That's very good but I'd call it a split level cut ?

They make a contractor 750, it's meant to be sub 750kg but we weighed a new one and it went between 810-820kg ?

Thanks, I'll give it a try

Hi all, Does anyone know what the carb setting are on a husky 254 ?

Slightly off topic but I had one of the first 540's about and i used to have problems starting it warm without giving it a bit if choke. Recently I had a problem where the brass nipple that the impulse hose goes onto came loose so had to buy a new manifold. Since fitting it, the saw no longer needs any choke unless it's been turned off for quite a while, longer than before anyhow. Thought I share my findings.

If it's a Stihl branded bar, the chains you would use on a 020 with a 14" bar have 50 drive Links, so I would think yours could be 14" already. If it's not a stihl bar, like I said your 50 drive link chains will fit a 14" one, 44 drive links on a 12".

Good question Lyn and to be honest I've haven't got an answer for you. Have you got a contact at the insurance company you could ask ?

There used to be a grounds maintenance equipment supplier called Gibbs at bedfont near heathrow, I'm sure they used to supply them.

I've always just kept hitting them in, seems to work find for me. I put 2 metal rings on the top of my hi lifts, seems to give a bit more protection to the wood.

I put mine in the log burner for about 5-10 minutes, it's enough to get rid of the wooden section but not long enough to cause any damage to the metal section.

A few more pictures, I had to take another tree down for the crane to be able to swing round and drop the timber where the customer wanted it stacked. The crane company couldn't get there untill mid week so I spent the rest of that day removing all of the material down to about 4" that would go through a chipper, so all the lifts with the crane were straight forward and stuff that was staying on site for firewood for the house owner.

Near Carmarthen in Wales, it came down on a Sunday morning and the people where in the far end of the house. A few limbs up to 10" in diameter punched down into the bedrooms.

I had to clear this last week, almost no roots on the North and Eastern side and just one large root on the south western side that snapped when it went over, so when we had some strong North Easterly's it gave up. I was surprised really as there was hardly any change in the crown, compared to other trees i know that have had Meripilus for years with a lot of crown dieback and their still standing.

I climbed some big Douglas last year to collect seed in cwmcarn, South Wales that were close to 50m. Great feeling being right at the top of them !

What about the ISA certified arborist route ?
-
From the pictures, I'm really surprised at the size of the sticks it can pick up. Like you say, if you spread that cost over the 5 years and use it as much as you can I bet it pays for itself easily.

What sort of money did the tracked loader with the log grab cost Ian ?

Could you splice the eye instead of stitching ?

I got some fruit of the loom sweats from eBay for £7 and a local place sewed in my design and name for £3 each

And another Karcher vote. I've got a 745 HDS, it's got to be nearly 15 years old and still run great.

The manufactures suggest a 0.5% loss of efficacy every year. The renewable energy centre in mid wales were having a extension built and took some of their 15 year old panels off while the building works were being carried out. They had them tested for efficacy and found that they not lost as much as the manufactures had stated and none of there's needed replacing.

The 15% - 20% was a P.A. return with up to 400% return over the 20 years
