You say it's a grippy truck on the grass, thats likely to be because the crane's hanging on the ass end. Move it forward and you'll end up with just another truck that's cack on grass especially when empty and has lost the great reach you've got at the moment

Another traditionally used timber for lorry beds was poplar - nice to know it does have a use ! It was liked because it was lightweight, takes impacts well, will dent under point pressure but then restores as long as fibres aren't broken, and copes with flexing and twisting of the chassis. Oh , and of course is cheap and sustainable and easily replaced. You need to make sure it has adequate support for length of span vs load.

You've got some dandy dressed snakes where you is ,boy !!

The end result of 17 hours milling. 6x 3s at 16 and 18 feet, and 9x3s at 21feet. Lucas mill and a jcb articulated loader, and for once a good open level site A happy client

Naaa put the winch on it and bring it down to eye level. Saves all that slippery climbing stuff

In my dreams At this stage in my life I dont have the stamina for long lengths, may just be a light lift and a quick clean out :-D We all like a bit of patronage, proud as hell when we get the wealthy ones , but so jealous/ mocking when someone else does. It's not a great part of our nature is it ?

Well guys I'll leave you at it. I need money and I've work to do.;-)

For Gods sake . What is wrong with you. Can we please put an end to all this rubbish. Too many of us are on this wasting time with piffle when we should be out there cutting

I think I need to get on a plane now, I believe her box needs attending to as well. But yes unless you personally are in a position to change things get on with your life to the best of your abilities and avoid losing time wishing things were different. God loves a tryer. Also much earlier in this thread ( can't believe its rattled on for this long !) it was mentioned that she'd bought a neighbouring house for a million just to demolish it. I cant imagine she sent 'the boys' round to negotiate this , - the money was taken and life moves on. As long as she continues to pay the bucks to maintain the place we're all potential winners. Move on.!!

There isn't a roll pin either in the thickness of the frame of the outer eye ,or behind it and between it and the ram eye by any chance. There must be a securing pin somewhere that you just haven't found

Lunches while at work- How important to get it right?
skc101fc replied to Sharpy92's topic in General chat
West Cork in ireland, and maybe other areas has a long standing tradition of providing a lunch for a contractor or labourer. All the more common and massive when working for farmers. The damn things look like Christmas dinners - almost all of my clients ( mobile milling) are farms. I've had to learn to intercept the wife/ mother /cook and protest my inability to eat large meals during the day. I'm always given the look of deep loathing having refused the food. Having attempted the ordeal a couple of times and been almost asleep on my feet and unable to bend to pick up the planks just a cup of tea will do for me. Also how can I price my hourly rate when I've been sat at their table eating their grub? Always have a good breakfast, a good supply of crisps and sweets, then the main event when I get home. -
What's the capital of Greece ? About €150 at the moment.!!

Check out my second home after arbtalk of couse, the American site forestry forum and its sawmilling section. Loads of home made mills using tyre band wheels, golf carts, ride on mowers old trucks, anytjing you can think of .- almost always does the job and plenty of support and help, so not as daft an idea as ya might have thought. Good night y'all !!

Jon, trees like this come up maybe once every 6 months so I just cant justify the cost of an 880 hence the skip tooth method to reduce horsepower required and givw the old girl a chance

Are you asking me or the original poster? Mines 36". I'm planning to grind off every 3rd cutter as this saw only comes out when I need to use every one of those inches.

Are you running a long bar with standard chain? It certainly bogs my 066,- it simply can't clear the chip fast enough in big cuts

As Carlos says I'm glad I live in Ireland. I doubt the rule book will ever make it down to the far S.W. I'm dreading driving back in the UK, - might as well just surrender my license now !!! Shaun

I used to have grabber at2's on my defender. Were a good all round road tyre , well mannered in the wet, just about ok in the snow ,very long lived, dreadfull for picking up stones and flinging them into the wheel arches, but only marginally better than poor off road . Wet grass with a thin mud soup would defeat them every time often even without the trailer behind. I never trusted them afterwards and would usually chain up with snow chains to get the sawmill into fields. Never any problem then apart from being covered in mud taking chains back off at the end of the day. Have now gone to cooper stt's and haven't chained up yet after 4 months in soggy wet irish summer.
