I would dispute the "most" bit. Round here they sell it at the yard in sealed bags but deliveries are all done in sacks

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's honey fungus unless you've seen golden fungal fruiting bodies (mushrooms) around the base. Rowan's are very sensitive to any root damage, and even compaction of the soil around their roots. The last two rowans I saw that had died had previously had roots severed due to a fence and a patio being put in. Also, how old is it? Rowans don't have a long life span, so it might have just reached the end of its life.

Too wet and high up , too much money and it’s pretty easy to attain c16 grade timber for building on say a 40 year rotation without thinning in a stand … any of the sites I’ve seen in keilder that they thin for continuous cover always seem to blow , these areas are I’m guessing ran by people who’s primary interest is wildlife and recreation and think they are doing the right thing and not realising the reason why they have never been thinned in the first place is because they just blow on the wet peaty soil… the damage is usually so bad it ends up clear fell anyway.

Good Morning Lovely day. Load of Oak to split and stack. Joy! Have a good one.

I looked into this about ten years ago when I wasn't happy with the pay we were getting for travelling. It might have changed but back then you legally didn't have to be paid anything for travel time so long as your pay divided by weekly hours including travel time meets minimum wage. Obviously if you want happy productive staff then paying them their usual rate is the way to go, if the job can absorb the cost. Worth considering how much travel either side of a work day is sensible, if there was an accident on site or a car crash on the way home because of fatigue from long days. We used to be offered accommodation on any site more than an hour from home.

Sorry. Offended. Don't do smoked. Don't do Tofu. Otherwise, like a stir fry!

Remote control replacement for double drum winch.
PeteB replied to Tom at Heartwood's topic in Large equipment
We do a radio remote for chipper feed. So you can feed a chipper from the cab of excavator and control of the rollers. I'll ask who makes that. -
Chain Bar "Dressing" tool. Is this necessary and used by professionals?
Brushcutter replied to cjdg's topic in Chainsaws
A bench belt sander is also really good for dressing bars. At least short ones. -
1/10 use it for topping up or as mentioned for manual oil pumps, outperforms any oilspray in longterm lubrication.

I might have put this up before, but it's worth another shout for sure.

I've been using a 220 oil for years and never had a problem with the oiling, nothing wrong with oil that thick until winter and the only problem is it takes longer to pour in to the tank

Hi Ray, I'm responding on behalf of a climber I've worked with for 15 years. He's excellent at what he does and I'd like to recommend him as a sub contractor or fully employed climber. The reason I'm getting in touch, is I can no longer offer him the days he needs. He ridiculously does not have any qualifications, so would need to be put through them, but I can guarantee he'd be worth the investment. There is nothing that he can't do these days, he is excellent at dismantling trees of all sizes and good at pruning. He drives and is based in Skelmersdale. Let me know if you'd like his details.

As long as they aren't rotten/old thus pretty worthless it shouldn't be an issue. Seasoned wood is harder and blunts a chain very slightly faster. If they are of a large diameter and you have a small cc chainsaw it might struggle more and cut abit slower than if they were still green. If so go easy and make sure the chain is sharp & oiling well. Cross cutting big rounds can be hard on a smaller saw.

Nice weather for it.

Can the council tell a private tree owner what to do with their tree in your area?

Get onto the local branch they will send the whole flock around thousands of em 🤣

"Don't tell 'im SPike!"

This has been my view for many years... I do have to question my sanity at times but it does generally work out

Finish to preserve natural colour of light timber.
Dan Maynard replied to Squaredy's topic in Woodcraft Forum
People use it for floors though, 50m2 isn't that big if you've a couple of rooms. Mind the flooring would have been thousands for that so worth getting good oil. -

Any tractor dealership mechanic should be able to do it. Basic service isn't too hard to do yourself. If you have a fuel problem and you use the machine infrequently it's most likely water in the fuel or crap in the fuel hose.
