  1. I have just come to that conclusion, but it means that i am going to have to part with money. GERRRRRRRR
  2. Value increases as the moisture level drops !
  3. If you find an 026 lurking, i would be interested in parting with some cash.
  4. So the hedge that i planted last year with 25 tree species, and 9 shrub species, must be over 3000 years old........ !
  5. I'm intreaged, pray tell and enlighten us ?
  6. It has now been proven (jon stokes, tree council) that you can not age a hedge by the number of species in it. As weedee says, old maps and historical records are the most accurate. Your local historical society will probably be more than happy to help.
  7. January has been very slow, but as i sold out before christmas, it is not suprising.
  8. Is that the Ystradgynlais at the top end of the Swansea Valley ?
  9. The FC ave fixed rates, and will be more than happy to tell you what they are. Whether you want to work for these rates is a different matter. The small amount that i have done for the FC has ment that i have had to work longer hours to turn a profit.
  10. Wot no 'REF' ? I have an Aarrow eco burn 7 13kw, and a rayburn regent. I have already used 6 m3 of wood, and will probably use another 3 m3.
  11. If you are after old quality bill hooks, try the luddite. If you are realy lucky he will have one of the sussex weald hooks, rare and expensive, but you will not get better. theluddite.com
  12. That will be a thanklass task stump grinding 50 stumps. Particularly as the ground is likely to be soft/ muddy.
  13. When you are splitting long lenghts of timber (3-4'), you need to hold it with one hand, otherwise it is impossible to use.

    When i did my 30/31 one of the people turned up with a 066 with a 25" bar. He did not have the knack for starting it, but it kept us entertained until the instructer took pity on him, and lent him his.
  15. I have just been given a day pass, so count me in. Anybody want a lift from Pembrokeshire in a stinky landrover, or picking up along the A40.
  16. 15', that not even a ripple by jaws standards !
  17. I won one at the arb show last year, and i cut through the top strap the first time i used it.
  18. I use the same thing for my hand saw. It means that when i am juggling with branches over greenhouses roofs etc. i can drop the saw and use two hands on the branch.
  19. Don't get me started on the 19 year old that is supossed to be training with me one day a week !!!!!!!
  20. I could be tempted, i Know of a couple of interesting sites in Pembrokeshire, but it is probably too far for most people. Senny bridge is only an hour and 1/2 from me.
