I like my 362, nice balance particularly with a 15" bar. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.

You taking apart your logging tape, and the spring bridges the terminals on your spare battery. Causing you to drop everything from the shock, and loose all but one screw. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.

I am thinking that it might be a convolvulus hawkmoth catterpillar, as they can vary in colour from apple green to purplish brown.

It all boils down to money, if you have enough get a bigger one. If you don't, you can't. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.

Beginners guide to rigging.......
slack ma girdle replied to Adam Bourne's topic in Rigging and roping
It should be standard practice to let all rigged pieces run as far as possible with gradual and gentle breaking. I expect my groundies to stop the piece just before it hits the ground where possible. I do not like nasty shaking in the tree, and it reduces the excess loading on my equipment. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first. -
Advice on how to process first thinings
slack ma girdle replied to Treemover's topic in Firewood forum
I would make up an A frame for the back of your tractor like this: This will enable you to skid out the trees in whole lenghts, or if they are small diameter trees, then in bundles of 6-10. If the trees are not going to be split, then they need to be stored off the ground, otherwise they will rot quickly, particularly Sycamore, Birch, and Alder. Smaller diameter timber will also not need splitting, but it will take longer to season. 25 acres is probably going to produce more than you will have time to deal with, so you will need either to sort out a buyer wholesale, or divide the wood up into 3 or 4, and do it over 3 or 4 years. Good luck

It is most likely the lime hawk moth, but the Eyed hawk moth also has the a blue tail on its rear end, but it does not have the red flecks on its sides.

If you are having to clear the line first, hand dig the post holes and set them properly, then i recon to do about 100meters a day by hand.

I use my rods for everything less than 60 feet, as it is much quicker, i get the branch that i want, and there is no tangling. It also means that my groundie can start cutting branches whilst i am climbing up.

I have started using the plastic hooks from lobster pots, that wash up on the beach. Much heavier duty and free.

As a regular user of a Browns death trap, i do not have a problem with them. They have there querks, which take a bit of getting used to. The first time i used it i was scared witless, working that close to a spinning blade of death. But with practice i have become used to it, and it now longer scares me witless. It now takes me less than 20 minutes to cut enough logs to fill a M3 section in my trailer.

If the blade is not a TCF one, they are easy to sharpen yourself with a file, and will only take about half an hour. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.

I can, but the P & P from west Wales will be a killer.

Having had not a brilliant day, the nuffield got stuck twice. I decided to film the mighty Nuffield had at work pulling out trees for fire wood, quality is not brilliant as it was filmed on my phone. I also had to drive a bit slower so that i could hold the phone and film. Most of the steering was done with the brakes, as the ground is very slippery (lots of clay). I new that that was going to be the hardest part of the wood to extract from, and i should have cleared it first, but a servear case of C.B.A (Cant be A---D) Bobs barking is important as it aids the Nuffiields traction.
