After I have taken what I want he plans to get some heavy machinery in and level the lot.

Obviously I don't know the circumstances but some words come to mind " felling licence " TPO, conservation area ,  amount per calendar  month , extraction etc etc etc ....

Hi there.  The chap recently built the house and paid me to install the cinema.  In the "woods" to the rear of the property there are quite a few trees.  We had a chat about them, and he wants them gone.  I asked if I could have a few to cut up for firewood, and he's offered me as much as I want.

Buddy I’ll be blunt.
It’s gone from cutting a bit of your own firewood at home…
Now it’s getting paid to fell and process a woodland.
You’ll need more than a 135 for that job.
Not to mention the paperwork and insurance.
Tread very carefully.

Where are you getting paid work from?

 

Chap I did some audio visual work for has his own land that he is clearing for more building work. There are about 20plus trees that are coming down and it's all being levelled.

 

He has said I can have what I want for home, before he gets the big boys in.

 

Apart from this, I will be cutting up logs in my garden for my own use.

It'll be much easier if he just gets the big boys to stack the smaller branches in the corner for you.

Thats actually spot on.  Its one thing cutting logs into manageable sizes, but cutting a tree down, well, thats well above my skill set, and to be honest Im not right keen on the idea.  But like you said, cutting from a pile would be a whole much simpler.

Get a rag and rub a bit of chain oil on the bar before you use it.
When bedding a new engine in…
Try not to Rev it too much outside of a log.
After each tank of fuel, give it 45-60 minutes to cool.
Keep the chain tensioned correctly.
If it sags after a few cuts,normal for a new chain.
When you’ve retensioned and finished the first tank YOU MUST detension the chain or it will stretch as it cools possibly bending the crankshaft.
