    kelsa head on 8tonne sounds most useful to me. i used to run a tapio on a 14 ton excavator. mostly processing from a skyline and from sawmen felling on slopes. we also cut some very wet sites by felling from both sides. when we gave up skyline work, it worked really well cutting forestry roads and laying down the poles to build the road on.(some very wet deep sites). best machine ever to collect and load brash bushes etc. good at feeding chipper. we also used it on bog restoration projects,feeding small trees to chipper and windrowing sites with larger trees. also cleared large areas of gorse for a surveying company(pulled with knives). a stroke head will never be viable in mainstream timber harvesting but on niche jobs like you do and with a couple of steady sawmen could be a super addition. hope this is of some help ,i always enjoy your threads.

    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.
