560xpg + 16" Cannon bar + .325 full chisel (sharpened properly) + 8 pin rim sprocket = An almost perfect felling saw!
-
Morning, Things are a bit slow at the moment, so am looking for anyone who might want a hand with anything from planting to cutting work and everything in between. My main area of work is Cumbria but will also consider surrounding areas. Have been running a small hand cutting/skidding/extraction crew, so my main business has been on the forestry side, but have done a fair bit of ground work for arborists. If it's of any use I also own a valtra and driven self loading trailer and a county with a 5t double drum winch. I am fully insured (PL & EL), and tickets to date are; CS 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 PA 1&6 FMOC 1.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 & 4.1 Emergency First Aid Certificate Anything would be much appreciated! You can get me on here, or on 07796868628 Thanks, Paddy.

Strange, I've been running an 8 pin sprocket and had no problems with it. Can't really say I've had any major problems with mine. I'll admit I didn't realise there was a way to start it warm so was cursing for a bit, and change of a spark plug to the newer type. Other than that so far it's probably the best saw I've owned! Maybe it's just the way others look after them....

Just got your message tonight. Don't get on here that often. There may be a few people I could put you in touch with, as well as possibly myself, for work. Can you send me your CV so I can get an idea of what experience etc you have please? ([email protected]). Thanks, Paddy

An everlasting bar can go on my list to make me a million when I invent one, together with air con chainsaw trousers!! Never heard of those bars before
-
Cannot rate Cannon bars enough. After I went through 4 prolite in a month I swapped. First Cannon bought at last APF, and granted I don't do as many hours on the saw now, it's still fine. Replaced nose sprocket once and only just started having to dress the rails. Expensive but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. As for the power match - I have one on an older saw but never really used it much. Can't imagine it'll last anywhere near as long as a Cannon but should be a lot better than the prolite.

I'm glad you were having a relaxing time Hodge - About the same time you posted that I was busy winching one of the tractors out of the wood!

Self releasing snatch blocks
Lumberjack Pad replied to Chris Sheppard's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I have the one in the link put up. They do seem hard to find but can save a lot of running around! I think brindley might do one... Snow Chains ? Chain Slings - Auto Sock ? Brindley Chains -
and they are expensive!

Need the three sears in the front. I know you can get the rear seats for the connects but they don't fold out of the way too well so still loose the space in the back. Connects are good vans and pretty bomb proof - I know of one that was rear ended at something like 70mph and it's still driving around, although it does look a little illegal! Have also heard you will struggle to get the mpg out of the connects.

Never heard that on the doors, although have heard similar stories on other french makes. The one I'm looking at is a 2009, so the new shape one. Also has separate deadlocks fitted to all doors.

Thanks for replys. Looks like for the size etc it could be the choice...
-
Thinking of getting one to cut miles off the landy and save on fuel! Wondering if anyone has got one and what you think of it? What mpg are you getting? Drove one on a test drive and it felt quite good, for a citroen! Cheers.

How long does your UJ Last on your 90/110/130 land rover
Lumberjack Pad replied to mendiplogs's topic in General chat
two defenders over 5 year and only changed one... See what tomorrow brings now I've said that! -
You lot were meant to be working, not clarting around taking pictures!! Definately a stump! Old half rotton thing full of lovely rotting things to blunt chains! Lots of old big coppice stumps in there. Someone just started it a bit low
-
For such a small area you could always pull it up (carefully to get as much as the root system as possible) and burn on site.

hydraulic driven / mechanically driven timber trailers
Lumberjack Pad replied to David Riding's topic in Large equipment
Timberliner are chain driven to the wheels via the hydraulics and a lot of over-engineering and gubbins in the trailer (inc a diff lock!). Hydraulics are run from pto into pump inside the trailer. Personally I would go for this type of set up as opposed to the cage driven ones. It will go anywhere, untill you are down past the axels There are some out on the market I have seen on the web, but not sure who makes them, I think Farmi did one. -
I hope it's some kind of joke. I think I'm going to be sick.....!
-
I wouldn't bother. You'll probably scare yourself watching it in red-band most of the time!
-
Have to get mine at the pump and pay the princely sum of £0.90/l. Not sure how much for bulk orders round these parts at the moment.
-
Not had a vast amount to do with them, but from past experience, chances are if you put them up at those points, the stubborn beggers will push their way under the fence near the gates. Tended to then plug the holes with rocks large enough that they think twice about doing it again!

Timber Stack Volume quibbles
Lumberjack Pad replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
For an average stack (ie. not complete bent rubbish) it should probably be around the 65-70%. Sounds like the buyer is trying it on.
