I suppose it's all relitive, as conditions per tree during the year may differ, good exercise though.
-
I think tree oficers are best kept straight out of colege and in the dark it makes our job easier in the long run i think I have to deal with nt, I think if they came from a working background there would be to many conflicts, at the moment i'm just happy to do what the recomend.

Yeh we will be, they are so high i can risk them braking up on impact also i dont want to damage any smaller trees cus it will be counter productive.
-
I use the stihl leather chainsaw gloves but like said they dont stand for much especially in the rain, i shouldn't say this but mainly use the yellow workman gloves with the rubber webbing on them, much safer to use in all conditions now if they can bring out chainsaw version we would all be saved.
-
Thanks for contact, i'll drop them in 25ft sections to save them breaking on impact, it's nice to work for an estate that cares about future of trees not just quick buck.
-
Oh had to say it's part of a 150 acre douglas fir plantation so wont be denting it
-
Don't you know it!
-
Well you seen the pictures it's a faily acient forest anyway but will help it improve in time, i've got the ms 660 with 36" bar will make light work of them.
-
is that pp m3 for fire wood, t is a shame but a few need to come out to let the other ones grow and they are being replaced as part as a managed plantation.
-
Where are you based? 24ft lenghts is fine. you need delivery? or pick up?
-
I did wonder, lucky that it has very good access, but depends on what uses for it if firewood i'll cut into small cords and chuck it on back of tractor trailer, if for comercial use will be alot more work, timber jack would be nice but proberly put me out of job lol.
-
Well that may be telling lol but it is more than £15 per tonne, I'm buying it as fire wood but will decide when i get it down what to do with it, the owner seems egar to get t down so will see.
-
Hope these are viewable.
-
Actually i'll pop up in a min to get a few photos
-
Theres about ten acres to fell. I can get them to roadside so plenty of access, I'll be using the 660 me thinks. I have to go price up the job and let them know what i'm interested in on tuesday so will post lots of pictures of site. Anyone interested pm me so i dont forget.
-
as it stands there over 100ft so can cut any lengths and range from 30-50in in diameter (just a rough guess need to mesure but wont be far off), based in somerset but could deliver or work something out.
-
Thanks guys, glad it burns well, shame no mills want it as it makes lovly beams i feel bad about doing it.

looking for a saw any suggestions
samarb replied to desired_affect's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Hi I use the ms170 for pruning work and most up tree work. at the moment it is being used by the new lad, who has dropped it, landed trees on it and generally given it a hard time and is still going strong so would recomomend it to any one, especially as it's cheap and light. -
I took the truck up on the local hill to do a bit of snow driving when coming back down there were all these muppets trying to get up with no grasp on how it should be done. It turned out all the problems was caused by a merc driver with slick tyres trying to get up hill and wondering why he wasn;t getting any grip.
-
I want one, i'm in line for a double cab and the extras would be ideal, can you tell me who done it?
-
Hi guys, still deciding on saw, ordered a ms880 but thinking of changing mind. it will be an every day saw mainly running on 25in bar. If any one can offer any help on deciding i would be greatful.
