Thanks for this. So 2.5 is purely for firewood then. I remember a good while ago it was 2.5 and 3.2's we had to cut etc
-
Is that just processor sized stuff or for a mix? Is processor classed from 14" and down? Cheers
-
If it was for fire wood though what would people expect etc?
-
Never sold a log to a milling man in my years trading. Had all-sorts too. Have sold a few decent logs to carver's though but that's few and far between.
-
Poor price on sending for biomass as logs... Think it was 15.00 per ton. Of the soft is worth 45-50 and hard 50-55 it's worth keeping to the side till a load to go out.

You over half a century old yet lol ?

I'm going to go down the selling logs in 2.5m lengths soon where I can. Any advice on how to judge weight would plan to sell via volume anyhow?, how to seperate Asin over size and processor size etc? Does over size still have a value etc? What sort of rates do hard and soft go for? I've just done a job where there are some nicer bits of larch to come back do these have value other than fire wood? Or just send it all out the door as firewood? Owt else I need to consider? Many thanks

I also have the isa guide and cd's here that I have browsed through but nothing more if anyones interested -
In layman's terms then call it a guide for dummies.... What we supposed to be using now? Usually a main line and a secondary attachment... But now what?

Prepare to get spanked on price lol -
You'd get away with it on brambles and light wips but nothing else and forget being able to keep the speed up with very much boom movement, What LPM does your Bob cat have? Trying to see the difference between yours and the smaller ones.

I'll follow this as would be interested to know about one for a.volvo ec15bxr

An old 3cx is purely a yard machine I say. If you want production and efficiency you'd have to be tractor trailer and excavator (though the tractor would run a hedge trimmer fine)

Has anyone made them selves a trailer with an hiab mounted? Any advice from your build etc? I was thinking of a flatbed trailer or a plant trailer. Mount hiab at the front and timber bolsters down the sides.... Just wondering if anyone on here had done this before and any advice? Had a hiab trailer before but wasn't really the right thing for the job. Now want to build something correct for the job and to make life easier! Many thanks

Low plastic fuel tank too.
-
Only thing I don't like about the 40 series is all the electrics and switches etc, big filters and wiring all exposed underneath. That said I have just bought a turbod new Holland 7840 to replace the mf399.... In comparison thought he 399 has a fuel tank up top on front so weight over front wheels. Next to no electrics and nothing really on show to rip off. 40 series need some decent guarding underneath! I'm going to have to do something to mine for when mulching!

You going to do much road work at all with it? Seen quite a few older Massey's for forestry work
-
You talking in relation to the TM Matty?
-
Won't be long till I retire my tree Austria... Pretty poor that the buckles are brass and alloy etc... Having the latches on the buckles seize up constantly due to supposed corrosion between the surfaces where the latches are. Only just over 2 years old aswell Back to a full fat tree motion next. Had a TM light before and it was aweful. TM full fat was a great harness!
-
I've seen often wondered about them big old towable Vermeer grinders for this kind of work? You know which I mean?
-
Yes that and needing to reset pallet forks for bags, Ibc and then these crates etc.... Then they bust and drop nails etc. I try run a no nail yard lol ?
