    Hey, I sell Iggesund Forest bars in Norway, unfortunately I don't know who sells them in the UK. If you have any questions regarding the R2 series, feel free to ask.

    Jonsered 2188 is worth a look.

    You can use the Duromatic bar. The only downside is that the chain will require more power to turn, compared to if you had a sprocketnose bar.

    Thanks for the feedback. I may end up ordering the basic harness or the complete kit. The harnes looks comfy and with good suspension points like you said.

    Has any of you tried the Climax Atlas tree Integral and the Climax Tree basic harness? Climax arb kit /w pictures of the harness at page 64: http://www.productosclimax.com/wp-content/uploads/catalogo-productos-climax-2016_2017.pdf

    It's easier to flip with two wire cores and if you are so unlucky and slide or fall, they will grab on eachother and lockup.

    Logosol timberjigg/basic is a good setup for 60-80cc saws.

    How does the 1,5 ton Yanmar compare to a 1 ton machine? ex. Kubota u10.

    Hey Rich, out of curiousity. What was the name of the company that you were working for?

    Hello Tretoppen and welcome.

    I was shown one at a arb show last year that had a hook loader kit from palfinger mounted. The representative from palfinger spoke very highly of them. They also had a Renault Maxity on the stand with a hookloader. The sprinter is a much more stable platform and the comfort in the cabin is better. Both could load about a ton with the hookloader kit and alloy bed with mesh sides. Loading ramps and toolbox was included in the loadbed.

    Kranman bison is a very good forwarder.

    Here's a few manufacturers worth checking out: Dalen, Duun, Igland forest, Hakki pilke, Palax, Japa, Lilleseth. Your Dexta will have no problems running a 4-7 ton hydraulic splitter. Another option is to get a screw style splitter, some of them are combined with a cordwood saw. 2 in 1.

    My favourit saws: Jonsered 2172, Jonsered 2252, Jonsered 2152, Husqvarna 242xpg and Stihl 200. My favourit saw of all time is the Jobu Junior super. A torq monster at 93 cc.

    Poppuls Tremula that had fences on two sides, slope on the third side with the mainroad at the bottom, and a bridge with the walkway on the 4th. The tree had a slight side lean out towards the bridge and ofcourse the climbing kit was left at home. The solution:

    Healthy mature trees will most likely survive the onslought. Young trees on the other hand

    Does this count as a arb digger? It's on my wish list. [ame] [/ame]

    Found these while cleaning up windfallen. 30m tall Pinus sylvestris with chest dia.50-60 cm. straight as an arrow. The second tree is a Picea abies with a bend.

    Thanks. To tell you the truth, I liked the Iggesund bars so much that I ended up becoming a dealer. What I like about them is that they are based on the harvester bars that Iggesund produces. The R2 series is a lasercut solid bar with a large nose sprocket that is held in place with 6 rivets (laminate bars often have 1 or 4). The chain groove is very deep, which carries more oil and extends the service life of the bar. It is a very rugged bar, almost to the extent that it can be used as a felling lever. Iggesund Forest is currently nr 2 in the world on harvester bars.

    Yes, it is the rear axle from a fergie that we have used. It is held in place with 8 bolts. 2 At the rear pto, 4 at the fender mounts, and a bolt on each side where the pto lever usually is located. The pto shaft, hydraulic pump and cylinder was removed and replaced with coverplates. Internally we had to fabricate a pto output from the differential that is bolted to the front coverplate. 2 Pto shafts are used to transfer power from the trailer to the tractor. A wire crane is basically a boom with a winch that helps you lift the logs.

    Weight is important, but a factor that is often overlooked is the vibration levels. Low vibrations is just as important as the weight of the saw. Like others have suggested, you should go with a 50cc saw. My weapon of choice is a Jonsered 2252. It weights 5 kg (0,1 kg more than the husky equivalent.) and has the lowest vibration levels in it's class.

    The red trio. Jonsered 2172, 2252 and 2252.

    Hey, the smallest bar that you can use on that saw is a 16" and the largest a 36". A 24" bar would most likely be ideal. when you are milling, make sure that your saw is tuned fat and that you let it idle for a min after each cut. The best result will be achieved with a chain that is filed at 10*. Take your time and let the saw do the work.
