That looks just the dogs b######s are you planning to make and sell them as would be interested in one just one thing to get them ce marked it would need to be operated by both hands but I would prefer the way you have it set up lets you pick up next bit while last one is splitting its self--would love a look at it across your way (ballykelly ) a couple of times a year

have you looked at the map kinlochleven is a long way (approx 3 1/2 hrs ) from Aberdeen I did a lot of the work there when it was converted from the old carbon storage shed for BA

were you watching top gear to-night by any chance!!!

DTV Shredder - Video at Firebox.com dont know how to post as a link but I just want one of these!!!!!

is that your yard between the road and the loch was passing it every day last year on way to work thats a powerfull looking logsplitter if it is

he has a lot of hilti stuff as well hilti dont sell through any dealers only direct

honda are there other makes???????????

sorry to hi-jack your thread but anyone got any idea what that but would be worth as I have 2 or 3 bits like that seems a shame fo firewood them

think you will find if useing duals on soft ground they will fill up with mud giving no traction really only suitable for not rutting good seedbeds in arable fields

cant remember who issued my ticket all those years ago we needed it to work on fc ground have not seen it for years think it was destroyed in a caravan fire 20 odd years ago all the tickets I have now for my "other" job only last 3 or5 years (cscs)

think i;m a wee bit old to be sitting tickets nowadays did have them many years ago but let them run out so have done the courses just not got the tickets now been cutting away at trees for last 40 years and really only do firewood for my-self and the estate big house oh and the odd bit of windblow -well thinking about it now hardly ever cut down anything seem to get by on windblow-dead oak and "leftover" softwood from commercial forestry always seems to be part lorry loads left nice and easy to cut up and right at roadside! forestry here is managed bi swoac and done by contractors

yep took a lot of you arbtalkers advice mixed with some good old experience ant a lot of common sense!!!!!!! thanks guys

oh well after looking at it for an hour yesterday finally tackled it to-day first attached 2 winches to the stem just at the root one attached to landrover winch and tirfor to copper beech (the tree with the swing on)just to make shure it did not go back suddenly ,then cut a gob out of underneath the stem near the root then came down from the top leaving a hinge exactly as you would if it was still standing with a couple of wedges in from the top -then removed all he small stuff from the bit of the crown throwing it out of the way so I had an escape road clear by now i was getting worried that if the root did go back it would be heavyer than the l/rover (and its not mine) took the winches off and cut bits off the limbs till the root started to go back very slowly until the hinge broke and root went down where it was nicely rest as they say was easy ps that wee squirrel was around all day

thanks for all the advice will try and take it onboard wind was nearly as bad again to-day so kept away from it for another day

top is just at head height can reach all round with saw but not sure which way to make cut the root will go back down but the butt wants to go opposite way any suggestions?

still cant get out this side its been there since last wind will have to tackle it this week -thats not my house by the way mine just the old stables round the back

woke up to this across the drive outside the house this morning nice wee job on the doorstep after xmas break

campbell plant now in fort-william 70 miles closer than inverness

russel plant (hss) ben nevis industrial estate and campbell plant hire corpach both fort-william have tracked timberwolfs for hire I can get you phone numbers if you want 0

eh!!!!

dont get anything less than 2.5 ton for landscaping you move/stop/start in short lenths and makes it a lot harder to keep level also short dipper a pain if landscaping it only comes half way in before you have to start dropping the main boom again not easy to keep things level far easyer to pull main boom and dipper in one movement ! I have a 2.5 cat and cant fault it starts even in coldest of winter and some times sitting for a few months ps think I might hold the record time for changeing a fuel filter on one of these --achieved when it stalled when useing as a "poker" at a brash fire!!!!:

doubt it there were never any there in the first place anyway says its brand new why take a new one over to an island with no trees just to sell it-not many people with interest able to go see it

I'd be a bit wary of the wallenstien wee chipper/shredder on fleabay at the moment (not shure how to put up a link ) guy has no feedback and its on the isle of Lewis --there are no trees on Lewis!!!!!!!!!!!

a lot depends on the type of ground you are working on mog/trailer not the best on wet sticky ground with a load behind it and remember if going up rides any distance you will probably have a lot of reversing to do not the easiest in narrow ride with stumps etc

Re: Farming joke of the day 1. Teaching Maths In 1970 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit? 2. Teaching Maths In 1980 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is 80% of the price. What is his profit? 3. Teaching Maths In 1990 logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is £80. How much was his profit? 4. Teaching Maths In 2000 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. 5. Teaching Maths In 2005 A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and ares nothing for the habit of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. Your assignment: Discuss how the birds and squirrels might feel as the loggers cut down their homes just for a measly profit of £20. 6. Teaching Maths In 2009 A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the felling licence. He is also fined a £100 as his chainsaw is in breach of Health and Safety legislation as it deemed too dangerous and could cut something.. He has used the chainsaw for over 20 years without incident however he does not have the correct certificate of competence and is therefore considered to be a recidivist and habitual criminal. His DNA is sampled and his details circulated throughout all government agencies. He protests and is taken to court and fined another £100 because he is such an eas target. When he is released he returns to find Gypsies have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is arrested, prosecuted for harassing an ethnic minority, imprisoned and fined a further £100. While he is in jail again the Gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell it on the black market for £100 cash. They also have a departure BBQ of squirrel and pheasant and leave behind several tonnes of rubbish and asbestos sheeting. The forester on release is warned that failure to clear the fly tipped rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offence. He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the peace and invoiced £12,000 plus VAT for safe disposal costs by a regulated government contractor. Your assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be arrested and fined before he realises that he is never going to make £20 profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and liv off the state for the rest of his life? 7. Teaching Maths In 2010 A logger doesn’t sell a lorry load of timber because he can’t get a loan to buy a new lorry because his bank has spent all his and their money on a derivative of securitised debt related to sub- prime mortgages in Alabama and lost the lot with only some government money left to pay a few million pound bonuses to their senior directors and the traders who made the biggest losses. The logger struggles to pay the £1,200 road tax on his old lorry however, as it was built in the 1970s it no longer meets the emissions regulations and he is forced to scrap it. Some Bulgarian loggers buy the lorry from the scrap merchant and put it back on the road. They undercut everyone on price for haulage and send their cash back home, while claiming unemployment for themselves and their relatives. If questioned they speak no English and it is easier to deport them at the governments expense. Following their holiday back home they return to the UK with different names and fresh girls and start again. The logger protests, is accused of being a bigoted racist and as his name is on the side of his old lorry he is forced to pay £1,500 registration fees as a gang master.. The Government borrows more money to pay more to the bankers as bonus's are not cheap. The parliamentarians feel they are missing out and claim the difference on expenses and allowances.
