  1. Nice! The little chipper doesn’t look too happy
  2. Fair enough . Thanks
  3. I had one of those trailers til some scumbag stole it. Used to toe with ball on blade of mini digger and use bucket or grab if fitted to tip. Never bothered with the hoist thingy. worked well on a few jobs. tyres aren’t too good. When you take a tight turn with a good load on, chances are tyre would pop off rim. Had to put tubes in to solve.
  4. Sorry for derail. Hi Connor. Do you have a farmi 260? ive never seen one working.
  5. Great tool. I tried an Italian Arvipo one. worked great until west of Ireland dampness took its toll
  6. There’s one on mascus this week. Fuelwood in Warwick I think
  7. Might be worth contacting the Coillte (Irish forestry board) training center in Mountrath, Ireland. some of their older instructors might know of contractors with discarded machines or there may be some of their fitters with knowledge Re part origins
  8. We have 572 for a few weeks and like it. 372 is a great saw but 572 feels like it has more torque.
  9. I’d say there are bound to be a few timbermasters parked up both UK and Ireland. might be worth placing want ad in Forest Machine Journal or some of the Facebook groups, and Arbtrader on here. small scale skyline work is rarely viable over here as rates and timber value are relatively low, and it’s very hard.work. Have to say have found A&B good to deal with. best of luck
  10. Thanks mike. these are both pto machines. i though the 340 succeeded the 328 but I’m seeing 2015 328 on mascus.
  11. Any body know what’s the difference between a Jensen 340 and 328 ? Thanks

    bamboo

    I’ve never chipped much bamboo but chipped misccanthus for a day once and blades were totally blunt after
  13. They seem good value so long as they are not rusty underneath. Maybe factor in £1.5 to £2k for faults repairs etc , just in case. Very handy work vehicle

    The BIG C .

    Sorry to hear.
  15. White top cover ?
  16. I think there was a good thread about forestry winches a few months ago. krpan would be a good winch with that size of tractor. I wouldn’t go back to manual. Worth going for remote control
  17. Love those programs. There was a whole series of them on different crafts and trades. late 70s I’d say
  18. ?silky is always on
  19. Yes ,run down is faster and they don’t seem to kick back as badly but I think what’s dangerous practice with a fast chainsaw is also dangerous with a slow one. I think it’s like the old Probability versus Severity matrix
  20. I find the the lack of noise makes me subconsciously not think of it as a chainsaw so I’m tempted to do cuts I should be doing with the silky. i expect there to be more “cutting and holding “ accidents because of this and that they are so well balanced for one handed used
  21. Agreed! We have the husqvarna. Great for pruning thinning etc and nice not having to pull to start is nice. once you go into 4 inch or bigger, gets too slow.
  22. Haven’t had Isuzu long but I think better on fuel. Seems to be the same and drive the same well loaded as empty
  23. Transit must be close to 8k more expensive to buy new.
  24. Godfather trilogy shawshank redemption o brother where art thou pushing tin goodfellas boogie nights
  25. I think if it’s self propelled it’s classed as a train and you’d have to do a hundred courses to drive itI
