  1. It was probably this post i had alot of trouble with mine, ended up getting a direct feed straight to the up/down buttons.
  2. You will need to think about the legal implications of letting someone loose in your woods if there is an accident. You will be probably liable . I have 5 small woodlands that I use for crosscut & maintenance and felling upto 200mm, and never get to the 5m3 felling licence requirements when running the course. Even with me running the course in woods that i manage, there is always mess that needs tidying up, stumps lowering etc, but in the long term it is a benefit for the estates.
  3. I am not going to be able to unsee that. Tell him the fool in west Wales says hi, next time you see him
  4. There are lots of small tree companies here in west Wales most are pretty good. Which area were you thinking?
  5. Far south west Wales . No idea money wise. I haven't needed it since i got the Log Bullet. Give us a tinkle 07966792798
  6. Always a good game to see how far you can get them to jump off the stump
  7. I have a Fransguard 3500 twin drum
  8. Turns out that this is a Truffle Gall.
  9. Depends on how desperate the mill is. Aim for £80 per m3. Spruce saw logs here are £67 per tonne. Apparently there isn't much demand at the moment.
  10. This isn't fung, probably Stemonitis slime mold
  11. Best way to remove fox shit. 20240308_160245.mp4
  12. Smaller scale forestry is the devil's own work. Dispite the fantastic videos showing how effective the machine is, the output never justifies the machine. By the sound of it for the money you are spending on the Iron Horse, you would be better off getting a Logbullet. With a Doosan 6 tonne digger with grab or tree shear , Logbullet , and tractor & forwarder, i can just about cover the felling & extraction costs with volumes over 100 tonnes of smaller trees.
  13. This set up seems to work well
  14. I like the fact that the ground crew whilst filming couldn't watch at certain points.
  15. @Malus ere ya go, loverley logs. I suspect that the top one will be rippled
  16. Yes you are overthinking this, but it means that you are not being blaise about the risks. Getting the tree hung up means that you won't get a shower of dead wood being pinged back at you when a felled tree falls through the canopy. Make sure your escape roots are clear and crack on. Once you have delt with a few, you will get a feel for it. Or get a 6-8 tonne digger in.
  17. I am out there on Monday, and i will take a couple of pictures .
  18. If it was fire damage , i would expect to see alot more damage to the base of the tree to correspond with the levels of damage higher up. I don't think squirrels like horse chestnut, so i would be heading for some form of canker, or kids
  19. £100 per m3
  20. If you fancy a road trip out west, i have a couple of Beech stems that are 10' long and about 24" top diameter.
  21. Smooth rigging
  22. I have 4 sets of the Stihl pro comms for about 18 months. Despite a very wet winter they are still working fine The noise reduction means you can talk next to a running chipper and be heard by all. The only thing that lets them down is the stupid visor mount.
