Branch logger OR Bilke S3 - Any good ? opinions please
daveindales replied to Bustergasket's topic in Firewood forum
If your interested, I have a branch logger for sale due to no longer selling firewood. It's in immaculate condition. SMH70. Done under 500 nets from new. Always being stored in garage -
This is my first post on the new site. Got to say, I preferred the old style site. Seemed a lot simpler to use. This seems a bit more cluttered and complicated to navigate. Maybe it's me not taking enough time to work things out? However, I know it cost a few thousand, and I know Steve must have done it for the better. So,I'll persevere.

Good bench grinder and a jig. I've sharpened mine for the last 12 years. Father in law is a joiner and had a good grinder and jig. TW blades. -

And it's cheaper. -
Read the original version. Defiantly have to read this version.

Just finished reading 'Forgotten Highlander' a book about a scots experiences as a POW of the Japanese. Read the whole book in a day. One of the best and most moving books I've read in ages. Highly recommended. Taken prisoner, starved almost to death, tortured, suffered with cholera, dysentery, Beri Beri, malaria. Transported in a death ship and sunk by the Americans, survived for 5 days adrift on the ocean. Finally, transported to Japan. Nagasaki of all places, where he experienced the dropping of the atomic bomb. If you get the chance, give it a read, and remember what some people went through for our freedom.

There it goes again. Never heard any ringing all day. As soon as I check out this thread, I can hear ringing.
-
Missed that one!!! I also find that by concentrating, I can make the ringing louder.
-
I'm wondering if tinnitus can be in part psychological? I only become aware of the ringing if I think about it, or am reminded of it. I'd never thought about it for months, and as soon as I read this post, I can hear it. Anyone else experience this?

Taken a look at Zelkova Serrata and the leaves do look a bit like those. Still not sure though
-
To be honest, the bark did seem a bit 'beech like', if it is Nothofagus it's the first one I've seen in the Dales or since leaving college over 20 years ago.
-
Ok, I'm quite good with my tree indents usually, but this one has me a little stumped. Both sides of leaf are rough to the touch. The twig, together with the rough leaves remind me of elm, or perhaps zelcova. Defiantly not Swedish whitebeam, before anyone says that.

Three men captured by female savages are told their dicks would be removed in the appropriate manner according to their job. 1st, was a lumberjack so his would be chopped off. 2nd, was a butcher so his would be sliced off. The 3rd was laughing, when asked by his captor why he said " I work for Dyson"..

Same here. I find the weather up here plays an important role in organising my workload. If it's too bad, I simply don't work. You can't predict the weather, hence its a call to customers over the previous weekend or the night before.

Splitting hairs, but it's just over £2100 for the higest band in K&C. Just checked. I pay just over £2000 for a band E bungolow in the Yorkshire Dales. Probably time there was a reassessment of council tax rates and brackets. Saying that, if it was free, I still wouldn't want to live anywhere in London.

So, you work hard all your life. Save some money for a rainy day. Hopefully leave a bit to the kids. And get penalised for it. Meanwhile, your lazy neighbour sits on his backside all his life. Never has a job, gets everything for free. Including a larger pension than you get? I know these examples are at extreme ends of the scale, but surely that can't be right?

My son is going to study full time at myerscough this year. FdSc Arboriculture. Just wondered if anyone else on here is doing the same course?
-
I think we all agree with that.

And this book contains what some people think they are entitled to.

The Tories got roughly 40 seats more than comrade Corbyn. Not a great result for them, but some people seem to think Corbyn came out on top. He didn't. I'm no Tory fanatic, and I think somebody could do a better job than May, but I'm struggling to think of anybody who would do a worse job than Corbyn, Watson, Abbott etc. This country needs strong leadership to battle with the EU bullying buerocrats. Like I say, I don't think May is the best for this job. And if I'm honest, I'm not sure which of the Tory potential leadership candidates would be best, but the left wing alternative would have been a disaster for the country.

Solo leak after a year or two. I'm using berthoud at the moment. Had them for a few years now. No complaints and no leaks. A better sprayer than solo and a far better sprayer than cooper pegler.
-
I once bought a cheap solo type sprayer having used solo sprayers in the past. Was a load of rubbish compared to the proper solo. Wouldn't buy another. But, for that price it just might suit you if only occasional use.
-
Totally agree. No chemicals are safe. What I meant was, that it wasn't banned due to concerns over its use on bracken. I spend most of late July and early August spraying bracken on moorland. I'm ultra careful when spraying, always using a marker dye. Any split shows up blue. Always washing overalls and clothes every night after use. You can never be too careful.
-
I don't think the safety of asulox was ever in doubt. It's being aerial sprayed for decades. The reason it was banned was because for some reason, it was sprayed on spinach crops. This was banned, by the EU, in turn resulting on it being banned for bracken and dock control as well. In fact, I think it's still banned for use on docks

Started in forestry at 15 in 1985. Was the first job I was offered. Then went to college for 3 years. Myerscough and Houghall and started up own small business in 1995. Still doing it now.
