The bearcat ones are good. Ive had a 50 for a few years and have only just upgraded to a pto one due to a change in work loads etc. H

Hi There, I was just wondering what your thoughts are on the different Euc species. Was it just Omeo that you tried and where did you get the seed from? Im just looking at planting up a small area of my forest for firewood production. Thanks, Hugh

Hi, Have you been in touch with East Brothers in Salisbury? I do know they would be interested. H

Hi mate, How are you getting on with the saw? Did you buy in the end? H

I use a application called picsizer. Its a old one but is very simple to use. nothing fancy. h

Have you tried Stobart Biomass? If you have a full wagon load worth they might be able to help. H

You could also fit a 1.6667 transfer box but the vehicle is less usable/slower for anything else. H

Anything happened here mate? H

(First post) Planting a native woodland, East Sussex
hplp replied to spandit's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Looking at the pictures, it looks like you have made some good decisions. Densely planting is the way to go as it will reduce the time till the canopy closes and thereby reducing weed control costs but also draw the trees up, giving you nice straight stems. Standard commercial forestry is usually planted at either 1.6 or 2m spacing so thats good. You will loose some but at least if you have them densely planted, the others are not too far away. Another suggestion is to keep a eye out as you drive around the local lanes as the road banks are often full of natural regen which make cheap beat up/fill in trees. Thats what I do in Ireland anyway. Have you thought about fertilizer too? As well as the weed matting/weed spraying, its another way to really get them going. H -
Im sure the huntsman went everywhere when you cut into that!

Photos of trusses we have made for barn restorations
hplp replied to farmerjohn's topic in Woodcraft Forum
How have they repaired that? Is it a complete roof off( and very costly) or can/has it been repaired cheaper? Thanks, H -
i managed to get a very good 084 off ebay for £375. If you can stretch, id do that. They are real monsters! There was another sold on this forum for £400 so they are about. H

Im hoping to head out in january/feb too. Have you any definate plans yet as to what you're going to do out there? I havnt bar hoping to buy a vehicle when I land and then have a tour around. Hugh

You can get a good 084 for roughly £400 off ebay (thats what I paid for the last two Ive had) and thats probabily your best bet I would recommend. Nothing compares to abit of power! H

Hey, Could one of the mods possibly move this to the trading place section? I realise this might be better there...... H

hello, Im looking for a smaller (4" but will consider larger) chipper to do up. I'll consider anything anywhere in the UK or Ireland and any setup (pto, powered, self propelled, etc). A 4" small towed one self powered would be ideal but come back to me if you have anything else for sale! Cash waiting. Thanks, Hugh

Eeerrrmmmm, If anything Id have said that the overdrive is a better option to the disco transfer box as its permanently higher across all the gears while with the overdrive you keep the option of the low first and second. This is dependant on a level playing field in terms of cost though. I have had disco transfer boxes in my 2 tdi defenders, but id have second thoughts with a TD5 and if you more often than not carry large loads. They need to be reved to make them go and if the gears are too high you'll burn out the clutch much quicker. The fuel saving id say is debatable when you consider the cost of fitting a overdrive. Id suggest you buy a cheap disco transferbox off ebay and try it and then go from there. At least you can sell it on if it doesnt work out and put the origional one back in. H

Whats the price of it? H

The V8 is in and just running. I have been too busy to have a go with the gas. I may try by the summer. H

I know this may sound obvious but is there any sign of rust staining around the header tank? I had a silly header tank split at the back and it took me ages to find it and isolate the leak. H
