  1. If you have the time, then do it. You will get better timber, and a better price for the final crop. This might be of interest. Pruning of pine in a 15 years old stand (video) | Forestry.com WWW.FORESTRY.COM Pruning of trees increase the volume of knot-free wood and the value of the forest. Here you can read more about pruning of pine in Sweden.
  2. That be a bunion, and the most likely cause is your boots. Try the black leather Phanner boots with the red laces
  3. Half fallen over ash from last Friday. Sun and birds singing, what not to like apart form this tree ! https://youtu.be/55vbYmwvNRs
  4. Moving slowly as it is steep. @IronMikelooking enviously at your flat race track site.
  5. Does this count?
  6. Almost forgot the 5th is an oil beatle
  7. 1st under wing moth Caterpillar 2nd violet ground beatle 3rd ground cricket, aren't they very rare? 4th pyrochroa cocconea 5th anaglyptus mysticus 6th rubt tail wasp 7th small copper
  8. I have one of these for years, bomb proof. Bunded Wheeled fuel Kaddi portable Diesel 100 litre Tank Bowser Dumper £250+vat WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Kaddi bunded 100 litre diesel portable bowser. This is a bunded 100 litre (approx.). Kaddi bowser. It is in good condition with a hand pump and a dispensing gun. We have a choice of different towed and static fuel bowsers available.
  9. You want something like this. 100 Litre Diesel Tank Trolley - Hand Pump | Fuel Tank Shop Ltd WWW.FUELTANKSHOP.CO.UK Comes supplied with hand pump, 3m hose & manual nozzle
  10. The edhes feather over, but you can trim them off with a hacksaw, and they seem to stack better than plastic ones. The biggest difference that i have notice is the difference in transferring the energy of the 'wack'. I had to borrow some plastic wedges to support a second tree, and noticed how much more the plastic ones bend/flex when being hit. Wasted energy.
  11. I have switched to Aluminium wedges, mainly to cut down my plastic use, and i got sick of the plastic wedges snapping.
  12. Not sure of this one growing out of an Oak stump, first thought was a Mazegill, but the gills are too straight. Any ideas?
  13. Its one of the many ground beetle larvae, which makes it a predator so don't squash it .
  14. Good use of the log bullet, mine is surprising me still on how much it will move on short runs.
  15. Box strainer
  16. Felling aid are just that, aids. Best to have a plan B
  17. It the 20 ton wedge, and i got it from Chris forestry. https://www.chrisforestry.co.uk/store/Koller-Mechanical-Felling-Wedge-p136166425 The Dolmar is the 6100, fantastic saw.
  18. beware the saleman, they are not in the undergrowth knocking over big hairy trees
  19. On that size i would go Treemans jack or a big winch
  20. Here mine in action. Every time I take an impact drill to speed things up, its pouring with rain. It also adds massively to the amount of weight you have to carry. The Koller wedge fits in my wedge pouch, but the impact drill doesn't and you also need additional batteries. I would rather rather travel lite, and take a little longer to drop the trees.
  21. Horse Chestnut
  22. Only trees moving here. https://youtu.be/SM11WUEzAeo
  23. Cheers mike
  24. Fair play to the Log bullet, i am forwarding the trees whole, and most are around10m in length.
  25. Oh joy, back to willow biomass
