  1. Nice to see some gert lumps of wood coming out of the tree in a controlled manor, good work.
  2. I ca not disagree more Jon, mine has only lasted about 6 months. It now leeks all over, and it is not a good fit for people at the larger end of the spectum. Its one saving grace is the fleece lined neck, always comfy no matter how wet.
  3. Don't skid out the trees, as sawmills hate stone in the bark. If it is muddy wash the logs before the buyer sees them. Get an accurate volume for sale, as it will save some haggling. Phone a number of saw mills to get an idea of price per cube/ foot Stand your ground, there are plenty of buyers out there.
  4. Work out the timber volume (useable part of the trunk up to about 4" in diameter) in a 5.6m circle (0.01 of a hectare). Repete this at random intervals to give you a volume per coup. The more times you do it the more accurate the answer.
  5. Sounds like there was some good lectures, shame i was not able to go.
  6. What do you mean by a block of milling oak ? Surely the only preperation needed is cutiing it to the right lenght ?
  7. Nice load of Oak in the first picture.
  8. Don't forget to mention the webs funding.
  9. If anything turns up will let you know.
  10. I would say from what you have mentioned, that you now need experience. Tickets are handy but without the experience to back them up they are not much use. With what you have already you should have not much trouble in finding work. Once you have a couple of years experience, then think about furthering your education.
  11. Shame that you are the wrong end of the country to me, as i have some nicely coloured green ash and sycamore at the moment
  12. I have been using the 261 for the last month, which replaced my knackered 026. Noticeably less vibration. But it does not sound like a stihl anymore. I put it down to the spring av's instead of the rubber ones. I like the new saw though.
  13. I did not have to climb two dead Sycamores, managed to remove the B.T. tangled branches with the rods and not break the line and fel the trees. Just as i finnished the garage phoned to tell me that my landrover enginne had died. Warped head, and one shattered piston that had wrecked the block. Anybody got a 2.5 turbo engine ?
  14. It was in this months forestry journal. I have seen in the past at the royal welsh show, but this took place in N wales, and before the show. But i not seen it advertised anywhere before it took place. I was just interested.
  15. Did anybody one here know anything about this, or take part ? Not heard of this before, and i can not find much about it. Aparantly it took place on the 11th of June in Denbigshire N Wales.
  16. don't knock it, my wife loves the special dance move i perform for her when i putting them on.
  17. So how does it cut quicker if it has less teeth ? Less friction ?
  18. Can i be enlightened as to what a skip chain is ?
  19. The Clark cut and climb catalogue has a good section on the different types of oregan chains and bars. And when all else fails resort to the stihl and husky catalogue.
  20. This came up not so long ago, this thread : http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/large-equipment/10933-suggestion-timber-forwarding-steep-slope.html generated some useful ideas. I am only 3/4 of an hour from you, and can probably offer some unhelpful/helpful info if you want.
  21. 3/4 lycra legging under your chainsaw trousers will reduce the friction and stop the rash.
  22. At the risk of being helpful, Davies in Carmarthen hire them out. Look no further for agricultural, forestry and firewood equipment & machinery
  23. 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
  24. Leather pants !
  25. It was a good show, but no mention of standing around the camp fire in the pouring rain on saturday night !
