Potential firewood yield from coppice woodland
Brushcutter replied to Ty Unnos's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
depends on size and spacing. I'd have to measure it to work out what i'd get. Do you have the forest measuration handbook? Or the field guide? Both of these will have tables in to work out how much volume you get in a tree. If you have 100 trees in an acre each one 2m3 each you have 200m2 of timber. Have you tried contacting the FC or local council about help measuring and putting a management plan in place? -
Tractor Data is the place to go. Basically for the new ones: A series (like the one in my picture) are tiny little things upto 100hp. You can't put a crane on the roof as they're too small. N series more electrical gubbins a much larger heavier tractor but not massive form 101hp to 150. T are the big ones going upto about 200hp now. The little A series are great for little jobs but trust me you don't want to use it for any length of time as the cab is very small. N series is the best of both worlds between physical size and hp. Personally i'd have a T130, it's not massive. at 130hp it will run most chippers relativly well. Heavy enough to take a roof mount crane and a big winch.

Nice set up. Any reason you went for a botex 360 rather than a 560? Is that the 5t double drum wilson had for sale recently? I've got a new trailer on order from wilsons Botex 570tl on a 11t euro trailer with extending axel.

The Timberland chainsaw gloves are poor. They're very comfy though but not hard wearing. I wrecked them in a 1 month long felling project. They just fell apart. I've been using the new Arbortec expert chainsaw gloves at the moment and they are amazing. Very good fit, very comfy and after having them for a few months quite hard wearing.

A T Olivers are just fantastic. Been to the Kings Langly one several times for various bits which they've either had or phoned around their supplyers to find for me. I didn't know they were ex valmet dealers though. We use Browns who can be good or shocking. Unfortunatly their engineer who knew his way round the A series valtras very well has left.

I think it was me Jerry who spoke to you about JAKE mounts. Seems a great system. Is that a Kelsa crane on there? What broke the clutch on the 8000. Our A92 one went last year on the PTO side and i think the engine side is wearing a bit now.

That's a nice old tractor.
-
The yoke on the 12" is just great. Makes it very easy to clear blockages.

Have just got a Bandit 150. It's on PTO on a 100hp tractor. In a word fantastic. I've manually fed it and you struggle to keep up with it! Crane feeding it still happy munches stuff. I've only done 4 hours chipping on it. Must admit the big infeed hopper of the 250 would be better than the slightly small one that the 150 has. Build quality is great the 150pto comes in at 1.5 tonnes. The only downside is that the feed hopper sticks out a fair way. Global recycling made us a sliding headstock to get it out of the other lane of traffic when on the road. Not sure how far it sticks out on the trailer version.

I recommend the Husky roller file guides. As for hooks vs tongs. i'd go with tongs i have a range of hooks and they have their place but tongs are better.

If you get a copy of the blue book. Forest mesuration they're all in there it's not got yield class in it though.

Looks smart. I want it but can't afford it.

This is the P51 Mustang that crashed. Taken on the Saturday taxing in after doing the big Balbo finish that claimed it on the Sunday. Ended up in a shocking state on once it hit the deck. Hadn't seen it until that youtube vid. It has just been sold to a new owner too.

How long would it be for?
-
Are you talking ride mowing? We use a topper to do all our ride mowing. Stumps and logs do knacker the blades up. We're putting a set of chains on see if we can get better blade life/quality of cut ratio.

Is that the photoshop effect or have you got a very expensive. Yet great fun tilt shift lens?
-
I think it is a DH Chipmunk.
-
Yes it was. As was the Hornet, which was its replacement. Also The Vampire which was the first DH jet was also made of plywood. Well the cockpit module was the wings were all streed skin ally. Oh and i found a FB IV for you in my collection. Again at the DH museum and a rather rare cockpit sanded down of the vampire. Also the Flying Tigers P40 from Legends on Saturday. One of the real stars of the show.

There was a DH Mosquito at the museum. In 1945 Target Tug colours. There are no flying DH Mosquitos in Europe maybe the world. There was one but i crashed in '96. I live about 5 miles from the place that it was designed and built. Here a few pictures from the DH heritage museum. The yellow one, which is kept in a hanger thats falling to bits is the prototype. Back in the early 90s it was set up like those pictures of american fighters with all the guns and bombs it could take! They even have the 37mm quick fire cannon for it. The concrete blob is atually a mould they used to make them; well it was for a hornet they're aren't any for mossies left.

A few more shots. Including the lovely P38.
-
Nope. Everything was propeller driven. From the 1st world war to the end of the second.
-
I will. I'm still going through my shots i have over 3000 from the two days. They're not the best my long lens is very slow and soft at 300mm.

The nissan navara.net forums are a host of information on the navara.

A few pictures. Douglas Skyraider 2 P51 Mustangs and a Skyraider P39 Lightning B17 and her little friends Avro Lancaster

Was around 5ish. In the big Balbo at the end the last element to come in. I got on the road at 6.30 as i waited around to hear for an update on the pilot. Did you just go today? Yesterdays display was better as they had a fantastic display from the P40s.
