they may run them, but if they are qualified or not is another question, i wouldnt want to be trained by an unqualified trainer thats all im saying
-
Id check to see if scott is qualified to teach this unit as wasnt when i asked!!!
-
Jim Riddle his contacts on woodlots under training i believe. would say you will learn a lot from him
-
ive used a palms few years back and found it okay to use 6.7m crane i think was little underpowered compared to botex lifting big sticks and legs seemed slow to come down and up! id say a mechanical drive trailer is better but cost is high and only worry is ones with drive cages mean tires will need replacing sooner as drive lugs could slip once the tires are worn??
-
There is a matbro harvester( eagerbever) down road from me and has been sat for a few months if your interested in one?
-
The kesla mounting is too weak and the tractor looks too good to be true at that price
-
thought it was 3/8 from picture, my mistake
-
18" should be 68 dl
-
Drive sprocket and bar if they are worn then they will contribute to slack chain also worn oiler and bar holes not clear of debris and finally depth gauges too low, all these will contribute to a stretched chain if its brand new id take it back To get checked 72 dl is a 20"
-
Id use both as you said but fabricate a hydraulic ram/leg so your able to load trailer with matbro then re attach when full as i guess it doesnt have a drop hitch. Its big crane but cab is inch thick on top and 3/4 all round so very solid and yes twitch on slopes!!
-
If its going on matbro that would be ideal as can self load trailer but can it run the crane as well if it was mounted to the trailer? Yes its a chieftain forge cab and used to have a winch on back and still has the high pulley mounted on cab, not sure where the winch is now as it was without when purchased it
-
new cab will be expensive for restoration but sure you could source linkage and hydraulics easily, does crane bolt pattern match trailer kingpost? you could use crank pump of the pto or get a new pto pump to run the crane? will you be having legs on trailer as they dont have a pick up hitch. id be interested in the trailer if you change your mind

went from a mercedes to county
-
yep run it on a 28" with 3/8 chain, what sort of work you doing with it, arb or forestry?
-
thats the best rate for chestnut in kent, others are paying 1000-1300 tops cant see why its a problem, how long do you think it will take to do the acre?
-
Had a mountain hardwear for 7 years waterproofed it every year, cost 120 i think

I Have the opportunity for someone to get into forestry or someone already working in the industry. Work is varied from oversize softwood, windblow, big oak, firewood and chestnut to name a few. Basic cs 30/31 certs , own saw, ppe, transport and ability to do a good days work is a must. Im willing to take people on a paid trial. work is in sussex/hampshire If your still interested and thinking of giving it a go forestry is hard work but very rewarding. Pm for more details or phone 07751057259
