Uniforest Winches
RealEstate replied to Treadlight Forestry's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Which models have a folding guard? Is a retro fit feasible? -
Very useful, thanks!
-
<p>Chris, Yes Ty Unnos has one on his 835, and seems happy with it, cheers Ben</p>
-
<p>Chris, I took the plunge today and bought a Uniforest 35M after some more encouraging words from Ty Unnos - he would wouldn't he! Looking forward to having a go over the w/e. Thanks for your help, Ben</p>

<p>Chris,</p>
<p>I've seen a 3.2t Igland and 3.5ton Uniforest, agree the latter is a lot more beefy, and only £50 more than the Igland. So presumeably it will winch better but extra 90kg may reduce tractor's skidding ability? Do you think my Dexta with front loader ( about 1.9t) will cope with a 245kg winch? I gather that Uniforest is made by Krpan in Slovenia. Thanks for your help, Ben</p>

<p>Hi Chris, </p>
<p>Are you using the Krpan on the 28hp Landini (2840 weighing 1200kg?)? Do you have weights on the front? Thanks Ben</p>
-
<p>Hi Chris,</p>
<p>So it sounds like your enthusiasm for the Igland has wained a bit! I am attracted by its low weight, 100kg less than Uniforest 35M. Did you bend the Igland?! You say the Krpan is stronger, I see the 3.5E is 258kg. I wonder why it pulls better - lower gearing perhaps or better pulley angles? Many thanks for your help, Ben</p>

<p>Hi Matty, thanks for the v useful info. Good to know a 3tonner is a useful size. My Dexta's brakes are good, just been done. Sounds like it's worth paying the odd £100 more for a winch in good order. By remote you mean remote control? Thanks Ben.</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>How do you like you Igland 3201 winch? I'm think of getting one. Any advice appreciated. Ben</p>
-
<p>Hello, I believe you have an Igland 3t winch on your IH275. I'm thinking of putting similar (Igland 3201) on my Dexta, which is roughly comparable size/hp with your IH. Can you recommend such a combination? We have a wood witha lot of windblowns, narrow access and don't want to make a mess with big machinery. Happy for it to take a year or two to get them all out. Any advice appreciated! Thanks Ben</p>
-
<p>Hello Tom, How did you get on with the Igland 3201? I'm thinking of getting one? Is it big enough? Regards, Ben</p>

Is there a recommended length for oak / beech saw logs, say 10ft, 12ft, as long as poss, .....?
-
Which Solo do you have? They're alot cheaper than Berthouds!
-
Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anything changed in the last 6 years? How are the CPs, Berthouds and Solos holding up?

Building a logging bridge
RealEstate replied to RealEstate's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Interesting!As you say a 'Pipe Fascine' The outer pipes are connected together and the whole bundle rapped in netting. Perhaps for a log fascine, cargo straps could be put around the bundle to stop any logs escaping sideways up the banks, on either side of the stream. -
Building a logging bridge
RealEstate replied to RealEstate's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Thanks all! -
Can anyone advise on building a temporary log bridge? I need to bridge a shallow but rocky 6ft wide stream, gently sloping banks, suitable for a tractor and 5T trailer. Plenty of logs available 1 - 2ft dia and 20+ ft long. Any advice /pics appreciated. TIA

Got my Stein kit as above from FR Jones - very good service. Cleared about 400yds of phone line, worked a treat. With 3x6ft poles can reach to 20ft, if a bit wobbly. Once it's on the branch no problem sawing or pruning. Both saw and pruner (secateurs) are essential. Pruners good for 2" brush and saw whips through branches 3"-4" maybe more. One point, I managed to avoid getting the saw trapped in a partially cut branch, but imagine it could happen Since one can't do an undercut, is there a technique to ensure that doesn't happen? Overall, good kit and good advice - thanks
-
FR Jones say Steiner kit is interchangeable with Jameson. Think I'm gonna get the following Stein kit: Stein Pole kit 2 (pruner double pulley & rope, 2x6ft poles) Extra 6ft pole Saw head + 390mm blade Total £164.05 ex vat Sound sensible?
-
I need to clear some wires running through trees about 20ft up. Think I need a silky-type pole saw for the larger limbs with a rope-operated secateurs to cut the smaller stuff that's too bouncy to saw; hopefully one tool with both attachments. Any suggestions gratefully received. TIA
-
Wear and tear from rubbing branches BT (Openreach?) fix for free? Is this still the case?
-
I got a T27 screwdriver. Pipe refitted and saw now running like a champ Many thanks to all!
-
Just had a go, but my standard socket set attachment is too fat to go down the hole to the top two screws. It seems the screws are Torx T27. Do I need a Torx screw driver or slim line socket or what...? Is there a magic screw driver set that does all things Stihl? TIA
