    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.

    Thats where i bought my wood processor from freddy bugg over at statford. I think his family were fairground people. I am burning cedar of lebanon at the moment a lovely flame but yes it does spit.

    Thanks mate, i have an elm tree similar to the beech in pic 1.
  19. David oakman
    Thanks guys this is very interesting. The two beech are very near a road so i need to do the right thing. Two points i am thinking about is the first tree has some wounding which has sealed with new wood but something caused it. it may be water has got in old pruning wounds and the core has gone soft and has some type of fungal activity but there are no fruiting bodies. or there is a ditch beside these trees and it is full to the top with water and as we know beech hate water so there may be a root problem.

    David oakman replied to Gaynor's topic in General chat

    We had a strong wind here a couple of years ago and it gave me three months of hard work clearing it all up. i don't mind but everything else goes behind.

    There was article in a mag about a year ago, a wildlife trust were working in a wood and they were using a chipper as woodchip rots in a few months brash takes years. anyway there is a very rare toadstall which has not been seen for years called the magpie toadstall and it came up all over the woodchip piles as man with his chipper had reproduced the deadwood habitat missing in a lot of woodlands.
