I’ve got one of these bags to carry my rigging kit. Really good bag for the money and takes a beating.

Replacement chain for echo 2511tes 10inch carving bar
tim361 replied to redwood1993's topic in Chainsaws
Are you after the stihl/panther chain or is it to fit the standard echo 1/4 carving bar? If it’s for the standard echo bar it’s .050 or 1.3mm rather than .043 or 1.1mm which is the stihl chain -
QRMS do blades for forsts. Think they’re about half the price of genuine (rotatech) blades. Not used them but I’ve never had any problems with the green teeth copies I get from them.

Try this guy. He lives near Ipswich but travels all over the country. He’s been to me a few times for services and bearing changes.

Got one about a month ago. Replaced my sequoia, Just wasn’t comfortable in it. MB harness is really comfortable but quite a big harness, really like it. Even with my sister bringing it back for me worked out quite expensive.

Plumpton College Intensive Course - good pathway in?
tim361 replied to SussexHarry's topic in Training & education
Just to throw my 2 pence worth in. Rather tan doing all the tickets in one go, get your maintenance, felling, and possibly your chipper ticket done. Should take you just over a week to do those bits maybe two. Find a good firm locally to you and either do some weekend work or take a day or two off a week and work for them then. You’ll soon decide if it’s a job you want to move forward with or not and providing the company is half decent you’ll learn a lot while you’re there. I’m 10 minutes from plumpton, probably the other side to you. I did my climbing tickets with Scott frazer. Would highly recommend him. -
I’ve got both. Both have 25” bars on them, but the 461 has been ported. Can’t really say I have a favourite. Just alternate between the two. Major difference is the 500i seems to really drink.
-
You’ll also have to make sure the saw has a 1/4” sprocket rather than the 3/8” one
-
You can get a stihl bar to fit, just have to re drill the tensioner hole. I wouldn’t get a panther bar until they’ve sorted the manufacturing out.

I use bits of gravel board off cuts fixed in an L shape with some braces in the corner. Take maybe 10 minutes to make from the off cuts pile. Lasts me a few months before I have to make a new one. Protects the wooden floor and stops the teeth chewing into the head board.

I really like these, Solidur Waterproof Jacket WWW.CHRISFORESTRY.CO.UK Lightweight waterproof Jacket PU on polyamide 2 Chest pockets with flaps Extended back Underarm ventilation Large... Cheap and seem to get a few years out of a pair. My jacket needs replacing but is 3 years old now. There’s a matching pair of trousers to go with the jacket. Chris is also a really good guy to deal with.

Get your teeth from QRMS. They sell green teeth copies for a lot less
-
I have the same with my hilux. The rear bar is removable but it’s quicker just to tip the body up a little.
-
Try Chris forestry. He sells a lot of solidur stuff which isn’t expensive
-
I have a few people who buy rings off me. If I’ve got 15 minutes at the end of the day I’ll ring up enough to fill somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 way in a similar back to yours and get £80 for it.

Anyone who runs an auger on their worky quad or similar, how do they perform and any brands you would recommend?
-
I think the price has been fairly stagnant on them for the last few years. £3k ish is around average selling price with a really good one fetching £5-6k. Unless your planning on storing it for quite a few years I’d just use it.

When I spoke to the bloke who makes them about the power loss with belts vs hydraulic’s he said it’s normally around 10-15% less. Then said it’s rare that the belts are adjusted correctly so probably less than that. From looking at the machine and it’s price point it’s aimed as a competitor to the SG40.

See above

It’s got a launch price of £23.5 then rises to £25k mid summer. Had a look at it at the Arb show and spoke to the makers. Really liked the fact that all the weight has been kept as low as possible. My B22 has less power than my previous predator but I’ve never found it to be a problem so I hope this would be the same. Also like the fact that unlike my previous predator with the exception of maintenance I’ve had to do nothing to the machine to keep it running.
-
No problem. I’ve bought a few bits from them and they’ve always been really helpful.
-
I’m in the south east and at £350 a day I think you’d struggle to fill your week. A good climber is achieving £250 a day. To me if you want to get more than that a day you’d be better off getting a truck and a chipper and doing your own jobs and make the extra on the jobs.

When I bought a new 660 from a guy on here who’s in the Far East the saw was around £7-800 and ended up paying a customs bill of around £100. It was all very easy, bill came from Fed ex. Just paid over the phone. Have a look on YouTube. There’s a few tree guys in the states running ripsaw saws and all speak very highly of them.

I’ve got a 6ft and a 10ft pair which cover pretty much everything I do. With the 3 adjustable legs you get nearly another 2ft of height if needed so the 6’s become 8’s and the 10’s can be 12’s if needed.
