Linking in with this topic Pretty basic footage but illustrates some of the capabilities of a mobile and rapid winch system.

Wire rope winch on steep slopes
buffalo606 replied to Peter Simpson's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
We used one of the above portable petrol winches almost every day for 4 years (in Scotland). Pulling: trees over, logs out of rivers and up vertical embankments, trucks out of snowy ditches, hung-up multiple windblown trees off houses and out of tree canopies, land rovers out of bogs, tracked chippers out of streams, brash piles 50m to the chipper, rootplates up/down/sideways, trailers up snowy hills.... Have spent the last 2 years seriously wishing I had one... and genuinely wondering why I don't -
Yes it is and yes it does!

It seems at odds to hate feminism because of the actions of one women who has actually done more damage to the feminist cause than to advance it. There seems to be plenty of anger in the world already - maybe reserve hate for injustice?

How many hours do you put into your business?
buffalo606 replied to Stefan Palokangas's topic in General chat
I don't care how much you earn or what machines you own Stefan but I do think your enthusiasm is awesome. While there is no way I would put in those hours simply for money it makes me smile to see an eternal optimist going for it. Bonne vacance - you deserve it. -
Whats your least favourite tree to climb and why?
buffalo606 replied to RGB's topic in Climbers talk
I think more covered in dirt than poisonous - so yes infection like hawthorn, blackthorn etc - I've only climbed one in NZ -

Phoenix palm: poisonous stabbing spikes, rats, doesn't really chip, heavy. They look pretty though. -
Yup - but still not returning to a nice low idle. Not sure if the cable is sticky or there is a weak/missing return spring?
-
Just noticed this "gap" - this would indicate why the idle screw had no effect. I'm still not sure why throttle cable is not retracting fully..
-
Me Stihl BR600 idles at high revs (and cut-off switch bit temperamental) but otherwise fine - it would be nice not to have the thing spinning around every time I start it. Throttle cable and trigger unit seems okay, air filter clean, spark plug fine. Adjustment of the idle screw on the carb seems to do nothing... Any ideas?

It that 100% hawthorn or a mix? Brilliant - like a live dry stone dyke.

Cheers. What woods are classed as durable? And therefore suitable for outdoor use.

Sorry, just wondered what you mean by leaving sapwood til later? Cheers for the other tips
