    give the blokes a break with all the lives they save,it could of been during or after a storm when the tree firms could of been busy so they did what they could and got it done,my mate used to be in the fire service and used to train the other blokes with dealing with wind blown trees before health and saftey got hold of them

    sound good what you would like to do good luck with finding a wood ,If i was on the look out for a small wood to manage when buying one i would think is it near a main road could i have big costs in dealing with dangerous road side trees eg trafficmanagement and if it was would have a good look at the trees along it,hopefully the wood would have good tracks and access for a lorry to pick up wood.

    cheers. didnt load the first trailer of chipwood up full until the lorry was hitched up so could top it up. after that we had to dome the tops over the pins to get the weight with the other loads .the logs in the stack were cut at 8ft2" anything 12" and over and to be collected by a lorry with a crane
