  1. OOOHHH you gone and got your new toy stuck. At least you have done it in style, well done keep up the good work.
  2. Read em and weep hairy arsed tree cutters, I'm Technical middle class
  3. Bring it on, more videos please. Better than watching Laurel and Hardy. (I will let you decide who is Hardy)
  4. Pure filth, you lucky lucky man. When is the vid coming of it in action.
  5. I got a tariff of 30 from table 11 page 112, hence .65m3
  6. Spruce spikey Fir soft Larch itchey
  7. It normally takes until 3ish for Bob to slow down.
  8. We ended using the knocker for the strainers and intermeadiates only. Because of the bendy nature of the fence posts and Chestnuts ability to split easily, and the difficultly of getting the tractor in to 50% of the fence line, all the fence posts were hit in by hand. I did try to source one of those vibrating post drivers to go on the end of a mini digger, but the costs were too high. We did a timed test run with 10 posts, it was 5 minutes quicker by hand. Last 80 meters today, having notched up 2500m. I am going to feel the warm embrace of Sweet lady cider tonight.
  9. After the awfull weather of last week, sunshine. Just a short vid driving the Zetor out to the work site. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBN5qUfvsas]Out onto Stackpole head - YouTube[/ame]
  10. Have a rumage through here: Forest Research - Publications on harvesting and transport It should give you some ideas.
  11. AAAHHHH don't tempt me with your shiney forestry filth.
  12. Who said that owners don't look like their dogs.
  13. Bigger than the Gomtaro, and it has not been hardened like most of the silky range. Masaru Sheathed Saws, UK - Silky Fox I have had mine about 6 years. I sharpen it with the feather edge file once or twice a year. Judging by the cut on my finger it is as sharp as the day i bought it.
  14. I think that i would go loopy thinning 15 acres with a small tracted dumper. If it is wet and soft then i think you should be looking for a horse, or a Alstor.
  15. those branches are probably as big as some of our big trees over here.
  16. Would a small tractor and winch not suit you better ? The main problem that i can see is that a small tracted dumper is small, and therefore not gong to be able to move much economically.
  17. Vid i see no Vid
  18. Still trying to shift my £300 chipper blade voucher. Any takers ? PM with a sensible offer
  19. Hi Sean, is the Huskie 238 still alive ? Best little saw i have ever used.
  20. You will be wanting one of these, £2 from a car booty. I think that Clifton design in Bristol have tooth setters in stock
  21. Fell to waste, what a waste
  22. Me too
  23. Woken at 1 to the sounds of someone trying to help themselves to the rota and grab on the forworder. At this point i though it was stolen. Had to wait 2 hours for the police to give a statment. 3 hours sleep then load up the trailer, as i pull away i look in the mirror only to see said rota and grab appear from under the trailer. What a......... I can not think of the words to discribe the relief. Managed to drag it into the workshop, off to work. Dismantled and re-built 280m of stock fencing, with sky larks singing, bumble bees flying, and peregrine falcons bonding by locking tallons and spiralling down. It has been a roller coaster of emotions today, quite day tomorrow please.
