Boaters take yr logs??  K

 

 

Plenty of boats on the other side of the river burning logs but no one showed any interest. 

 

I'm sure the owner would be more then happy to give them away to anyone that rowed past.

Bit of a rush job to get a couple of sections of our farm hedge layed before the 1st of March. Nice to have some sunshine today to make job easier and leaves us with some nice wood for charcoal making.

 

I am no pro when comes to hedge laying but it usually grows and keeps the sheep in and out.

Pretty sure you can lay until end of March. 

 

Nice job

nothing wrong in the legislation IMO. 
 

Most people who pass their B car test will never need to drive a vehicle over 3.5t, so unnecessary to train them for heavier

 

the common tipper is manufactures giving an option.

there’s transit sized tippers at3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 and 7ton GVWs

 

if you want or need to go heavier there’s vehicles and licenses available.

 

it’s just easier to be lazy and complain though 😆

 

(and yes, I have tried HGV ownership, the particular size wasn’t for me, perhaps will try again with a different size hgv sooner or later) 

Bollocks!

 

There is so much mid-ground between 3.5t and 7.5t.

 

I don’t want to keep my truck at a yard overnight, or get arse-raped financially for the privilege.

Nice job

Thanks.

 

It's tied to some grant which stipulates we have to stop by the 1st March. Saps rising and birds are looking to nest so another month would be pushing it here anyway

Yeah, but there is alternatives, the legislation isnt "controling the design of trucks" as Dan said. Personal choices is controlling what vehicle we choose to use. Most arbs choose to run as simply and cheaply as possible.

 

You not wanting to keep your truck at your yard is your choice? plenty of hauliers manage?

 

Trees are heavy, so we should be abiding by the heavy transport rules, thats the ugly truth. 

 

IF everyone could play by the rules, it'd be far better for the industry as a whole IMO.

Anyway, here’s the last tree from today, before, we reduced a large lime, felled 5 aspens, winches out a hung up ash, felled a grotty birch.

2 lots of coffee and cake too
