    No doubt there are other models about, seems none use a 'boom' style, I wonder why? Also the diy method, if feasible could get you something decent for less than 4k

    The ram on the model must be capable of lifting 500kgs, thats a decent sized log, even if you put 200kgs of counter ballast at the rear to prevent tipping....
  3. Luckyeleven
    weld a footplate on, no walking + beer gut for rear ballast to stop some tipping?

    Thinking out loud, it would take someone considerably more mechanically minded than me, however could you not take this: [url=https://www.agrieuro.co.uk/agrieuro-tracked-power-barrowminidumper-europorter550hydro-hydraulic-tipping-500-kg-p-5498.html][/url] https://www.agrieuro.co.uk/agrieuro-tracked-power-barrowminidumper-europorter550hydro-hydraulic-tipping-500-kg-p-5498.html Take the barrow off and use the ram to push an arm up and down, with some large timber tongs on the end? Hey presto........no?

    I just cut at a full 2 inch, as this is the maximum my circular saw can handle, making future projects easier.

    I once met a guy who had to saw up a mule carcass which had fallen off a trail into the grand canyon, several weeks of 40c heat before....

    I think a photocopy of a select few pages from 'to fell a tree' would do wonders....

    I hope you are going to knock up an invoice for your wasted time and stress? Meanwhile in dreamland...........

    Again the plot thickens, these were pompiers marins, (military) and most definitely better at their day job. As for the commune workers, prune is a strong word
  18. Luckyeleven
    Well I suppose the real question is then, Should firemen be felling trees when they have no training to do so? and in what circumstances?
  19. Luckyeleven
    Sorry I should have made it clearer, I'm in France where the firemen do everything, Drive ambulances, destroy wasps nests etc etc. Although the basic point remains.
  20. Luckyeleven
    Theres a reason why employers dont normally pay for formal training with jackhammers or disc cutters, but do for chainsaws.... I dont think one guy on each engine with basic training is too much to ask for.

    I've just been trying to help some firemen with a windblown, hung up lime, but being as it was in a military zone I wasn't allowed in to physically do anything. They had already been at it about 30mins when I idled down to the bottom of the garden to see what was going on. By this point the tree had been riddled with so many cowboy cuts that it resembled a slinky. Im not knocking firemen, one of my best mates is one. Ive nothing but respect for them. But surely the powers that be should insist on some kind of training in tree work? Considering that they have to deal with storm related incidents several times a year? Anyway tree is on the floor (barber chaired) lamp post smashed, and I'm down 3 plastic wedges

    Well I'll assume i'm in the hat, too late to worry about it now!

    Further update on my kangoo woes. Towing yesterday, loud noise like a tyre blowing, massive loss in power, feels like its running on 3 cylinders, running lumpy and feels 'geared down' Im thinking an injector blowing a seal? No obvious signs under bonnet. HELP!
