If you can get a decent top diameter out of those bigger Larches then ie 30+ you should be able to get some longer length logs out that are more in demand. Can you not sell on top diameter volume for sawlogs? That is a monster tree in your picture!!!

I've herd due to its very poor burning characteristics its used for making fire doors and other things in Oak that need to have a good fire rating. Other than that it stinks when you cut it. Its heavier than you think it otherwise would be. It has a lot of sap wood, it doesn't burn very well. It always seems to cut on the wonk. Oh and did i mention that it really smells when you cut it?

Forest Mensuration: A handbook for practitioners £23.95 - Forestry & Silviculture Treesource Thats the thing. Sorry forgot to paste it in.

Whats a paddle hammer? Is that like a boot flail? I wonder if you will struggle to find anything substantial because of the power requirement. Have you tried the Spaldings catalog see if there are any in there.

This is what you want all you ever wanted to know are more. And enough maths do get you a GCSE if you like that sort of thing. TCD has sold a lot of Larch so i'd guess his figures are spot on but I've just checked the book and it says mine are right.
-
I thought Larch was higher than that 1.11 for EL and 1.2 for HL/JL.
-
Is that a world wide thing or just here in the UK. I only ask as what we put through the head is a lot bigger and and bushier than it is ever going to get in Scandinavia. -
Ah a few more. The nice Sampo and Pro Silva for smaller thinnings. Another Pro Silva 910 but this time with a multi stemming bio energy head, parked next to the JD 1070.
-
At least nobody is ever going to steal it.

Quite a few 390s had aftermarket turbos put on to give them a bit more poke.
-
What a fantastic attitude!! That's a lovely photo as well. Wishing you all the best.

I'm not sure if Fox is bigger than Beaver or not i think its just newer and different. Both can take the C5 and C6 heads and have the same crane on so the business end is the same. I think Mike Gillette got one. I think the the 1070 cab is a little cosy, mostly filled up with the chair. At least the Ponsse chair goes all the way around and has a huge cab that you can fit at least 3 people in 4 at a squeeze.
-
I didn't spend too much time in the 901. I like the visibility of the side mounted crane. The cab is a little cramped and the button layout is unusual. It Was nice i was so use to JD and Ponnse that it was all a little new. I did so much in the 1270 that it was easier for me to jump into 1070. If i had a choice of what thinnings harvester i had i would choose Ponnse Beaver. Or Ergo if we're you want a bigger machine, but not with the silly telescopic/parallel crane thing with the wheel of hoses on. Give me a proper parallel crane.

Anyone actually manage to sell or use sawdust?
Brushcutter replied to william127's topic in Firewood forum
Long shavings like those that come from a plane are wanted for horse/small animal bedding. Dust is only good for chickens maybe pigs. I always just use to give it away. It was always going that way. I know a guy who sells the saw dust from his processor for 50p a bag and that sells. -
Neighbours gardener using my woodland as a dump
Brushcutter replied to Hamburglar's topic in General chat
It's fly tipping. Obviously you have to prove it. If it was me I'd go and have a word and remind them that they're responsible for the way the gardener disposes of their rubbish. If he comes on a Tuesday sit in your woodland then and see if he does it. Then confront him if he is get a photo and say if its not gone by tomorrow you'll contact the EA, Police and local council. -
A Few more. I seem to of misplaced my folder with the 901 and the 1070 in.

Pro Silva I've been to their factory over in Finland. Are HSM not a German company that makes steep decent harvesters with the extra oil pumps and sumps with a big winch on the back?
-
A tracked Pro silva i think they have a UK agent now. It was a very good machine in the wet. Those pics were in a unfreezing swamp in March. Very nice machine basically a Timberjack 1270 with a few extra bits. The second is their 4 wheel harvester. Something that has never really taken off here. I know their about mainly the Timberjack 870(?) but i'd of thought they would be great for all the smaller wood around the UK and the hardwood too. Guess a 1070 size machine can do more. I have seen the walking JD machine too it lives out the back of a JD dealership in Tampere.

Brushcutter replied to Johny Walker's topic in Insurance Forum
Nfu want £740 for my navara this year. 10 years no claims 8 of which with nfu. I'm going to ring around other offices but Royston seems to be fleasing me. -
Yes i saw that too. I've seen drive trailers push themselves and the valmet their on out of deep snow and wet mud over in Finland. Never driven one myself though. Just make sure you have a big enough tractor or than can wind up the back end.

Slower than Botex?
-
I knew a Moheda with a 6m on it would be around 50k but i had no idea the Palms would be around 25k. That is Botex money. Who may i ask is selling these trailers at such a price? The palms have a nice ladder chassis, a +/- 40 degree steering draw bar and the rams are very well guarded. Also has a breaking link between the extension and the rotor. The legs are quite substantial too. It was very well built. The hydraulic tank is right behind the headboard though and i think it could do with a bump plate in front of it. KTS and Vreten also might be worth a look. Saw both at the same demo and they're very good. Again slightly less well know brands. The KTS trailers come well specd and the Vreten had some very nice little features on them.
-
I saw the Palms 15d at the SIMA show earlier in the year. It looked very good didn't ask on price though. What about a Moheda trailer and crane? Or one of the new Farma G2 trailers.
-
Depends on what the buyer will pay for them. Somewhere in the region of 20-60 a tonne depending on what your cutting. Quality determines price more size. Saying that if you can get a decent top diameter say over 40cm at a 5m then you do have some good logs. Assuming they make the grade.
