  1. No. Contact bus opperater had a conifer to do some time ago customer said it was not a busy stop so I decided to do them between buses. Turned out one every 5 mins but best of all bus opperater inspector lived next door to job only found out when he came home and stood talking to him and he kept raising his hand to bus drivers them found out what he did but he said he was off duty so all well.
  2. Used oil & steel octapussy before what I like is the speed the move about your not standing around waiting to get near to the branch you what to cut off.
  3. Its probably your using wrong rope combo, tried a Knut the other day would not grip and work with Marlow but then tried Teufelberger gripped and worked as it should so keep at you will find whats best.
  4. Get customer to start it and use it in front of you may find out what the problem is.
  5. Bought a Auger Torque borer 5 years ago 1 of the best bits of kit I have bought. A mate used it the other week on his tractor came back and said that's some piece of kit.
  6. BH had given up on getting a reply. That's what I thought but in forestry I would not risk it would you.
  7. There are a lot of picture's on here of tractors being used for work not play without roll over protection how is this posible with HSE stricked guide lines?.
  8. Just read your other post, as it is a clear fell job a farwarded hired in or get you own timber trailer is the best bet. Skidding timber is time consuming with chains/winch tongs on back of tractor are quicker if just line thinning.
  9. Homelite XLTI chainsaw top handle | eBay Here you go complete saw
  10. From my memory you have the oil cap as they were black and the fuel cap were red. Will have a look around my sheds to see if one is still kicking around.
  11. That's what I mean. But why buy a 395 if you can put a 36" bar on a 576 ???
  12. Big dead Horse chestnuts may be hollow so no need to buy a bigger saw. Can't he just fit a longer bar with skip chain fitted to his 576.
  13. One hell of a tail swing on it I bet.
  14. Debark with axe where felling. The bat willow fellers do it were trees are on flood plan near me to save a lot of sharpening.
  15. Years ago a cabinet makers in Ipswich wanted all they could get there hands on right down to 3 inch limbs was used in inlay on there tables I think.
  16. Have used cooper pegler cp15 for creosote work well with small fan nozzle.
  17. Poplar stumps, groove around top just inside cambium with chain saw plunge cut a bit deeper in places and then fill groove with SBK cover with plastic or thin slice of stump cut before grooving keeps weather and pets off.
  18. Anderson plug and long leads on land rover starts every thing when needed. So LAND ROVER best starter pack
  19. Farma 4.6 on a Fendt 304 about the same size as Ford 4000. I had to change lower mounting point to get it to go over cab. Use it 3pl mounted and on the front of trailer when I finish building it. Have used a old 3 ton trailer picture 1
  20. John Deere motto Run like a deer didn't run fast enough that time.
  21. You say its a bit wollowy do you mean it sways and leans on cornering. Looking at the pictures of truck body is mounted to high which is a problem with a lot of LR tippers. Good shocks as well as springs anti-rollbar will help.
  22. Great stuff nothing like a bit of control felling:thumbup1: All that kit and they still got a bloke with a hand held rake.
