The tanks are coming from a contractor and apparently can't pallet them as had fuel in beforehand. I will ring round the suggestions. Would of preferred a new clarks but at 8 week wait that's a touch too long.

Hi all, Anyone know of a firm who would move 2, 900 ltr used grab tanks from just outside Dumfries to Hereford? Can be loaded Cheers

I have a 2015 hilux 3.0 invincible and it's a pile compared to the older variant. It's build is shocking, clutch is lame and permanent slippage in 4h in low gears, only has 5 speed gearbox so quite juicy, paintwork- well looking at causes a scratch. Off road it's been stuck more time in a year than I've ever been in previous 4x4's Nissan terrano 2 l200 and navara. For the money don't think any of the newer are up to the job it all comes down to preference and budget.

Evening all, Looking at a saw for the harvester cab. I'm considering the echo 620 husky 560 or a 550xp. Will be for the odd fell and snedding big odd hairy tops. Can't decide on the best suited. Had 2 560 in past and a562 so know how they handle but how do the others compare. Cheers.

830 will perhaps be my next machine since I can't find a TJ810 either! Failing that it will be an 840 or 5F. elmsdown - SH from Logset had your 830 on his radar last time he emailed me; I've been looking for a new forwarder for some time; wanted a Rottne F12 but the early bird caught the worm and I was too slow. SH did have it on his radar this week as was looking at the logset 5f but reluctant due to rear bunk extension being weak. I know the 840 at rcfm been worked really hard all its life and don't want to go that big. Wouldn't mind a rottne myself but just don't exist for the age and hours I want.

I use a valmet 830.3 and have lots of different sizes of hard wood and always gat asked for 2.3-2.5 for the end user so it's still manageable for 1 man to lift. At these lengths whether it a 8 wheeler or artic they always run at maximum weights which keeps them happy as well. With the 830 that will squeeze on 2 bays of 2.5 which is a little heavy ideal size is 2.3.

Good luck. Looking to upgrade my forwarder at the minute and there's only a few machines around, and they seemed to be sold before they hit the trader.

Surely that's with holding evidence which, if I'm right is a crime in its self!! Maybe your involved as you clearly have issues with the victims family.

Your right it may not be a advertising forum but I know there is a lot of guys on here who can't afford to pay our over inflated prices for new gear. My thoughts were to try help out someone who is starting up or not able to stretch to a out the box saw. I'm offering a high quality cheap 6 month old saw which is also on arb trader. Also didn't ask for your opinion on what was a better power unit.

Seen the pictures of that looks a strong bit of kit. -

Hadn't really thought of a ponnse. Always seen pictures of them with snapped cranes. -
Welte or hsm forwarder
Elmsdown Forestry replied to Elmsdown Forestry's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Not necessarily for the clam bunk but the only one I've found used has the rear bunk as the clam bunk. Could be handy. What I'm after is a compact machine that can hold about 12ton but has good engine power for slope work. -
Hi all Looking at replacing my 830.3 with possibly a Welte w140 forwarder/clambunk combo or hsm 208f 11/12 ton. Anyone used either and are they better than your normal Deere 1010e or Komatsu 840tx.

Selling my 562 power unit as not needed anymore works well and in excellent condition. Runs the bigger d009 Oregon mount bars and easily pulls a 20inch chain, has the larger American double spikes. £300 for a 6 month old saw and can be taken to UK dealer for any re mapping. 07595290954.

I use either gates for the 3/8th rotator or Stauff for anything larger. Both very good prices and about a 1/3 of hydra ripoff or pirtek.

Just a little 15 hectare seed fell of some final fell scots. Slightly to big really for the machine but we will manage.

No surprises... Environment Agency Fracking Pie
Elmsdown Forestry replied to SteveA's topic in General chat
Anyone actually been to a fracking site? I've been to a few, some capped and inactive and balcombe when the protests were going on. It can only be a good thing for the uk, ridiculously cheap energy and lots of it. I'm sure the EA are involved as caudrilla are heavily regulated for pollution control. Rightly so. If or should I say when it becomes properly active in the uk the results will be benficial to our country.
