    I always use to use a conversion factor of .7 or .75 so measure your stacks get a volume and you should have a good idea of the tonnage

    Still not had the 1210 in the woods yet, its been tied up on a hydro scheme shifting pipe around. Ok just over the sub 10 tonne size but not large by todays standards, got a 1st thinning coming up to test it out:lol:

    It would be total carnage if lorries were made to stick to 40mph with all the frustration this was cause. Drive the A9 most days, Consider it signed

    You'd need it to work on forestry commission ground and to work for most of the big firms. I don't bother with fmoc yet, no need don't work for them

    I use a £40 Clark one and cant really fault it. Its got a good strong motor and sharpens the firewood processor multi cut chains just fine. Normally do 5 loops at a time. Don't know what the ones in the thousand pounds plus price bracket do much different? a sharp chain is a sharp chain

    looks like the ideal size of machine for thinnings, should be plenty of work for a machine of that size.

    Sounds good value, I'm sure you'll sell plenty. I sell by the cubic meter bag. one thing is mould on the logs, that's hard to avoid. Vented bags are quite expensive too

    I've got the 27 tonne one also have the 4 way splitter but I find that pretty useless, its quicker with the standard splitter, you only need to apply pressure on the log your not splitting it all the way. with a good oil flow you'll get through a cube in no time

    9 tonnes not a lot especially for hardwood, I've got a 27 tonne log splitter and that goes well but still struggles in really tough stuff. Shop around your paying a lot for the name

    there was a guy selling up his equipment in the forestry journal a few months back, he sent me photos of what he had and there were a few sets of band tracks, don't know what he was looking for them but will try and dig out his number.

    All main species sell quite well for me. I sell Larch, Pine, Sitka Spruce, Norway spruce Douglas fir etc.. About 70% of the softwood is Larch that's just because its cheap and available on the doorstep. Softwood is so much easier to process, it dries quicker and far cheaper to get hold of when compared to hardwood

  14. County 764
    Ye I know someone who sells them wholesale, they will have Logepole and Nordman Fir where abouts are you located? and what sizes would you be looking for?

    Looking forward to seeing photos of it at work seen this one a few years back Farm Machinery & Plant Auctions Auction Catalogue - SILATEC 678 CONVERSION 8X8 TIMBER HARVESTER with Silvatec Ha.. http://www.cheffins.co.uk/assets/catalogues/lots/212/4469__2.jpg Quite a big head fitted to it

    put some spruce and larch through the processor the other day which was probably 2 years seasoned in the roundwood form and that could certainly go straight into any stove
  17. County 764
    It ran fine and lifted good, bit of a leak from the rear bogie but apart from that looks to be a tight machine so should hopefully becoming home soon
  18. County 764
    Few Pic's of it
  19. County 764
    The Bruunetts are tempting being a lot more simpler to fix and a bit smaller in size just not seen any for sale recently. Going to take a look at this 1210 tomorrow all being well so will ad a few pic's
  20. County 764
    haha ye I'm use to the 6 levered counties, Timbers getting a bit to big and slopes a bit to steep for it now. Still you couldn't find a simpler machine to get going again when something brakes down.
  21. County 764
    Going to look at a FMG/Timberjack 1210 any one had experiences of the early 1210's?
  22. County 764
    Ye cords a measured amount of stacked timber isn't it? often already split? anything the forwarder picks up and goes on to a timber lorry is round wood as far as I'm concerned

    Oneway!

    That's a neatly stacked load, sounds like a good customer could do with a few more like that!
