  1. The problem with shears on smaller machines is finding suitable materials. Mine on my 6 tonne Doosan only come out once or twice a year. However when you do find suitable materials they are phenomenally efficient.
  2. Thats a tangled mess and no mistake. Its good for the sole apparently.
  3. Yep that rules those out , I shall have to have another sit down to night and confuse myself .
  4. It was growing at the base of a sycamore in amongst the Ivy. I wouldn't have seen it had i not been checking the base of the tree.
  5. Found these whilst surveying, possibly Entoloma, but not sure. Any thoughts
  6. He generally gets about 2 or 3 days a month from me, but i don't know how much other work he generates. The Rock splitters seem to be reasonable for what they are. But they need additional tables on either side preferably with rollers on one side to minimise the amount of bending. Also the ram speed is quite slow compared with my Thor splitter
  7. One of my subbies has a rock 22 tonne splitter, and is utterly shameless in putting himself forward for dealing with arb waste, when working for me. That seams to work quite well for him. Its not something that I do, so i don't mind.
  8. Beefsteaks yesterday . The first looks like it has been squeezed out by the tree. The second is an old one, but what caught my eye was its blue rim. Is this some kind of fungi living on a fungi?
  9. Cheers David , i am fairly sure its a sinuous chanterelle. The Earth fans don't quite fit discretion.
  10. I've switched to pro com, they are sooo much better. Being able to stand next to a chipper or saw going full tilt, and still have a conversation makes work so much safer. Don't think about it just switch.
  11. Cheers for the pointer, i think it is Pseudocraterellus undulatus, sinuous chanterelle
  12. I give up. I keep coming back to Podoscypha multizonata, but i don't think it is.
  13. They do work well especially for walking on timber, and on rocky ground. You still slip a bit on muddy ground, but not as much without . I've stopped using them as i am in and out of machinery, and they trash the machines floors and peddles
  14. It was growing next to the path on the ground in a Oak woodland in the Afon Prysor valley near Maentwrog, N Wales.
  15. This should do what you want. Home - Safe Forestry WWW.SAFEFORESTRY.CO.UK Safe Forestry is a digital, forestry data management system designed as a tool to help log on-site activities and improve...
  16. Daaaaaaaavid I am veering towards Hydnellum spp. What you reckon ?
  17. Eyelash , Wolfs fart and cinnamon porecrust. I have no idea on the last one, Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaavid
  18. The way it was explained to me was to do with the balance point of the tree, you are not trying to move the whole tree, but half. Plus you have the weight of the tree in front of the hinge to help. It made sence at the time
