  1. So you think something else is killing the tree? I agree it looks a little like a Bjerkandera. I think its the cause of the die back though, it certainly looks that way anyway..
  2. Nice Reg, I wish we could use explosives. I am daydreaming about topping leylandii, a whole row of them BBBBBBBBBBANG like a zip undoing.
  3. Lawsons Cypress, one stem almost dead with a heavy coating of fungus emerging from cracks in the bark, the remaining stems have lesser amounts coming through so will probably succumb soon. Not something I have seen before...
  4. We will probably be selling a Mitsubishi canter soon..
  5. Great thanks Rich. How's you? Going back to Norway soon?
  6. Well spotted Shavey, Ian really needs to send me his address... There was 3 of us Carlos...
  7. Didn't break sweat all day Mark. Just the way I like it.
  8. No but I checked the chip piles for feathers.....
  9. On way home. Stuck in traffic 😒
  10. All down by scotch egg time. Time to dodge the re-bar now and chip it all.
  11. Down to the last 10. The winch is helping as we are on the north side so most of them lean the other way.
  12. This is the latest. About half felled.
  13. 60+ leylandii to kill. This was at 9:00 This is now the trees have grown through a barbed wire fence unfortunately. The mission is still to do all 60 in a day. We'll see how it goes.
  14. Just had LOLER and the inspector doesn't want to see my lovely orange tachyon again. Looking for a nice low stretch 11-12mm rope to replace it. Climbing on zigzag... I loved new england fly and am tempted by the teufrlberger version, or another tachyon, anyone recommend anything else? Cheers Tom
  15. I remember looking into this years ago, in the end I went and bought my first roof mount tractor and haven't looked back. Get a trailer with dividers and just sell by the cube, full load or half load.... And a tractor...
  16. Nice work! Some big lumps rigged...
  17. Thats the LOGOSOL one, they are a really neat design, and being wood fired just makes them better still. Latest News | LOGOSOL
  18. If you are doing loads of timber I'd consider a bandit, they are heavy though. I hadn't realised that you were buying new, they have stopped making the 1928 and replaced it with the 190, same size infeed but the rollers are vertical, I don't know much about them.... TP is another one to consider if you are doing a lot of timber...
  19. My 1928 weighs about 1300kg, I think the 220 was 1400, so not much in it really. I would definitely demo a 1928, the infeed is a couple of inches wider than the 220, so you can feed more in at once, the 220 may be better for big timber, but we never really chip much above 6".
