agreed, our yard gets so wet and can only be accessed by 4x4 or tractor, about 2ft of mud at the one end in the winter, and my granddad and I and going to canada on friday for month to see family and what not, so while we are gone my second cousin or some relative like that is going to level out tons large pieces of concrete and large pieces of rubble that we got for free with a 360

yeahhh tis my video, and took this pic with a disposable camera

haha yeahh gotta love it though

yeah personally i would go with a winch, i would say is more use than a grapple, choker chains round budles would work a treat: heres our old fransguard winch and it works a treat

mines got one too tis a beast

I see We have decided that we arent really undercharging that much, see 80% of our wood we get for free, we only have to pay for haulage, cutting it and delivery, the rest is profit, plus our wood isnt the highest of quality, its not like a bulk bag of ash lol

There is a lot of threads about firewood bags, to be honest i hate doing them, most of the time we just cut/split it straight and onto the landy. When we have some spare time we cut a few bags full and keep them to one side, for when some needs some wood asap or if we dont have enough time to cut a load. Also we use old bags from building supply place, and its bloody annoying when you pick one up with the loader and it splits lol. Just wondering what other people do? Always use bags? Keep a few filled on the side? O yeah how much do people charge for a bags? (if you dont mind me asking) We sell 2 for £50 or £60 Heres some pics of us loading them onto the landy with the crane.

wow, i havent heard of that one either, hmm

amazing saws, i really want one, especially with the beastly filters just thought i would share some pics of my 153

very nice pics, love them i would love to see some pics of those trailers, where abouts are they?

i bidded on it but lost i was one of the people who pm'ed him about shipping straight away. would have loved to have that, to build up my working dolmar collecion, we have one of the first (by that i mean first batch of dolmars) to come into the country

it could be 3/8 or .404, Depends what sprocket and bars on it, we put whatever on our saws just depends what we have kicking around, just put a .404 chain and an old dolmar bar on the 440

yeah i agree with you there, but seriously the police will do **** all seen as though we live near leominster and im sure many of you have heard the stories... haha

nah we havent reported it, theres no point really they are scared of the scum so they wont do anything...

ha exactly i have no idea why they wanted this grab, it was bent and buckeled, welded up in places, about 50 yards away from this hiab was the forwarder with a much newer grab on... they are a totally diffent breed of animal

There have been loads of thefts of anything and everything around out area recentlty, Herefordshire, towards the welsh border. Last night our yard was broken into and the bastards tried to steal a timber grab and rotator off a hiab mounted on a fordson major, they managed to undo 2 of the pipes but the other 2 wouldnt budge so they got a hacksaw to that and dragged the whole grab around the tractor. This must have been 8 o clock ish. We saw that someone had been in there when we drove by after that because we have a big curtain sider used as a shed in there, and the doors where open, thats when we saw the grab, so we picked the grab up and put it in the hedge with the hiab arm on top. This morning we found the grab dragged out further and the gate off its hinges, but the grab was still there. The whole of this morning we spend loading easily stealable stuff, the grab logsplitters winchs ect. onto a trailer and hiding it well away from the yard, we also moved our forwarding trailer somewhere else. So nothing was lost, which is good, but watch out cus these bastards are about.

thanks for all the great feedback everyone, much apprieated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha actually i was getting paid £5 and hour to play in a digger, ent bad if you ask me haha nahh sorry i havent been doing forestry stuff that long, i did first take the pistons out of a fordson engine when i was about 12 though haha

very nice, would love to do a job like that soon. Is the yarder yours? Who makes them? Would it be better to have a timber grab on the mini digger?

Havent been on in a while, dunno why just not enough time really Just thought i would share some pics of my first felling job i did a few months ao, by that i mean the first job i did like by myself i was running the show it was me felling and a mate of mine helping out on the machines. Doesnt seem like a big job, but it ent bad for a 16 year old. The job was fall a lot of the big willow and alder trees in this marsh, and then dig the marsh out into a nice pond, i'll get some pics of what it looks like now, the pond looks lovely We had access to some nice kit to: Steyr Tractor and our Patu Forwading Trailer Manitou Loader 17ton Daewoo Excavator 5ton Dumper

haha we sell bags 2 full for £50, not sure on the diemensions though, just the average 1 ton bags
