  1. i reckon part of the syllabus was about trees, but i am only guessing
  2. Cheers everybody, i am realy touched by all your unhelpfull advice/ offers :001_tt2::001_tt2:
  3. You must have an old bottle, as the new ones have got the application rates for various species. However right at the back of your label there will be a line that goes something like 'forestry spot applications 50:1' Your local farmers co-op should be able to supply you with everything you will need.
  4. Yes yes, i known i am a halfwit, but do you want it. Come on you know you do.
  5. Cheers Mr Bullman maximum respect:laola: Thankyou everyone out in arb land
  6. Currently standing but soon to be felled is 65 cube of the finest popular in the land:001_tt2:. It can be cut to what ever size you want. Anybody interested, pleeeeeeeeeeeese
  7. I'm not even going to look, as it will lead me into temptation, and therfore trouble with the wife. Anyway i have got a 45 year old tractor, and a dumper/winch and a landrover that is 20 years old.
  8. It took me on my own 4 1/2 days to cut to size with a chainsaw, split with a splitter on the back of a tractor, and stack in 15' block head high. However this was forest grown timber, so straight with few branches. I would upload some photos but my phone has decided that it can not talk to the computer
  9. Ohh my god, i have just messed my pants. Who needs yer foreign muck when planks of that beauty are available on our fair shores.
  10. Holy Cow batman, thems there is some crazy fools. :thumbup: i would like to give it a go though
  11. If you can bothered, dig out the root plate and jet wash it. This is the most valuable as it has the best figuring. However it you need to spend some time getting the stones out which can be an absolute sod.
  12. Oh god yes please, but you are too far away. Don't supose you do mail order ??????
  13. If you get any work in mid-south-west Wales i would be interested. I am a self employed forester, with my own tractor, and have about ten years experience

  14. After the slight slagging:lol:, i doubt that if they were a member that they would own up to the video
  15. There is nothing like a bit of optimism jon, i reccon that that most people people will be keeping apple for personel use. It smell so sweet when it burns. You might have better luck contacting your local cider producers
  16. Now that Stihl and Husqvarna are going so hi tec, and there is bound to be some teething problems, and the possibility of some unforseen long term problems. I am seriously considering the Jonsered 2165, as it is using proven low tec technology. A number of years ago i would have laughed at the above comment
  17. Here you are: go to the top of the page, and press the search button. In the top box type in risk assessments, scroll down the page until you find the search button, and press it. Scroll down through the results until you find risk-assessments-method-statements-last-time-hopefully you will find more generic/ site risk assessments than you can shake a stick at
  18. oooh pretty colours. If you have the ability to move that and get it to a saw mill, you will have some fine pretty wood.
  19. It may be that if the trees have had a number of good years that it has not the energy to produce a profusion of flowers this year, and with the general decline in bee numbers. However it might be something else completey different
  20. Not many apples !! , the apple trees around here are absolutely loaded.
  21. Having done a number of refresher courses, i have found them handy for picking up on bad habits that tend to creep in. And with all things techniques inprove/ change, sometime even for the better. Currently going through Lantra assessment to become a trainer, so i am have to re-learn to get back up to speed, which will hopefully improve my techniques. However i do agree with roseyweb
  22. Have your tools now got that lovely blueish tinge from splitting the sweet chesnut?
  23. ahh the joys of verble abuse.....
