Getting restless sitting about central Scotland

Anyone around Glasgow interested in woodchip from mainly ash and birch from a thinnings site

Iv moved on from sthil now gave the last 261 away last week put new clutch kit on it for a friend to use for personal firewood the rest of them have been striped for parts the only problem I've had with the 562xp is one needing a new carb it's got a bit over 500 hours on it

I have scrapped six ms261 in the last three years had enough of sthil their attitude was to offer me a fifty pound reduction on a new saw in part exchange went back to husqvarna had two 562xp saws replaced with 562xp saws when mine could not be sorted under warranty so now have 12 husqvarna chainsaws down to two sthils left

Can anyone share their experiences working with alpine tractors in a forestry setting? 
 
There is a fairly large woodland locally with an abundant stock of decent hardwood in it and I am fairly sure that if I offer to thin it for free (ie, in return for the timber) that they will bite my hand off. Access is poor and the extraction route is long. With my little forwarder, an alpine tractor skidding and a cutter felling, you'd be lucky to do 20 tonnes a day.
 
The woodland in question has a good access track right through it, but it slopes quite steeply up from that, and then falls away at the bottom. I had through that a reasonably meaty alpine tractor with a skidding grapple (with a rotator) would work quite well to skid the stems down to the track, where they could be cut to length ready for forwarding. Division of labour would be cutter fells and sneds out, tractor operator skids out and cuts to length and I forward out. 
 
What really appeals about the little tractors is the versatility. A reasonable sized winch could be fitted when needed, and there is enough power for a branch logger if I ever get round to scratching that itch. 
 
What are your collective experiences, oh wise folk of Arbtalk ??

Do not play top trumps with bob[emoji849]

Looks legit

I recon it will need to be road regesterd as agri with road insurance and reg nu and taxed that's what I have had to do

well if he does hes just sold that  thanks mate  how come it needs parts is it not new 

Not trying to derail but where did you get your 572 from id order one now if you know sonewhere i was told late next week

what about the new husky 572 that's out next week   if you want something comparable to the 462  or the 562 is a cracking saw also if you find the weight is going to be an issue  for you 
 

Ensure you all have personal large wound dressings not just first aid kits these are a must have fisa guidelines relevant to your work so if using the machine one for that and debboging have a hand winch will help with the kit

I'm still looking for a yard got let down on one and the industrial units around here stupid money

Just took delivery of this from Riko UK needs a couple of hoses but looking forward to going out somewhere for a play with it

I've seen some plastic shafts for hi-lift, don't know if these are longer lasting? Anybody tried them?

It's the screw to take the cover off

Louden the suppler was saying he was only getting one at a time and still waiting to receive more 562xp saws as well

Picked one up last week

Looks pretty good I'm thinking along the lines of an alpine tractor setup to be more flexible in what we can do just not too sure if the investment will be worth it in Central Scotland

Another snow day

If anyone has them I'm after two and can also get two 562 as well

Any news on the release date for these yet looking to update some saws soon
