I just thought it was a huge stump
Odd looking at it from that side is all. Arctic version has the heated handles right?

It does. And Stihl took that bit seriously. They cook like the ones on snowmobiles. Will damn near burn your hands. Toasty warm with gloves in winter.

That would be a special order down here. Would be awful nice to have warmed hands in the winter though. You've got a pretty decent arsenal of equipment going. I need to catch up on my MA if I'm gonna keep up.

How do heated handles work?
Do you know about machine feeding your 90xp?
I'm wanting a smaller chipper like that for access/ weight, and one I can feed with the mini. My chipper is built '70's steel tough. My folding feed tray has two 3/8" bolts that lock the folding part to the stationary funnel part of the feed tray. I'm leaning between a 90xp and 12" bandit or some morbark.

Not really sure on that Sean. Some kind of heating element running off the flywheel.
The 90xp is a 9" top to bottom on the feed, and about a 15" side to side. The Feed tray is pretty well overbuilt. There's two spring loaded 1/2" dogs that lock the tray in the down position. I don't imagine you'd have trouble feeding it with a machine. I only have a 9" Vermeer to compare it to, but my Bandit throws a lot harder, feeds better, and holds it's RPM's. That little gas Ford four banger is super smooth too.

Thanks, Sam. My chuck and duck throat is 9x16.
I fed 2/3s of a multi-trunk maple removal the other day with the mini. Just rev'ed it up to 10. Loved it. Fir limbs are harder, and would probably much better with hydraulic feed wheels.

Some great pictures there gents. Not been on for a while, but as I have said before this is the tread I check first.
Been working, been holidaying, had a couple of weeks in Hong Kong, chillin out and catching up with a friends.
Most of my time has been taken with organising my life.
As a family we are moving to Norway this year. The missus got a job starting in September and the kids need to be there for the start of school in August. My house in London is on the market and we have seen a few nice properties over in Norway. Just gotta play the game at the moment.
Not too many pictures have been taken, probably a combination of shit weather and just cba.

Big move Rich, good luck, I'm guessing that a house in London (assuming you're a bit of the way through the mortgage) should fund a decent place in Norway.

Thanks Mick. Yes it is a big move and hopefully should be a better life for my kids. Norway has the things I love, beautiful scenery, mountains and snow.
Cory, it makes me laugh that when you can't be arsed doing something you can even describe that lack of action with a TLA. Kind of ironic eh?
A couple of pictures from the recent trip to Hong Kong. Stayed on a small island called Cheung Chau, where my mate lives. No vehicles, chilled lifestyle, pretty traditional and only 12 km circumference.

Been having a bit of chew on lately with my RR. Managed to pick up a new tending pulley at the Arb Show a couple of weeks ago. It has made the RR buttery smooth again. A pleasure to climb on.

Cory, the Muay Thai is still going. My sons had his 8th fight last weekend... still at interclub level as he is only 9 years old. He did very well and dominated the clinch with his knees. There is another on the 1st July which we will do and maybe try to a decision fight before we leave. I have found three clubs in The Oslo area so we will resume when we are settled.
I had to get the snap next to Bruce. He was a bit taller than I had imagined. I wanted to climb the rope and get a picture with me low kicking him. I thought best not as the Chinese tourist would probably linch me.
Sgriff, yeah I will be carrying on tree work over there. Don't really know what else would be open to a Brit who doesn't speak that good Norwegian. Not sure if you were aware but I contract climbed over there for about 3 years on and off.
We went over to Oslo just after I got back from HK to look for houses and I spoke to a few Arb firms over there and they have offered me work. Just gotta give them a hola when I arrive. Then the next step is to get a chipper and a bit more plant and start my own jobs. Something I have resisted for years in the U.K. Due to thriving twats, far too much low balling going on with the competition.

Last pic or two then back to strictly work snaps.
Haakons last Interclub. We had some family over from Norway and ended up in Greenwich Park, on the meridian line. I used to live next to the park and have spent a lot of time in there. It dawned on us that day that everyone goes there for a particular picture. But we didn't have a shot from there. What a fitting place and shot for the kids to remind them of their time in London.

We did some storm damage on the biggest cottonwood I have ever seen! I still need to transfer pics off my phone but this thing is huge we had aproximatly 750' of lines hung, not including climb lines, and three portys to rig this thing. I didn't get any action shots but the limb that was gently resting on the house was about 24" where it folded. The two main leads are four and five foot respectively and at least six log trucks, two ten cord bunks, of wood in the tree. Working up an estimate for removal probably a 100 tonner involved.
