Hmmm

Sorry for the crappy video upload.

I shall see if I can slow it down and try again.

Sorry!!!

The video was / has been uploaded as a bit of light hearted fun.

It is not intended as an advert and it is a shame that the quality is rather poor.

The following link is taken using Vimeo. A little better but only if played in HD.

Please click on the link below to see our four wheel drive wheelbarrow in action.

4x4 WheelBarrow on Acid! - Neues Leben für Ihren Rasen

We could not decide which manufacture to settle with so we finally decided on the TRUXTA.

The video shows us moving several loads of wood and we feel it streamlines our work load by a good third.

Youtube has lowered the original upload quality so it may appear rather pixilated.

Here we have a very quick and short demo of a little bit of levelling carried out by the BLEC power box rake.

The video is moving on from the chain saw used as a pick axe thread and here we see it used as it is originally intended to which is to install electricity cables!

Oh here is the chain saw as a pick axe link!!

Extreme Terrasaw - Neues Leben für Ihren Rasen

:001_tt2:

Hello,

 

Well done, chainsaws not half as dangerous of some of the stuff you must have encountered in the past

 

Incidentally, visited Hamburg on HMS Sovereign in the 80's had a great time

 

Keep up the good work

Cheers for all the great positive feedback.

A couple of weeks ago it was harbour day in the port of Hamburg and it appears that every one here are ex matlows just like my old man and uncle.!

Chain saws are not as dangerous as getting smashed in Afghan???

Check out this crazy video as I think it is on par!!! :lol:

Good luck pongo!

Teehee funnily enough that is what my old man still calls me:blushing::blushing:!!!

Cheers David.

We certainly do but I still find myself being a bit of a Koala bear when up in the tree.

Simple groundie life for me!!!

Ok good afternoon all.

I would like to thank arbtalk for helping immensely during my transitional phase from British Soldier to my new and exciting career which includes playing with Unimogs, DMM shiney stuff, crazy chains saws used as pick axes and the odd bit of lawn cutting and garden design.

Here is the link to a recent article published in the Sunday newspaper. As I now live and work in Hamburg Germany it has been loosely translated via google translate.

Once again many thanks to every on here and thanks to Mart and Rol who allowed trained me and got me certified.:thumbup:

The terrasaw

A couple of grand sterling as we bought two different bar lengths, the bar in the video is only the 500cm bar, we bought extra chains for both bars and also the trolley that holds the unit securely AND safety in place.

When you look at the whole thing very simple but wonderfully executed.

:thumbup::thumbup:

The awesome saw!!!!

This was posted on the other video of the chain saw used as a pick axe so I though it appropriate to post it here?

Looks good.

 

Gonna give Muck Truck a bit of competition depending on how much you're asking for UK version?

Yes we were heavily toying with a Muck Truck but then we stumbled upon this late last year, still in the prototype stage.

We had to go via a third party to purchase this as it should not have been exported as it was one of the original demo units.

I would say in total it was probably near to double the price of a muck truck. But it honestly saved so much back ache and we have done lots of crazy **** with it!

We hope to have a video of it towing the green trailer later this week!!! :001_tongue:

Would it be good for stumps with no access for a grinder then?

 

And what happens when you hit a big lump of flint or the unavoidable piles of rubble the builers seem to bury in gardens round here?

I was secectly hoping that it would be more aggressive on stumps as there is / was one buried where the video was taken.

Unfortunatly a stump grinder is still the weapon of choice

The saw and bar handles the same as with the trees. When digging at the angles you see in the video there is a lot of kick back and material is thrown up (slo mo) of large bricks thrown up in the video.

What we did do was to ensure that no body was stood within 5 metres and if there were any glass in the area then one would have to be aware of the direction of travel (perhaps cover the glass).

If I were digging in an area of flint or where I knew even more debris where to be thrown up then I would most certainly where helmet, visor AND also the safety glasses.

Oh If digging / trenching in such areas you would expect greater / quicker chain wear.

Is there a reason you don't simply use a rotator?????

Great question and one that many people are probably asking.

Firstly the access to the garden is through an underground maze as the property is an old city apartment block. Up some stars, down other stairs etc.

We do have a Stihl Kombi system with all of the rotorvator attachments but, which the video does not clearly show is that there is a hidden stump buried and the amount of roots in there would have taken the job longer to complete with a rotorvator.

The other reason for using the Terrasaw is that at the end of the video you see a black roll of thick re-enforced plastic.

The ground was loosened up with the Terrasaw and then dug out with a shovel. After wards the Terrasaw was ued to place a trench around the perimeter of the hole we had dug out to give us a 500cm depth to place the black plastic material to prevent the aggressive bamboo roots from spreading.

I shall be posting further videos highlighting exactly what the Terrasaw was bought for and that is for primary and secondary drainage / slitting.

The video posted is just an example of how this could be used in different circumstances.

They look pretty good . Dose any body know how much they are ?

Is that question for the Truxta 4x4 wheel barrow or the Terrasaw Extreme?

As promised the link to the 4x4 wheel barrow

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/video-forum/89287-hydrostatic-4x4-wheel-barrow.html

Here we have a video demonstration of a 4x4 hydrostatic wheeled barrow.

I love it!

just ordered one had to have one

Well that is impulsive buying :w00t: remember to watch the credits at the end of the video for the import tax.

Oh have you seen one of those four wheeled drive wheeled barrows? I shall post the link in approx 10 minutes as i am awaiting youtube upload!

:001_cool:

That's one way of getting through a lot of bars and sprockets.

The TERRASAW comes with its own bars and sprockets.

I have the larger bar and chain which I shall upload photographs when I am next at the office.

I think a good scan of the ground first for services would be an idea, but it looks a good bit of kit.

A good scan of the ground was carried out :thumbup: and the ground checked for electricity cables. The bamboo that was dug out before we thought to take pictures and record what this beast can do did contain electricity services so it was a timely jog carefully digging around the electric wires prior to up rooting the bamboo.

Did you make that yourself or can you actually buy them. Nice vid by the way it was different

No I did not make it myself, there is no way I would want to be attempting to manufacture something this crazy!!!

It was imported from a company in New Zealand called Terrasaw.

Here we have a video using a chain saw for ground preparation prior to bamboo planting.

Brilliant Peatff.

Terrahawks, one of my old time favourites!

I have posted another video and started a new thread which shows a little more of the machine capabilities and answers several questions at the end.

Good afternoon all.

Several people have asked for a longer video so here it is.

The video also answers several questions at the end of the film.
