  1. No real science its just the most efficent way of removing the habbitat which the eggs and larvae thrive. The other benefit from burning is, it will also encourage new growth from the burn area, so along with thinning you can change the eco structure of the woodland by letting in light whilst freeing nutriants. However these days there is a need to be sypathetic to all the flora and fauna whist trying to improve the woodland so there needs to be a balance between tree, and woodland management.
  2. Huck you know you want one:lol:
  3. this is the quote from kiklees Virtually all of Kirklees is designated a Smoke Control Area and it is illegal to emit smoke from a building if the smoke is caused by the burning of unauthorised fuels such as wood or coal. Wood or coal can only be burned on an exempted appliance or alternatively smokeless fuels should be used. The delivery of wood fuel in a Smoke Control Area is also an offence.
  4. Bob got me one of them for crimbo.
  5. Apperently its an offence to deliver logs in most parts of kirklees, that is, I assume if they are not dry seasoned:confused1: Search results: wood burning stoves
  6. nat geo wild now - vietnams timber trade
  7. just chucked a freshly changed nappie on and even the dogs moved away those bad boys burn hot!!!!!
  8. dont see the difference between fare dodging and theft, if i caught someone thieving they'ed get alot worse than that little **** got. its about time more people stopped turning the other cheek. good on that bloke. i bet if that bloke had stopped some scrote nicking one of our saws he'd probably not have to pay for a drink for a while:thumbup:
  9. having used the capstan i wasnt impressed and we ended up using my tirfor which did the job no problem. this was taking down a 15" hung up spruce all the capstan did was burn the rope:thumbdown:
  10. it decided to give up and die rather than ride a Tanaka:lol:
  11. sitka planted at 1mtr spacings good and dense and will strike fast might need to thin to waste to get a yield though
  12. Buy a 3 litre turbo with low mileage and keep it well serviced
  13. its your insurance that will have to pay as no member of the public was injured and the owner of said tree has not done anything to directly cause the accident. even if the owner has insurance to cover the tree they will simply wash their hands of it. however if its a council tree............
  14. I agree its a dam good saw and have the same problem with the oil cap but my biggest bug bear is the top casing ive busted mine twice now both whilst snedding spruce, compared to the old 254/242 and sthils the plastics are cheap.
  15. might be one in my garage if you fancy trying to find it. i think the last time i saw it, it was on my bench:lol:
  16. ive often left stems up for night jars but not birds of pray, however you could just leave some dead standing timber shouldnt worry too much about the hieght.
  17. Heres my little man tree climbing at the weekend. He got board waiting for the pub to open:001_tongue:....
  18. i would say stacking would be at least 1/3 of your production depending on what your cutting
  19. first proper work day with new chip box. still need to fabricate back doors and some kind lid but not decided on how i want lid yet.
  20. Last of the summerwine used to film in our kitchen and i did once cut a small bush down in the front garden. Does that count:lol:
  21. I would suggest that if your on a day rate you need to clarify your working hours then you will know your hourly rate, you will have some idea of volume per hour this will give you some idea of what you are capable of earning. I would also try to get your employer to provide your fuel and oil, if he will treat this as a pay rise. You can go and earn £50 a day dragging brash from back gardens but working within the forestry industry even for poor money for a couple of years will give you a great grounding and loads of experience. With experience comes good money:thumbup1:
  22. oh my the very thought You can all give me sympathy on the newly named "Official 3dogs got man flu and gets no sympathy from the wife derail thread":thumbup: oh how nice is calpol:thumbup:
  23. not in that old bus it was'nt happy unless it was getting some lump hammer:laugh1:
