Hi I'm looking do winblown/multipul windblow course but i can't find anywhere to do it. Anybody running a course soon or know of one going on. Wanted to do it for ages Thanks Andy

I've found steel bar about half inch round is better than wire mesh. Our Massy 4345 has a mesh guard about an inch square on it and its useless. If you get near it with the crane you know the log is comming through the window. As for supplyers i think the tractor shop sold the stuff. Good luck i'd love to know how to weald.

Some nice coppice cutting there. I like the tractor frame for carrying the poles.

I've always used the Husky ones. The 325HD60x is good i like the balance on it, bit on the heavy side. The rear rotating handle is nice helps with doing long runs of hedge. Vibes aren't bad, cuts quite well too.

I went to Flying Legends at Duxford in July. You have never seen so many Cannon cameras and lenses in one place. The guy next to me had a pair of Eos 1s with some very long fast lenses.

I have the Nikon D90. Fantastic camera take it everywhere i go. Also has a HD movie mode which can be quite cool. I use the 18-105vr lense on it which gives really nice photos. I want a 10-20mm Sigma wide angle lense next. I've had a play with some Cannon cameras but always go back to Nikon. Cropped and scaled down from the D90.

I learnt to use both ends of the climbing line with either a blakes or prussic. I also had a 3 strand side strop 2 meters long with a prussic on it. I now climb on a 37m of Yale XTC fire with either a blakes or VT depending on the tree. I have a yale XTC side strop which is 5 meters and always has a VT on it. I've treied a few other ropes but like the yale ones. I loved my Samson Velocity till someone decided they needed it more than i did and took it. Could only use a prussic on that the VT always jammed up.

Well thats ruined my navara for me.

Was at the local chainsaw shop getting some bits and he said he had some in. They look like they will be very sung, very snug indeed. I think i'll be sticking with Strech Airs.

Sound like a Hilux was it one of the new ones? The one we had a work was rubbish. Spent a lot of time at Toyota whos customer service was shockingly poor. Needed a new bumper for it and i think it was nearly 500 quid. Also the paint came off when we pressure washed it. I have a Navara and i'd get another. I've always wanted my own Landy so i can put silly accessories on it that i'll never use. Fortunatly we have many landys on the estate for playing with. Which means i can have the comfort and economy of the navara for the trip home.
-
I quite like the Ranger i know some real die hard fans of the japanese pickups have gone over to them. I still think i'd have another navara though.

Here are a few of the pictures from our trip out in the woods.

I have to drive up saturday look around then back down saturday night to go to work on sunday

Husky 339xp Its the 338xpt in rear handle form. Fast nimble and rather well blanaced. I tend to use my 13" 346xpg in the tree since the 200t broke. The 346 is a bit big for smaller stuff but thats what handsaws are for its also the best groundsaw for limbing up and reasonable size felling.

I've done the 4 day first aid at work one with St. Johns. Always worth having one person with that. The one day emergency first aid is good to have if you can't afford/dont want to do the 4 day one.
-
This any good to you? Forestry equipment - Harvesters - Timberjack 1070 C - Mascus UK Lot of gear going cheap in Ireland at the moment. A contract who does work for us just got a few diggers and dumper from over there.
-
Yea Pitstone Windmill would be closer i can meet you there 5.30ish. I'll be in the blue Nissan pickup.
-
Friday would be best for me. If we meet up the top at the tea hut we can drive over to the beacon and take a look at the fungi.
-
I do mean beacon rather than becon silly spelling mistake. It's just by the car park. I could meet you there one day after work and show you?
-
Its it beds but near as damn to herts. Its on the Becon Road in the block of Beeches just below the Becon Car park.
-
Hi I've looked on the fungi directory and i can't find this. I have no idea what it is. It's slightly slimy to the touch and its living in the butress of a largish beech tree. Thanks for any help Andy

Oak Tree: Felling, Extraction, Milling, Final Product

Nice felling. As said about the PPE also a good pair of gloves would be good kill a few vibes of the old saw. Weld or bolt a bit of guard around that drive belt if possable, might save a figer or too. Nice stuff otherwise i'll have to dig out some of my pictures of our mill. Got a Stenner 41 bandsaw Robinsons Resaw a Maggi radial arm saw a Wadkin thicknesser and a robinsons morticer. Why choker the log so high so the butt doesn't lift up? -
NPTC tractor with hitching an implment/trailer and loader use is useful but i've used my forest (FMO 1.3) much more.
-
Ok fantastic thats about an hour from me so its doable. I'll give you a ring tomorrow.

I love my 357xpg and its taken a lot and i do mean a lot of abuse. Its been dropped several times. Its had trees land on it several time most of which have only dented the plastic case. Its been hit by some big timber rolling on which left it un harmed. Some more big timber rolled on it which broke part of the case but that stuck together with liquid stel. It got hit by something heavy more than likely a top of some sort which broke the top two cooling fins on the cylinder and bent the spark plug. After all of that and 5 years of forestry its still going strong. Fantastic little saw tough to choose between it and the 346. The only thing is that it does like to break needle bearings a lot.
