  1. My brother wears Corfra work boots, they are a soft boot out of the box, and he finds them last well on civil engineering work. I have a pair of LOWA boots I wear for going out and they must be 15 years plus old, lovely pair of boots. LOWA make a lot of boots for different uses but mot forestry.
  2. Get rid of it and replant will something else to fill gap. I had a customer with a row of Thuja that did the same, topped them and with in 2 months I was back there to fell them.
  3. Talking to a lad that works for a large civil engineering company, they have the same problem with boots. He bought same boots for years and then they were crap. Must be a chemical that has been band they were using to stabilise sole and have switched to something else that's not any good.
  4. Can never work out when we can't buy parts or machine direct from them they haven't got a dealer near to them in Stowmarket.
  5. I liked how they gave battery saw sound effects of a petrol one. Didn't pond go from £9000 to £7000 and then cost £10,000.
  6. Thanks, got crank mark, but cam pulleys just have hole you put pins in but can't find holes on crankcase. Have looked it up since post and found a bit more out, number on pulley has to be at top and holes horizontal, will use a couple of drill bits to see if the lock in some way. Valve are non interference
  7. All hire company I deal with will do day hire. Have you rang them or just going on Internet.
  8. Got a timing belt gone on a Kohler triad engine anyone know how you set cams on this engine.
  9. Got a bit of time to day to iook at it again,so I found. It would run at full revs assembled back together, popped rocker cover off and tappets were out of setting reset them. Tried it again no luck, so while it was running popped breather pipe from rocker cover to airbox off and smoke like a coal fire, and engine ran better and ran flat out with no spluttering. So I am thinking rings gone.
  10. Which company did you get it off,
  11. Small loaders like you are talking about plus avant, Tobroco are rear heavy so that is why you should load backwards. Tracked chipper is more balanced then any loader.
  12. Much easier forward, walking up with a foot on each ramp behind the machine as doobin says Not the way to load, as said weight is above you and if something goes wrong your under it.
  13. It lacks compression, and is running rich as plug gets carbed up, and just will not run flat out. When it's running you can get it to run better by shutting fuel supply down. Have cleaned carb and checked needle valve. Will try and leak down test it and see were air comes from.
  14. Having problems with Honda gx390 on Camon grinder, it's looking like a may need new engine. So do I go for honda or stick a Lincoln on it at half the price.
  15. I would just put winch rope up it as high as possible pull it back upright and then fell if there's room too.
  16. Let's hope two ducks don't land on it.
  17. No not as prussic, I meant webbing slings and just join together with shackles to make them long. How big is the winch being fitted..
  18. Two options I use, 20mm polysteel rope and just adjust with bowling knot, or 4m slings to reach and just hook on to next one once pulled in one length to keep max pulling capacity of winch.
  19. How much less then 30m3 @ year. At 5m3 a quarter takes you to 20m3 and no felling licence.
  20. Everything with engine do, wrap pie, pasty in foil and place in good place in engine bay early enough in morning and lunch is ready.
  21. The answer to your question is in the manual to what hp pto and revs....
  22. Sell it as cord would be best. Don't know if you could sell bags through a donation to get around ready to burn, with a minimum donation.
  23. Stay clear of tool less adjustment, Stihl never got it right.
  24. Not fitted snow plough to get to wood.
  25. Got to be 130 with top bar only on infeed hopper. Thanks, no rush.
