Did you not strip the gold lacker off so it looked a bit like the pro burner.

Slightly embarrassing depth gauge question

And there was me thinking that you were a chainsawing GOD. -
Thought about it, but not got around to it. Does that help ?

It burn better than Laylandii, you need to season it to reduce the levels of resin, otherwise it its a bit poppy, and will tar up your chimney very quickly. The moisture content will drop in about six months if split and stacked, but the resin levels do take longer.

The lidl have been brilliant, can not beat them for value for money. Also switching to mic setting is very good for sourcing unusual enginne noises, just make sure that the volume setting is turned down.

Ere you go:

If the ground is soft half bury 3 or 4 logs that the tractor can drive over pulling the skidded trees onto the half buried logs. You can then cross cut without burying the chain. P.S. it does not always work, but when it does its marvolus

Dear god that is an unrulely pile of timber. Judging by the bleached wood on the top of the pile that has been there a while, at a guess 'there be rotting wood in the middle of the pile' Run away run away -
Posts are 2-3" or 3-4" diameter and 5'6" or 6' long, so you have a pile of fire wood.

Skidding out in whole lengths for what you want is going to be the way forward. Make yourself an A frame for the back of the tractor. I made mine for £20 and has pulled out about 1500 m3 so far.. Don't bother with short lenghts they will either get lost on the way out or snag and flick onto the tractor, or both If you want i can send some pictures of my A frame for inspe.ration

Here you go, see what you have been missing. There should be some video footage, but the curse of the brambles claimed its prize, my helmet camera So you will have to make do with some nice photos. There was some before as well but i managed to delete them. (fools of the world unite)

I have a feeling that the bloke has only got one arm, hence the unusual starting procedure. -
Thats alright, we have been amusing ourselves. Would you like to start again..........

Given the pittance that is paid for commercial planting by the likes of Tilhill etc, it is a miracal that the trees are planted the right way up. You do not good get good planting at 12p per tree.

I think that £4-500 is more realistic, which is what i paided for my scabby old winch.

Does re-spacing count, or do you have to count the mushrooms ?
-
Clear fell or thin, if thinning what percentage ?

I would rather have hi lift wedges, they will take alot more abuse.

Thats one knarly looking moose.

I have a meeting in Lawrenny next week , and i will mention about a load of hairy buttocked tree people swinging around in trees. I should be able to sort out a camping area, with fire pit and a nice view, and if you are really good a few trees to climb. The only trouble is i am a long way west.

Me too.

The saw certainly was not over a £1000 when new.

Sagely words for the young padawan there Lyn.

Try a long extension bar if there is room, it will give you alot more control on the amount of pressure you need to exert. GOOD LUCK
