There is this and maybe a trailer or two more to add to that pile , how long with a cone splitter on a three tone digger to break those logs in to two and three pieces for the processor ? I recon there will be about 25-30 ton. I can get a digger and splitter for €400 a day but if it’s not going to even touch that pile it’s won’t be worth it.. just want to see how that goes and works out for the processor.

What was the price on that new Stevie ?

That’s probably not a bad idea … my thoughts where to buy the splitter this year and get a digger in a year or two but just use the tractor for now.. that could be a better solution for the gear I have and be ideal for the arb waste we use in the boiler once all this over sized 2.8 and 4 m lengths are gone.

Had any one tried this or what are the reasons not too? funds are tight for a digger but I’ve a lot of oversized hardwood that needs breaking down for a processor.

I once bought a farmer tec 066 clone kit to have a spare milling saw … shit plastics ,bearings and seals ,the chain break was barely functioning due to the crap plastics and bad casting ; after buying oem bearings and seals you could of bought a second hand saw… would not touch another.

Japa Saw Bench | eBay UK EBAY.US Japa saw bench only as we up grade to a hakklpilke oH27 has ascrew log splitter perfectly working machine can be seen working. If you are interested call me on... some thing like that would be ideal, would of payed for itself after two years with the cost of what some one would want to come in with a processor for the day.

Are you on acid or blind kram ? , look at the picks man , the whole entire root system looks like it can’t breath through the at least 1ft of claggy shite spread around it. the trunk looks like it’s been hit with an excavator too along with bundles of torn out roots everywhere, it maybe difficult to tell exactly what has gone on with photos but it will be the cause of the trees problems.. my advice to the OP would get a consultant off the arb association web site local to you to do a report on it if you want it to stand up in court.

Yeah …. What ever has gone on around the bottom of the tree has caused that. never change the soil level around a tree.

Ten years would be nice.

The trial was postponed after he tried to top himself and was in hospital when it should of started… he knew what was coming and still pleaded not guilty or maybe it’s a unique trait of a certain demographic to believe your own lies when you tell them enough despite being caught in the act.

I’d go with that Dan … I was at my sisters at the weekend in east anglia , she has a large weeping ash that is not showing barely any signs at all of die back , I’ve not seen a live one in Northumberland, they seem particularly susceptible to it here.. looking down the valley yesterday I can just seen pockets of dead trees now that are all ash.

Not forestry but one of the best climber/tree workers to this day I’ve ever seen was diabetic, lots of insulin but he seemed to have it under control.

Seems a shame not to have put the burr on eBay once I’d milled it… I’ve just seen one burr plank for £600 😂😂 I don’t think me with some big screws has done it any justice… I think I’m going to have a rummage and see what I have left !

Live edge boot rack of burr elm, finished in resin for a wipe clean finish… one of my favourite timbers.

I have the same thoughts , we have a big tunnel that was skinned 12 year ago , it lasted ten years because it wasn’t consistently tight but was an absolute ball ache to get on ... to be fair it may have lasted 15 if they hadn’t clear felled that side of the valley but I’m not sure if we can justify re skinning it now for the cost of the plastic , I’m tempted to move it and use as a thermal kiln.
