  12. heres a few from today
  13. more a family pet....patterdale/lakeland
  14. andy robinson mobile no. 07788453797
  15. used to own a county 754 skidder.....but the timberjack skidder was far better, not very fast but they could pull......as for the brunett forwarder they were the most popular forest thinnings forwarder n the late 70s/80s...but they were always breaking down, am i sure the rear wheels were driven by chains n the bogies, always snapping.Outreach at Larbert used to be the main dealer up here
  16. get a hold of the FCA list of members theres a list of softwood contractors. start at A and work ur way thru........i brashed for a few years to a company that had 8 harvesters,i was maybe at 2 or 3 different sites a week , can get a bit boring if u the only 1 brashing but also u get to fell some lovely timber and some hairy crap too LOL
  17. too flat where u live.....need to come to the land of the stika
  18. standing at £35......there must be sawlog material n there
  19. - 10 here today, weve had 10 inch on the ground for over 10 days now.........log pile snowed over
  20. avg free is pretty good i also use zonealarm as my firewall not only does it stop them coming in but always stops anything malicous going out
  21. why do u want TCT chain....they are really for use in frozen and dirty timber......u have to send them away to get sharpened???? and they are dearer
  22. good question......weight ticket best way........but on a daily basis for example a 3.7 log td 16cm.....u would expect 6 to 7 a tonn.....4.9m.....3 to 4.........3m pulp maybe 25 to the ton, 2m chipwood nearer 45 to the tonn.........if u count all ur lengths daily u can work out approx volume. All i can say is u wont get rich fellin and stacking trees in the wood on a rate, far easier doing a conifer in some1s back garden
  23. a decent bloke with his own ppe and certs would start on 75-80 per day , where do u get these guys at that rate.....u can go and brash for the harvester and fell the outsiders up here for £120a day miminium As for tonnage a day Andy it will really depend on tree volume and how clean the sticks are, and how flat the site is. If want 7 tonnes a day a man and the trees are only .10 u need to fell cut and stack 77 trees. takes a bit of doing n hairy stika spruce. nice clean ash averaging .25 and u will have it done by lunctime.
  24. depends on the size of the timber, u dont want to processing large diameter cordwood ie the chalkwood left after all the quality sawlogs have gone to the mill....into firewood.......£45 for 14in td 3metre lengths sounds good
  25. hard to see 1 acre of thinnings producing much income.....why not thin the whole wood, get a price per ton at roadside from contractor for the firewood
