This item is SOLD
- FOR SALE
- USED
This machine was brand new in January, 2023. It has low hours and is in very good working order. Manual and necessary tools are included, as well as a spare set of blades that have been professionally sharpened. It has an electric winch on the front of the machine for loading it into trailers and vans, and also for getting it into hard to reach places. It has not had an oil change, due to the low hours. One safety decal is missing from the top of the feed chute. There are a few minor scratches, and a small amount of rust on a few of the fasteners, but apart from that, I would say that it is as good as new. The reason for sale is that I initially intended to have a small-scale tree service: hence the small chipper; but it has now evolved, and the jobs are getting bigger, so I need bigger equipment. Please feel free to contact me about any additional inquiries or about pickup/delivery.£2,800

Thanks for your replies everyone. I'm leaning towards a ratchet style wedge, either the Eder or the Koller. They both say that they are good for about 20 tons, which is the same as the Treemans bottle jack. All similarly priced and strong. But the wedge style jacks are considerable lighter. Only thing is you don't get as much lift height with them. Pretty much just answering my own questions here, but I'm still on the fence and was just wondering if anyone had a clear cut opinion on which is more useful.

Hi everyone, Not sure if I should have posted this on a different forum somewhere, but this is actually my first post, though I've been on here for some time. I am a tree climber and a forestry cutter too and I think I need some mechanical aid when felling trees. I already have a capstan winch, so I can get them down, but I don't want to always be setting lines in trees. I'm looking at either the wedge style felling aids or a bottle jack. I'm favouring the wedge style devices because they are much lighter and have similar lifting capacity (but not as much lift height) but I've heard that they can slip out of the cut as well. Please let me know if there's somewhere else I should be asking this question. Thanks for reading, Matthew

What's the reasoning behind not liking the sequoia harnesses in the first place?

Schwabisch knot. Unlike the distel, it is very easy to stop it from binding up. Only problem with it is sometimes the bottom of the knot gets stuck in whatever pulley you're using when tending slack. I also favour the michoacan hitch. They're all similar. I just find the distel a little too bindy. Hope this helps
