Seeking advice on pulling tree with tractor...
swinny replied to swinny's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
These are big tree's though.... sticks 40-45 ft tall then 15-20ft topping growth... 28"-30" at base. sight back leans towards houses... Want some good rope etc -
Hi there, Just seeking some advice on what rope to get / wire for use with a tractor when pulling leaning tree's over.... and any other advice that can be given. I do have a decent steel cable with fixed eye's but this is too short! Also when you get steel cable, you are at a fixed length so it may suit one job but may be to long for another. I need it to be versatile, light ish and strong. Do people use decent ropes and use knots? Or use a portawrap to tension/attatch to the tractor? doesn't this put to much strain on porta wrap which would still need to be used for rigging operations... All help greatly appreciated!! Cheers

Depends on budget aswell. 5k doesn't get much of a transit! 2004-2006

Its going to be a 660 i'm pretty sure... was only thinking of husky's for vibes but all my other saws are stihl.... wonder weather to go for heated handles or not...
-

Hmmmm, i do like the 064, but was thinking of seeling and putting towards a new 660.... noticeable difference ey? hmmm

Hi there, may be in the market for a new 85-95cc saw, would be wanting to runs a 36" bar on this. Looking to buy new not second hand. To possibly replace a 064 stihl YES i have tried the search engine... but it doesn't pick up on saw models etc..... When buying a saw of this size, should i possibly look at heated handles? not used heated handles before but only a little extra to have them... I'm usually a stihl man, and have used a 660 with a 36" bar etc.... not used a husky of this size.... Cheers Chris

When is the job? Dates etc. Cheers -

Good chippers, plenty of bits avaliable, service bits cheap. simple design. opening to rollers square so more snedding, radiators very expensive if they go.... Mines been a belter. Seems the new flywheel bearings made nowadays are made out of cheers though... I daren't change mine lol

Here's my mut. If you ever work with me, don't leave your sandwiches in the van, or leave your van door open with lunch on the seat little sod p.s. he's not bothered if its still in the wrapper
-
Exactly. Its the time to process. Store and cost that makes the logs the price they are.... basically the logs are loaded on back of truck and take back to yard. So to think theyre worth 100plus is dreaming. 40-50 quid max... tryj g to get out of splittjng them and thinking of cashing in big bucks lol.......
-
Just dropped mine off this morning for a good check over! Pressure test. Vac test etc and a good look over. Too much of an expensive saw for anythjng to go wrong with it. Bough mine 2nd hand and want to make sure its ok. Plus its been sat not doing much for last few months lol numb bugger

lol thats the thing its in a sports field.... trying to save taking my tractor... back to the drawing board
