  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. Cheers David , i am fairly sure its a sinuous chanterelle. The Earth fans don't quite fit discretion.
  4. 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.
  5. Cheers for the pointer, i think it is Pseudocraterellus undulatus, sinuous chanterelle
  6. I give up. I keep coming back to Podoscypha multizonata, but i don't think it is.
  7. 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
  8. It was growing next to the path on the ground in a Oak woodland in the Afon Prysor valley near Maentwrog, N Wales.
  9. 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...
  10. Daaaaaaaavid I am veering towards Hydnellum spp. What you reckon ?
  11. Eyelash , Wolfs fart and cinnamon porecrust. I have no idea on the last one, Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaavid
  12. 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
  13. On a tree of that size bring your mouth further back towards the centre of the tree. Bringing the pivot point back means less effort to get the bugger over. Wind is always a bugger for messing up trees as they fall, add a sizewheel or thicker hidge on the windward side which may or may not help.
  14. @doobinWoop woop, welcome to the club . It seems along time ago when mine was sat a Hull waiting to be picked up.
  15. Thats because the 'Yank' ones are degigned for biting into the thick spongy bark of redwoods. Try carrying a saw uphill through brambles with the big spikes on. Most of the time i don't use spikes/felling dogs, a sharp chain is all you need. The exception is felling downhill on steep slopes where positioning is difficult .
  16. You shouldn't need spikes for cross cutting, if the chain is sharp it should pull the saw through without an additional force from you.
  17. Why? They make it almost impossible to sned properly with. They are only useful for humbolt cuts.
  18. I've had no issues with drying in barrow bags.
  19. There is a noticeable difference between a double and tri axle. Tri is alot more stable, a lot less rocking. But a double has a lot less drag, and is easier to manoeuvre.
  20. Thats my old one, and its a 16'. I have Big J's tri axle now, which is also 16'. Tri axle is definitely better for towing the log bullet.
  21. There is nothing like a bit of forestry in dry dusty summer conditions.
