  1. In this situation (if the trees are to be retained and have not been too seriously damaged) we usually do something along the lines of remove crushed concrete and membrane, decompact soil 1.5 times RPA, mulch decompacted area using mulch/compost and biochar, heavily water.

    Obviously any work need to be approved by the LPA 

    If your friend wants more information etc then they can drop me an email [email protected]

  2. It really depends what you are after in terms of parts. Most stuff is available through riko, but any dealer branded parts that come from italy are pretty expensive. The other issue is that the carraro factory in italy pretty much closes down for a month over the summer and you cant get parts during this time. Our trouble is they can't supply the correct ring and pinion for ours, hence needing to find a breaker/burned out one, or failing that just the gearbox. 

  3. Just wondering if people are paying for 1st and second thinning at the moment of are charging the owner? Looked at some corsican and spruce the other day but the figures don't quite seem to add up, looks like it will cost the client £2 per ton to cut and extract (with me retaining the timber). Just waned an Idea as don't want to waste my time tendering if im not on the money with it

  5. Im doing some work on a friends Valmet 6800 and could do with a wiring diagram/any info on the electrical side of the 3point linkage solenoids. it looks like the wires run straight from the switch to the coils but I would have thought there should be a relay in there somewhere, any ideas? 

    Thanks 

  6. Few shots of this weeks two projects before tractor goes back on site next week. New roller built from 140mm tube, with 50mm solid bar through the centre. Disks are 10mm laser cut. Roller is just under 2.8m long.

    Second is some light(ish) belly guarding for the tractor. 6mm plate bolted to the chassis with 6 mounts. Once finished it will have a bolt on tank guard and integrated lower step.

  7. I have been let down by my usual buyer so I have 4 pieces of Oak for sale, all suitable for carving. All are about 4m long, I would estimate the larger pieces are around 2.5t each, the smaller pieces being around 500kg. They will be next to a road with good access for artics etc. I can arrange delivery on an 8wheeler with a hiab. 

    Please call or message me for more info Thanks David 07896036437

  8. We are looking for a full time tractor and machine driver. Based near to Pease Pottage, West Sussex. 

    You will need to be experienced driving tractors, preferably in a forestry setting. 

    Ideally you will be experienced in timber forwarding and using a forestry mower/mulcher however basic machine operating skills and a good attitude are more important 

    Please contact for more info

    Thank you
