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

That looks big enough to live in.

Last load of scrap i weighed in, i got £190 for two hours work. You do the maths. -
That looks like the flight deck of the star ship Enterprise, are the Klingon on the starboard bow.

I think that each of the strenghts should be given a value, and each of the weakness's a value. Then take one from the other, low value higher risk. It will make it easier for the public to understand.

Naf all, although first thinnings tend to be clearing out racks, the re-spacing is random, down to the cutters judgment. The wood is a mix of natural re-gen, and planted spruce, hence the random bit. I will post some pictures when i am next there. That will be something to look forward to.

It is spear cutting of small runty tree to allow the better ones more space and less competition.
-
Don't start that one again, there is a time and a place for that.

I'm not going to gloss over the unpleasant nature of this work, apparantly it is good for your sole.

I need a couple of fools for utterly mindless re-spacing this Thursday and Friday near Martletwy west Wales. I won't mention the Brambles and gorse, that can be a nice supprise. P.M if you are intrested
