I was looking at that the other day. Do you have any experience of it? Thanks 👍
-
Cheers for the pics. The shelves look great 👍 Do you have a hydraulic top link on your grab?

It’s a Goldoni euro 45 so not huge. I do like the idea of a skidding grapple but I’m thinking with large logs it just won’t have the capacity to lift one end off the deck which is part of the problem I have with the winch although it’s fairly heavy to begin with before adding a log. If it does lift one end up, the front end is in the air and being articulated steering I don’t have independent brakes so extraction is tricky. I reckon a big arch would take most if not all the weight of a big log? Agreed about faff setting it up but for decent logs it’s worth it? Love a bit of spalted Beech 👌

Hi folks, looking for peoples experiences of using either TCF or Logrite log arches, particularly the big ones. I’m thinking one for behind an Alpine tractor or Defender 90 would be handy for extracting large stems for milling. I see there was some chat previously about them but not much recently. Image from when I borrowed a Logrite jnr arch to help skid some Ash and keep it clean. Despite being way overloaded it made life a lot easier! Cheers

I posted my much loved Valtra 6550 in the classifieds last night if anyone is in the market? Gutted to see it go but there’s a genuine reason for sale. Any questions, ask away! Cheers

Hi folks, just a wee heads up! I’ve posted my Logosol M8 Mill in the Classifieds section if anyone is interested? I have a bandmill now so can’t justify keeping it. Cheers

Thanks for the replies, maybe my heart was right… I’ll need to do some head scratching about how to get some millable timber out and be very careful of Porsche in the driveway!!!

Apologies for the terrible photos!

Recently got contacted about buying this Sweet Chestnut stem and went to have a look today. I was interested as we don’t have much Sweet Chestnut in this neck of the woods… It’s 5.5m long and about 1m at the stump. There’s a few things putting me off: -looks like some shake visible which seems to go all the way up. -some staining from metal further up as well as some rot (presumably why it was felled?) -access is terrible… My head says walk away but my heart wants to slab a large, historic, local tree as there’s definitely a few nice burrs in it. I welcome your thoughts [emoji106]

I’ve got the smart cap, the one before the evo and definitely rate it. Expensive but considering they are stainless steel and not just plastic and glass, it definitely feels a lot more secure, I got the mesh grill for the rear window in mine too.

Where do you find the best place to advertise and sell milled timber is??

Might be worth having a look here: CLOUDFOREST.MARKET -
I’ve got one for a P30 that’s from Protech. It’s solid bar and only about 3 or 4ft long. The difficult part will be manufacturing the whatever type of impact resistant plastic they use on the head and making sure it doesn’t come off! Might be easier to get one direct from Protech?
-
No worries. You will be surprised how good a proper engineering place will be. Also you could maybe get some dimensions off of a new sprocket from someone on the mill owners Facebook page to help account for wear?
-
I would be surprised if there isn’t a small engineering workshop not a million miles away from you that could make you a replacement? Also with these things, for them to make a second only adds a small amount extra to the total so might as well get a spare while your at it. Good luck!

Looks like it was well worth preserving!! Nice stick[emoji106] It’s amazing what’s going on and inside a piece of timber both visually and mechanically. Are you going to do anything interesting to make sure it dries ok?
-
Got the Igland Multigrip mounted to the pallet forks recently. So far it seems a handy thing to have and a bonus that it opens to almost vertical for handling pallets without needing to unbolt it. Also quite surprised by its gripping power! Anyone else run a bolt on pallet fork grab?
-
Mike, typical for people to park in the worst place possible… Do you ever use your winch on the loader or is that just for transport? Handy either way, tempted to get a euro to 3pt adapter for mine.

Hats of to the guys at chainsaw bars for evolving the design of the skids on the panther mill and sending me some replacements out. Haven’t had a chance to put them through their paces yet but they look a better design and favour folding over welding...
-
Rob is good to deal with. It’s cool they are still refining and evolving the design.
-
I had one replaced already under warranty but I hear there is a new design out now. Should have my hands on some soon [emoji1696]
-
The dogs get left on as they fit with the skids and it means it’s one less thing to do if I need to use the 881 for things other than milling[emoji106]
-
Tempted to bend the tab out the road too, take it you don’t get any issues with the bottom skid removed?
-
I was surprised too when I first got the call. The mill is a good tool and I’m glad it’s as easy as it is to change heights especially with two power heads. The winch is awesome! The 881 in gnarly timber seems good at breaking the skids though:
