Its not often that we get trees of this size in west Wales. Both trees had health issues, so they had to go.

I love the Echo saws once they are set up right, really good acceleration/ power. But they are let down by the dreadful AV mounts, your fingers really tingle after a full day on the saw.

First time out with the new setup. A bit weird felling trees with no physical effort, but i imagine i will get used to the comfy seat, heated cab, and radio.

You don’t need any distractions whilst felling,dropping trees is dangerous enough. And why do we need to be permanently connected, this world is getting more like the Matrix.
I really like the MSA chipper spec ear muffs, noticeably quieter than most other muffs. -

The best thing about modern saws is the vibration damping. I really notice how bad the old saws are when i get a bit of nostalgia and break out my old 272xp.(which isn’t that old)

Good to see a verdant green forest. You don’t seem to have many Brambles in your forest understory, but looking at the last picture i think the ground is too wet.

Muz replied to the topic Ash Dieback in the forum Logging and Felling 10 months, 3 weeks ago
The loss of Ash in west Wales is going to have a major impact on countryside, we have about 40% Ash coverage here.
Interestingly we are starting to gain Elm again in the woods and hedgerows, but it is now the right age to host the beetle which carries the disease.
This site is going to be replanted with 80% Cherry and Oak, and 20% sorbus and Birch. -

The young Ash trees in this woodland are dying with about 95% loss. All coming out and starting again.

Husky bars have the strength and durability if cheese, so no wonder it broke in the video -

That looks like a well thought out machine, but the price is too high to be commercially viable

Unstable and easy to turn over, not very good for towing any weight on a trailer unless it is dry and flat.
