Hi J,

        Have you considered a Dodge Ram 1500? If fuel economy is an issue get one with a gas conversion.It isnt your normal pick up as iv had one as well as a Disco 4.They beat the disco hands down for comfort and a lot more.They also hold more , tow more and not an issue for Tax.

Regards 

Scott

Thanks

Thinking about milling again.Anyone know what the best mill is ? Budget 8k

Looks like top quality timber Iain and well presented at roadside!! Id snap that up if you were a bit closer.

Qualified climber required for immediate start in East Lothian.Two - Three months work.All certification required .Email Scott at [email protected]

Was gutted to see it go!!! What a 1st class machine to operate. Looking forward to viewing some pics at its new home sometime.

I'd go for a hilux 1st, Isuzu 2nd and a navara 3rd .imo .

Botex will lift 2940kg in close.

If its the type shown in scotspine1 pics then go for it . Iv got exactly the same and its about 8yo and virtually nothing has went wrong with it. If its a Bateson transporter with the smaller dumpy wheels stay clear of it. Iv had 2 and the chassis twisted on both because of clipping kerbs with they wheels where as the bigger skinnier ones seem to be able to handle it. Hope this helps

I had an L200 on a 02 plate sold it 3 years later with 88000 on the clock. It never missed a beat .If its a dealer ask him to take 10% off when he comes back with a figure meet him halfway.He will have bought it on trade for £5500. Hope this helps

Does anyone know if there are any dealers in the uk for Timberking mobile sawmills and how much the timberking 1600 hydraulic mill is?

Scott

Hi Eddie ,

I have a valtra T series with a 560 roof mounted crane. Loads of power and great handling. I would go for a T series rather than a N. This is the second valtra Iv had from wilsons and I told him the hours and spec I wanted for the tractor and he came back quickly with 2 machines that he had found. I bought a brand new botex 8t trailer to go with it and I can't speak highly enough about the job it does.

Hi folks,

What are the top 5 hardwoods to mill in the uk?

Regards

Scott

Thanks Big J,

Ideally a good second hand lt40 wood suit in both worlds!! But they dont come round to often.When u selling yours lol .

Cheers

Scott

Did they come up from down south and service it for you ? It def had the hydraulic package as I asked him to remove the log loader but asked if it still had the clamps and roller. Disappointing to hear there back up service isn't great!! Typical I had almost made my decision . Bit of a minefield trying to get the right machine .its never going to be our main focus of work but something I'd like to start and use for the decent timber we come across. I'm sure there are loads of tree surgeons in the same boat. I was looking at a Hudson 236 to start with due to there price , but no hydraulics means a lot of man handling .

Cheers

Scott

Is there a uk dealer for the LM2 ? Wouldn't it be tricky to get parts ? Only asking as I was on the phone to woodmizer today and the total price is roughly the same as an LT20 with standard hydraulics. Is the LM2 a great machine?

Cheers

Scott

Thanks for the input Big J . Is there a massive difference with production with a hydraulic machine or is there more to it than that.

Cheers Scott

Great work!! Fantastic benches!!

Scott

Yeah it's there own design , had no feedback so I'm a bit wary .

Thanks

Scott

Jas p wilsons in Dalbeatie will do a 350 brand new for that with the feeder, was down in October and watched it go , great piece of kit if your serious about firewood.also the hydraulic holding log arm is excellent for twisted poor shape logs

Cheers scott

Hi folks,

Anyone got any info on the Hudson Oscar range.Iv narrowed it down to a wm lt15,Oscar 230 & Oscar 236 unless there is anything else worth a mention?

Cheers Scott.

Does anyone have any feedback on a LMS 820 mobile sawmill?i think M Large produce and sell them. If not which mill would you advice getting as a 1st purchase?

Thanks Scott

Nice work !! Enjoyed watching the footage almost as much as knowing theres one less Poplar around.My least favourite tree to work on .

Take it it easy.
