Good tip, never thought of using a beam with the grab for wide leveling. Cheers. Second thoughts, the beam wouldnt work with the swinging grab, probably more of dragging movement rather than precise leveling.

geoff, Do you have any picts of it and cost? I seen one on line that seemed to be fitted on to a ditching bucket, probably home made, but it wasnt a clear photo to get any detail from it. Yeah quick hitch is good. if only it was hydraulic.

Any body use them or maybe have one they want to sell. Im looking for it to fit a volvo EC27 quick hitch. Its not some thing I will use often, so dont want to spend top dollar on new one if I can avoid it. Done the usual google searches but cant seem to find want I want. Any body any info, would appreciate it. Cheers, robert.

Ouch, Did you not feel yourself burning?

Removed this windblown Fir a while back. The hole was there, so why not use it. Trimmed a few roots back, one cut and it fell in nicely, turned the root plate in the hole, back filled and job done.

Ha Ha, no smart work today. Dragging and humping all day.

Quote Yeah those big 360 diggers can rip any stumps out but it's what can you do with a big stump tip fees are threw the roof some site clearances ive been on worked cheaper for me to grind them than dig them out and cart them away in a 8wheeler I was told, second hand mind you, that some of these bio mass plants are now taking and paying for stumps?

Cheers, Ye great to get the grinders on the same trailer, it give us the back of the tipper for crap. We normally also take the digger with other tipper and trailer for bigger jobs:001_tt2: It makes it go so quicker and a lot easier on the old bones with the tidying up:lol:

Probably 3hrs We were also doing tree works, so I was kinda jumping back and forth with the grinding.

Old stump and root plate been down about 3 years. Access very tight and thought I would have to use the pedestrian, but managed to get larger grinder on to it. It would have been hard going with the pedestrian. Root was on a bit of a slope and ground was fairly uneaven, but got there in the end. Hoping to get back with digger to re level and finish the area. All depending if client can get access through adjacent woodland for machine.

True. The fist dozen or so of these types of calls did got the nice professional and polite reply. But to be honest it kinda brakes you down and after that the rest of them do get to hear a bit of my sarcastic and cheek side.http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiliesmodern/001_tongue.gif

I kind of mucked the above quote thin up. I tried to put my reply into different parts of the quote, but it didnt work. hope you get the just of what i tried to do.

True, but are they kind of customers your really want.

Ah dont you just love them. Some people think that their wood is the new gold. The crazy thing is some body will probable do it for the wood.

ah the 254, remember them well. Great snedding saw. Wallis do you ever go by the log play area in Aberfoyle? I took some good photos of the logs going in but it would be good to get one of the finished project. Cheers, robert

Bought this 3120xp back in early 1990 as one of a few saws to start my one man business. Apart from replacing spark plug and sprocket rims, bar and chain its all original. Always ran with Husky 42" bar but recently changed to the one in the photo, to be honest I prefer the new bar as it is better balanced, slightly lighter and cuts a bit quicker. Dont use this every day but over the years its been worked hard doing single milling, part of double jig saw milling and all the large felling. Its never refused to start and always gets the job done. Hope ive not cursed it now buy bumming it up:biggrin: Cheers robert.

As said I would try NFU. They were the only reasonable priced one I could get to add my 18year old son onto a transit tipper. That was 4years ago mind you.

Cant really comment on forestry side but for arb and heavy lifting cant fault it.

Had the new digger out recently to do a bit of chipping and tidying up on a wet steep site that the tractor and chipper could not get on. Wasnt my job, just did the tidy up after local community workers. Also extracted some timber for them with small timber bogie and digger but forgot to take photos.

Matty, I used a few local, to me glass suppliers. None of them any special just run of the mill glaziers or glass suppliers. I cut a template and take it to them and they cut it to the size and shape, then they send it for toughing. I normally dont work to tight sizes so if the table top or inlaid piece is slightly over it dosnt matter.

Cheers, I got the sticky back pads things from BQ. They are clear so they dont really stand out too much on the table. I think they are for sticking onto the older style kitchen unit doors to stop them banging shut.

I like the look with a mixture of wood, glass and metal. Done a fair bit with single slab table tops with natural defects which I put a piece of decorative glass engraved with a leaf onto the glass over it. Always got a buzz when milling and came across a slab with a natural hole.I knew I would be able to charge more for the table.

Thought I would bump this again. It is a pity that this business is sitting idle when it has the potential of a good money maker. This business has been on the back burner for 6 years waiting for a kick start, which could be achieved very quickly. I done this on a smallish scale for about 7 years along side arb work and made good money, my intention was to move to larger premises I had bought and expand this side. After moving to new premises I had to build a house and didnt have the time to commit to it. Also my arb business is busy and takes up more of my time now. I dont want the hassle of employing people to do this so thought I would look for a partner or associate, to come on board and work with me. There is also the possibility of me including the fire wood side of things with sales annually of approximately 400 vented bags and about 30 transit loads. Cheers, Robert. Business Opportunity Falkirk/Stirling I would consider entering into some sort of business partnership to mill and sell hardwood timbers also design and make furniture/wooden products The right person should have experience, plenty of enthusiasm and has the ability to drive the venture forward. I have my own designs and pictures of furniture that I have made and sold and they will be included. I also have pieces of furniture that would be available for exhibitions or which could be use for marketing. I have a secure workshop 30ft by 60ft within a 4acre site. 3 phase and 240 power supply Comprehensive collection of heavy duty woodworking machines and equipment To many hand tools and consumables to mention Mobile chainsaw mills Arrow smith kiln in 14ft insulated container, also 20ft and 35ft insulated containers Kiln about half filled with dried timber (oak, ash, sycamore, spalted beech, elm) Approximately 6tonne air dried 2” planked oak About 150tonne mixture of round hardwood timbers with some fairly long lengths Round timbers are constantly being brought in. Tractor with loader, telescopic telly handler, timber crane and timber trailer, 3 tonne digger with timber grab, 3tonne dumper, large PTO hydraulic wood splitter, 2No 3.5t tipper trucks, 4wd jeep pick up and 3No large ifor Williams road trailers would be made available to assist in any way Any one interested or requires any further information I can be contacted on Welcome or mobile 07803591153

I have moved two containers that way. They were only 14ft thought. Brought them from boarders to Stirling on 12ft Ifor trailers behind discovery. They were insulated and they weren't particularly heavy but the size I felt drew a fair bit of funny looks from other drivers and I think I was lucky not to encounter any cops on route or I think they would have pulled me in. Whether they would have done any thing, well don't know. Personally I wouldn't want to move longer containers this way. As already mentioned i think it would be fairly cost effective to find a local haulier with hiab who could fit two twentys at one time and do it right.
