I would say look for a used FS400 it would be far better spending the money on that than a FS90, you will kick yourself buying that smaller machine for brambles

you sure your qualified to do that sure beats the hell out of a tirfor!!

:lol:

Hi Just wondered what the rough ball park going rate for processor sized mixed hardwoods was down in Essex, I am aware of some nice beech that went through a harvester recently making £45/t at rideside, so what would mixed hardwoods be roughly at rideside. Bareing in mind it wants shifting not sitting there for 10months waiting for top dollar Any input from the local guys would be most appreciated, im not sure of exact volumes yet but there would be at least 40tons, or if anyone is aware of local firewood guys who may be interested drop us a PM cheers Charlie

was supposed to be felling dead alders today, was on site and the top 15ft drop snapped out of one, about 50ft from where we had people working . decided enough was enough and stopped, time for a bit of tea drinking and xbox now .

also should mention that different species of bats will require different types of box, so its worth finding out which species the boxes are in mitigation for and getting boxes that are appropriately designed for the species

the schwegler bat boxes are the best on the market, suppliers like alana ecology and others stock them but they arent cheap but have a very high uptake by bats, but in the grand scheme of a development they are not that expensive,

is that off label use for neat stump treatment, as im pretty sure thats not approved for neat usage:confused1:

straight away within an hour of cutting them, and bore into the stump with the bar and do some crosses on top foliar spray would be best quick question are these on a river bank? if so you will need to notify the EA really for consent

would be interested if it come in cheaper than aspen, not sure i could deal with 200ltr drum though, would it be availabe in smaller amounts eg 20ltr drums

I sold mine about a month ago, still not sure if i did the right thing but it wasnt getting the use, fantastic amount of power and really aggressive when cutting

Dales agricultural and rural training (DART) based near derbyDart Learning - worth giving them a call, either that or reaseheath up near nantwich (a bit outside your area i know) but they run it most months as part of the groundskeeping courses so normally have places available

Nope , will be helping a mate out its his kit, but I will be on the planter, its on an 8150 hitech so plenty of horse's for pulling it

dont have any yet will get some sorted and put them up when its on the tractor and out on a job, will try and sort a video

Hi Just a heads up if anyone is doing any large planting schemes, I can now offer a planting service using a tractor mounted planter with operators, good work rates capable of planting everything from 15cm to 90cm plants. We can do conifers and broadleaves, and new hedges! so if your doing any planting or look to do planting and want a quote then drop me a message on here. Machine is based in N Staffordshire, but will work over Derbyshire and the Midlands, or anywhere in England if the jobs worth it. Cheers for looking Charlie

they will turn felling licenses round no problem (basically over the phone on easy sites), but when they are part of a management plan they wont authorise them without a site visit etc etc etc

bloody hell who pissed you off as someone who does some advisory the biggest organisation getting in the way is the FC I have several blocks of unmanaged woodland I advise on, all of which i want timber to come out of, but FC are being so slack at authorising management plans (which on these sites includes felling licenses) and where relevent paying the woodland improvement grant funding that most are at a standstill to be honest if they scrapped felling licenses or made the system quicker and made it so the local offices werent over 2 1/2hrs away with staff on restricted driving distances, then the situation may be easier, tbh im aware of 4 sites round here where timber is being felled without the relevent paperwork in place, purely in frustration of FC not being quick enough at sorting the consents out. They should be stripped of any grant/licensing/consenting works and have that aspect passed on the Natural England which would make the whole process much more streamlined (and then the rest can be privatised )

107cc would be closer from memory more like the 070 unless its a contra S or lightning S in which case the are 137cc

nope its a contra or lightning i think, but not an 090

Forestry Commission Wales - BWW - Calculating WIG this may be of some use to you to have a read through

FC's woodland improvement grant, and probably first apply for the woodland management plan grant, so you can spec up the work that wants doing, and then apply for funds to help sort it out, although it looks like FC's budget is going to be cut by 25% next year so best be quick in the new year
