  1. try Allan Rowlands 07710 800812 or Richard Marston 07801 097337 say the number came from Oliver in Dorset Expect to pay 500 quid.
  2. thats funny as **** and every year that passes it gets funnier. roll on 2036
  3. This is a "little" stump to cut down on a saturday morning. Cheers mooney! Who's gonna sharpen the 880?.
  4. This is how to manage unruly copper beech.
  5. have you ever thought about having a change of career to health and safety consultant. This nation could learn lots from your whoopsies.
  6. Those head bolts fall out for a passtime. Your lucky they didnt snap off leaving the threaded bit down in the crankcase but just check before you try to put new ones in.
  7. despite the multitude of knots and methods of prussiking I was glad I know the three knot system as last week as I used it to retrieve a jammed rope while still in the canopy.
  8. Maximise your wood by using everything down to 50mm this stuff is ideal for charcoal kilns. The more you trim out the less the brash seems to be. Pile brash round or on coppice stools to prevent deer browsing. Alternatively make a dead hedge to keep out the deer from sprouting coppice. try to limit machine use to tracks/ rides only. make wide rides east to west to maximise light into the wood and help woodland plants. chipping is less desireable than just leaving the brash on the floor as woodland plants can survive under scattered brash but have not adapted to life under chip piles yet.
  9. Had you thought of leaving some trees for CCF,( continouous cover forestry) though corsican is beginning to suffer from red band needle blight in many areas of the country.
  10. I once had a dumper with a cordwood cradle replacing the skip. it worked well but its a long way up to pile it , i'm too feeble for that kind of thing now.
  11. 275? 300? what are you lot on. that machine should be on 450 minimum. it will do 10 times what a man and strimmer can do. and how much would you want for that. even second hand thats a £25,000 outfit you need to charge what its worth to get your money back.
  12. Botex seem bombproof, mine is 23 years old and works well. Guerra forwarding trailers from spain look pretty solid.
  13. don't be so sure of that. you should do R/A but you may only need to do it verbally not on paper
