    Ihave been beating most of the week last one tomoz. Got my new tractor well new to me LOL. I am still felling spruce. then i am going thinning.this will interest you the plantation was poplar and they all fell in 87 gales, replanted in 89 mixed broadleaves and never been thinned not even cleared of elder and bramble. the agent said it is a rubbish wood but it is a lovely wood at least the owner likes it as well. most of the plantations were planted in the 70s and have still got tubes on and the bark is soft underneath. but it is to much to do for one man. your holiday sounds cool?

  14. David oakman

    The thing that makes great britain great is veteran and ancient trees. If you go to windsor great park with ted green you will walk around hollow thin walled trees and thousands of people do this every year, but as HSE get more involved more trees that could live for hundreds of years will live possibly 100 and felled which is good for timber merchants but changes what we like to see old trees. I have a book 1883 forestry journals and in there are pictures of some veteran trees and some are still here if HSE was around in 1883 things may look a lot different than it does.

    Ihave just bought a massy ferguson with a 815 loader on it does anyone know of a bucket and a grab for this it has to be secondhand and cheap we have ran out of money. I am sure someone must know of one laying around in a field or barn. In east anglia would be nice.
