hi mate , think i have found a guy local whos coming to have a look at doing it , thanks for all the leads guys

thanks for the number i will give them a try

Hi, we are currently working on the stiperstones removing around 100 ton on a clearance job in the gatten flush and we are running it out 400 mtrs to the nearest hard standing using a alstor minii forwarder with floatation bands . The Job will need a tractor based forwarder ( just wondering if there was anyone local ) to forward the timber 900 mtrs over the top of the stiperstones to roadside it will all be stacked in 3mtr lenghts and the track is hard standing all the way its just i could do it but it would be quicker to run a bigger unit with fewer trips , this would free my time to get on to the next project . Its a couple of days easy forwarding with stunning views ....... Also means i can keep my bands on . Give us a call if you think you can help cheers David 0781158920 or after 6.30pm 01299 400565 this job will need doing in about 4 weeks time

register for a provisional liecence with callum rafaty at ay forest and go straight to assessment

Our website is Home « Woodland Ways see what you think

I would be interested in buying if its still up for sale

how long is a piece of string. outputs depend on how the wood is presented and the terrain and how far to roadside . we tend to get the jobs where big kit can't get or make to much damage or the job don't justify haulage of the bigger machines our outputs just forwarding are between 25 to 40 tons a day . The good thing about having a smaller machine is when you are felling and forwarding , clearing as you go and also using the remote control winch to aid felling it makes it easy so you are not climbing over brash etc and everyday the site is clear so is especially good when working on foot paths or any high volume public area.

thanks that was my old Alstor petrol version which is still being used in Scotland

i fell and forward with the machine clearing as i go and also contract for extraction as well done this season just over 2000 tons , hire out the machine with operator for 350 a day plus vat .

bought the new Alstor for £53,000 but that was with all the add ons i.e bigger crane , reverse drive , extenion back , joy stick controls and double pumped . no grant funding

believe me i run a alstor 821 and it more than pays for itself and does the tonnages day in day out without compaction or need for racks or access tracks into woodlands , take a look at my website Home « Woodland Ways and look at my facebook page to see what can be achieved with small scale machinery.

i have run a Alstor now for 6yrs and wouldn't be without one , easily copes with all terrain and a light foot print . the new 821 is a dream to drive and does 25 to 40 tons a day depending on extraction distances etc i is made for the job and i have never ran out of work

That job was four and half days cutting and extracting 400 to 500 mtr haul to roadside, 150 cubic mtrs 60% ash and other hardwoods if you need some timber the owner is sellling it .

All good i drove the old one for five years with no dramas but this one is a proper contractors machine , defo more stable but the whole machine has been redesigned its a beast.

Just had my new alstor 8x8 delivered what a differance , reverse drive , new protected shafts, new bogie set up , bigger crane and 22 cat diesel engine .
