Got some gear to sell but ebay 10% selling fee is too much so looking at Craigslist or gumtree (owned by ebay though) as both are cheaper. Anyone tried alternatives to ebay? Thanks in advance.

Don't forget cant hook, hammer and wedges, sometimes it feels like setting off on polar expedition!

Our 560's are fastest saw ever cut with but they can guzzle fuel, particularly if something like felling for processor where there's no stacking. I googled tank size out of interest - 0.65l Agree that £120 should be absolute minimum
-
Maybe one of them can get me 562 filter and cover without having to get it shipped from USA
-
Thanks Eddy, I'll have look on ebay.
-
Brookie, where did you get hitop cover and filter from? I'd like to try this on my 560
-
Thank you for all your donations so far

Timely reminder thanks - just ordered mine -
1210 looks good, despite being bit dwarfed! Osa is going well (touch wood) and so far all the basics seem sound enough so going to tidy up electrics and hoses a bit plus fit new tyres. Crane wiring is first port of call. The spares machine has better headboard so might swap that over too

Ok thanks. I think pic is drive roller from harvester head.

Nice pics, good to see woodland coming back under management. What's the 4wd forwarder, a john Deere?
-
And probably bulk buy discount too. Wonder how much haulage up to Scotland would be!
-
At £25 for a bulk bag that's cheaper than buying in roundwood then converting Jon

Stockpile it Jon!

Try Dr Stuart's Valerian tea, think it's available at Waitrose and Holland & Barrett. I found it worked well when I had period of insomnia

Slightly off topic but firewood price related, 8 ton bags for £200, if local to me I'd be interested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Logs-Wood-Timber-Wood-Burner-Firewood-8x-Ton-Bags-200-/361168878155?pt=UK_HG_FireplacesMantelpieces_RL&hash=item541757ba4b

Ok thanks, will do

Ok thanks. How's your 1210 doing these days?
-
Loads of different pics put up regularly, not just forestry machines - mega saw/bar combo up just now.

Bump re levers

That's what beats the circulars, you can't saw 14"/350mm without going up quite a bit in budget. 11" and below they can motor through the cut with less maintenance but losing bulk per action as smaller timber.
-
link up with timber haulier to see if opportunity to run in tandem with him. You'll need pins but he'll have the contracts and will load you also Edit: I don't know the haulage contractors down there but chances are Euroforest, Tilhill, FC (or whatever called in Wales) can point you in right direction. When speaking to these people it's the harvesting dept you want to speak with. And always remember - Google is your friend! Edit 2: you need to know how to handle your lorry and have right attitude when going into the woods, if you can't turn in tight spaces and know how to avoid getting stuck on poor quality roads then chances are it's not for you.

What is optimum size for a tafjun?
-
You're right in both have their place. Circular is quicker cut, less sawdust and easier to maintain - only need to touch it when swapping for sharper blade every couple of months. Bar/chain is slower, more sawdust, needs oil and tensioned occasionally plus sharpened more often. But bar machines can do far bigger timber for similar budget. If I was going to keep doing firewood I'd look for 40 to 50cm bar machine (like hakki's) to see how they compare volume wise against 30cm tct.

I have 365 and 560xpg. For what the OP is looking for then 365 would be better
