Dithering over which little old tractor
HuntingHicap replied to Mr. Ed's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Have driven both a 35x and a Ford 3000 a bit, the MF is only going to cope with quite smallish trees, the Ford is still pretty manoeuvrable. Both good choices, not that it helps!😁 -
He cleans windows Kyle. You wouldn't understand. Bill Gates has been skyping him about the vaccine rollout.

Stump Grinder Choice - Rayco RG13 vs Rock Machinery SGR-33

No, but please do. Preferably while wearing shorts and flip flops. -
Oi! I have already claimed first dibs on those!

Thats only a medium guy stood next to it though😆

@luxyou like cats in trees?

Are you rabbit infested
HuntingHicap replied to SteveJohno's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I had an albino hob, polecat gill. Likewise had a flexi pipe run, they loved it. And a weldmesh base in the day part of the cage where they shat, so could hose it out. Fed them a mix of dry food, rabbit, squirrel, pigeon, pheasant, you name it, they ate it. Vicious little bastards but they were good at rabbiting. -
Have to love the "ping ping" noise as the wires are burning out. Especially on lorry or tractor tyres.

I didn't know fixings companies ran chippers...

This was the same one who came marching through a live felling site, past all the barriers and warning signs, but it was ok "because I am going to the church". Yes love, nearly for the last time as well!

I had a somewhat "special" lady ranting at me yesterday, pretty much quoting Farage's rant verbatim, she was slightly non plussed when I explained that the reason she could see so much sky was because the leaves are off. She thought it unacceptable that we were felling hazardous trees next to the paths, instead "the path should be moved" - despite the fact that doing so would destroy more habitat than what we were doing.

Scaffold pipe, scaffold pole. It's a tube you peasant. That's why its called tube and fitting.
-
Yep. Can't you tell...😂😂

I appreciate that your new axe isn't as "new" as you wanted it to be. But. Its for splitting logs? Just crack on and use it.

I recently changed my 560xp to 3/8s, definitely cuts better.

I'm hoping for first dibs on @Stubby's ported saws when he hangs up his saw boots, us being fellow sussex lads an all.
-
I think its also the sheer amount of machines out there as well. In my area, (sussex/surrey) the only timberwolfs you see are old ragged ones. When there is that many about the chances of the odd friday machine must be higher.

As a self employed subby, I get to use a few different chippers. Like the old jensens as they are bullet proof and plodders, but have to say that even with the occasional issues forst take a lot of beating. Day to day I use a combination of a 2 year + old st8, and a brand new TR8d55. The st8 is faultless, the TR8d55 has had a few small niggles but chips like an absolute animal. To be fair to global, they are very quick to respond to any issues, and ours was I believe, the third of its kind of the production line.

When I was at college I was told a story about a 346xp being revved up without the side cover on, the clutch unwound itself as the saw was throttled back, hit the bench and went straight through a breezeblock wall. There was a patch in the workshop wall so I presumed it was true.
-
Get a skidsteer loler tested? I can imagine there is a very slim margin of tree surgeons who would do that. I have some experience of ag welding, and given the right size bushing being readily available, could cut that off and stitch a replacement on in a bloody sight less than half an hour. You obviously have never been in a plant hire workshop for any amount of time.
-
I was meaning once he'd started. Of course having seen it he will wander off to sit on his phone in the bog for an hour and a half, have a dump the size of a small country.
-
Ffs. Its a skidsteer grab, not an offshore oil rig derrick. Any decent ag mechanic will cut that off and weld a replacement on inside of half an hour. Sometimes replies on here are nuts.
-
Yeah thats right. The metal one is what I tie the saw strop to, the plastic one is for high clipping the saw.
