    Silky Masaru, 6 years old, and still as sharp as the day i brought it. It has to be sharpened at regular intervals, but it was £45 well spent.

    Most of our environmental laws come from EU law, which we can not scrape even if we (the governement) wanted to, with out massive fines. Are we sure about the facts, or is this more scaremongering generated by the tabloids (i.e. straight bannanas, ice cream, and our nobil sausage) ?

    How are you finding the black and red Marlow ? Have you tried using a tag line wrapped once or twice around a branch below you to reduce the amount of swing. It does slow proceeding down abit, but it means that you do not have to worry about close building etc. when large lumps are flying.

    Good work there, necessity realy is the mother of invention. How long before you modify the design ?

    To selectively fell 260 m3 of unpopular poplar 12 days. Extraction so far on flat but very wet ground 32 m3 in 3 1/2 days using the mighty nuffileld 10/60. Ruts on the access track are now too deep for the afore mentioned tractor and it keeps getting stuck, and now waiting for digger to clear track. i have now sold on part of the timber to someone else with the equipment to extract in the wetter conditions. I will loose out but the estate that owns the wood is happy as they in the long run will get more money. I am not a hi tec outfit, and run the forestry on a very small budget, but i means that i get free firewood to sell on (about 30 m3 a year). My advice, be flexable, and do not be afraid to get help in as circumstances change.

    Good work, and some interesting points. Did you make a guesstamation about how much pulling power you needed to lift the limb off the house, or was it experience ? Out of interest, does anybody over the pond wear chainsaw trousers (pants) or do you all wear chaps ?

    I can here the squeals of protest from here. i think you have tested the limits of the machine, but what are you going to do to top that ?

    If it runs and parts are readyly available it looks like a reasonable deal. You do not buy a land rover for cheap motering, you buy it so you can go most places and not get stuck. There are alot of land rover snobs out there, who only want expensive shiney parts for their land rover so that they can show off at the office. Rant over

    I have had a thoe 13t four about 4 years now. The only thing that i have had to do to it is grease the main shaft. Nothing has ever broken, and it still works as well as the day i got it. I have modified it so that it can be operated one handed, and hold the log with the other, otherwise i can not safely split 3' lenghts.

    I was a bit disapointed the last time i went to Wisemans wood, It is starting to suffer from too many people and sheep. There is a much better wood on the south part of the moor just below Black tor; Black tor copse. It is about a 4 mile hike from the nearest road, but it has good atmosphere/ spooky when the mist is low. It has some of the best boulder/ moss/ tree/ lichen/ bryophyte combination on the planet.

    When i used to help with the harvest, part of the payment was in cider, needless i did not get much done in the afternoon for the first couple of days.

    That sounds like carple tunnel syndrome, as it matches the discription that a good friend gave before he went into hospital. it was only a quick op and he was back on the saw in six weeks. Sting your hands regularly with nettles, natures finest natural anti inflamitory. It had helped reduce my symptoms of carple tunnel syndrome

    Its shiney, so it is going to be expensive.
