Yes, you need to also put it into context that the alternative was grit or steel and engines aren't going to like that. Walnut was a waste product too, so win win when your imports into the UK were restricted by u boats etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they also used acorns and similar hardwood to achieve the same.

The gateway may be 17ft wide but if it's coming off a single track road at 90deg it's gonna be tight for an artic/wagon and drag? Also powerline above so even if he did get in, how's he going to unload?

Has anyone heard of this practice before? It's fair blown me away, can't quite get my head around it

Is that just you being a cheeky cnt or are you lying and having a good old rant because you got caught out posting conspiracy twaddle from twitter.? Just in case anyone was wondering or gives a fook, what it was about some bint who posted some garbage on twitter that made some shite news feed which then back tracked realising she was talking garbage and I got slammed for it. Its all in the article he posted.

i would say its knacked they do not like been pruned it should be just going over from flowering now best bet take it out and get a new one

wow OF - a no holds barred approach to climbing the property ladder -whatever it takes, no matter what

There is a few things to think about here,, 1,, i would think you would need a felling licence in place first,, 2,,i would make sure that who ever goes in to your woodland, fully understands the process of thinning and what you want done, as i could just see it virtually ending up ruined ??, 3,,several years ago i let a trainer who provided training for a local council on to one of our sites, it was explained very clearly what was required and TBH it was a right shambles of a job, saw logs cut at 3.5,3.6,3.7& 3.8, stumps left 2ft high, timber lead at all angles, this probably cost me 2 extra days when extracting the timber, on off tractor measuring logs cutting logs etc 4,, what is happening to your timber ? will it be left in nature piles or will it be extracted, there is a bit to think about when letting some one who is young and keen with a chainsaw loose in your woodland, personally i would be there suppervising and labouring myself,,

It seems to me like you took my reply personally. Not my aim, but if you want to take offense that's your perogative. I was merely suggesting that Shutlers OF paid for more of his new house than treework did.

On the evening walk up the hill. Always two dogs, usually one cat, sometimes two. The cats are doing their best to tell Oscar that they are willing to play with him, but only on their terms, and that they have claws. He'll get the message soon enough.

Have some! Wordle 1,056 2/6 🟨⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 A bit of inspiration on the second line, but also a lot of luck on the first. Thanks Squaredy!

it seems to me you quoted my post without really thinking about what I wrote. Clearly not every person who invests will make money, I mentioned a few members who do have a high investment, but are making money. Shutler has bought himself a nice smallholding out of it, from what I've been reading. Some people just are good at retaining and gaining new customers - their reputation precedes them

And why do you think they should cut down the tree, you can't really force them as the tree predates your house and your not even the owner yet. Until you're the owner I wouldn't even acknowledge or discuss it.

Sounds like prison suited you! Don't assume having kit = making bank!

So cut them back!

I was going to suggest this guy on YouTube, you beat me too it. I've watched a few of his videos recently, after someone else on here recommended him last week. Very good.

Feck’em, I’ll stay here tonight, can you make our Joderall Bank? I’m sure

Hello all, I'm looking for some advice regarding these California Lilac bushes. I thought they might be dead but there are some green shoots sprouting from a few branches. The home owner wants to cut the top of the tree removing all the branches, even the ones with little bits of green starting to come out, and see if it recovers. Is that a good idea? Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

It’s not about being poor, more to do with people wanting extortionate money to stay on their ground, (I know, if I don’t like it…) they can go feck themselves, I’ll pull anywhere in peace, I won’t pull somewhere to have my pants pulled down. £600/month plus electric is taking the piss.

Aye, it's good to read a bit of positive news these days.

Follow these pruning videos, I don't think you will do better. Whole series of them and then u tube will throw up some more from America which are different technique but explain principles.

Same experience for me, further south. I gave up trying to get French distributors of two-wheeled tractors to quote me - beyond some dodgy guy who obviously works for the French distributor but seemed to be trying to sell me his demo model - 'we don't usually sell direct to customers, but in this instance etc etc'. The Dutch are way more proactive

I want to be charitable and say he's cleaning up beaver damage, but I don't think that's the case.

Hi Big J Thanks so much for chiming in! Really interesting observations, as were the other contributions 👍. The Lennartsfors should be really useful in my random, quite densely planted hardwood forestry (especially for the first major (overdue) thinning exercise - so for my own use, I doubt I'd need to expand my kit to the next level in terms of productivity, expense etc. I had considered that as it could be so easily loaded, it might earn some money for similar use cases as my own - and sufficiently retard proof to allow for standard equipment rental. The forwarders like the log bullet look great for sure but they are quite expensive and to my brain seem to occupy an awkward middle ground in terms of expense and utility that I can't quite fit with my own thinking. Spending incrementally more on the next step up, in terms of capability, does not seem to compromise much with regards to lower impact operability, while opening up more demanding higher volumet work. With regards to expanding my plant to the point where I can earn money from an owner/operator model, I had considered spider excavators setup for skyline, and then in the summer using the equipment on building, drilling and other non-forestry work. With an 18t dumper and the spider, I can see some potential for longer term contracts, but I'm still looking about to survey the market in these other sectors. In any case, I really appreciate the advice and observations - it really helps to clarify things! Jonno

Having not listened to much of the dialogue, is German porn dubbed so it sounds a little less like a WW2 POW film ?. Asking for a friend obviously!. I am here to fix the refrigerator or other similar pretext or is it more what the window cleaner saw ?
