Aye or hinge up or down. Was hoping someone had made something like this before or something similar.

Brackets would be just below the wire mesh either side etc.

Been working for a tractor trailer set up for a bit now and known the owner well. We do all aspects of forestry production, 4-500 ton clearfell spruce being our biggest job. Everything cut by hand and shifted with the Jake Crane on the tractor etc. Operator holds tree up with crane whilst I work the tree/sned and cross cut and he stacks. Randomly came to mind but instead of holding the tree, there could be a bracket on each side of this winch where you can rest butt of the tree on and give the crane some slack as holding a full tree in the crane will surely wear it out over time? Anybody ever seen or done this before? I’ve heard of people doing it with skidders.

Never ran or started bought off of Crocky or Ian Gregory in March. Scottish Borders. Up for 1100.

Here is my 4 day old 550 mk2 and this is how I have to unstick the pull start (never in my 2 years softwood cutting have I experienced this so quick). Kill switch is also tempermental straight out the box. Saw is flying though IMG_5731.mov

A million times better. Will get some more videos of everything in the next few weeks.

A few from the past few weeks. Working alongside a tractor trailer set up/motor manual squad with a lot more variety in work. Even got an industrial alloy rake out on the fir job and felt like @Doug Tait for a day, gardening…. Currently in selective hardwood thinnings/hand stacking would get more photos or videos of the stunts being pulled but my camera is a bit knackered. A bit like my back after this week 2 videos on the previous page

Tell me something I don’t know

I felled a load of sycamore last week or the week before so no…

I am so broke in this day n age, I’ve resorted to recycling my sweetcorn

Will be an utter pain in the arse and I do easily 20K in my van every year if not more. I live in a rural part of Scotland where everything is a drive. We are already taxed to the maximum in this country. Yet another way of punishing rural people in the favor of city slickers. Don’t even get me started on the dropping the percentage of alcohol either as that is just a step too far in my opinion. If I’ve read up on that right… it is to avoid tax.

I have had the same with 5 Series saws. A lot of the time I’d hold the throttle wide open and pull the cord to restart them if they are being iffy. With a brushcutter might be a bit of a pain.

Just buy the 461. It’s plenty light and powerful! Wouldn’t bother buying anything Husky. I am fully converted now 😂
