I dont climb but do a lot of chainsaw work on riverbanks, and i love these boots, and super comfy out the box, like putting a pair of slippers on lovely and warm in winter yet cool enough in summer and super waterproof

in your second picture there is black bit of plastic on the side of the rear handle under that on the side of the case there should be an ID plate

Herbicide Application Rates and re application
Charlieh replied to Mike Hill's topic in General chat
just as an idea, and this is how i have done it on wetland sites doing scrub clearance, fell it using a clearing saw which should blitz through what you have described, then either treat the stumps directly or using an auger bit drill a well into the stump and pour a 20% mixture into the wells. I know this may seem a bit slow but if you have 3 people, one on the clearing saw, one drilling and one stump treating you can cover a large area in a day. Also you should get a very high kill rate even in wetland conditions. I wouldnt even entertain folair spraying of willow on wetland sites, NB the drilling a well with an auger is now the EA's prefered method for stump treatment on wetland sites over here. -
Herbicide Application Rates and re application
Charlieh replied to Mike Hill's topic in General chat
Am i right in reading this as you are foliar spraying willow regen from small stumps? or are you treating the stump directly? -

no one uses prop corn anymore as it rots the kit to quickly! oh and its just an excuse for bad farming practise, father in law keeps wanting me to put an applicator on the baler for spraying balers choice proprionic on so we can get on the hay a bit sooner

My old County on Ebay
Charlieh replied to Chris Sheppard's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
is it also the same one advertised in the back of FJ this month, but it doesnt list any of the bits just the 1164 and FMV roof mount -
my .25-06 is a T3 but has a shortened barrel so that may not be helping, but i have found winchester and remington the best through mine, and to be honest the winchesters are about £1.90 a shot but i may use 20 on a range day, so just under £40's worth and then probably that again through a season. so not huge amounts of cost for me. for the cost of £1 saving in a bullet for a deer carcase i cant see the point in cheap ammo unless your working for DCS I like to have a deer rifle that shoots consistantly in any conditions sub 1.5" groups any more than that and there are getting to many variables, but a lot of my shooting isnt woodlands its open ground. How many rounds a year are you using?
-
tired them in a couple of rifles didnt like them, If your buying a load make sure you buy plenty from the same batch as there isnt the consistancy with premium rounds, alright for range work but I didnt find them good enough to want to stalk with them, but that was a few years back that said its very rifle dependant, my .25-06 shoots wildly different groups with different ammo from stuggling to hit an A4 sheet at 100mtrs with winchester balistic silvers in 85grn to cloverleaving them at 200 with 117grns
-
its one of the ones being made under license in China, so not a fake but not really a 100% real stihl
-
smaller Keto 51 (37cm dia cut, 460Kg weight) is probably best a 100 (45cm dia cut, but 700kg head)may be a bit much, There was a 51 in the classified in the back FJ last month suitable for roof mount with its own oil cooler etc. may be worth a call

We used to have some at my parents old house before the moved, fantastic things I seem to remember they only flowered every other year though?
-
it was a big tree, just measured on the aerial photos and the crown extends 24.5mtrs across at the widest point Did you get any photos this afternoon of the stem being felled?
-
tbh im sorry I went and fetched the guys out the woods on Friday to try and help them out as the limb dropped across the drive trapping the builders vehicles in. I dont think it helps that certain people in the village cant butt out and there were people who have know idea or knowledge of tree work apparently telling them what it should cost over the weekend. Im so sorry about this one guys. You think you know people, then they pull tricks like this! had you noticed the big new clearview stove being fitted?
-
A tragic shame that is. I saw a huge beech shed a limb today, on a site thats basically open to the pubic. I drove over quickly it had narrowly missed squashing a Discovery, it worried me as the site owner had only been there a few minutes before.

softrac and flail or an AVS skidsteer type machine would be best bet or a set up such as a lgp 360 with flail on it, such as this which belongs to a member on here ( LGPeddie )

fubar'd oh and if you spend 75quid with mr solutions at the moment you get a little magnetic bowl for nuts and bolts free! win win
-
cool, just wanted to check as you would be supprised what some people will do, sounds like your fairly clued up and have some guidance as well, just didnt want to be advising someone on buying a saw to then have them go and tackle some big nasty windblow and have an accident
-
right this is a different ball game. Are the trees attached to the root plates still? is the timber under lots of tension? do you have any felling experience? which CS units do you have? if the answer to the first two questions is yes you want to be really really really careful as its not just a case of cutting through trunks it can be exceptionally dangerous doing storm damaged trees. IF your doing bigger storm damaged stuff then you want the a longer bar if possible so you can put yourself as far from the danger and use the saw and arms reach so your further from and hazards if the trunk shifts or springs up.
