    Blossom wilt is very common. The most effective method of dealing with it that i have found is cut out all of the infected wood in mid to end of June. You also have to insure that all dropped leaves and blossom are removed, and again in the autumn.

    Did the cherry tree flower this year ? Did the blossoms wilt early and are they still attached. I am looking at this on my phone and i can not really tell. If so then then the cherries have blossom wilt. I think that cherries can not catch fireblight, so that rules that out. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.

    When you get the rhythm, that little bit of bounce really helps with footlocking. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.

    It has taken me four years to build up from scratch: 1x Nuffield of power. 1x winch with no name. 1x log splitter. 1x saw bench. These have been bought second hand and all have needed work. Currently as things stand i am desperate for a 4x4 tractor, but running the above seem to drain any savings that i manage to aquire. This year i am hoping that i will see a bigger return on firewood as production will be trippled. My point to this how are you going to finance this, your kit list is a huge outlay. Forestry is probably more cut throat than any other industry. Furthermore you will be competing against people with many more experiance. Both of the above will count heavily against you, and if it all goes pear shaped you will have no work and owe a large amount of money. I am not trying to put you off as foresty is very satisfying. Good luck. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.

    Clarke cut and climb are pretty cheap for all things of a forestry nature. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.

    By the discription you will get mostly 5'6" out, and you need 75 ish per ton. No matter how hard you work you will lose money. You need a mix of small/large trees so you can bump up the tonage to make it worth while. Think carefully before you commit.

Evans the log gets the prize for the worst nightmare: flooding 2 saws in the cross cut section. Winners: Novice:Steve Jones Under 24: Alun morgan Pro: Dewi Williams Big thankyou to the judges who did a very good job.

    Drill the heads off, remove the blades, and use a stud extractor with a long extention bar. When you drill the heads do not drill out any more than you have to, the longer the stud, the better chance of removal. If that does not work (and hope that it does) you will have to drill out the bolts and re cut new threads. Before you put new bolts in, make sure the new ones have a libral coating of copper ease, which should prevent them from getting stuck again. Good luck

    Having tried various chimney top to reduce back draft (large trees 20 feet from chimney), all of the ones we have tried made no difference, dispite 100% garentees that they would work. If something apears to good to be true, then it probably is not. Sent from my Galaxy arse using Tapatalk 2

    I might have to go and check mine. I have had the saw over a year, and not noticed any play in the clutch.

    I wish i had known about Arb Talk six years ago, we probably could have saved one of the biggest Turkey oaks in Britian. The owners were worried about it falling on the public, even though there were no obvious faults........ GERR
