  1. Nothing exciting, just a small spot of larch felling and extraction. [ame] [/ame][ame] [/ame][ame] [/ame] Enjoy
  2. They use the auto belays that they use for climbing walls, rigged through pulleys to create three levels of breaking, so that the deceleration is gentle. If the midges weren't so bad i would have taken some photos.
  3. Nope, the bloke who you can see in the film, managed just over 100mph. I was hoping that the fish and chips i had beforehand would give me a bit of extra momentum.
  4. It was a good surprise. It did not feel like 95mph, as i was so high up. The most interesting bit was how they set up the breaking system, well i found it interesting.
  5. I like my Browns woodworker, but i got it for free, And i like anything that is free.
  6. I was also under the impression that gardens are exempt from forestry regulations.
  7. 24.65 tons of saw logs (larch) £1040, which equals 31.5 m3 or £1260. I know how i am going to to sell them.
  8. I have been having good results with a 20/1 mix that is squirted into a cut stem below a node. i was part of some triales in Cornwall many years ago, and the weaker mixes had a better kill rate. The reason being the chemical was much more mobile and the uptake greater. I left Cornwall before they completed the trials, but the knotweed i have been treating seam to bear this out.
  9. Pictures?? What make and where did you get it from?
  10. Industry guidance for felling trees above an undergound water main. I have referred to HSE G47, and NJUG10, but i can not find anything that gives spacific gidance for the removal of said trees. Welsh water have bent over backwards in being unhelpful in this matter, some of you loons out there must have to do this, what do you refer to ?

    Dodder.

    It has a beautiful pink flower, and quite common on the western oceanic heaths around here.
  12. The block of Sitka next to the larch i am currently clearfelling is all massively defoliated. I have been meaning to look into why, and now i probably know why. Thankyou
  13. Shame you are so far from me, as the mighty Nuffield Zetor combo would be ideal for extracting your wood.
  14. That looks like a Vapourer moth catapilla
  15. I use the Colorado around the coast here in Pembrokeshire with the kids. Not as fast as a sit on, but very stable on the water, and very portable. Just be careful with fishing hooks. All in all brilliant.
