    used to run 260, very small fuel tank. fill used to last about 35 mins in light to medium felling, husky 346 would run 10 mins longer (but has larger tank) so consumption simular

    i dont mind finance on something reliable and fit for purpose. if i need it, i need it now not next year. better a planned repayment than an unexpected breakdown and repair bill. if the interest makes the difference between a vehicle being viable or not then its not worth buying it at all.

    i,ve put my domestic crew doing forestry stuff for a couple of weeks to let a few jobs accumilate and allow me to take a holiday. brashing ahead of a harvester, felling large trees and off slopes etc. nice work but dosent pay as well as tree surgery

    i changed to plant this year and am well glad. much quicker and easier to load/unload and no mullocking skids around. also easier on jeep with lower load. only downside, a bit wide on tight corners

    we use 3ton digger for all those jobs. more outlay but a lot more versatile. only 5 feet wide and leaves tractor free for other work. they hold their value very well also.

    my dad bought a stihl on-line last year from some company in northern ireland. my local dealer(and me) didn,t really want him to get another because he,s 87(but very active). he just asked a friend to place the order and had his shiny new stihl next day.

    does anyone run a county and highland bear crane or remember what order the controls are in. i ran one for years back in the 90,s . i,ve recently set up a crane on my renault and would like to change the functions to the some order. even though it has been over 20 years since i worked the highland bear, my hands seem to be working against my brain with the new crane. ideally, i would like to fit 2lever controls but i,ve enough money spent for the time being.. thanks; sean

    we have a pair, they work fine. havent used them as often as i thought we would. ear muff a bit uncomfortable with speaker in (but could probably be set better) .my climbers dont like the wires and extra stuff to get snagged so they prefer to just use whistles and shout like they always have. had to use last week ,3 rockbreakers working nearby.
