  1. Was reading about this earlier. i would love to know what it was used for by its previous owners.
  2. Thanks. sorry, what’s ipl? sorry everybody for de-rail
  3. 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
  4. Better get it quick!! ?
  5. Pity you can’t tell him to shove it. whatever your day rate per man is, it’s worth that on top.
  6. Was going to offer €3k
  7. Interesting machine . cant get into full ad on Mascus , don’t know why.
  8. Flat battery?
  9. Had a hatred of polesaws from my powerline days. Used to use stihl and tried echo and Husqvarna also. Must have had 4 or 5 at one stage and there was always one in for repair. i bought the battery husqvarna last year mainly for one job but now use it loads, mostly from basket. .Battery lasts hours as mostly only cutting 2 to 3 inch timber. also husqvarna polesaws and top handers don’t seem to fling the chain as easily as stihl ones
  10. What make is the crane? do the slew cylinders rotate with the boom? (I know, I’m sad)
  11. I think 300mm would be a big ask for a 4 tonner

    Wilsons have a sheilsing 440 pto at the moment. Would handle most stuff you’d feed by hand

    I think you’d need at least 90 horsepower for that chipper. The older farmis weren’t the best on conifers

    Can’t see a problem with dismantle video. Didn’t notice where branches to close to boom tbh. fine to let all down if there’s a machine to sort after. When dismantling with mewp where theres not enough space for tractor/crane and chipping has to be done by hand we would drop for maybe 10 minutes then clear the deck then repeat. Easy to come down and help and no energy wasted getting back up again . i imagine Bobcat would destroy most of the sites we work on. An awful lot of shunting just to turn a limb around. mini digger/ grab/rotator much more efficient and gentle to site.also I’d say smaller area to rake afterwards. Just my thoughts Enjoyed both videos

    Did nptc cutting from mewp using top handed saw. Cuts are pretty much same as with climbing and you are supposed to keep saw outside of basket
  18. What type of splitter? own engine or tractor driven?
  19. God damn zipper-heads!

    Hard to beat a Dyna!
  21. “What goes on toor should stay on tour “. And all that?

    Noticed some fine stuff spitting out side of chipper today around cover where you change blades. A piece of casing had broken away leaving a small gap . Was wondering if this was a common occurrence with this model or has something solid got in there? theres no damage to blades.
  23. Manager of sawmill we used to cut for. ”I’d cut more with my flute!!”
  24. Pm sent. i would go for ST8 . You will recover the price difference in productivity in two months
  25. Both nice nimble tractors for winching or yard work but would be a bit light for pulling forwarding trailer? vallmet would be easier to guard and engine and gearing well suited to forestry type work. new Holland probably easier to sell on and get parts for. Have had Fiats in the woods and liked them
