The Predator one looks good, but don't know anyone with one....
-
Yes well worth it for your own use, I have three saws from Steve, all on Aspen
-
Sorry to read this Ken, Hope your guy is doing as well as possible.
-
I have ~200 hours on a TP175 pto behind a 50hp tractor and it has been great so far, second TP and would get another.

Anyone up to date and experienced offering professional forestry consultancy in your area will be using GPS mapping and digital mapping, check for current PI insurance, and be wary of numerous arb focused companies offering this service without the background and qualifications to provide a meaningful serivce.

Make sure you set the blade well Adam, especially if you are going to pull over the crest, and trees are any size. Suspect you would anyway!
-
No slippage so far with mine, poles bending stops me before you run out of pull
-
Looks great and much more arb than mine, but a cam buckle tie down strap with hook into bottom of pole, plus archery trigger does the same job.

If Ridarb can't sort for you, try johnny gurka on here, he has an alpine and flail quite near you

Looking for loler training & assessment in south Wales
Andrew McEwan replied to inthewoods's topic in Training & education
Not south Wales but Rob Blake in Bridgwater is not a million miles away. Did my training with him a few years ago and thought he ran an excellent course, backed up by a lot of industry experience, and a good collection of knackered kit! -
I much prefer Allgear cable over Cobra, far easier to install and adjust, the Gleistein looks very similar to that, if it is AG recommend a brummel splice so suspect will be similar to that.
-
That looks handy, from Alan as well?
-
Jackets - British Military Surplus Had a few decent jackets from here
-
How old is he? Can lessen risk of various nasties having them off if he's knocking on.
-
Sounds good, what did you prefer on the pasquali compared to bsc agt etc? Or mainly price/service?
-
Very nice Adam! Is that from Alan Munn? What d'you think the loader will manage max?
-
Husky 555fxt and their own scarlett blade, I struggled to get 555s from husky uk a few years ago, if they're still being 'interesting' to deal with you can get them easily elsewhere. Much better than the longer shaft rxt models for clearing/respacing

Hare today, gone tomorrow ( hopefully) 😜
Andrew McEwan replied to wisewood's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Brilliant, is it partially burnt to finish? -
Avoid the port-a-wrap style lowering devices if you can, they do the job but any of the single drum bollard types, with a back plate are a big improvement. Tree runner P500 is what we use for what you describe, and it's decent. Have a look at x-ring slings and similar, that and a DMM pinto rig or two, and probably any of common 12 or 14mm ropes will be fine.
-
NTM mapping overlaid on an aerial photo will help you get accurate canopy outlines, but obviously not stem position.
-
I've pm'd you some details of my TP130 pto chipper, over your budget perhaps but I'd rather have my money in a TP than any of the other pto chippers I've seen to fit small tractors.
-
Can do that for you Ken, quite often in MK
-
Well done Jenny, I think many of us will be visiting to contribute, such sad news. RIP Dave

Looks like Trametes versicolor

http://www.ptstools.co.uk/pdf/Lincmaster%20powerpoint%20pdf.pdf Choose one from Lincmaster, many times heavier duty/better thought out than anything else I've had.
