We've got Cooper ST on the 110 there a good all round tyre. Not had problems with them. Only problem is you can't get them anymore so will be going over to AT2's when they need changing.

I think they've stopped making the AT2, only the AT now

Put it this way if you are doing 35 actual would be 36.
Have a look at insa ranger. Same tread as bfg and strong walls.
Are the Insa tyres remoulds?

Cheers Guys, a little food for thought, been looking at the BFG AT, don't mind spending the money but my only reservation is my truck is on 215/65/16 and BFG only make them in 215/70/16, not too sure how much it would cock-up the speedo having bigger diameter tyres..!!!

Need some new rubbers on my truck, anybody got any experiences with General Grabber AT tyres???

As has been said, bore through the hinge to reduce the stress and make sure your to the side of the tree when finishing the felling cut.....
One of the local log suppliers was felling some Ash last week, he had one barbers chair on him and now he has quite a few bolts, screws and plate holding his leg together..... Take care out there people

The stihl shredding blade's are pretty efficient at clearing briars. I have cut paths through briars with a chainsaw tho, does the job

Hi Jon, shame your so far away, we've got some 4-6m butt lengths of Sycamore on the estate, anything from 20-40" diameter, is that the sort of stuff your looking for?

I'd like to have a run in with somebody helping themselves to my timber..!!!
It saddens me that somebody sweats their knackers off to earn a crust, only to have some shithead steal it.....

Husqvarna 560XPG or 550XPG... My opinion would be not to bother with Stihl, been there will not be going back!

It might not be a case of being offered a certain amount - it might be £X per tonne and no matter how good you might think you are, you'll earn not much of anything to start with. If the wood's worth £X per tonne, so no matter what you might think you deserve, you're only worth what you can get on the floor. You'll soon learn not to do any movement you don't actually need to. That's how some of the best production cutters look like they're moving fairly steadily but actually outcutting everyone else.
I love proper forestry, there's nothing better than crashing down big sticks all day, but, it'll never make you a rich man. Sure, you might have a good run, but for every good site there's a bad one and then there's the weather to contend with. We've lost plenty of days in the past from wind making it too unsafe to be on site (feeling rootplates heaving while you're putting the felling cut in is a strange sensation!).
I hope you find someone to give you an opportunity, I'm sure you'll love it, but don't get too disheartened in the beginning. It's not for everyone, but once it takes a hold of you, no other job comes close
Main things people get fed up with are high stumps, poor snedding, inconsistent measuring and stacks that look lik they've been dropped from a great height. Any one of those is likely to put the forwarder operator in a bad mood and he isn't someone to get on the wrong side of.
Too true..
I hope you find somebody who is willing to give you a chance, might be worth asking around local estates, they might be able to help....

Its in North East Wales. If there is interest we could sort something out for the Autumn.
Another one in NE Wales... Whereabouts are you?

I've used a Harkie smock since they were released, £100 well spent, the construction seems to be bomb proof

Currently about 1000 tonnes less than there was 2 weeks ago:laugh1:
