often wondered , could 3 ton hitachi drive cone splitter ?
-
very good point. i notice that ,in ireland anyway, a lot of young lads have gone straight from cs30 ,31 to 38 39 with little or no experience of chainsaw work whereas us fossils spent years sawing in the woods before getting into climbing
-
yes. found it very interesting
-
i used to 1 hand quite a bit and it does take its tole on ones joints. as an employer i have to practice what i preach in front of my climbers. cutting 2 handed is so much easier on the body. i see lots of different crews working and the amount of reckless 1 hand cutting,cutting and holding, and cutting with just one attachment is quite disturbing.

oil may have gone up into cylinders. you may need to remove the injectors to and turn the flywheel manually to clear cyinders. you will know if it has seized if you cart turn flywheel. fingers crossed !
-
hi rowan. you can feed splitter through tractor spool by tying lever in position (some valves have levers that can hold on by themselves) the oil will stay cooler if you run the return from the splitter directly to the oil resevoir/back end

i always find few calls and few quotes accepted this early in year. usually picks up when days begin to get longer.your right not to drop prices .very easy to drop prices , next to impossible to get them back up again

we almost always do storm damage at our hourly or day rates . we give the client estimated max cost allowing for setting up boarding etc + cutting down in tiny sections . i dont beleive in making a killing out of somebodys misfortune but its usually the clients poor planning or neglect of or damage to his trees that has caused the situation. i find it usually ends up costing less, customer is happy at not being fleeced= lots of referals + repeat jobs
-
we look for 300e per man 100 for chipper or 200 pto 10inch grab fed 100 mewp . usually end up supplying 3rd man at cost. used to get 10-15% more 2 years ago. now there are gangs on 500 for 2men & chipper and every town surrounded by cowboy\window cleaners\tree toppers
