Usually 5 days, Saturday fixing farming pricing ,maybe moving equipment . I try to avoid tree work on Sunday to clear head and separate one week from the next. We used to work a lot of Saturdays but I now find staff are happier and daily output is higher when everyone gets two full days away from each other at the weekend. In an ideal world I think a 4 day week would make for a better life balance and probably a longer career for a lot of tree workers.

Really enjoyed that . Thanks for posting. -
The 230 Tw would be better for bushy material than the 6 inch Forst. (wider feed rollers etc) if I was buying second hand , I’d definitely be looking for TW 230 35 horsepower diesel, or TW 280. Buying new I’d keep an open mind and get demo on Tw, forst, green mech.

Yes. You’d find it a lot better than farmi on conifers

Probably what should do alright (I’m just a bit mean) im guessing they’ll be expensive.

Thanks Mick. I think they’ve been touched up a good few times and the surfaces are all a bit rounded so it’s hard to get a decent edge. I can turn up the roller speed if I need to and I might need to grind a bit off the top roller blocks to keep the gap between the rollers the same.

Hi . Feed rollers on my 141 chipper are now quite blunt. they’ve been sharpened previously, once since I’ve owned it. I was thinking of talking both rollers to an engineering works and having about.5 mm to 1mm surface ground off each face. Has anybody tried this? I assume new rollers of this size will be expensive . Thanks

One of my oldest bli 200 batteries is doing same thing. it has done a lot of work so I think it’s knackered.

Ya see, if you change the blades you won’t have any strands to bind the load together and then you’ll have to start using a pesky tailboard. 😊

Not overloaded but seriously dodgy!

I’ve had two 330’s fail, both no more than 18 months old. thought it was my own fault by forgetting to switch off etc so never tried warranty ( idiot) have had the 500 for about 2 years now with no problem.

Got curious and had a look also. Bizarre character! Kinda like something from one of those crap reality tv shows. I don’t think his Mrs will make it onto the stihl calendar this year anyway. does he operate in the Uk or in Ireland?

Great pictures of carving, amazing skill and well done. but any photos of big toys ???

Hi. A customer we are clearing a site for asked if I would take a capstan winch in part payment. Portable winch 1000kg , Honda engine, seems like a useful tool, handy to have in the van for certain jobs. he gave me a big coil of 3 strand “polysteel’ (he called it) 12mm rope to go with it. Am I correct in thinking this type of rope might not be suitable? What would be the best type of rope for use with capstan? Thanks.

The standard spikes on 550/560 are a bit too short. adding slightly bigger plus the outer ones makes felling and chogging a lot easier and makes better use of power.

I have fallen out with a couple of Fuelcard outfits over the years. When you are too busy to keep an eye on prices they will sneak your price up until you call them to order. A friend of mine used to work for a Fuelcard company and told me that that’s pretty much how they operate and you have to complain on a regular basis to get the best price.

My mewp is a pretty old Oil &Steel 1812. company I bought it off seem to be running more CTE lately , any the fitters I’ve been talking to say there are less problems with CTE

I stretch every morning on way to work. I usually stop half way there and get a coffee, do a few stretches while it’s filling to loosen up lower back. seems to help
