Like many of us, probably in the shed on the "To do list" Im interested too.

I think I will get a few pairs, rather than waste my money on getting any more saws ported Spud, thanks for the heads up.

So just get a flatbed and carry the goods on it. No O licence required simples!!

I would just insure the needed kit that needs replacing instantly to get going again. Consider the old saws etc like you do with a tax write off situation if you know what I mean. Its a bonus to have them as long as you do. My wifes car is always something we could replace in an instant, that is an older non desirable motor. I personally just use insurance for what I couldn't afford to replace if you get my drift. Same goes for white goods. We never get the extra cover at so much a year. Because over 5 years you have paid for a new appliance in redundant money that you no longer have. Better off stashing it away then buying a new un

I have used a an 8 or 9 inch bearcat pto chipper on an 82HP case without stress control. It can do it with ease. But if you are filling the feed hole to its capacity with solid log and not brash, you need to be adjusting the feed speed constantly. Otherwise it stalls. Also have run it on a 1966 plate JD710 52HP which runs it well. Whilst this doesn't answer the OP question. It shows it depends on the material you intend putting through. I've seen an iseki 21hp compact tractor run a palax KS35 firewood processor, though it wouldn't want 300mm diameter oak putting through. It is suprising what the little ones will cope with.

Was only thinking about looking up the progress on this the other day... Then its popped up in unread threads, glad to see its underway.

Never trust a man with a comb over he even lies to his self.

Driving the bobcat along the felled tree with a roadplaner attachment, converting it in to firewood.

Depending on how well maintained it is previous to your attempt. If its a reduction in height job. Trim sides with hedgetrimmer, reaching to a consistent height (note your poise, arms 90 degrees or max your reach, etc) Then stand back to check its the same and level. You now have a top line to chainsaw along or hedge trim. Does depend on species and state of neglect.

True, Hard case Thats why you have fantastic jet boats and other extreme ways of achieving things we like. Bungee devices etc.

Now thats how we used to get things done in the pre red tape days. Fred Dibnah style, know your zone and limits, then work with them.

It seems if you fell it ring it, split it. It cracks open itself more. But I do live on the coast where wind is the norm. Yes it does dry. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I may be out of date then. Too many memories of castlemaine xxxx ads and the like. It is surprising how the bureaucracy has caught upon nz in the last 9 years since I 1st went. Back to topic. It is time the bling mobiles were reduced in excess and cut back to the no frills chuck a bucket at it workhorse mentioned above. I do hope the new ranger is good but they are too Yankee numb for practicality I reckon. A 7.5 tonner can nearly have the same footprint as the chrome laden chunkys that are the norm. Let's face it most people have worked out it doesn't increase the size of your manhood. Or profit of your business. As much as I'm not fond of landrovers they are available in basic spec with 3.5t towing. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Errm, did Mog say anything:confused1:

Don't forget also that Oz and NZ are more likely to abuse machinery as they are not as weighed down with liability and leglistation. It could be a factor, also modern low emission engines are more fussy. "She'll be right mate, she'll either pull it or she won't" Not stereotyping our down under rellys, but it is different there.

I find Farmers trees and country angle iron support stake folk the worse for it.

I planted a shelter belt on solid clay. It did ok eventually. Another one near it that had plenty of cow/pig muck ploughed in before planting did significantly better. Whilst the points raised above are very valid. Humus from manure can only improve soil structure, moisture retention etc. Some fruit growers and nurseries are said to use millcreek manure spreaders to mulch the rows. Also in the above shelterbelts my Dad throws all his poultry manure which is high in nitrogen. Will no ill effects as yet.

I use one. Its good, not used a stihl to compare it against though. Apart from outlay worse thing is so many teeth to sharpen.

It's a dangerous job but most accidents happen at home !

In my experience you bang your head more with a hard hat. Do it hard enough the neck gets a real jolt. -

Nice:thumbup: Beautiful looking wood. I'd love a huge lump/s of western red cedar. -
Dave meredith is round Penrith area last I knew. Dave Hornby is the chap I did mine with in 2002. Is he retired then?

Used to be a chap at Hexham 12 years ago. I did mine with him. John somebody I think. May be retired now. Vague memory.
