    I think you only need the full 3day if your managing over 50people you should be ok on EFAW+F This is the table from FC guidelines as you can see for harvesting ops where there are two people minimum you should have EFAW+F (1day) if you deem you need the FAW+F (3day) then its your decission, but my understanding is that for most forestry ops the 1day is sufficent as long as you have multiple qualified persons on site.

    anywhere between £6.50 and £9.50/meter for sheep netting and two barb on top on steep difficult hand fencing sites the posts will be rubbish from most places as all the stuff we have had recently have been treated whilst the timber is still green so it hasnt soaked in. You can tell by the weight of the posts if you pick them up, if they are lighter they are probaby better posts

    mine came with a load of spares so not need to source any although i seem to remember there were plenty on ebay last time i looked, I stick with parafin in mine as it can get seriously hot with that in it. I would stay away from hedge bottoms with it! trust me

    I have found them good but you do need to work as instructed by doing two passes several days apart. My biggest grumble is constantly having to unblock the jet as it seems to clog very easily and this can effect the effectiveness of it as otherwise it wont burn at full temperature.

    they are harmless, just look like they could do serious harm

    Had a meeting with the o p's friends company yesterday, I have to say these guys are professional and everything is being properly designed and tested they are developing some seriously handy kit. Im looking forward to getting my hands on some of it for testing over winter, I think these guys are coming at everything from the right direction and I will be really keen to see the development of some of their ideas over the coming months/years and wish them all the best at it. Any no unfortunatly at this time I cant give any more info on their ideas as it wouldnt be fair

    just a quick bump to add a new document by FC on management of dead wood in forests and woodlands http://www.forestry.gov.uk/PDF/FCPG020.pdf/$FILE/FCPG020.pdf I think i may have posted this elsewhere but i figured posting it again wouldnt hurt

    ok i will accept the first one, but i have keyed out the 2nd and im getting cappadocian maple? which would explain the regen (suckering) and some of it being nearly tree sized. That said im willing to stand corrected, but i dont think its norway the leaves arent right for it, and there were a lot like this so not a one off
  19. Charlieh
    any help on the ID of these please, first one is some sort of holly but very odd looking, the 2nd is some sort of acer but its naturally regenerating a lot more prolifically that even sycamore does, the area surrounding the tree in the woodland is overrun with the stuff. Cheers Charlie EDIT: is the first one holly leaved cherry?
  20. Charlieh
    here is the biggest one i can think of close to me or in any of the blocks i manage with the wife beside it for scale and this is a lot bigger than they normally get round here

    our other kit is dewalt but i've not been impressed with the impact drivers, certainly not in the same league as the others available
  22. Charlieh
    ok so the makita seems to do the work, despite being the lowest power. I hadnt come across the ingersoll so thats another one to seriously look at. Im like the fact the snap on has a higher torque for breaking the nuts of by about 35% more than all the others. lots to think about, cheers guys
  23. Charlieh
    I am increasingly finding myself needing to undo very tight nuts and bolts on tractors, farm machinery and small scale kit, so Im after some thoughts on cordless impact wrenchs. Im looking at the following: Snap on 18v 1/2" drive 4850HO/6850/7850 depending on what i can drop on fleabay (most likily be a tidy used one) facom 19.2v 1/2" drive (new) online makita btw450 18v 1/2" (new) local dealers I would appreciate any feedback on them if anyone has use the above models no comments about buying knackered kit please

    SE is the older denomination used for pro saws before being switched to using xp eg you had a 154se this then became a 254xp! the G always denotes heated handles so SG or XPG will have heated handles on them.
