Please tell me that you have an after photo.

Sarp chains are the hardest to decipher and get the correct one for your saw, you need the sarp book and the chain box and the ability to cross reference.

I had real trouble shifting 150 m3 earlier this year, most went for cattle bedding. I am now giving away the remainder with loads of logs. Tried some of it last week, not impressed, and the smoke does not smell very nice.

Yes. Delux weathershield priming woodpreserver contains lots of nasty chemicals that will preserve wood for a long time.
-
I resisted the urge to add any myself. I am just woundering how long other arbtalkers can restrain themselves.

How long before this thread decends on a downward spiral.

Look like nice woods to be working in, wheres the mud, brambles and steep slippery slopes ?

Rhododendron/clearing saw.
slack ma girdle replied to trialscot's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
from the delightful memories i have of clearing rhoddie the last time, a chainsaw was the most effective becuase the stems are normally so badly twisted/ knotted together you very rarely get to fell anything. Better still is a 3 ton digger with wide metal tracks and a grab, that feeds a big shredder. That will save a bit of sweat on your brow -
Bah tis a tidlder

Not very nice about his spelling are they?
slack ma girdle replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in The Lounge
The spelling is bad and the English is not much better: ' I,d like to aks about for wood chipper. How inch is tree material. ' That be quality English -
Why can i not find pyraster in any of my tree books ?
-
At the risk of going against the flow, i think that pete has put forward a good arguement. He might not be have all the facts right, but i for one struggle with maths and therefore defer to the person with the expertise in the subject. Pete ignore the heathens above, when they can come up with a better argument............

Which one is pyraster ?
-
To please we need a quality lunge on top !
-
The delmhorst one that i got from Rob (alaskan mill fame) seams very robust and reasonable. The only trouble is the highest reading is 30%, but as i only want it for milled timber and logs it is not a problem.

If it private and you can not remove the constriction, then you have two choices: Skyhuck has eluded to one. Do nothing and let it do its own thing, and at some point in the future it is going to structurally fail. You could reduce some of the crown to reduce the stress on the co-dominant forks. But you will be left with large wounds, which are not going to help the trees health.

Is it a public or private garden ?
-
It is a saw, but not a motorised one. Just finnished sharpening my tennon saw.
-
Flat out since January, and got enough work to keep me busy till crimbo
-
Are you talking about saw logs or firewood ?
-
If i was not so busy....... i might have considered ten years ago. P.M. me if you are ever stuck due to illness or holidays
-
I seem to remember that when the 357 first came out there were a number teething problem that needed sorting out, and i would guess that it will be the 560. Don't buy a newly designed saw, wait at least a year for the problems to be sorted.

Licence / tickets to deliver firewood to domestic buyers?
slack ma girdle replied to TreeNuts's topic in Firewood forum
Yes a drivers licence, and a tabloid on the dash of you transit. -
How long is a piece of string. The wood is going to be of intrest to wood turners in green form,and for them to be excited then it will need to have interesting grain/ color. If it is good enough then you would be better off getting it milled and storing it yourself, then you be be talking £35+ per cubic foot.

Pics of large trailer in use finally
slack ma girdle replied to gensetsteve's topic in Large equipment
Looking good, it must give you a certain sence of satisfaction to use something that you built yourself. However one it has been in the woods a few times and you have inadvertantly dropped a few logs on it, i doubt that i will look as good, and i give you a month before the lights are either broken or smashed or both. Well done.
