I sure am Mr wicklamulla ?. Shame we don't have the space over here for massive chippers like that, I get plenty people moaning about how much wood I chip with the old safetrack! They would have a fit if I turned up with ax 19 and proceeded to chip there whole tree in one go ???
-
I would suggest you go watch some afleetcommand videos on youtube, he has loads of detailed videos on rebuilding saws. He knows his stuff ?
-
Vermeer ax 19 ????
-
The big tp chippers are worth a look.
-
I'd agree, very capable machine but it is only 7.5 X 11 inch
-
Not for any type of wood cutting ???
-
Anyone tried the arbortec waterproof smock?
-
Is that self employed? Seems fair pay to me. I've heard others in north east Scotland struggle to get guys and put it down to most young folk chasing bigger money off shore, not sure if that's right or not.

That's how diseased trees should be dealt with, the UK could learn a thing or two. ?

Background to the HSE decision on two rope working
jmac replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Training & education
When I was at sse all employees used 2 ropes plus a strop, or 1 rope and 2 strops. 2 ropes were handy for big hardwoods and big branch walks where you could take a big swing but I found it a total pain in the arse most of the time and defiantly slower! And still doesn't stop idiots tying into epi regrowth. -

Sse have been using 2 ropes for about 10 years now! Knee jerk reaction to some twat falling ten ft out a tree after tying into a bit of epi regrowth! -
He should have just put a cummins 6bt in it, you can pick them up for 500 quid! ?
-
It was quite a tidy one too was it not? What a waste!
-
Seen this in oban the other day, must be worth a few quid?
-
What a waste of a nice wee mog! ???
-
That's a proper west coast load! ??
-
If that was here it would have been rusted solid!

Yeah think you have hit the nail on the head spud. I think the FC had a lot to do with husky being popular here, all their cutters in this area had husky saws so most of the contract cutters followed suit.
-
Yeah I'm a big fan of him too, he will fix anything and runs loads of old scrap like me ?
-
Is 550 husky not the alternative to the 261?
-
If it were me I'd go for 462
-
I think it also depends where you are in the country spud, up here on the west coast of Scotland it's prob more like 30:1 husky to stihl because most wood cutters use husky here. Imo both stihl and husky have gone downhill with reliability! Hard to beat a 461 stihl, had mine 3 years full time forestry use and only replaced oil pump and starter cord ?

Thanks @ForestryFinance. I have used both chippers so don't need a demo, both good chippers but I couldn't go back down to a 6inch chipper ?. Do you know the price of a safetrack 1928? Cheers.

Anyone know how much a tr8 is?
-
Old Massey tractors are so hardy! Seen this old 35 while on holiday on tiree, looked rough but still fired up no bother ?.
