Very cool did you see the groundy jump out the way of the earthing strap. Would not want to get a bolt of that!

Fr the money you will spend you will be far far better of going to A.C price as already said , don't buy a mog because it's cheep and will do " get the right mog for the job and save money in the long run

Great advice my first mog had a pto but no pickup hitch & links. The mog was a bit rough as well but it was cheap! I spent a lot doing it up & by the time I had done that I could have bought a real nice mog! I've just seen it for sale on Vos web site.

Sorry to hear this. Will keep a look out, was hoping a forst would be less desirable to thieves due to still being fairly unique. Bugger.

That had been my thoughts as well but I think they would struggle to shift it in the uk due to this & there not being any on the 2nd hand market. I hope it turns up!

It's a timber dragon Atkinson Vos build them. I've sold the trailer now to Ian Flatters look on the today's job thread & there are some better pictures

What about an air burner?

Got one bobcat with forestry flail for £520 per week !!!

Where from? Is it a flail or a mulcher sounds like a good price!

Like this?

Not great pictures if you would like some better ones let me know.

We have the A540 and it is a good m/cn but today chipping a lot of connie we had that recurring problem of the top roller getting stuck up . Fed a few bigger loge through which usually sorts it but not this time . When its like this it wont pull fluffy brash through . Had to put a big log in and stop it mid chip so it held the top roller up and I could dig out the crap from under the spigot of the top roller . Has the Forst equivalent model over come this occasional irritation ?

YES the ST6 Has this problem to it is a real pain. Forst tell me they have come up with a fix but they still have not returned my calls to book it in to get fixed only been waiting over 6 months :town:

The good thing with the ST6 is it has a small bar looks like a small felling bar that you slot into the top roller and it helps with opening the rollers, then you screw in a bolt & it hold it open.

Oh & not much Rot low down

Tim they want the timber :-( I always go to default and fell but I thought a hugger might have another idea ;-)

No Not on the fence & nowt to hit apart from the fence. Think I am going to leave a small monolith

Hi guys,

Just had a look at this Oak.

Nice healthy crown but my customer is concerned with the amount of rot in the trunk & roots there has been signs of honey fungus & two trees close by failed because of it.

Reduce by 35%

Monolith

Fell

What do you think?

If you want to pay for leads its fine also the leads are sent out to other guys so you will be competing with them. I tried it waste of time.

Ok so I’ve been looking around for a pair of non-protective climbing boots for a while now and have read all the reviews but I was still unsure of the ones to get. Then I came across the Arbortec Ascent Pro. I’ve only had them a short while and have done a few climbs in them.

When I first slipped them on they felt really light weight & comfortable. You can feel the high quality of the boot. The boot is in the lime green that you would see on most of Arbortec’s kit. I wore them around the office for the day & it was a real pleasure to have them on. I just hoped they were going to be a good climbing boot. On my first climb they definitely provided me with what I wanted from a climbing boot - plenty of grip from the Vibram sole, some flex in the boot but still providing ample support where you need it due to robust reinforced Italian leather. The laces are the full length of the boot & don't have any bits of metal protruding from the boot helping to stop any snagging.

I am going to use them when out surveying as well, as they seem to be very durable & have a Breathe Dry waterproof/ breathable membrane to help keep my feet dry!

A cracking pair of boots, I would highly recommend them.

I had one it was really nice to drive but had a few issues with it. First the pump for the air suspension went. Then the air bags went in the suspension this happened 3 times! When you raise the suspension to go off rd it gets covered in crap then you lower it and it rips the air bag! Had it changed to springs. Then the gear box went :-( but I did like driving it! My disco 3 was such a better truck

I used to cut trees back for BT.

They are not very proactive but are reactive so if the trees have knock the line out they will come & fix it but if it is still working they will leave it till the line fails or they are replacing the cable.

No 1 machine is perfect, and the way I look at it is compared to man power.

Maybe a mini digger and flail will be rubbish in the eyes of a road sude verge guy, but any things better than a day hacking away with strimmers and hedge cutters and a week of picking thorns out your fingers and arms!

If I buy a £3k flail, it will either last me 10 years or pay for itself, make me money and I'll renew it every few years.

Steve your spot on! Ok the machine is not the best for flail work but I was ALOT quicker than brush cutter & a lot cheaper that a bobcat & mulcher or a tractor & sidearm also when we were done we could rake up the rubbish & use the same tool to load

it. I've used loads of different bits of kit to make life easier & quicker & I think the small diggers are one of the most useful machines!
