Anyone use an AGT 835 for skidding? or Forwarding
Ty Unnos replied to Tommy O's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I have an AGT835 and have been using it to skid 60 year old beech out of a woodland. I was using a simple frame attached to the 3 point and was pulling them out one at a time but I was amazed at what it would pull. I did try hooking it up to an Igland 3601 winch I picked up but the geometry was not great as it sat too close in to the tractor for the PTO shaft. I have since invested in a Uniforest 3.5 winch as it has an offset PTO meaning more room for the shaft. Drop me a PM if you like and I will try and answer any questions. -

An alternative would be to treat as coppice and cut them on a cycle. -

I also have 280wes and would be interested to know if you manage to get any more out of it. Mine also seems a bit slow to pick up and rev out. The best thing I have found for it was to swap to a 10" bar as it is much more nippy.

This is what that seller has sold previously: eBay Feedback profile for morley109 Does not exactly scream forestry to me! I suspect it is a hacked account.

This is forestry but presume the guidance is the same for Arb? http://www.ukfisa.com/assets/files/safetyLibrary/FISA%20804%20-%20Electricity.pdf

The dolmar / makita 6400 7300 and 7900 all share the same chassis so you should be able to put a makita / dolmar 7900 pot and piston on your 6400.... Or you can get this which will give you 84cc Nwp Big Bore Piston & Cylinder Assembly (54Mm) For Dolmar 7900, Makita 6401, Solo 681 Chainsaws | NWP | Pistons, Cylinder & Ring Kits | www.baileysonline.com

I can see both sides to this - dealer and consumer. But what about the manufactures? It seems to me they are manipulating the market massively by offering dealers saws for different prices in different countries and then not offering the dealers any support as internet sales erode businesses built up over decades. Surely they could do more to support the dealers and offer a better deal to consumers?

I have one. It is super light but does lack power. I was a bit disappointed at first but swapped to a 10" bar and now find it pretty nippy. I think it comes with a 2 year commercial warranty as well.

A mill set up for beginners - suggestions pls.
Ty Unnos replied to campanula's topic in Milling Forum
We are in a similar situation. We don’t have a big enough saw to run a big mill. Our saw is a Makita 6401 so 64cc. We went for the 'small log mill' and 'mini mill'. As the small log mill only clamps on one side you get more cut so with a 20" bar you get an 18" cut. alaskan mill I home of the portable chainsaw mill By the time you have taken the sides off with your mini mill you will be just right for planking with the small log mill. -

I have an 800kg ACE tirfor clone which gets used almost everyday. It is light enough that it can be carried into most woodland sites. But I also have a 1600kg tirfor that sits in the van 'just in case'. If you get the 800kg winch get one of these to go with it: 3" 2 Ton Lightweight Heavy Duty Snatch Block Swivel Hook - Lifting Pulley | eBay Can be used to double the pulling power so allows the little winch to haul bigger timber.

I dont know why - but it is! I recently imported a piece of machinery from Germany and it was totally painless and about half the price of the UK. I suspect we are just paying too much as there is not enough competiton - but as it gets easier to import machines direct from Europe and cut out the 'middle man' prices will start to come down. What are you thinking of importing?

Regarding VAT I dont think you pay the Swedish rate. If you are VAT registered they should sell to you without VAT but then you pay (and reclaim) the UK VAT rate on your VAT return. But I have never done this so not 100% sure! Info here: VAT between the UK and Sweden
