Looks like it may be of use to some people.

When you chip a branch with a cavity, the cavity is automatically dumped so it doesn't contaminate the woodchips with holes.

Fits onto the particle accelerator behind the osmotic reverser, I think.

That looks great Ian!

Whether the moorland should be left to help itself, or English Nature pay people to carry out their preferred management strategy, is an interesting debate. I would , however, think it extremely unlikely that an Estate releases 20,000 pheasants onto a moor. The Estate probably releases a lot of pheasants, onto the arable and woodland parts of its territory, and they will be managed accordingly. Moorland is the territory of our native Red Grouse. Grouse cannot be artificially reared and released, and so moorland has to be managed and vermin controlled for their benefit. The ecological wider benefits of well managed grouse moors are well documented.

If he buys the timber, then he is collecting his own goods and taking them back to his premises for processing, isn't he?

Nice one Stevie! My four year old lad surprised us yesterday by carrying a 14lb shop weight in to the house from the garage, in one hand! Maybe he'd make a good groundy for your boy!

Last time we did some training, there was vat on the training part of the bill and no vat on the assessment.

Blip the throttle to between clutch strokes to match the engine speed to the lower gear ratio and it will go in a lot easier. Takes practice.

Good load on the tranny! Is the 272 a synchro with the gears either side of the seat? They were the first tractors with synchromesh gearboxes , I believe.

Colin Zoeller at Scarborough has got a big Morbark like Stu's for sale, I believe, Brett.

Apart from anything else, you won't be able to go too narrow for underground services. They are supposed to be a set distance and depth from the kerb. http://www.njug.demon.co.uk/pdf/NJUG%20Publication10.pdf Page 5.

Well done! Congrats to you and the mrs, mate!

Sorry to derail, Bushy could you put up a larger pic of the trailer in your avatar, please. Looks an interesting set up with the dumper on the rear.
-
Did you back the trailer up, tip it right up and fell it in with a big chewy hinge, secure the top, then roll veeeeeeery slowly forward whilst lowering the trailer and letting the hinge off gradually? I wouldn't have done it like that if I wasn't going to do it.
-
With the time you've saved you'll soon be able to afford a new trailer...
-
Changed that for you Pete.

Nicely judged on the space. If you letterbox the middle, you won't pull the fibres out.
-
Thanks for the hat and gloves, Yve.

Great photo set David! Frank, I agree that apprenticeships are the way forward for a hands-on job like ours. Does your apprentice not need to collect pictures of him doing the various tasks for evidence for his course? I have loads of pictures of Dave from his college time, this thread prompted me to look back over them and see his progression.

Don't think I'd bother these days. I got a badge in the cub scouts for 'climbing a very tall tree'. It was a conker tree and it seemed massive, but I was only eight! Wonder how many kids fell to their doom attempting to get the badge? Not many I bet. Health and safety would have a fit nowadays. I bet they don't award that badge anymore.

What's the company / chip maker, or what ever? I might get ours done. 18 Stoner is looking into this, I believe, as well for his new ride.

I don't have the saw attached whilst cutting, but hang it from a strop between cuts. As for a saw falling on someone, there shouldn't be anyone underneath whilst things are being cut off.
