Marsh Monkey replied to Commando's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I'd steer clear of the new huskies we've had no end of trouble with them and of the 8 machines I know of only 1 is still in good working order after 3 years of moderate use The stihls we have seem better but one of them has yoyoed back to the dealer too -

i think a lot of the cause has been the state of the last few jobs we've been on; wetland and i do mean wet, job spec is for super low stumps so it been wet peat cutting with bio oil a winning combo for any saw

-
my saw has been playing up for a couple of days and I was out cutting today and it just stopped dead after being really sulky. I took the exhaust off and noticed the piston was lightly scored, is this terminal or can it be honed and made good?

Hi guys my brush cutter has developed an annoying wobble to the engine I've tracked it down to being a loose clutch housing. But the bolts aren't loose I've tried the old favorite of taking off cleaning and putting back on but still loose. It went in under warranty for the same issue but I'm unsure of how it was sorted out any ideas

I'm thinking about building another trailer for my fun bog forwarding jobs, we're usually working on floating mats...it's really fun... but what tyres to use? i'm realistically going to be shifting 2t at most at a go or everything sinks any ideas for tyres to use or sizes, my current trailers run on quad tyres they work but they do pop off the rims quite often when we hit the hard ground and realise we've overloaded the trailer thanks

I cut reed and sedge with a grillo gf4 great machine had it 10 years abused it loads and keeps coming back for more, or if you want a work out get one of these it'll save you about £2900 and you'll look like a greek god by the end of the season

Off to the shops monday it is then...

The cutter is less than 2 years old hasn't been used hard for about 8 months. I've been using a metal triblade which looks in pretty good nick. Was using it for 6 hrs each day which I have done before with no ill effects. Was cutting tall reeds so was on full bore thru each sweep with a slight throttle off at end of each h sweep. I'm mainly concerned as I've just got a contract to do a month of cutting don't really wanna ruin my nerves... guess I'll have to bite the bullet and get it vib tested

Hi Guys, i've got a 545rxt have been cutting for the last 2 days with it and i can't feel the end of my trigger finger, i'm assuming something is wrong with my av system. I've checked all the mounts and can't see anything broken or obviously worn, but my fingers reckon there is any ideas...

Roundup as a stump treatment
Marsh Monkey replied to Marsh Monkey's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
dammit knew it had to be too good to be true, spray bottles at dawn then -
i'm probably opening a can of worms here i have to use round up a lot to control scrub on nature reserves, i was readin the tech data sheet for it and it mentions an enso attachment for a rotary saw, i've spent the last month killing alder saplings with a clearing saw and a spray bottle, i'm seriously bored of it... is this Enso attchment something that anyone on here has used or heard of i've tried google and found nothing...
