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

P

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.

Seems to be holding out okay

Has anyone tried the German police rain jackets? There’s a fella selling them around the marts and shows over here . A roofer friend of mine swears by them. look very well made with a removable lining. Bought one yesterday €100. no doubt I’ll know how waterproof it is before the week is out.

Any more photos?

What model country is that? looks like 974 or 1174. i ran a highlander 764 for maybe 5 years in the 90s. On decent ground you could average 35 ton per day on clearfell (cut motor manualy) maybe 25ton on thinnings . At the time that gave a decent profit, fuel was around a £7 for 25 liter per day and county parts we’re readily available, new and second hand when needed. i,am not sure if that sort of production would leave a decent income nowadays and running costs would definately be much higher. Also, work environment was pretty crude by today’s standards and fumes from glazed Ford engine couldn’t have been too healthy. much as I love Country’s, they had poor ground clearance and needed wheel chains to be any good in forest . id say ValmetValtra units would do as much work with more comfort for the operator. That looks an interesting unit and being a Country might hold its value, I suppose it depends what rates you can secure for what it can do for you .

How about photos or a sketch of job and site?

Wouldn’t be safe with that much weight, swing geometry would be crazy, a lot of stress on lift arm stabilizers. i would think toe ball is only intended for small trailer or chip bin off public roads. they seem to use dolly type set ups in Europe a lot more than here. There was a nice set up on here a while back with a long drawbar under chipper. i think it was a Jensen on a case or a macormack

Was reading about this earlier. i would love to know what it was used for by its previous owners.

Thanks. sorry, what’s ipl? sorry everybody for de-rail

Very happy with 572. 20 inch, great all rounder. does anyone know if outside spikes can be fitted ? could do with them for heavy felling

Better get it quick!! ?

Pity you can’t tell him to shove it. whatever your day rate per man is, it’s worth that on top.

Was going to offer €3k

Interesting machine . cant get into full ad on Mascus , don’t know why.

Flat battery?
