i have always thought it was himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera), am i wrong?

thanks guys

im going to canada for a month on saturday might buy some cheap shizzz

just took a few pics of what the pond we dug looks like now its looking great now im actually really pleased with my work

haha nahhh, we do have 2 bandsaws though, the one is set up and run by an old zetor but its all cover and hasnt been used this year because of the weather, this is the first year since it has been set up (20years probs) it hasnt been used, then we have a huge bandsaw thats all in pieces in a shed, that has never been set up, it has a maximum cut of about 6 or 7 foot, i'll talk to my granddad and find out what it actually could do, and maybe pursaude him to set it up o yeah and we just bought a portable bandsaw off some guy and we are getting that in september when we come back from canada, well looking forward to using it, can cut a log 20ft long

Took these photos back in the winter when i first got my mill, i thought i had posted them on here, but i guess i didnt haha Well here they are, this was the first time we used the mill and i loved it 36" Granberg Alaskan Mill with a Sachs Dolmar 153 (100cc) running a 25" bar and .404 ripping chain, milling some cedar that we had knocking around the yard.

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
