I said it’s a bit quiet in here, are you deaf?

Cutting for a 951XC and it can handle that like it’s nothing. Pretty impressive.

Bit quiet in here……….. @slack ma girdle

Think they’re like 1.5-1.8m long? Here’s a photo plus got about another tree in there.

How much is a cube in terms of a pick up load? I reckon it’s pretty cheap for what I’m giving them?

I’m now selling a pick up bed load (double cab) of 6-8 inch rings of Sitka for 50 quid delivered to people I know.

Also. Put a 24 inch bar in the back of the truck at 4am yesterday morning for a spare going up north, heard a clunk going down the road and didn’t think much of it…. It was my bar falling through the gap between the tailgate and truck bed. @Doug Tait if you see a 24 inch Oregon bar lurking around Scott Street lemme know 😂

Made an arse of it yesterday. Blew the hinge clean off a tree, got my saw stuck. Got my powerhead off so it didn’t get wrecked when I kick it off the stump… Kicked it off the stump, and this happened. Sorted it after a quick smoke and a scroll through Indeed. IMG_5107.mov

Baliquidder 110 mile north. Back again tomorrow. Felling for brash as harvester and forwarder can’t get back up the main route. IMG_5109.mov

Can’t wait for a 4am start tomorrow.

Avoid GB like the plague imo. Tips are horrendous. Had one blow after one chain, replaced it and it has chipped. I then got it stuck in a branch and I’ve bent the tip which is my fault. 100 percent Tsu Mura or Husqvarna X Tough Light. Got loads of chains through mine until the tips went. Took a lot of proper abuse before hand though… Oregon are good, can replace the tips with the cheap Chinese ones for 9-11 quid when they do finally go. (Done it with a few, and I’ve put 3-4 chains through one tip and it’s looking pretty grim now).

It is if you send it over your shoulder and through the dyke. Doug Tait sorted me out so when I take over the forestry and estate game after this email. He is the man that kick started this adventure. Maybe, in the distant future, there may be stories of him. Maybe they will write a story about him…

What lpm are you running your gas? If my memory serves me right we were about 10-14lpm on normal fabbing but worked for a guy that’d run his at like 6-7lpm on the MIG and it worked perfectly fine. Replying to this topic has made me realise just how much I’ve forgotten after 7 years in machining/fabricating…
