Further to winching timber out of our sloping wood, a little reading around, and the opinion seems to be in favour of the use of skidding cones. This seems particularly so in USA/Canada, but I found a couple of positive pieces from the FC. However, a quick trawl of the usual uk purveyors of forestry shiny things did not turn one up. Anyone any opinions on the value of using cones, and any vendors in the UK that you are aware of? Ta CC

Anyone know of anywhere in the UK that sells log skidding cones? (these are plastic/steel cones which go over the front of the log when it is being dragged, and make it easier to pull over obstacles etc). I am aware of them in the USA/Canada, but they are too difficult to import.

Hi all, we're having to replace the rope on a Norse skidding winch, does anybody know what to replace it with?! We've looked at the Marlow Dyneema rope but it is super expensive! Is there decent alternatives? and I'm not sure what diameter we need to get, the one that being replaced looks about 8mm, we want to get 100m length of it so the price soon adds up! Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!
