i think i need to polish them a bit more....hopefully they'll dry out over Xmas so i can get them polished, got 4 more acres to coppice this winter so want dry feet:001_smile: We are borrowing a teleporter/grab from the landowner when we have finished this woodland so wanted to have one big fire, it'd be a pain starting a little fire every day

Why not have a good fire going from the beginning, work to the fire all day, then use a few shovelfulls of embers for the next day if you need to move the fire? If you fell the tops to the fire there is very little dragging, and you have somewhere warm for lunch and toast your sarnies.

We have been felling all the tops into the fire heaps, and i do keep thinking of starting a fire but we only have one day cutting left now in that particular woodland. Will definitely have a fire from start when we start the next.

Far easier to get a fire going, and keep it going before you get a big pile of brush, I know you said you have machinery to move the brash later, but I think that less efficient use of your time. Not being overly critical, as you're on that site and I'm not, just trying to help you. Looks a nice job anyway mate.

No No, i agree you really make sense. On the next woodland I'll definitely have a fire every day. Thanks

Just make sure the farmer hasnt a problem with more than one fire.

I am probably going to get gunned down for this but i have always thought that and lets face it the TPO system needs a re shuffle! that ALL trees should be TPO, all trees should require consent for action. This way an oportunity arises to control what gets done, whos doing it and more importantly, the education of the public occurs.

 

Thats the way it was in Auckland until about 3 months ago-all trees protected over 6m and consent required for any work removing limbs over 25mm diam. now its gone (new gov) and its a real shame:thumbdown:
