Let's be honest though Steve, you're selling yours, so you're not going to admit it's an overpriced white elephant are you?
-
To me, it does not look worth that sort of money, surely you could get a Mog cheaper?
-
That bloke writing "peace" on that shop front wants a slap mind.

Very very funny

On the odd occasion out here I have had the use of professional timber cutters for a day and they use that method; because,as previously stated, it maximises the millable wood.

75 squid a day AND you supply fuel and your own saw! in the south of England. Have things got that bad? Surely as a groundy for a tree surgeon you would earn more, (and it'd be a lot easier!)

My winch is driven hydraulicly from a pump attached to the gearbox. I know some are direct through shafts to the winch. I can see that one like that would be difficult to operate remotely, but when you are talking about hydraulics it"s fairly routine (for my brother!) He replace the "junction box" in the left side wing, and put a receiver and other gubbins in the cab, He fits autosteer systems to tractors so fairly early on in the process he left me behind.

Nice truck, won't go far wrong with that.

Karabiner on the end of the lowering rope for light to medium lowering, put a half hitch in front for the heavy stuff.
-
Well done on the job, oop north will have to wait then.

Chiropractor, crack me back in place, back to work that afternoon.

Judging by the "my silky bit me" thread a lot of experienced blokes on here are "idiots" FWIW Jamie I think a little guidance on these vicious little blighters is long overdue.

I know but I carry a fork in case it won't tip!

You can go into a hire shop round here and hire any saw from a MS200 to a MS880, no tickets nothing. and like you say there isn't arms and legs lying all over the place.

Too right, I don't know why people worry if Joe Public buys a topper, so what?
-
Maybe a bit less, a full transit (around 5 cube) is in the region of 1350 kg course all depends on species. Poplar less, Eucalyptus more

They were away (holiday home) and yes Jon the winch is a peach, my brother fitted a radio remote so I direct the pull from under the tree whilst felling, safer and saves a lot of arm waving!
-
Interesting job the other day, a stand of oaks blocking the view from a big house over the dordogne river/valley, nothing massive. Catch was they were at the bottom of a 6 metre slope with a sheer drop of 25 odd metres (not visible) to the valley floor. Trees had to be winched back for the felling, HL14, then I put a chain on the trunks and pulled them up to the garden. One of those days you love the landy!
-
It's been said on here before but it seems to me that these things are more dangerous and cause more injuries than a MS200, When I was at college we used bowsaws before they let us loose with chainsaws. (little chance of self harm) I know people love these things but the number of injuries and extent of the damage must start bells ringing somewhere. HSE or the AA for example. For the record I don't use them.

I said it before but....sorry you are paying for my idiotic driving whilst your age.

I moisturise:001_smile:

'preciate it David, thanks, no valuble targets under the tree, but will make the client aware.
-
God that was quick, (thanks!) bad or not?
-
Ok I am always quick to hand out advice so now I'm asking for some; Scenario, leaning umbrella pine no obvious (recent) root plate movement, found some fungal activity took photos, thoughts? (someone's just got an iphone!)

Really great pics Matt, lovely looking dogs.
