm sure I'll kick myself. Any ideas?
Arborjesus replied to Arborjesus's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Thanks for the help. I think Nothafagus obliqua fits. I took a bud sample and it fits with Collins Tree Guide. It's the only one I can find with anything like that Bark and bud configuration. -
The lower stem has bark platelets which has thrown me a bit.... Any help appreciated.

Sharpenning Greenteeth with anglegrinder
Arborjesus replied to Arborjesus's topic in Maintenance help
Ahh. Thanks for that, I get it now. I didn't realise the grinding disk would be narrower than the tooth. Would it really matter if it was flat? Has anyone actually sharpenned them with an anglegrinder? -

How does a flat bench grinder produce a dish? -
Sharpenning Greenteeth with anglegrinder
Arborjesus replied to Arborjesus's topic in Maintenance help
I saw that. I looked at their sharpenning set up using a bench grinder and a bench drill, but I don't see how that set up would retain the dish shape on the bottom of the tooth either. Doesn't look like there's all that much tungsten on them for sharpenning, saying that I can't quite see where the steel starts. -
Hi, Is there any reason why you can't sharpen greenteeth with a diamond disk on an angle grinder? Thanks.

I live in the South West of Ireland and the trailer lives in the North East of England. Long way to go. The info must be out there somewhere....

I've tried getting a response from Wilson's, but not getting anywhere. Any ideas who else might know? Thanks.

The Guy selling it said it's equivalent to a modern 550lt. I have my doubts.

Hi, I'm looking at buying a forwarding trailer with a Botex 3500 Crane on it. A mate of mine is looking for a crane that will pick up 2 tonne @ 2m. I just want the trailer. I'm trying to work out if the crane will do him. It's from the 1980's. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Ta, Rob.

I had a PTO XP150 for a few years. It chipped better than any other chipper I've used since and it never went wrong. Chip quality left a little to be desired though. The assist ram on the top roller is very handy.

Fair play, I'm out of date. On re-reading it has been changed. Forestry used to have a far greater radius. I'll check before posting in future. The distinction between Felling for forestry and felling within arboriculture isn't clear. I know I do both activities. I use timber from both activities for both saw log and firewood. The only difference is that for domestic / farm jobs I normally chip branches. Then again I have mulched Ha of land after felling. It's very hard to make a distinction. If we used your definition then felling almost any broad leaf would be pruning (and including the many conifers that produce shoots) and the trees that don't produce shoots would be an act of forestry? Anyhow, if there's no distinction in the eyes of HMCE then I guess there's no point in making it. Thanks for pulling me up, I wouldn't want to be spreading misinformation unchecked.

Felling Trees is Forestry, Pruning trees is horticulture / arboriculture (Or was According to CIS). There is definitely a distinction made between agriculture and forestry. 1.5km doesn't apply to Forestry. As you rightly point out I don't live in the UK, so I doesn't effect me. I have ran a mog in the uk for a good few years though. Still at the moment I can run my mog on Green without any limits. Not sure how long that's going to last.

Section 1 was revised in 2008. You can't carry a load on the vehicle for arboricultural operations, but you can carry tools. You can still chip into a trailer. A vehicle registered as an agricultural machine can be used for forestry operations without the 1.5km limit. It can also carry a load. There is a difference between a draw bar putting a load down from a trailer and a load on a vehicle.
-
The law says you can run on red if the chip is in a trailer not in a chip box. That applies to all vehicles registered as tractors. However, crop sprayers are allowed to carry goods and run on red, because they're registered as agricultural machines, not tractors. There's nothing stopping you from registering a mog as an agricultural machine.

Anyone have any info for flail attachment mini digger
Arborjesus replied to robert t's topic in Large equipment
I hired a Komatsu 3.5 tonne machine with a Berti Flail on it. Wasn't a bad yoke. I'd certainly hire it again. Lamberhust Engineering sell Berti Flails. Not sure if you can get it to work with a machine smaller than 3 tonne. I was weeding forestry with it, so a smaller machine would have been well handy (I couldn't get down some of the rows cause the plonker that dug the drains must have been pissed). I couldn't find one. Good Luck. -
Try Atkinson Vos. I think they do a Timber Dragon which tips.

Hi. I'm looking for a bigish driven forestry trailer with no crane if anyone has or knows of one for sale. Ta.
