  1. At the risk of being helpful, Davies in Carmarthen hire them out. Look no further for agricultural, forestry and firewood equipment & machinery
  2. If it is boggy, then it will be expensive as you will need specialist machinery that won't sink. It might be easier to split the area in thirds and cut a third every year with brush cutters and burn the scrub. What ever you do it will be a long hard slog. Enjoy
  3. It was a good show, but no mention of standing around the camp fire in the pouring rain on saturday night !
  4. At a guess i would say that you are correct in your asumption. However i am as clueless as you when i come to this sort of thing. somebody on here will know.
  5. Holy cow batman, talk about baffling with big words amd long equations. The second is much easier to read, and some useful snippets.
  6. Soft, strong, and not very long. Blinding gloves, a good fit and comfy. They would be even better if i could get them back from my wife.
  7. The close up looks like somthing you need to go and see the doctor about ! It looks like some sort of gall.
  8. From a distance the tree does not look happy. At this time of year the growth is still young and it sould look vivid green and have a dense conopy. P.S. no big words ?
  9. Its a beautiful place, my mum is one of the trusties.
  10. Self rightous nimbys, dont you just love em.
  11. P.M. spud u like, he seems to be a wizz with chainsaws.
  12. You could write anything with a few big words, and most of us would be none the wiser. Keep up the good work, if in doubt BAFFLE.
  13. It might be because you have an extra link in your loop, for an 8 tooth rim sprocket rather than a 7 tooth one.
  14. Always found Clark cut and climb to be the cheapest
  15. My mum got this for my birthday, Sawtune Precision Chain Grinder from you. This has made alot of difference, the chain is definatly cutting better since i have started using it.
  16. Yoga for the long term treatment of back problems. Voltarol (i think that is how you spell it) for legal and less addictive pain relief. Don't what ever you do stay in bed.
  17. Another year of drinking and very little work, sounds good to me.
  18. Split to dry, cut to size with saw bench. So in answer to your question : Both.
  19. The Harness arrived last week after the Arb show where i tried it out. First impressions: simple harness, easy adjustment, did not have loads of extras that i did not need/ want. The bridge is replaceable, so that it will extend the life of my harness. First use: It has taken me about half an hour to get the harness adjusted so that it is feels right. But it still feels like it is giving me a wedgy. Once up in the tree the wedgy feeling has now disappeared. The harness was used for about 3 hours to prune a row of 40' horse chestnuts, so nothing big, but one or two awkard branches over breakable things. In use the harness was comphey and did not pinch anywhere. Niggles from first use: Whilst my ample belly is a 36", the harness is adjusted to the biggest settings, so if you are any bigger you will struggle to fit into it. The harness only comes in one size. I could do with a longer padded waist, and a longer belt so that the bridge is not so flat. The two gear loopes have an loose (ish) outer covering which makes unclipping Krabs a little bit fiddly. And they are attached to the underside of the webbing which means that they lay flat and a bit fiddley to clip/ unclip There is no tear away rings for your chainsaw. your handsaw/ chainsaw has to clipped to the gear loops which means they get abit tangled with other equipment. Would i buy this harness again, Yes probably. I will update this once i have used this harness over the next 6 months
  20. We have nicely de-raile this thread, and you go and bring it on track:001_tt2: I think that XCjack is going to be really impressed with the number of post this thread has generated. Do you think that he is still lost counting trees on his proposed work site ?
  21. It must have hit the ground with a good thump, to get that small piece of wood to stick up like that !
  22. A landrover wing with no visable dents in !
