The Official raffle results 2009
Parker replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Arbtalk Christmas Raffle 2009
:thumbup:Thanks to all the sponsors and Steve for organising it! -
Haha - I have been rushed off my feet. Work for the Council as a Countryside Ranger, all the 4x4's are being used to get to the infirm and deliver "meals on wheels" and I've been driving around in an open top compact tractor with the bucket on the loader clearing up around the car parks, making sure the livestock we have are ok.
-
Have you got the figure that we raised last year Steve? Did we raise more this year (I hope so) ?
-
Try Hi-Line contractors - they are based in Exeter.
-
Thanks Steve and all the Mods for a great site!
-
I will be there for the dry run.
-
Nice one SWB - give each person 2 business cards...one for them and one for a friend and it will be good advertising aswell!

Slippery wooden bridge- suggestions?
Parker replied to Kat1e's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
We use Weldmesh at work to cover all our wooden structures (i.e. bridges, boardwalks etc). It is similar to chicken wire by a lot heavier duty and will give greater grip. Welded Wire Mesh Panel UK, Weldmesh Light, Fencing Mesh, Heavy Weldmesh, Flat Wire Mesh Telford -
Make sure the chip is non contaminated, ie. no hedge cuttings, soil, stones, rubbish etc otherwise they wont take it!!
-
I hope you did a Risk Assessment!
-
Glad you got everything sorted mate. Its hard enough working with cattle during the day let alone at night when you can hardly see them!
-
Happy Birthday!
-
Thats fine as long as the customer doesnt mind you ruining her grass by tracking the digger over it !

new arb first aid kit on the market from an Arbtalker
Parker replied to slasherscot's topic in General chat
Accidents don't always happen in the canopy of trees and there are a lot of guys on here that do forestry so I think a comprehensive first aid kit is a must for any company. If they then need to train their staff up to a higher level than first reponse to use the items in the kit then thats the price you have to pay for something that may save someones life. Just my thoughts! -
Some interesting pics!
-
What two fungi are they?
-

We use a forage havester on all the smaller stuff and on the heather but a lot of the gorse we are cutting this year has become too degenerate (stands 7ft tall) and so the haveseter can't cope with this stuff.
-
Will post some pictures up on Sunday of the site and keep you updated to how we go about it ! cheers for the help guys !
-
Looks like it's going to be cut and burn then. I think getting in a mulcher/digger is going to be too costly/time consuming and won't leave the site in a good enuf condition.
-
Well said - we all started somewhere!
-
Haha fair comment - it will probably be me on the digger tbh.
-
It doesnt matter if it grows back as we want gorse of varying ages - its going to be cut on rotation every couple of years.
-
Would the digger be able to clean up all the arisings though without taking off the top surface of the soil?
