fair play, any advice on a 30 ft dead eucalyptus tree take down? wouldnt trust it toclimb it so im thinkinof mewps
-
yeah desperate ax men is about it! this series is cruel bad though, im expecting rygaard logging to be up for an oscar or something! i can see that for your average joe working in an office or a nice safe job that it can be interesting but when your immersed in that work you see the bullshit coming, possibly as cops are bitching about csi on a forum somewhere!
-
with the love of god it wont be dramatised bull like ax men, i watch it but its brain rot, nearly like desperate housewives its so full of drama
-
im in the process of making my splitter independant, im looking at a donkey engine and pump off a readymix truck.... has anyone any other words of wisdom? valid point leave it that it can be used by the tractor as a back up

depends on wood size, strength, if you want fast turn times

-
well over here theres a lot of people at it, the better half does shift work and ive alot of free time, its more of a sideline for me than anything, what type of timber do you use? im thinking sitka spruce...
-
yeah, apart from leavin a pickup out of gear on a hill and wondering why it wound up in the ditch.... ax men is like a very very low budget action film, dont listen and just watch it for the machinery..... id say you really work for your moiney in alaska or canada
-
thanks for replys, im still trying to visualise the scooter idea! ive seen the splitter kindling maker before, it probably works grand, im thinking of something a little faster and independant... ive boughtan old cable winch, cut it to a power pack now so im going to build a kindling splitter on one side and log splitter on the other side...
-
sea doo have that as there skis give trouble with carbon build up on valves otherwise...
-
watch last season of ax men, a lad totals a brand new 660 and doesnt get sacked. lemar lake logging have to be good! plus hundreds of machines including giant yarders!
-
hi, has anyone tryed to build there own? i appreciate the automatic machines are the ideal solution, but my budget doesnt stretch to that! im thinking about building a vertical splitter with an x or maybe * head coming down to a plate for holding the logs.... thanks Dermot

ive a km130r with strimmer, blower, scrub cutter and pole pruner attachments, i use the green mix and have never had bother.... watch the mouldings around the engine when starting, i badly cut and scarred 4 fingers starting it once and another lad who used it done 2 fingers, sharp vent holes on mine!
-

-
done and done!
-

i found this website when i was looking for a winch, my question is this how did you get into the business and is everyone here qualified? i wouldnt be brazen enough to call myself any sort of arbourist or tree surgeon as i havent opened a book or gained any qualifications.. ive experience in rock climbing and gained experience with machinery. i limb, fell, plant and thin trees as a contractor... the reputable companies i contacted are happy to get people with chainsaw licences when workis there but theres not much technical stuff here... i could only do a distance course as the only college in ireland that does arb evening courses is impractical for me...
-
i think if you usethe search facility on the forums its the best way to find out as people ask similar questions all the time, including me... your looking for a very high crane there, the importer of vahva jussi is quick to quote if you ask him....
