    I may have come to a good compromise. I've just bought a harken 35 2 speed self tailing winch and I intend to use it with a drill adapter in this configuration. Should serve it's purpose at a fraction of the cost of a petrol capstan winch

    What's the hold like on the brake on the eder? It looks similar to the docma capstan winch only the dogma is a little cheaper

    I can understand not fitting dynema as it would crush the drum and I'll certainly keep it in mind. Have you any pics you can send?

    I've got one of these and as good as it is, it'll just take too long to haul the stuff out with it. It's a few days of pollarding large willows I've got to do with a lot of material to remove. I see what you're saying 're the cost and I considered this last time when I got the endless hope winch but as I say, there's just too much material to to be doing it by hand and still be efficient
  5. Coletti
    That has been a consideration but I can think of a lot of jobs where a winch on the truck would be less than useless due to access issues whereas the portable winch can obviously be taken anywhere
  6. Coletti
    The only issue I can see with that is the constant back and forth with the truck while pulling the stuff out, I can get the truck close but there isn't much room to manoeuvre and pull with the truck. It would mean lots of back and forth and tying on/unitying which wouldn't really be cost effective on time

    Just winching stuff out. I've a couple of jobs coming up pollarding willows in the bottom of a beck down a steep bank and want to use it for this sort of thing predominantly. I'd prefer something that has a 2 stroke engine so I don't need to worry about keeping it level. I'm just trying to weigh up the best option between capstan and chainsaw winch really

    Hello all, I'm looking at getting a portable winch of some description and just looking for people's experience with different types and manufacturers. The ones I've been looking at are the docma and eder capstan winches and the lewis chainsaw winch. Pros and cons between capstan and chainsaw? They are all much the same on price

    Not sure what's happening with the links, just Google "echo cs2511tes parts" and look for the result as circled above to get the pdf
  10. Coletti
    That link doesnt appear to work so heres the search i did for it, the parts catalogue is the second result as circled in the pic https://www.google.co.uk/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-samsung&source=android-browser&q=echo+cs2511tes+parts
  11. Coletti
    Did you call them as that's how I got it, anyway, for reference, here's the pdf parts catalogue for the 2511tes. The felling spikes are on page 25/26. Give them a call and tell them what saw and that part number and they will get you sorted. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.echodependonit.com/upload/XECCS2511TESC20161024151750.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiU6rG6kIffAhVM66QKHeaEDRsQFjABegQICRAB&usg=AOvVaw1ZJNOvflTdWLrbnCvNqoUw

    Take a look at the 3l isuzu rodeo, anywhere from about 2004-2011 will be fine. Old enough not to have too much electrics and a very agricultural engine that's easy to maintain and work on. They aren't the fastest, but pull very well and can return 36mpg on a good run. I've had an 06 plate for around 50-60k miles and aside from usual wear and tear parts I've only had to replace one abs sensor which considering it's on 135k I don't think is bad (the abs sensor is the only thing aside from normal wear and tear parts it's ever had replaced) and many have gone 300k + with out much fuss so they are very reliable and to be honest, they are pretty cheap

    You'll have employers liability insurance so they wont need personal accident cover...

    Coletti replied to shavey's topic in AJS Dolmar

    Fair enough. I'm assuming you will be getting more at some point, if so, what price is the doly with battery and charger? Not been overly keen on battery saws due to the cost mostly but having a look online, these appear to be much cheaper than others and if makita motors are anything to go by I'm sure they will be very good saws

    Which Welder

    Coletti replied to Lazurus's topic in General chat

    Gas less is okay but spits and is messy. As has already been said, if a breeze isn't an issue then get a proper mig welder. If you look around you can get inverter mig welder that will also do arc and scratch start tig too which is always a bonus. One I keep hearing about and haven't seen a bad review of is the Rtech mig welder so worth a look there. Some good vids of it in YouTube also

    Price? And is there any videos showing cut speed?

    Can get little spikes for 2511tes from forest and arb, part number is C304-000000
  18. Coletti
    Not if it's uprated to 7000kg gtw...
  19. Coletti
    Only issue I can think of would be that I've there were to be an accident caused by a failure in the device then no insurance would cove it.

    January release for the states aparantely and from what I know, tree stuff are taking pre orders and Wes spur are shortly going to be taking pre orders. It was revealed at the tcia expo in the states this week. No news on ce marking or UK release yet but the process is on going for this I'm lead to believe.

    Like I said...you'd be cheaper having a proper tipper conversion done
  22. Coletti
    You may be surprised. A standard sided tipper conversion doesn't really have that much in the way of material and time wise it would be a couple of days for someone in a set up workshop that does it day in day out. Here's one example
  23. Coletti
    Power tipper is most definitely still trading, he's been posting up in one of the farming groups I'm in of late. They look a nice idea but for the price you could have a tipper conversion done which would be stronger and give better load capacity

    When speedlining lumps of timber (or anything a little heavy for a safe hand hold) we often just tie of as normal on the stem just below the chog but run the other end through a flying capstan type lowering device (Stein rc1000 in my case). This does 2 things, 1. It seriously reduces the risk of the groundy losing control and flying towards the tree and 2. It allows the ability to "let it run"so to speak to dissipate the initial shock load and dissipate a lot of the energy.

    I haven't used him, but only because the people I used were 1.5hrs closer than he was. Spoke with him a bit to get a quote for the spec I wanted and he was very reasonable with his pricing and very acomodating with regards to what I wanted. Only way yo k is for sure really would be to take the plunge I guess. I believe he has an fb page with pics of his work
