  1. Just found out i have a place in the novice section. Any one else on here taking part or going to watch (a hairy fool make a compete hash of it) ? It is on the 12th of May in the back end of nowhere (mid Wales)
  2. A bit of T cut and it will be as good as new
  3. I do most of my forestry on my own, felling and extraction. All the small tree climbing work i do on my own, and bring in subbies for the bigger jobs. I do not push the limits when i am on my own, and take it steddy. I have managed to freek my self out a number of times working in the woods. Twice getting lost, and once in a white out as it was getting dark. A stern talking to myself, retracing my steps, soon got me out.
  4. Wot you mean this: massey forestry tractor timber crane trailer grab | eBay

  16. Here you boys, fresh from the oven.
  17. Nah, life begins at 40, so you still got 5 years. Anyway if you have not been doing this type of work, you will not have the usual joint/ tendon, back problems that start after about ten years.

  23. What is wrong with sycamore, it seasons quickly, and a joy to split.
  24. Whilst doing power line work many years ago, having pruned an ash to get clearance. Went back 6 weeks later to finnish the span, to find half the tree lying on the ground. It did give me the hebe gebees for while.
