If you can stock pile enough to chip and fill a silage trailer, and you are not too far from a biomass producer, then it would produce a small return for you

Sorry yet more winching

I am sure that the chain speed is less than 25m/s for all non forestry spacific cutters. Chain shot is not an issue at these speeds. -
I have found it generally associated with dead wood, and i would guess that it will happily stay within the wound compartment for many years. I would be more concerned about root damage from the surrounding development.

£200 is not a large amount for referenced professionalism

I think they are still messing around

I would be starting with Rigidoporis ulmarius Giant elm bracket

First impression, I would say silver leaf.

After 30 years i still over/under price jobs. Customers want confidence, so a couple of technical words, but not too many go a long way. You ain't gonna win them all. Options work in a few cases, but aways require good access. 9 out of 10 cases, there is only one option. Stick to your decision, and don't be swayed by the customer.

My apple trees are the most unloved trees in west Wales, and still they produce more apples than i can deal with. I spend quite alot of my working life pruning apple trees, and not one of these 'looked after' trees produces as much fruit as my unloved trees .
-
The original leader was pruned out when it was in the nursery to encourage horizontal growth, for better fruit production. Fruit trees are always best left to their own devices.

The tree is still standing after the 2 pre Christmas storms. Ratchet straps are a godsend to reassure the climber . Levels of leaf cover in the canopy is the deciding factor. A tractor and 8 tonne winch is the safest method.

The chain speed on grapple is below 25m per sec, so chainshot isn't an issue.

Here you go @Squaredy a couple of pictures. There isn't going to be enough to make up a lorry load from the windblow, but we will thinning here this winter.

With the simpler ones the trees do wobble about when you shear them, but i have only lost a tree when the dead wood was to brittle to support the tree. If you are going to do alot of roadside trees, then i would get one with an extra grab. Have you considered a grapple saw, a GMT35 would tick most of your boxes

Its about a 50/50 split for second homes, and none of the younger locals can afford to buy a house in Angle, unless they have a job with the refinery. The refinery is only noticeable with sound and smell on a cold frosty days or easterly winds, but 1 in 5 families in Pembrokeshire have some work connection with the refinery. It is going to hit Pembrokeshire hard when it finally closes.

Never managed to sell them as saw logs in the past. The logs will be stacked here Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.COM Plenty of room for a lorry to turn around in. I am there tomorrow, i will take a couple of photos of what is cut so far.

The bark beatle chambers that are visible, makes them easy to identify, as each beatle has an unique pattern. You will be able to work out whether it was the primary cause of death, or just a secondary opportunist.
