  2. Bark is all intact. Just loss of foliage. trees are adjacent and down hill from a sheep dipping tank, could run off of sheep dip be a possibility?
  3. There’s a 200 an either Arbbay or Treebay groups on arsebook
  4. Thanks, I’ve often seen on pines but never noticed on spruce before
  5. My 10inch Jensen runs fine at 900rpm pto speed on a 95 horsepower Valtra or 100 horsepower Claas. might go to 950 for big material or can run as low as 750 for small. parameters on the no stress can be set at whatever rpm you want on Jensen, I don’t know about other makes
  6. Hi. anybody know what’s killing there trees, mainly Sitka spruce and some Scots pine. blueish stain inside bark.
  7. Used a makita battery blower last week , very impressed by the power of it. battery life at full power not great but would rarely need to run at full. guy who owns it has lots of makita stuff
  8. I’m not sure that there is any adjustment. our use very little oil but chain seems to get just about enough
  9. We had to leave a job 3 times last year where the landowner was not happy with terms of CPO on strip of ground for new road junction. he kept entering site despite court order. we were subby to civils contractors who give us a lot of work and are always prompt to pay. we had work nearby to go to each time we were stopped and lost very little time in reality but civils contractor insisted we got paid time for mobilising all equipment from home each time.

  12. 10 inch?
  13. They put small cable tie on gate or railing of property where they spot valuable dog. Then come back later to steal. the traveller gangs are more efficient at planning than the best utility companies
  14. They use cable ties for that over here

    Isn’t there a husky version of that ? ive got one in the shed. great little thing but oiler adjustment screw would turn up or down when running . probably a simple fix.
  20. On my machine (microbull) I could fit valve just out from hyd couplings and would be within reach. (I think)
  21. I’ve been toying with the idea of fitting a “float valve “ to allow rotator to follow when dragging long stuff.
  22. I think gearbox was weak point of DX

  24. As far as I know , Jansen are identical to Rock Machinery and their stuff is pretty good. I’ve had the Rayco RG13 for about 15 years and it has been bombproof.
  25. There are lots of quality 6inch pto chippers around but they are from £4k to £6k. I would keep your money, buy something decent on finance, get the work done in a fraction of the time ,at a fraction of the labour cost (without destroying your knuckles ) youd only be paying back £50ish a week at most. Plus it won’t have lost a lot of its value when paid off.
