  1. 15-18m3, it was a long time ago that mine looked that shiny.
  2. If it's free, it will be worth the effort. So long as it is stored off the ground, with good air flow, and no rain falling on it, it will season and burn. Unpopular poplar is not as bad as made out, provided that you don't store it in the round, and do the above.
  3. I bought my Stihl 066 in 1998, and is still going strong. Its done a lot of milling, and still doesn't miss a beat.
  4. They look almost identical to the Treehog harness
  5. The stop bar goes to a micro switch, which has a cable that plugs into a socket at the back of the tractor. I don't use it, just stand back and chuck the branches in at a safe distance.
  6. I could post the logs to you one at a time!
  7. I've got the RP200 with extra flywheel, powered by a 180hp Valtra, so it cuts most woods at 7". I try and keep it to 6" and below.
  8. Its the diameter of the log. The bigger the log the shorter the distance the blades have to travel before they bite into the next log. So a 2" diameter log will come out around 9" long, and a 7" diameter log will come out around 5" long.
  9. THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

  10. Based in South Pembrokeshire, i am in need of help. My work is varied, a mixture of forestry and domestic tree surgery. You will need to enjoy working in often dreadful ground conditions. Experience would be good, but i am equally willing to provide on the job training, to get you up to a high level of competence, if you have none. I can also put you in touch with 2 other tree companies, which can potentially give you 5 days of work. Give us a tinkle 07966 792798
  11. The different lengths that the log chomper produces can be a pain, the longer ones only fit diagonally in my Rayburn, and they burn much faster than conventional logs. The next batch to go through the log chomper, i am going to be a bit fussier.
  12. I had no issues with drying in vented barrow bags. Easy enough to move around with a sack truck.
  13. What wrong with Botex?
  14. https://m.youtube.com/@TheHairyFool
  15. You are doing better than me. Exchange a subscribe for a subscribe ?
  16. I've got about 6 beech planks that are 2" thick, about 20" wide, and 10' long, if you fancy a trip to Pembrokeshire.
  17. A 8 tonne digger with grab will handle all the timber, and be able to sort it. How will you get it to trackside for lorry uplift? What it is the quality of the timber like? Saw logs will get you the biggest return, but until they are felled you wont know the quality. Extraction distance is the killer, Monkeybusiness's point about working from the furthest point is a good one. Do you have access to reliable cutters that can work to your spec. Do you have financial reserves to last a couple of months before the money starts to come in.
  18. Wot be that?
  19. 99 times out of a 100, you are right. But the 1 time a device makes all the difference.
  20. It doesn't matter what species, split and seasoned those logs will keep you warm.
  21. Those GRX grabs are a formidable bit of kit.
  22. What is the small black one below the lung wort?
  23. Those bell chockers are not very good on small diameter wood, they have an annoying tendency to slip off. But they are much easier to unchock when you have pulled down a load of bramble with the timber.
  24. Having this at the end of the valley where we are working, was too good to miss. #Dullasditchwater
