plus forestry guarding

any machine rolls if you are running across a slope its basic forwarder driver skill that you plan your routes accordingly and run slopes straight or if too drastic winch down the timber and drive out straight from the bottom . its not the machine that is flawed but the operator training . i'm 6ft 4 and operate the machine fine and the machine has passed all the standards to work on fc ground with or without the full cab . All i seem to get is people who try to dismiss the machine i use it for proper forest operations where i need to make money from road side sales and i'm still making a profit. Many people have tried to make smaller machines and i have demo'd loads of them , its simple the alstor works

I have been contracting with the Alstor 8x8 for he past three years , yes it seems expensive but when you are doing professional forestry and need the tonnage out its the right equipment for the job. I paid off my machine in 18 months and had no problems with it . As for its easy to roll it is not , it complies with all current standards and is the only mini forwarder they have assessed for fmoc. I say don't buy one if you haven't the work hire one with operator and see what it can do . There has been sites where for cost they have used quads or mini diggers for extraction and soon realize it costs more , does more damage and i get the call to clear up ...

Which small PB forwarder ?
areleywood replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I haven't found that charlie , the most my machine has been laid up in bed sick feeling sorry for herself is four days that's with parts shipped from Sweden and fitted .... i find that 90% of parts for servicing and repair can be found locally for the alstor and its darn site cheaper than running a FULL SIZE MACHINE just the filter kit for a larger machine will cover my all my services and running repairs for the year not to mention tyres etc..... don't mean to go on but i have been contracting non stop for two years with this machine and its not let the side down yet and done thousands of tons... i'm not biased i'm practical i thought long and hard before i purchased my machine and have not regretted it once . -
I hire a alstor but with operator only fully fmoc qualified on the machine, we don;t hire machine only for safety reasons.

Well, wild wood was rubbish so........
areleywood replied to normandylumberjack's topic in General chat
couldn't agree more with all the above comments it paints a poor picture for the general public with there rose tinted glasses. one tree equals : one guy to fell it ( well hang it up ) one huge tractor to winch it down one guy all day to snedd and cut it one horse logger to extract to road side ( half day) i'm putting my rates up if the general public will buy into this ha ha ha -

hi its the fmoc 1.5 8wheel articulated and 3.2 forwarder handling loader position bunk the contact at nptc is callum rafferty at aye ( google it and your find his number). Dick bradshaw is the nominated assessor it all goes through callum. i hope to have more feed back from the assessment on wed and i'll post the feed back from Dick bradshaw of the posibilities and time frame for a bespoke course for these machines .
-
hi charlie , the assessment for us is on wednesday with dick bradshaw he is assessing us on the alstor and at this point it is the original tickets for 8 wheel machines .The next day he has a meeting with nptc about the lack of fmoc for mini forwarders and hopefully will take back good feedback from nathan and me to design course more in keeping with driving this kind of base machine . Also the other guy who was asking about driving his machine at the moment , nathan does a cert for you if you have been trained this has sufficed for two years for me as long as you do the risk assessment and follow safe driving practice i have only followed the fmoc route through callum because the enviroment agency asked for the paperwork for there records .

hi there used supergreen web hosting for my web site bought my domain and the site costs around 20 quid a year unlimited uploads and easy to operate ( hate computers but managed to do it myself www,woodlandways,net) hope that helps .

hi dude , its dave from woodland ways interested in the alstor you had on your page as it is me in the photo and was confused why you was using my website picture as yours , i have a business called woodland ways doing traditional woodland crafts ,courses river bank restoration and woodland management and run a alstor 8x8 . the alstor in your photo has extendable bed on so can take 2 rows of 6's easily or 7's , joystick controls and a hydraulic remote winch. i use the machine for my own woodland management and hire it out with driver , the tonnage's which can be forwarded are surprising anyway not having a dig just wanted to know why my photo was used dave
