Don't know about the bomford but ryetec rebadge italian machines, might be worth a look on their website.

In addition to treedaves comments. The sovema has a scraper. It gets bent and broken all the time. The roller bearings get replaced nearly as much as it needs greasing. Hers the link for previous thread with picture, its on first page.http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/large-equipment/51061-bcs-valiant-650-alpine-tractor.html

Depending on density of scrub/vegetation, you may struggle to above 1.2m width with 75hp I have used a 1.2m on a 90hp BCS alpine tractor and it can be slow work or stalling. People tend to leave it late when the material has gone woody and takes more chewing up. P.S I used a sovema with side shift from kilworth. Check geometry of linkage and pto on any purchase. This one operates at tight pto guard shredding angles. It is posted in a picture on here in a thread on alpine or BCS tractors

No not the legal issues again:lol:

If you do transplant self harvested ones. Mulch/keep weed free and water with extra vigilance. For a quicker success, may not make sense now! trim roots to no more than 20cm across. Line out in your garden, care for them for the growing season. Lift late October early November. You should get top grade stock and rubbish plants will show their worth. As for where they come from it doesnt currently matter. But avoid getting them from diseased areas of other species. Maybe even wash the roots off to minimise phytophra etc.

It was a good shot though. I thought Paving Slabs:laugh1:

It was all the rage a while back. Even Lazy student types thought they had the makings of a good farmer because they spent hours on it. :001_rolleyes:I think it was connected to facebook. Which Im not on either, I prefer my own life in my own space with interesting people. Everyday is a school day on Arbtalk.

A quick google tells me its a kind of parallel arm that fits a sander. I think the general answer is we slab as accurate as we can, then smaller slabs can go through a planer thickenser. Larger pieces are not a major problem when not true, part of the rustic character.

If restraining hadn't taken place here what would of happened? I doubt someone said "Lets go for a walk and you can tell me all about it" Without getting physical. 1000 people could be dead potentially! BBC News - North Sea passenger ferry hit by fire

Nice experience Drew, Im in NZ at the moment and find it demoralising how the kauri were clear felled. To give others an idea of how long it will take to replace them these are recent photos taken in Nelson NZ. Both photos are same tree.

I think its been discussed before, if I remember right its a rubber seal/guide under the plate next to the clutch. I have 357xp and 346xp. Both can do it, especially when warm and when using bio oils. try typing in 357xp or 346xp leak in search tab.

Valid point, but farming simulator is a success, how many people are actually famers? Same with mainstream games of crime &war. Also lots of people watch axmen, swamp loggers. Although it will glamourise the industry it could create awareness, albeit without aches and pains and real world legalities which would make it tedious if done in detail.

Tasers or stunguns. No contact, problem neutralized:bluboomteamenforcer Thats a whole nuther can of worms:001_rolleyes:

Legally in cotton wool world its not allowed. Personally If I was responsible I would at some point become physical. I couldn't live with the conscience of not doing something and someone was injured. In the theory world of the classroom they preach the ideal situation. As we know away from shirts and ties and paper its very different. Just be reserved and careful I reckon. At the rate we are going protesters will be very untouchable within a short time. Human rights(self important arrogance) will prevail. I do agree with the idea of human rights, just not the distorted version.

As you coach your staff they could reach a level thats required to compete in timbersports competition. Then on a scheduled date, have a mega online brawl competition.

I've read it, thanks for download pointer Ben. Here is my personal points, others will differ. I agree with the style and attitude towards his tree pruning and keeping trees for the longer term. I think beyond my lifespan when dealing with a tree. He is trying to leave trees in a better state for years to come and he deserves praise for this. What I would prefer and think would help present this information in a more solid convincing light is to take out the personal "I" this or that in the text as this makes it a one man crusade and akin to the american style promotional deals we get on the web. You know the "Send me just $99.99 and I will give you the information you need to never worry about money ever again" This book does not deserve to be looked at in this light. Also to cut out the 500 million years of evolving and us being like orang-utangs, Despite what ones personal beliefs are in this it has little effect on dealing with the tree now I feel . When Attenborough says" xxxxx billion years ago when.... I react, how do you know it was that long ago? I have read several books on science matters and the more you look in to it the less convincing it all is and opens even more arguments, whilst undermining credibility. Its like defending yourself in court about a charge. Just give the information thats asked for and needed. You don't mention other things that make you less favouable. This would make a shorter book perhaps but people would get the knowledge they need. This sounds highly critical, but its not. Its just two points. I could of emailed the author directly but, have put it out on here to get the ball rolling. I hope it stimulates others then David can crack on with the next instalment. P.S Mods feel free to mod or delete this post. And David feel free to email me through the avatar link.

This was posted a while back, still has the same effect.http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/climbers-talk/44929-ermmmm-no-thanks.html

I use 357s. But if I use them for long periods I get dead arm in the night and it keeps me awake. I looked at the vibration calculator on the Husky website, they are not recommended for long days of use. However the smaller 346xp is much better in this regard and most limbs and branches are well within its scope. I run 346's on 13 inch bars and the 357's on 15 inch. Both these saws are well suited to modifying with "Porting" Look it up in the toolbar, lots on here about it. Im getting a 346 done by Spud (Frequently found on this thread http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/33857-whats-your-bench-today.html) This brings the performance up to similar spec to the 550xp and 560xp I understand. If you plan on doing saw work in colder weather, I recommend the xpg versions with heated handles. It keeps you warm in the extremities of the fingers, which reduces vibration troubles. If you hawkeye ebay and know what you are looking for i.e not a dud. You can get them for £200- £300 either the 346 or 357. I have bought 2 346's and a 357 this year. But of late they seem to have gone up. 346xp/g's with silver side are newer models with primer bulb and a little more power. As for a stihl I cannot recommend a saw as I never use one. But someone will know. You don't have your location in your avatar, but gumtree in some areas get ads sometimes for saws.

This happened. So we reused the head, Some redundant pipes. Scrap metal and bought hydraulic fittings and the valveblock. Already had the ram from another project that didn't happen. Its better for fatigue than the maul. But not strong enough for difficult pieces.

Blooming heck I was more naive and innocent than I thought. I have generally always done ok with ebay.

Glad to be more informed. Ive never seen them have a detrimental effect on oaks, but the do seem to reoccur on the same trees on an ongoing basis, never knew it was a wasp. Older and wiser.

I would agree but if a one man operation does the work of two with this. In a year It will pay for itself in the sense of £13-20k would be the cost of an employee. However you would not want it sitting around.
