Quite right Steve, my old brain couldn't !

Even in a mirror , the clutch side of the saw should be facing the camera, I'm confused!

Is anyone using , or have any first hand experience of the Mottimaster, or Klapi tuiko shear type of processor? Not unlike the Bilke, but can be had delivered for notmuch more than £ 3k .less than half thd price of a Bilke. Plenty of videos on youtube, look to me to to a good job and fast.

If that's the speed of chainsaw mills,with two big saws running? Would drive me mad, just glad i went for a Peterson mill.

I'm in north Carmarthenshire Wales. I started cutting as high as I could reach with a chainsaw this afternoon, I might just use the 12 tonne excavator to rip the higher branches off, or bend them down,untill I can cut the branch, will look untidy. Excavator is fitted with a 3and 4 finger grapple, so will be used to remove the brash anyway.thanka for all the suggestions and advice.

This is a good point, The ground slopes a bit and is uneven for a cherry picker type machine, I've got a telehandler, but can't lift someone else up in the bucket these days! o one local has a saw head on a tractor hedge cutter. New pole chainsaw 4-500 + vat? not going to get the job done anyother way cheaper, ladder and chainsaw? hard work! Yes the pole saw would be very handy around the farm, are they ok cutting horizontally? ie in awkward corners etc that the flail can't get to.,or around electric/telephone posts etc.

I've got a lot of spruce shelter belts on my farm. With the branches overhanging the fence into the field. I need to cut them back in order to cultivate the field. too strong for my flail hedge cutter. My question, would a pole saw be up to it? Which make and model is good value for money. what about the combi units that can also take a strimmer head etc? I know absolutly nothing about these,never even seen one working in real life. some of them sound a bit of a toy with only some 25cc engines. TIA John

Thanks adw , feed? my chain is starving, was thinking of drilling a bigger hole . what should I do?

Bought a new Husqvarna 395 with a 28"bar last November, not used much of it yet. But wasn't happy with the amount of oil on the chain, even at the max setting. Investigating the problem today, pump on the saw is fine, 20" oregon bar and the oil flew off the end of the chain.The Husqvarna bar has such a tiny diameter oil hole ,drilled at an angle, so small that I believe it restrics the oil. anyone had a similar experience? tia John

no probs, Just been on e-bay.de (german) big saving to be made on Uniforest winches too! All the established farm machinery dealers around here have made a vast fortune on our backs over the years! The internet has given us the tool to shop around. As for warrenty, heck a winch? not much to work out how to repair?

please read again Rover, price in Germany was 7300 euro which included vat at 20%. A tight Welsh hill farmer is not going to be far off when it comes to his hard earned cash!

Calculated an euro for 75 pence, 75.4 today,

KGD 800 - EH/SA - KGD Forstseilwinden Have had a rough quote from local Palletways they could collect from Germany for less than 300 quid. Uk dealer basically told me to buy it from away ,than give me an explanation as to why the price differance!

Reliability wasn't good enough! A farming friend ,changed his LR defender evry 4 years, needed to go about 100 miles to a bull sale, in order to be sure of getting back home, they took his sons 10 year old Mitsubushi pick up! he was a life long LR man, but eventually bought a Jap! too many realiability issues!
