An Irish opinion ?.: As a red raw trainee you may not yet have enough of a “feel” for the saw or the species and may not be fully sure how the piece will swing. The video shows a cautious, almost idiot proof procedure for a trainee to remove a simple section. After years of experience we take the skill, judgements and timing involved in “straight through” cuts for granted . As well as working from a basket or rope and harness it’s a lot of new stuff to get comfortable with. I can only speak for over here but I think a lot of guys are climbing with chainsaws before they have a clue how to use them properly. I think video may be intended for first time out before progression (for those who succeed)to more ambitious stuff under supervision .

I didn’t say that ?

Does stress control work from trailer lights plug? if so probably need to have parking lights on to get power to control box
-
Probably don’t need to tell you to drive nice and gently with chains on. very easy to break wheel studs or even half-shaft if you hit a stump too hard with all that traction
-
Very good point re. False sense of security.

Yep. It’s a Cundey. my first off farm job was using one for pointing fencing stakes. £11 pounds per day 1984. should have put me off timber for life

Hi. A friend of mine is hoping to build a sauna also. would nice clean macracarpa be suitable ?
-
Cool! I don’t know how it works cope with our Sitka spruce though.. There was a delimbing machine being trialed over here in the 70s called a Tree Monkey , the old forestry guys had loads of horror stories about it.

Never heard of these. What does it attach to?

Not depressing at all. mini loader for late February, all going well?

8 cans of carlsberg and a new toothbrush

Never seen one like that. I see it’s husqvarna. interesting to see how effective it is .

Thanks for sharing ?

Great saw but worst guide bar ever, techlite 20 inch pitted and flaking after very little work

18 meter would be better for tree work. the more outreach the better.

In Ireland: €12700+vat with 18hp €14500 for 22jhp timber grab is €750 I spoke to a guy who had a demo, he weighed the bale in the photo , it was over 250kgs. said had tried several different makes and found this the most user friendly and stable.

We’re getting a demo of a Microbull. french or ilalian built. lifts 250kgs 750 wide weighs 680kgs is on tracks, vanguard 18 or 22hp engine. looks handy, had never seen before. will try and post link later

Your nearest Timberwolf dealer should be able to find those

I have the husky battery one and like it. i keep an Aldismarine bag on it to keep it dry when not in use. its nicely balanced with the 120 battery, a bit heavy with the big 130. it did get very wet once and stopped working for two days but fine since. i haven’t used the stihl one. id say a polesaw is the most tool that gives you exhaust burns on your hi-viz and fumes towards you so battery one a lot less horrible
-
[email protected] i think they are called Ground protection or something like that. Good to deal with. i bought 27 of them for €3k(Ex vat) grey Duromats. you need the slots alright, awkward to handle otherwise.
-
I think they used those to cross cut full pole lengths at roadside. cool find!
-
I really like this set up. Kind of mini swamp loggers. if mounted on blade though, would be easy enough to flip a track off when dragging load “in reverse “?

I’m hoping to go see a 12inch bandit in the next week or two. The guy selling it is now doing most of his “non grab fed chipping” with a TW 280, says it’s an amazing chipper . ive nothing against Forst but there seem to be an awful lot of 2 and 3 year old ones for sale around the place.
