  1. what about chipper reversing round a course behind a transit quickest time to complete the maintanance checks as per cs 30
  2. if your still looking for someone i have a mate at plumpton college that family runs a christmas tree farm i could get his number for u as he should be slightly cheaper or google dig ur own christmas trees as they are an awefulo lot cheaper
  3. i've seen these stocked on fr jones and was wondering if anyone uses one they look well padded and i prefer seat harneses to legloop ones but want something with a sliding d rather than fixed as i find it easier to move with the sliding d's
  4. they are unbraked so would be no good on the road also i don't think thoose wheels are speed rated and possibly would the lack of centre boulsterrs be a hinderance
  5. its 14 on private land for work 16 for the roads but only small setups and 17 with full driving licence for anything over 2.45 meters
  6. i pullover when ever sensible but genearally find it easier to back of the revs on long straights to let everyone overtake there is one road can't remember its name where it got absolutely ridiculous and i was pulling over constantly as in rush hour traffic and as soon as i pulled out there seemed to be 10 cars behind me the worst i think are cycalists, they should have to pull over for tractors as the tractors don't have the accelaration to overtake them on allot of roads and it means the whole traffic jam is slowed to cycalist speed and on some local roads there is no option bar to follow them for miles if you have a large implement and trailer on or even worse when your traveling in convoy
  7. the idea sugested before is already available from merlo i think its called a quingo or similiar vids on u tube i posted up a while back
  8. i have a pair of protector pros made in the same time as the people who are complaining of fualts and after a year they still look new having only been used for forestry not climbing my mate has a pair of husky technicals and after a year i cannot believe they are still intact after the abuse he has given them don't know if there water proof but they are deffinately indestructable
  9. my dad had this problem with a different type of specialist protective boot and was told by hse that you can't wear what they don't make and wear a pair of steelies of your choice
  10. the above tractor is made by Fort i believe who are know linked in with ferrari so laberhurst engineering may be able to help
  11. landini also make a small crawler with pto and three point linkage and is modern and up to eu standards
  12. a winch is perfectly safe if used and maintained corectly and all links in the system are of the correct SWL you don't say exactly what u want to do so hard to say what equipment is available for your needs and any other equipment capable of dragging trees out is going to be just as dangerous in the wrong hands
  13. why doesn't every one time themselves doing it in each way then there can be an arbtalk approved way of doing it i know i can make a net bag of logs in 3 minutes average over a day including stacking them on a pallet and strapping them up and can do more if filling using the conveyour from the procesor i can make about three small kindling bags a minute out of a kindlet machine depending on how its being operated
  14. i have just done similiar and laid it out in a rick assesment there are plenty of templates on the internet and then did a title page to include everything not in the template i.e. first aiders nearest hospital grid eference and if its an sssi or not
  15. the manual ones are fine if you get the log pick to go with them just aslong as they have the extension to the conveyour fitted at the front i think having hydraulic foward motion would clog alot if wood is not straight
  16. i was worried about the equipment until we started mucking about at college being tied from the smallest crotch on an oak tree with the tail wrapped round another 30ft away whilst all your mates jump on the line seems to give everyone in our class confidence in the equipment
  17. why not make wire hooks similiar to butchers hooks that can expand easily as the tree grows
  18. Itay’s Iveco Campagnola Takes On Jeep Wrangler - Truckblog or the massif for a long wheel base version
  19. my dad worked on a farm with 2 when he was younger and apparently they are the most appalling tractors ever made strong engine and rear axle but have poor geometry at the back and like doing wheelies at inopertune times
  20. i've had mine for about 6 months no but not in daily use there is one hole which hasn't grown atall they are so comfy and cool in the summer and so much tuffer than hiflexs i didn't even tear then when caught on barbwire
  21. other than landys you do have santana ps10's which are similiar to landys in almost every way you could also go for any of the pickups in single cab configuration and just fit an ifor canopy
  22. there was a neat chainsaw model on the riko stand at bently that i think would fit the bill self loading aswell so you don't have to cut the cord down plus its petrol and towable so give them a call there advert is on the right >
  23. teach the help what to do we have got it well sorted at work but it helps that we all do both parts so you learn how difficult it can be with poor hand signals if he is that bad get him to hold his hands appart the disstance of the hitch from the ball and move them closer/ further away as you move the truck works a treat and very difficult to **** up
  24. i think a redesighn of the prossesors would be required so that they could handle a bigger variety of timber without any human interaction i think the main thing would be to use infeed rollers as on a chipper or harvester head rather than a conveyour i think this would lead to less jam ups and the ability to process a bigger variety of timber
  25. i think a little more kit would be required than one machine though if handling big stuff or arbwaste such as SplitMaster 30 on skidding trailer or this Gigant 40 - Holzspalter, liegend 40t to get the big stuff small enough to go through a processor and even then only the largest posch and bindenberger machines are properly self contained with no human interaction other than the controls
