  1. bent not broke, surprised my self by recovering situation with little press, needed support blocks! to stop things bending that should not be, now as straight as a straight...ish thing ( a bit weaker possibly)
  2. highland tractor, moo
  3. tree growing on tree and feet!
  4. holiday mog, not mine
  5. Mike it is a tidy looking tractor, my thoughts are, I guess it has 100 hp, that it may be a little under powered, we run a number of 12'' chippers on 200 hp, with all grab feeding you are tempted to over feed, this taken into account, we can still get ours into the stress control stopped zone, try to get a demo if possible and try it, good luck
  6. more new to me things, how about the fold away 1/2 steering wheel, the extendable bunk on smaller forwarding trailer, children catered for and more
  7. more, how about a meri tractor to go with your meri crusher? dampish conditions on the forwarder competition trail, new and old school harvesting
  8. few things not seen before, jcb hydradig with a quick fit linkage similar to 3 point link and tilt rotate system, now if they did that in a bigger machine.... my pocket may be lighter, steering rear axel on forwarding trailer from Igland, a bit difficult to tell this time round but it seemed as if there was slightly less action but I may have been in the wrong place at the time, good to see old familiar and also new people at the show, it can be a small world forestry at times, my best regards to you all
  9. what did you think then? link here to what the organisers thought https://www.elmia.se/en/wood/For-press/News-from-Elmia-Wood-rss/World-premieres-met-a-large-audience-in-the-forest/?utm_campaign=Wood_bes_eng_170610_lor&utm_content=-&utm_medium=email&utm_source=apsis and no prizes for guessing what the weather was like !!
  10. you do need to balance front mount chippers either with counter weight or something such as a crane
  11. machines are built individually in bare steel no pipe work electrics etc. dismantled sent to paint and are then assembled depending on size by 1 or 2 operatives, I always like the look of clean steel being fabricated there's something about it
  12. above was with telehandler as I no find other independent pics, but it will lift enormous amount! slam with big logs can be a problem care needed (always remember to raise back stops as big log will roll off the other side!), , also do not lower lift arms until alternative securing of log is sorted, big logs have potential big hazard, imagine one the above size ''falling off''
  13. Nick hello although our arms were bent when we got our mill we have never managed to re bend them! we have loaded 30'' + dia 6m long trunks onto the mill
  14. you'd think I would be able to spell Heizohack correctly by now!
  15. the chance to attend the above at the invite of Alex Price Home to include visits to 2 production areas, one in their words ''the acquisition of the former Hahnenkamm barracks in 2005, HEIZOMAT has over an area of 370 hectares unlimited possibilities for future development'' this site a former tank manufacturing facility! more info here Heizomat Woodchip Boilers | Biomass Boilers | PTO Wood Chippers and also more info and pictures here suffice to say a lot to see and an interesting and informative weekend. Thank you
  16. out again 'in the wood milling' converting Oak for a timber framed building, the curved sections are for wind braces. hard work everything moved by hand!
  17. had this 08.30 today or similar
  18. a while ago (30 years!) we bought a shredder from Michael Dalrymple Arbor Eater I cant remember the name spec, be it arbor eater Pezzolatos etc. but clever design self cleaning rotor and discharge, no blocking when wet, conveyor if you wanted to load into tow vehicle, brilliant exactly what you wanted for typical sweep up off the ground hedge clipping etc. dirty contaminated with small stones no problems, flails were a sort of cut rectangular piece of metal and never wore out, exactly the right machine for ''a mountain of shitty hedge cuttings'' if there is a modern version of this it will work
  19. have seen this damage done by dogs in the past, post from history here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/18307-dog-damage-trees.html
  20. one produced by low sun yesterday p.m.
  21. Castrol Syntrans is the one we use in our 1650 expensive but one of the only oil changes we have made and you could feel the difference!
  22. off the bench now! Steve once again a big thank you for fixing saws and more cheers
  23. Steve at helmdon sawmill was setting up to kiln, may be worth a call
  24. I try again here Salcey Arborcare and Forestry Ltd - Standards
  25. some info here and also a list of useful contacts involved in the working group http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/cranes-mewps/106762-crane-tuition-wanted-2.html
