She aint going nowhere unless its to the woods with me shes a legend honest only put 45 liters in her for that entire 30 day job what happened to effienciency like that hahaha sometimes forget the last time i filled her up. But yes machinery machinery i love it but it seems to hate me and breaks a lot .....keeps my engineer happy tho.... Suggestions for forestry / mill yard lifting device ah !!! Telehandler Swinger All terain forklift Unimog Forwarder Machine head for digger? Whats ya thoughts
-
Yes mate my thoughts exactly either as a back hoe (although never heard of a jake plate enlighten me) or 3 ton swinger with grab and also cpuld use for ditching and track work to an extent. And could stil move with me truck, and would leave my tractor with the winch on and grab with swinger to clear landing zone as that clogs up quick. Im deffo not going to be stacking by hand for ever few times to know you can then save the body and get a machine hahaha
-
Still waiting for the second half to be extracted as a track was not big enough! Make sure your tracks are nice and wide you always need more space than you think .
-
Yes this is true as this industry needs to start raising rates so we can reinvest into better gear and training people up.

Some short vids of completion before extraction may give some idea of what timber looks like trackside and when its all been lorried away i will share the load numbers with you.cheers 20210402_103320.mp4

Yes it was trackside price, £7-8 for extraction and yes probably sold for close to £50 a ton. The 8 meter poles are being sold for over saw log price but chip is coming out without any profit although it feels good to utilise poop bits and tops at least someone will get to use the energy somewhere. Prices need to go up inline with contractors rates as maintaining forestry gear is expensive, and your basically destroying your body for money that needs some compensation in rates.
-
What sort of price would you suggest? Just so i can be a bit more inline with current rates? Cheers
-
Thanks for your comments yes taper was low due to no intervention since planting so stems where lovely didnt want to over thin as fear for windthrow but there is loads more to do next year bit by bit may get a remote winch for then haha.
-
Guess it depends on the site and what your winching up with? Just had half of it extracted and a arctic of beech gone at 27.9 cubes thats a nice pay out at £32.50 £906.75 in 4 days plus ive been offered 20% of any profit from the job.... Probably got another beech 2 trucks of 8 meter and 4 meter poles 1 truck of chip 1 truck of fencing Total 30 man days
-
Yes shes my hardest worker hahaha ive had her rebuilt twice i now regularly check the oil hahahaha and yea was reasonably dry the whole job....nice
-
Just some photos of rhe ongoing project as im nearing the end damn its a struggle by yourself ......
-
Yes beautiful tool but can't do much when it binds up, on clean sites it's a beast for its size. But cant beat a winch on a tractor for efficiency.

The guys who owns it scored a great one with some builder in Bristol who needs 8 meter lengths 30 max bottom end to 16cm tops don't know how we are going to extract them but hey ho......there worth more than saw logs hahaha
-
Yea this is more rectification thinning as the site has had no work done for about 50 years so trees are very slender and are from 30 to 10 cm dbh. I don't think I could do it for any less but hard to assess What s been processed as it's been too wet to forward out and piles all over the place are hard to calculate..... Fingers crossed the stacks add up ....
