    Hare's foot inkcap. New one for me.

    Stan Archer & sons are near by

    I would start with Alder leaf beatle, which you won't be able to do anything about . Phytophthora is possible, but you won't be able to do anything about. Wait and see what happens next year.

    At least you have a plan B.

    Would it not be quicker just to drive the Log bullet up and collect the timber? I hate winching

    Have a vague plan, but don't doggedly stick to it. When it is not flowing as it should, change it early before it becomes a problem . Make sure that other peoples views are heard, even if you don't think what they are saying is right. Sometimes people suprise you with good suggestions that will save you time and money. Individually thank everyone working at the end of the day, there is nothing worse than flogging your guts out all day, and feeling Unvalued.

    That looks like blossom wilt. Cut out all the infected material, and burn it. I've treated a couple of cherrys like this, and sprayed the adjacent branches with a diluted mix of Jays fluid. You have to be very methodical for a number of years, but both trees i have been treating are not showing any signs ofvthe disease.

    My Nuffield 10/60 cost £500 18 years ago, up until the flywheel bearing collapsed last year, only needed a new starter motor.

    My best for felling & extraction to roadside was £14 per m3, my worst is £79. There are too many variables for each site, and don't forget to factor in breakdowns. I consider a week without a breakdown an exceptional week.

    Most tree officers are reasonable, i would speak to them, and arrange a site visit. If you are not trying to hide anything, and the trees have only been pruned i wouldn't be overly worried. Tree officers in my experience tend to get afficious when you are trying to hide things.

    Everything! Work out a plan for the wood, timber volumes, what the owner want to do with the wood, and tie that in with a felling regime. Sort out the felling licences EPS checks and maps. Unleash the gibbon horde of subbies to fell and extract. Pay the woodland owner for the standing timber. Sort out buyers and transport for the cut timber. Generally i am working small woods and extracting less than 300 tonnes.

    This is where fools like me step in, cut out the circus.

    Have to disagree, i generate all my own work, and at the point now as one finishes, an new one replaces it. Standing sales are very buoyant at the moment. I stay under the radar to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy.

    Found this fella at the weekend.

    I tried some screw in tungsten studs, fantastic grip, but impossible to drive machinery in.

    I take your one inch, and raise you another 5. Needless to say the jack didn't push the tree over

    I'm still making making mistakes after 20 years, and still learning.

    The ability to listen to what is being asked of you. Every person you will work for will have a different methodology, and you need to be able to fit into that methodology. At the moment all of the people who are cutting for me came with little or no forestry experience, but they all have enthusiasm to learn. They are now at the point where i don't need to worry or check up on them as i know they are doing a good job. I like people asking lots of questions, and learning from there mistakes. When something goes wrong i always ask why, and get them to talk it through. I hate to say it, but we only learn from our mistakes.

    Some of those trees were hairy monsters. Do you use a spreader plate with your jack? Good work
  20. slack ma girdle
    Green Elf Cup, this is the first time that i have seen the fruiting body, albeit very tiny.
  21. slack ma girdle
    Jacking over a backing leaning spruce. I can tell that i have been spending too much time in my machinery, there is a definite belly overhang.

    Finally the last 4 windblow. It's proving tricky manoeuvring amongst all the wobbly stumps.
  23. slack ma girdle
    Not bad for quarter past eight on a Saturday morning.

    Diggers around this size are phenomenal with what they will lift and pull, and as light a footprint as the log bullet.

    Sorry @AHPP no idea what you are going on about.
