  1. Keep in a warm place like direct sunlight..I've dried them in a green house for a few days and they should open up. Multiple leaders ? Trees usually form with 1 leader, multiple leaders are created by removing the dominant leader so all other branches struggle for dominance resulting in multiple leaders. Good luck any way. Even after extracting the seeds they can be difficult to germinate, cold stratification helps.
  2. Zoom in on the photo on the link and I recon it's a 395 replacement.., to big to be any thing else.
  3. Haha , maybe mulls still trying to justify his own extreme political views , was it not him said he would want an independent Scotland by any means necessary? Sorry to disappoint you mull the rich Nigel's down in the city of London inflicting poverty on the rest of the UK have nothing to do with indoctrination that some muslims put on there children that any one who lives out side the Koran should die. From what I've seen and I've only met muslims from Pakistan and Pashtuns from the borders they come from a violent culture , they have won every war they have fought and are proud of this they believe they are warriors and they won these wars as it was a jihad and culturally I suppose it's all they have as most people here just see them as just a dirty paki .. so they go back in to there culture and find some thing are proud of and its religiously oriented in there frustrations it gets twisted... lad I'm working with today's sister married a Pashtun he's a nice lad but looks down on us as all unbelievers and sees are society as corrupt because it's lacking in religion. He does not want to change us but does have a strong belief in fighting for what he thinks is right and wrong ... like decking the cyclist that cut him up the other day.
  4. From my experience that is not the case , the first thing to go would be any tree work or landscaping ideas.. also most of these folk are people who are already mortgaged up to the hilt , obviously I'm not talking about the occasional large land owner but if it hits over 10 million homes as it's predicted it will be a disaster.
  5. I think it's fair to assume we are all doing alright when it comes to finding work at the moment, what happens if labour gets in and the proposed garden tax takes place and homes will be at least getting 2-4K a year more tax, these are homes that most of us provide a service too , it will knock the arb industry massively... maybe even destroying most of our work is my thought.
  6. Gateshead has always been a labour strong hold though mark.. nothing new ... I could not see any one voting con there and never would it's been indoctrinated by there parents and there parents before them that they vote for the working mans party. What's interesting is I've seen people switch views on Corbin.
  7. Also arming every militia in the Middle East to take out Bashar to not involve our military in an another illegal war again didn't help this either. This storm has been a long time brewing I'm pretty sure back in the 80's 90's MI5 would of actually encouraged British muslims to join the jihad in Afghan against the russians maybe why the first generation of English muslims could get away with training for jihad .. not that they still can't! Now due to company's like BAE systems thirst for money and leaving every corner of the third world a war zone to trial weapons and trade trillions in them we are knacked ! Don't think the people control the governments it's BAE , Lockheed Martin and other such organisations who instigated all these wars in the first place that do.
  8. I imagine the 395-390-372 down to emission regs And the first gen auto tuned 576 just from rumours are too change... will they change the lot in one hit though.. so is the release going to be a saw or saws is a better question?

    My new dog.

    Does any body else's dog go berserk when they tip there arb truck up? Mine has always done this since a pup but over the last few months I've noticed him nipping the wiring from the hydraulic tank and I've just gone out in the yard to find he's chewed through it!
  10. Think the land agent is pulling the pish then , I know he expects the timber to be offset against other work they are expecting to pay for. Was just wondering if I was missing something in the value , last oversized beech we got was less than that road side.
  11. Any body have a price per tonne for standing beech , this is final thinning so trees are around 80years old so not the ease of a clear fell. As I've been told they have offered £45 a tonne standing!
  12. It didn't go wrong ,Survived the recession ...it grew slowly got better under the coalition and then seemed to explode when it went , confidence in spending ? but I was not expecting the grow that much and all... I can think of all my brickie and plumber mates who moved of to OZ and NZ as there was nothing here... just about every building site had shut down.
  13. Old news eggs... is it relevant after his trident u turn though?? Probably not https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/british-army-could-stage-mutiny-under-corbyn-says-senior-serving-general-10509742.html%3Famp https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/almost-nobody-would-support-generals-military-coup-against-jeremy-corbyn-poll-finds-a6698521.html%3Famp I think his u turn on trident and seemingly to drop his complete pacifist stance as it was upsetting a few folk in the MOD could of been down to the above ..so it probably would not happen hey? Unless he does a u turn again.
  14. I remember when we all wanted change where sick of the Torys, fox hunting the criminal justice act and Tory scandals and voted labour in last time it was refreshing for about 5 minutes before Tony the tit started a war on a nation that had never been beaten not even by the British empire and Russians at there heights of power and that would start a chain of events that where obvious from the beginning doomed, Cool Britannia turned in to fool Britannia ..I won't list the catalog of disasters that followed as I think we are all aware but this is main reason is for me never again!! I started a business up in the last 5 years of there reign and it was stagnant to failing ,so in that respect I would never vote labour again I don't think any one who was self employed who wants to see there business grow would either ?? I genuinely admire Corbin, I am not sure he would go back to his roots and be trusted though ... I think if he was elected there would be a military coup anyway.
  15. Stolen saws are not broken for parts? Which I seriously doubt they are myself.
  16. We have a John Deere 2650 along side the valmet and it didn't have enough spools or flow I forget which.. maybe both to power the 360.
  17. Sounds like the perfect machine for you then! They are good and I can imagine the 400 is a bit better for arb waste ... I don't think anything is perfect for arb waste though unless every one is very disciplined in there cutting but the arb discipline is get it down and out and in the back of the truck with no thought at all for presenting the timber for processing later even with the best will it didn't seem to happen.
  18. Another thing is you have to have a tractor that is compatible to the machine which rules out a lot of older tractors.
  19. To be honest as long you could get it in the chamber it would cope with any thing , Round was better but it did cope with irregular fine , It was just making it fit the chamber which was the problem from memory. Easier with a crane and log deck but for your set up sounds like it would work well ... why not extract the timber in lengths instead of rings in the first place though?
  20. From memory the rings are better round because of the way it feeds them in on the conveyor, it's the way the machine works , they are an expensive machine as well .. in the right Wöod seriously quick but we got rid of ours for a bigger processor as you can chuck two /3 rings in to a processor and it also does not matter if they are irregular shaped, brought it with the intention of making arb waste a breeze but it didn't really unless it was the perfect size, we had the 360 the 400 is slightly larger but looks like an identical machine.
  21. Don't really see the point in them in unless your making kindling , you still have to load the rings and cut them by hand to load on the conveyor so any amount of time it saves is doubled with sawing and handling , plus they are limited to size of rings going to the infeed so rules out a lot of arb waste.
  22. I'd love to mate but not my vids or pics , one of them is from quite a prominent instagram American tree worker though. Good to know mark. 👍🏻
