Thanks. Yes , I thought trucks were good value. Both unused, only 400 miles on mine when I collected it. seller is a very genuine guy with other businesses . Choppers haven’t even had a branch through them.

Large construction and utility companies will have limits and perametres for pretty much everything, as calculated by whichever relevant engineers, especially lifting operations and working at heights. If an accident happens and the crap hits the fan, people’s opinions on how windy it was will just be hearsay in court . Only a written recording will carry any credibility. having said that, I no longer have one. got one at the APF years ago for £30

Sorry for derail. There’s a tr8 and a tr6 on donedeal at the moment (Along with an Isuzu Arb truck) both unused . totally genuine, we bought the other truck

Tw230 is much better at pulling in bushy stuff than tw190 or any of the 6 inch alternatives
-
I made one once in my forestry days. Worked fine but quite heavy. Proper one is made of higher quality steel, very strong for it’s weight . nowadays can earn the £42 quicker doing trees and buy the proper tools

Masons have a trailer 6 inch sheisling pto chipper with only 50 hours done. more money but top quality and less stress on a small tractor

Shhhh !

Aren’t STHIL the Chinese fakes that the travelers sell? i prefer husqvarna t540 myself or stihl 201.?
-
Iffy limit switch on one leg maybe? or poor connection, corrosion etc?
-
Keep it going! the spelling is most entertaining ?
-
Yes. Did it with a transit once. worked well but some petrol fumes in cab. . Need to have a good seal between storage and front and separate ventilation. maybe store petrol etc in side box

Nice part of the world, I bought a log splitter out your way I think.. niall in proarc, cornamona. I'm over near the Galway roscommon border, east of tuam. Same village. Good splitters.those.

S o c, Are you near me? West of Ireland? Think I saw work you did in Ashford castle on here.. Hi Connor. I’m west of Cong

Have also been keeping an eye out for pto chipper similar budget, 9 or 10 inch. We could sometimes use an extra chipper and have a second tractor that’s not used a lot. For that sort of money it’s probably not worth selling even if only used occasionally. Branch-logger sounds like a good idea
-
Agree you do get used to the sway. loads of options with that setup. well worth getting remote control and unspool device on winch. good luck with it.
-
Think you could have got a few spoonfuls more in green trailer ?
-
Off from actual tree work 24th to January 2 unless there’s emergency work. Lots of maintenance to do plus bits of farming etc. nice short days with no travel or hassle. I have often regretted working through Christmas when it was over, I find it good to get some time away from trees staff etc before getting stuck in to another year.

I Hate those tiny chains. Got husky polesaw. Use it from basket a lot and very happy with it. will definitely get husky top hander next time I’m flush and eventually ground saw for beside chipper
-
?Thanks. It’s 54 mm. i got teenager to order. its a friends saw , he’s adamant he wants to continue to use ( rather him than me )

Turns out cylinder can be cleaned up. where can I buy piston?
-
Sounds like a good find.
-
Major were importers of LASKI woodchippers and Stumpgrinders for west and maybe all of Ireland. they had a Stumpgrinder as you describe on display for ages in their agri-factors store at their factory in Mayo. Would have bought it if I had money and big grinding job at same time. Was at good price at the time, maybe 9 or ten years ago. I’m pretty sure Greenmech used to sell same machines in their own nAme at the time

Is it worth the risk of falling out with with neighbors ? sure you are in the right but the stories that get around are never accurate. you could end up being branded as putting in reports because you didn’t get jobs. Your other neighbors could get wrong impression. it would be different if not so close to home.
-
Mechanic hasn’t phoned so I think that means cylinder knackered

Tractor spot lights / work lights.... go for LED??
s o c replied to swinny's topic in Large equipment
