Well today was a sad day! After 7 years together we split up. She was a great chipper, I had her from new and she served me well but the time has come to upgrade her for a newer model. So thanks for your good service and I hope you serve your new owner as well as you served me.

Your lucky then, anyone who calls me to price chipping their crap usually want and expect it done for a pittance.

Well we have got the job done early which is nice, part down to a good climber but also down to the fact that we could track the 230 very close to the brash pile and then just chuck everything straight in without and snedding, the odd bit had to be cut due to very Knarly unions but after a bit we could even put those through, as you get used to the hopper you can get but to go how you want them. I would honestly say that it's save a lot of messing about to get stuff to chip. It will save time on jobs and thus allowing me to earn more which helps. I'm doing a big oak later this week so will be interesting to see how she gets on with that, I think it will love it:)

Early brew today as we knocked 20 mins off chipping with new chipper, no snedding and getting it right up to the brash helps.

Yes mate, it's a beast. Very excited about it. It's the 3rd Timberwolf i have had mate so very excited.
-
Yes mate, do you know him?
-
Well I'm rather excited as today I am getting to use the new 230 VTR, it looks a very well thought out machine and the tracks are massive! It's a beast. We have a big chestnut to reduce today so it will be good to see how it copes with the twist branches. More later:)

It's a bonny day Paul, I'm looking forward to playing with this......

Arbortec Breatheflex chainsaw trousers Type C size guide.
Hodge replied to pault's topic in General chat
I reckon you would need a medium as they are baggy. I had them in XL but found them huge, I tried large but they were a bit small. I love my hi flex and now wear a large in them. -
Nice one Rob, at least you get a regular income, which helps.
-
I thought you had your own company Rob?

It was a great day out mate, looks a good place to go to college.
-
Stone henge?

Oh well I guess I will have to find someone else now. You can do it yourself with a pillar drill and bench grinder and the correct grinding wheels, there has been a thread on here about it before. TBH I'm thinking of changing to the multi tip cutting system that I had on my rayco, they are very easy to tickle up at home with a diamond disc.

Just had a good day out at Myerscough college country fair and open day. I had a look at the stihl electric pole pruner and am very interested in getting one, anyone got one? There was lots to see and do and the college looks a very good place. My little lad lived it and now wants a ferret as well as a John Deere tractor and a MK1 escort!

It's called hellilogging in a sucker hole and I got mine off Amazon USA $67 plus shipping.

That's him, he died last year. He writ a novel about heli logging, it's really good.
-
Shame the pilot died. If it's the guy with the tash.

Keep him away from my New Chipper Paul!!

The 2 on the left don't look to happy

Just get it in finance mate, small down payment and your away. I'm getting mine next week, it should speed up jobs as the infeed rollers are fantastic, less snedding to get conny through!!

It's a teaser, it's got me hard.
