  1. That would have been ideal for going to the local discos back in the day ?
  2. Got remote from approved hydraulics in the end. Apollo brand , came from Holland. Friend who fitted for me well impressed with quality. first use today , makes a huge difference.
  3. If you google Valtra 6400, there’s one somewhere in Eastern Europe running a crane and trailer in a sawmill with 34000 hours done . For 25k you should find something that will be reliable for the next 8 years.. T the T130 is meant to be quite simple mechanically and they are not too axpensive .
  4. Nice compact setup but cab must be very tight for a swivel seat
  5. Also ‘The clash of the Robinia’ just doesn’t sound right ?
  6. I find the old flat file guide better with file that small. the stihl type is good with bigger files but smaller file will flex and become giddy once guide wears a bit. hope that makes sense

    Jokes???

  8. Cathcarts Enniskillen are very good for old stihl parts
  9. My terms are 14 days but most either pay inside 30 or 30 days from end of month invoice received. we always send a statement after 30days and call them if they haven’t paid 2 weeks later. often wealthy people who are in business themselves will pay their bills as suits their business cash flow.
  10. How long is it overdue?
  11. No st the moment but that may well change within 5 to ten years. i think you need more options than just yes or no

    Jordan

    Like kicking a sausage down OConnell Street
  13. Sounds more like rollers not getting enough hydraulic pressure , maybe valve controlling forward/reverse not functioning properly .
  14. No , more like a mini spade fuse. i think dark brown color far as I can remember
  15. My mechanic always checks tow socket first then hazard switch, he says indicators controlled via . therer normally a scrapped transit to swop stuff from
  16. A diode is like a non return valve for current i think it’s in the box out front but could be wrong. looks like a small fuse. would check but van is 20 miles away
  17. Re: indicators. mine have given bother a few times. had to replace hazard switch once or twice. last time they acted up with one side coming on by itself, turned out to be a diode. Took a lot of trial and error to find. Q
  18. Handy! Takes me about an hour. I read that botex were doing one but forgot to enquire at APF. Thanks
  19. Is that a quick attach adapter thingy between rotator and grab?
  20. Clever and productive I’d say
  21. Safer (and faster)to use proper injection tool. fella I know almost got round up in his eyes when needle broke
  22. Agreed!!
  23. I think this was asked on forum before so maybe worth a search . i once used a screw from a domestic electric plug Same size and. Thread just not countersunk
  24. I bought a used Camon badged version of Rayco RG 13 about fourteen years ago .it has done every sort of stump for me . it cost around €1500 at the time and is probably still worth €1000. Well worth buying something built to last

    Husky 266se

    When I started cutting in the forests in 1987 the 266XP was the saw the main price work cutters used. Most lads would start off with a Husky 61 The forestry men (state forestry before it became Coillte Teoranta) used mostly 266SE or some had 162SE. i don’t know what the difference was between the SE and XP, I never seen an SE on display in any of the saw dealers of the time, just XP. would still be a good saw for ringing firewood
