they all have pros and cons, here was LGPEddies stroke Patu, very good delimbing power although the video only shows delimbed poles going through this would be better on things like birch and sweet chestnut coppice here is Logbarons Nokka they had in some larch very fast at processing timber without large brashy limbs but not the delimbing power of the stroke processor, definitely the tool in smaller conifers though if your seriously looking into bed processors then a trip to one of the European shows is well worth while as you get a much wider range of kit to look at these are a few I took at elmia last summer

We use handheld steam cleaners for cleaning saws post phytopthora work, currently using a Bissell steam shot and this works very well as it has nice fine nozzles so you can get in everywhere with it, and ensure your saw is pest and disease free

Slew pot seals need doing, you will need to do all 4 normally to ensure you replace the offending one

I agree they are a fantastically versatile bit of kit that I think with a decent bit of marketing behind them could shift a nice few units per year. I hope that one of the dealers that lennartsfors have been in talks with takes on the dealership for the soon.

well I have finally ordered the bits I need, now coming direct from Sweden so I guess artcom cant have a stock of parts as it was only a drive sprocket I needed which I would think is a wear item they would have had. £15+vat for postage on something that will take 5 working days to arrive as well
-
I was advised at Elmia last summer to deal with the French dealers and its looking like I will have to start looking for bits overseas as Im getting fed up trying to sort bits in the UK
-
Anyone know who is best to contact regarding parts for a jonsered iron horse now Not sure if a new importer was sorted or do I need to keep persevering with artcom
-
they are nice no doubt, but its a lot bigger than I need really (200ltrs max), and at £600 with no pumping gear its going to be a bit more than I want to spend, also I don't have anything to grab it with so if I'm lifting it in and out with the pallet tines I would rather have something specifically designed for these. If I was running a small forwarder in remote woodlands thought I would definitely have one of these or one of the small Clarke ones

are they hibernating in the building? (over winter) as this is unusual (unless its a huge stone building) or are they just roosting there (spring-autumn)? if its a maternity roost this will mean more strict planning design but for the most part a well designed loft will satisfy local authority ecologists at the planning stage. Most bat consultants can liaise with your architect to design something to accommodate the bats. It may just mean leaving a certain area of open loft space, or a restriction in the use of the room below if its a maternity roost to prevent excessing disturbance (eg not a lounge or actively used room, maybe a bedroom etc!)

Cheers for all the replies I don't like the wheely bin types as I cant stand them in the back of the truck to drive round with easily Will have a chat with you about the cube, probably a bit substantial for what I need but if it fits the bill and will probably last better than the plastic ones. I will pop into Stoddards for a look. That would be possible, if you could get me a price for something between 100-200ltrs that would be ace I didn't think under 250ltrs had to be bunded in a vehicle, but I would rather have a bunded tank especially if its plastic as a puncture in it could be awkward

I am looking into ways of transporting diesel to site without having to resort to sloshing jerry cans around on especially with grass harvesting time not a million miles away and increasingly needing to fill smaller kit up away from the yard I have been looking at these two 200litre Portable Tank c w 12v Pump - agri-shop Cemo mobile diesel tank dispenser 200 litres 12 volt pump these just look handy for in the back of the truck for on site, I haven't found a bunded one yet in this style. I think these would be better on sensitive sites than lifting jerry cans and risking having dead vegetation where filling tractors etc from spilt diesel. The downside is the price as they seem quite pricey for what they are as the pumps, hoses, fittings etc can be bought for about £100-120 so that means the plastic tanks are >£350 does anyone use anything like this or know of suppliers of a bunded one?

We got a duck-pond, where do I claim the expenses?

I guess you had planning permission??? -
If you can pry Greg out the cab? He'll be going soft

Its not Lord's and ladies its skunk cabbage so it must be damp ground It can have some negative side effects on stock so probably worth doing some reading on it. I seem to recall you need to dig it out rather than spray it.

What size? Volund engineering near Telford make a small one about 2 1/2ft across with the feet and chimneys etc, very well made and fits in the back of a landy easily

The Deere is just a Renault in Deere colours not a great tractor compared to other jd's of a similar age and this is reflected in the pricing

I told you, you would just end welding a 50mm towhitch on the blade

I run a 13" sugi light weight pro bar on my 346 and 560 one of the only bars that will withstand the acceleration of the newer generation of husky saws

cant you just put a couple of keyhole sliders on to the rope or is there an issue with these on the dyneema

Conflicting advice about coppicing alder
Charlieh replied to spandit's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I have coppiced a lot even in summer and had good regrowth by winter! you want to let it get bigger than hazel/birch would normally be coppiced at but as a firewood coppice timber its great -
(First post) Planting a native woodland, East Sussex
Charlieh replied to spandit's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
out of interest why aren't you putting a higher % of useable species in the woodland as I would say with that amount of different species in it, including a lot of shrub/scrub species the oak and beech wont do that well with out a lot of intervention management. Also do yourself a favour and bin the blackthorn as they will spread like crazy and spread through the woodland and the results will be higher management cost when it comes to doing thinning work. I have seen some blocks in the national forest recently that are now basically blackthorn thicket and they have suppressed everything else and the best option really is to mulch the lot down and replant! Is the farmland registered for single farm payments as well? because by utilizing morewoods you wont be able to claim this in the future as its a non RDPE funded scheme. -
my understanding is its per holding. If the woods were all on the same farm/estate then its 5cu per quarter, if the woods are all on separate holdings eg separate estates but under the same overall ownership and they are run as separate then you can utilise the 5cu on each separate holding, if that makes sense
