Are you Arb enough ? 3ATC Climbing Comp 10th 11th June
slack ma girdle replied to ArbjobsNick's topic in Climbers talk
:dito: -
That is a very nice and an expensive toy. For less than half the money you could have one of these: ***SAME SATURNO 80 4WD TRACTOR*** | eBay UK Same Explorer II 80 4x4 Diesel Tractor 40kph | eBay UK Which will have far more uses than a quad.
-
Thank god they are not for sale yet, this trip is going to be expensive enough as it is.

I am going to be coming down on the friday night after i finnish work. Traffic permitting i should be there about 9 ish, and as i am knobby no mates on my own, i will be your friend (you sure got a pretty mouth........... Que banjo music from deleverance) Only kidding. It sound like people are going to be hanging out a the arb talk tent. Be there or be square. :thumbup:

Would not be better of buying a hydraulic splitter and tractor, as it is less of an investment, and the tractor would be more versatile ? Then as funds become more available invest in a processer.

Have you got enough work to carry you through the time when you are not selling, i.e. now ?

If it is only smallish diameter wood, try splitting the other way round. Use a lorry leaf spring with an edge ground onto one side mounted into a frame. Then drive (a home made beatle works well) the wood onto the leaf spring. Once you are about a third of the way through you can then pull the log apart. The timber needs to be reasonably free of knots, but you can split long lenghts with relative ease.

Ho ho ho, my son thinks it great !

You are soooooo lucky, being able to dissapear into the back country, looking for these magnificant giants. I am very envious.
-
I will see you at the show in a couple of weeks for a chat, it sounds like a good idea. Just make sure that you have some good quality tea, not that value rubbish, oh and propper milk.

Champion Trees of Britain and Ireland: The Tree Register handbook
slack ma girdle replied to janey's topic in The Lounge
Already on my birthday list, but i have got to wait a couple months, booo:thumbdown: -
You would be correct, our only restrictions are TPO's, conservation areas, and felling licences. your lucky, i had to cut down a tree, that the neibours did not want cutting. It turned out that she was a police lady. About half an hour later as i was starting to deal with the brash, two police cars and four officers turned up, and i had to wait in the police car while they 'sorted it out' Not a good day.

I have been using 12mm Marlow anchor rope for 10+ years. It is cheep, the last one cost £45, and it is slightly streechy, so it produces less shake and wibble wobble when snatching. Can not fault it. Go for it

0-450 in three days.
slack ma girdle replied to slack ma girdle's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
In the last photo there is approx 40 m3, and as i can not give it away for fire wood, it is going to become cattle bedding. I am not going to make lots of money out of it. But my costs are covered (the owner knew this before i started), and the owner will get a small profit. -
I will have to keeo my eyes peeled then, listening out for people drinking and moaning about how rubbish there saw are !
-
One is assuming that there will be some kind of tent that is selling drinks of a beery nature ?

Would this odd beast make someone a useful forestry tractor?
slack ma girdle replied to RichardT's topic in Large equipment
That would fit in nicely with my collection of old clapped out machinery. I want it,I want it,I want it,I want it. BUT THE WIFE SAYS NO, BOOOOOO -
How are we going to regcoginise each other ?
-
It is a bit like a bowline, but it can slide so therfore adjustable without undoing the knot. However the knot can rupture the sheath of the rope, so it is not used much.
-
More fiddley to tie and set than the ordinary bowline, but much more secure. However once the ordinary bowline is tied the rope will break before the knot, do we need to be any more secure than that !
