  1. x10 today. Floods and everything.
  2. Not one like the majority where the small drum is perpendicular to the cable input. Uniforest 65G would be the starting point.
  3. Tajfun here. Radio Controlled 8.5 tonne bit WITHOUT the powered top roller. Pro of that is it's easier to drive tractor away to detangle drum - you might argue that wouldn't have happened if I'd had the powered outfeed in the first place. Tension between top roller and drum is really essential. Say goodbye to your nice smooth swaged compressed cable otherwise; it will bow and twist, especially if you order the skyline version of the cable which is too stiff. My next winch will be a non drum type but either a Uniforest G or Pfanzelt. Constant* pulling force and far better spooling. Tractor 3pl winches are a compromise imo. Line skidder winches are where it's at.

  5. Thanks for all the replies 👍🏼. I'll see what Vasterns say 😃
  6. I have a small quantity (maybe max 150 tonnes) of very straight and clean poplar timber. As far as I know, it's either firewood or kindling. Bigger logs only fetch £70/t delivered (best offer so far) so just as well firewood it right? But then it's about the worst firewood going? None of it is much bigger than 16".
  7. Is that (front spring and buffer) a straight swap out? Ta
  8. One thing I have found - inertia chainbrake simply doesn't work. Tested it on purpose quite a few times - Stihl could have a problem here...
  9. How much heavy leaning big hardwood do you fell?
  10. "I tried to call the spiritual leader of Tibet, but I ended up receiving a big woolly goat. I must have accidentally called Dial-A-Llama."
  11. Absolutely no contest. The 500i.
  12. You won't be able to keep it that cheap for long. £180/cube is about right. Or £300 for 1.4 cube near Bath.
  13. Annabel Giles: TV presenter and actress dies WWW.BBC.CO.UK Annabel Giles, TV presenter, model and actress, was diagnosed with a brain... Seriously upset. I absolutely loved this woman.
  14. Gobsmacked they (police) even bothered. Normally they'd be far more concerned and preoccupied with a they/them hate error crime.
  15. Best electric drill you could buy was a Kress.
  16. Wow. This is the dream of Albert Pike. When you are dreaming, as you are, it means you're asleep. Time you b woke up
  17. Try Karl Jones - he covers this area.
  18. £110/t delivered ex.
  19. Very good idea. Kind of copy a heizohack on axle version.
  20. Roadside roundwood, specifically ash, has hit the dizzy heights. Twice what it was 18 months ago. Will the bubble burst?
  21. Just find a bit more £ and get a TP. And they all lived happily ever after.
  22. I'm quite partial to a FreeDamm or Erdinger when 0% has to be stipulated. Apparently that makes me gay 🤣
  23. You conspiracy theorist you 😉 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
  24. Is that a Fao Far trailer?
