    Nothing is making it better. Can't get e4 either so can't watch Die Hard insted. Also my DVD player isn't working so i can't enjoy a dvd. Stupid Home entertainment systems.

    I use Hiax protector pros. Had 3 pairs and nearly time for a 4th. Last about a year to 18 months. Not bad considering. I use to use Treeme boots before that which was fine until all of a sudden they ripped my feet to shreds.

    I did it a few years ago. Again i was suprised in how indepth some of it was.

    thats around 2500 stools a ha. looking on my tarrif tables the volume with a 4cm at 6m would be 0.015m3 per stem. So if you took 5 stems a stool and at 2500ha you'd get a 187m3/ha. Think my maths is right. Think the best thing to do is to get out there and measure a sample area and work out a standing volume.

    Cool. The gold mine was really good looking forward to the logging one. I shall set a reminder now.

    Its something that i wouldn't mind giving a go. Although i think i'd rather go Canada it does look a little safer over there.

    I know someone who did CS31 at Oaklands. I think they pass you onto they guy who does the CS30 directly to do 31. Can't think of anywhere else that you could go. I guess their must be a shortage of sites hence the price. I've just put together a windblown course 34/35 with a member on here and we paid 450 quid for both course combined. Have you tried BTS training?

    I like your company name. Get your self some insurance and an accountant is helpful too.

    I know someone with a 7 tonne Eurotrailer with a little Farma crane on it. Wouldn't do what i need it to do but for them its fantasic. Will lift 300kg at reach. The whole lot came in at less than a half bigger crane.

    Is that at Shuttleworth in Beds? Have you tried Caple Manor in Enfield, Oaklands College in St. Albans. £820 quid seems steep closer to 600 would seem right.

    It was a sideline thing. The thing was that we got more money for the wood as fire wood than more making charcoal. I didn't really do anything below 2" or so for charcoal. Even at that size it was really at the bottom as sacrifical wood or at the top to convert or part convert to burn next time. The tiny stuff we always tried to make artists charcoal with. As for making it, it was great fun. Was good to set light to it about 8 or 9 in the morning and by 8 ish it was done. We only used oil drum size kilns but had 3 or 4 going at a time. Its well worth making yourself a grading sive if you don't have one.

    I've got a Botex its an old one but its very good. Used the new 560TL and its VERY good 2.8t lift close in and 500kg odd at 6m. Friend of mine has an FMV crane roof mount again very good. Check out Kelsa cranes from caladonian forestry services looking at getting ones of those over a Botex at the moment. A roof mounted crane is very different to a tellihandler why the change? Its about 67k for a new Valtra N111 with a 570TL roof mount crane.

    I'd go for the 346xpg with a 13" bar. It is so fantastic i have one myself. I use to use it for charcoal thinnings. Its done so big trees too about 30" across too so its good all rounder. The 357 is a bit bigger but i doubt you'll need the extra grunt. Go for the 346 and you won't be disapointed. Worth saving up the extra to get it.

    Not seen anything specific but do you have the FC Forest Fencing book. Might be of use. As could this http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/fcpn9.pdf/$FILE/fcpn9.pdf Have you phones a local college see if they could set something up for you?

    Sound like you you need something like ESRI ArcGIS. Get a map of school grounds maybe a geocorrected airphoto too. Plot your trees with GPS add them to the map. Add the survey data as metadata to each tree. You can quite easy get a services data layer and add that to the map too. Also add risk zones too. ArcGIS is very powerful bit of softwear normally what county councils use. Its also very expensive and is prehaps much more complex and overly complicated for what you need. But i'm quite sure it would do the job extreamly well if you put all the data into it.

    If you have it why not? Why take a skid steer or a chipper or a mwep. All bits of kit to make your life easier and safer.
  20. Brushcutter
    Why? I've knocked ground anchors into peoples lawn before to winch from, or even set up the winch off the back of the truck.

    Winches are your friend. Doing some windblown stuff in December i shall try to make a video of some more aproved methods over here. Infact its the UK's NPTC windblown and multipul windblow course.

    Hi What do all do with your sawdust. We have a big Stenner 41 bandsaw for milling and it makes a lot of dust. It all goes through an extractor where its bagged up. However we just cant get rid of it is there a machine that can turn it into something useful pelets, fire bricks? Or is there someone to sell it to? Thanks Andy

    A few more of tree.

    Well someone, but it failed on quite a calm night and the guy who lives on the farm at the bottom of the hill which it is on hurd it go. It was one of those trees that was waiting to fail. It was probally a graft failure yes, it also had merip and Griffola as well. One of the nastist trees i've had to clear up to date. Keeping Joe public out the way was a pain.

    Big Beech failed and came down with a big big bang. Could be hurd a mile away
