    I have seen the Alstor working on very steep terrain. Nice machine but expensive to purchase new even in the UK. The Vimek can be used as an ATV without the back section unlike the Alstor 8x8. Both with a petrol engine which drinks fuel with hard work. Maintenance costs are high. There is an alternative and I shall find the link. I had looked at these machines several years ago for moorland work.

    I am looking for info please on a simple robust tool seen in France/Germany a while ago that will enable one to make a cubic metre round bale of cordwood. (Ideal to move around and stack to season wood) No idea who makes them and the price compared to making one in the shed. It has twin removable steel rings so one can load and then tighten up with banding then release and do more. I do not like the plastic sacks and bulk bags as these damage and often are not returned.

    The seas will be devoid of fish within 30 years time at current fishing rates and people having excessive amounts of children. China have a limit of two. One world we need to look after as there is nowhere else to go.

    I am planning a visit to NZ and the "South Island". Last time we went to Australia landing in Brisbane and on the second afternoon were attacked/chased by a large Eastern Brown snake when looking around an old rural home. (The man had told us no snakes around as wintertime) Regarding purchase in NZ/OZ the value of the UK£ is so low at present that changing monies/property purchase is difficult I heard unless in remote rural areas. (There is a new TV series called Wanted down Under).

    SORRY NO, Arthur Cundey and his two sisters ran "Cundeys" well before selling the site to a Vets as the same time selling the "Production Rights" to Technorton. The office was old fashioned and run without PC's. The firm also produce a cable extraction for the FC a very long time ago. Nice people to do business with. I called Technorton and was told it had closed due to recession and had sold out to a firm who produced flail hedge machines. I called this firm and it was not producing at present which was a shame.

    Time to leave home and find a nice understanding female friend/wife and a home with a wood stove with a rack above where you both can dry work/horse riding clothing. We can go to the moon but no one to date makes full waterproof chainsaw trousers!!

    Fine views! Parachute down would be fun.

    I have always wanted to go but lack of time. Should make the effort this time as heard it's a very good show. (Sounds like a lavvo telt in the woods then)

    Let the tyre pressures down and lift the woodchipper up high on the linkage to avoid being a plough. Should drive out then with diff locks on.

    Beavers. JOKE.

    Numerous councils are looking at methods of making more funds. (Word of mouth and business image are more effective)

    If you can swim well and like the agressive Eastern Brown snakes. I have some friends working there in New South Wales and Queensland. The traditional homes were on wooden stilts to avoid floods unlike the modern brick houses.

    Is there no a telephone number on the side of the machine the Police could call? So the local Police are taking woodchippers with a crane now. Pleased it has worked out for you!!

    The NFU said certain "Agricultural" type vehicles like the Unimog/Fastrac and a couple of additional rare makes that were designed with a load bed for Agricultural/forestry use can carry legally loads. The insurance document I have allows that provided it is a load belonging to me. Distance is legally between sections of land worked by the person who owns the vehicle and the product. The time you should not use it for considered "haulage" is when doing Tree Surgery work unless roadside. (Not private gardens)

    Well done to "Edenarb" on the win in the raffle. The HM11's are being posted this afternoon in time for all the black ice up there.

    Well if you see some of the places we have worked with trained horses over the years you would be very surprised. No machine access and like a sledge slope:001_rolleyes: Pole length Larch trees with 18" base where a machine had sunk. Fresh Oak with 24" base and in 18' lengths. I used to have a small U600 with an Igland winch with 400m of cable but found horses were more reliable/useful on the terrain types we work on and you cannot share lunch with a tractor.

    Watered down so not too visible.

    Cow manure.

    I have friends in the Manchester/Oldham areas so have forwarded the picture you posted. Hope you find the vehicle and the scum who stole it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    A well trained horse with Spikes/Heels n Toes shoes would do the work. Tree lengths extraction and voice control.

    A friend who works in an office has been bought a new "leisure" model Husqvarna by Santa's wife to saw up firewood on a wooden bench at home. I know from a safe/sense viewpoint he should be wearing basic chainsaw clothing but where does the law stand on this as a novice/leisure person. I asked if he had a helmet with ear/eye protection and the response was I am not doing it for a living. He does not even own steel capped work boots!

    I am now using this on some work items including chainsaws as the kit costs around £14. Simple to use and can also be installed on Cameras/Mobiles/PC's. Comes with stickers for windows/equipment/buildings to discourage thieves.

    Price please for bulk drums:thumbup1:
