Do you like the ash trees I pruned a few years back Mark?

Douglas fir cladding milled by Johnathan. Now on my new extension. Pleased with the result. Cheers!

When we first went out there were curtains of green light with stripes going right up. It was bright too.

I didn't bother. We saw them in Iceland and I spent that much time fannying about with the camera that I missed the best of them. They change quite quickly. What we saw tonight was better than we saw in Iceland.
-
Best I have ever seen them, get outside now!

Skyhuck is right, I have been involved in a few insurance cases where trees have damaged neighbouring property, one where the tree wrote off one car and damaged two others, in most cases the tree owner was not liable and the car / home owners had to claim on their own policies. There was one case where the tree belonged to the council and i think they did pay out, but I'm not certain.

I have a TP160 pto machine, we have used a tracked TP too, the build quality is good, and they make good chip, I think the feed rollers don't quite have the crushing / pulling ability of the likes of the TW or the Forst (which we also have). Having said that I would happily have a TP 175. I will defiantly demo one when I buy my next road tow. I am suspicious of the build quality on the TW230.

Don't you just heap the logs into a pyramid shape rather than fill it level?

Just made a new towing eye clevice for the back of the Heizohack after breaking the original one on friday... Turned out ok, luckily I got the local engineers to punch the holes and bend the back plate so all I had to do was weld it up..

Something I keep meaning to try is to get heras fencing, make it into squares, one panel on each side and fill them with logs, put a tarp over them and they still get the wind but not the rain.. At the moment we are just storing them in the shed but we keep running out and having to split more, I need some form of outside storage too..

The PTO Morbarks are a side feed, as are the heizos.

Never mind lept I think you'd have fallen off.

Most processors run at lower revs because their Hp requirement is so low, its a fuel saving thing. All the ones I have used work in the 400-500rpm range. Its just the lack of HP that the massey has thats the problem. Keep the saw nice and sharp and that will help a little.

Its possible but you still only have 40 horses, the machine will run slower and you will be screaming the tractor. Get a bigger tractor.

There's a better looking one called a chomped I think. -
Chip pile is growing. About 2 days worth of chipping. Could have done double that amount if we didn't have to chip into the trailer.
-
You can always give it a bit of help with the crane.
-
they will chip brash without blocking no problem, the issue is how well they will pill it through, in the clop of mine above I didn't need the pressure assist..heres a brief clip of some conifer going through [ame] [/ame]
-
has it got pressure assist? It will still work without it, but its better with. you won't do it any harm.. This is mine .[ame] [/ame]

I have the red Pfanners, they are pretty indestructible, and warm too, but they are a bit clumpy for climbing in.
