Yeah I am leaning towards the legit route, simly because for £400 ish the job would be done, and no headaches. I reckon it could cost more than that in man power doing it heath robinson stylee anyway. As far as legalities is concerned, TBH it is such a quiet backroad that we could probably just close it and no-one would know. Its virtually a private estate road anyhow, to all intents and purposes. Couple of guys with 'stop-works' signs would do it I should think....

Standing. Thanks Mate- yes i have, ill call him tomorrow. Never thougt of him:thumbup1:

Any ideas what standing doug is going for on average? Would be big trees, as per my extraction thread- at 42' they need a top diameter of 16".
-
Any ideas welcome here. I have to fell about 25 doug firs, whic at 42' length need to have a top diameter of 16", so they are going to be fairly lumpy. they will get skidded to ride-side; the ride itself has just been put in and is massive, in preparation for alot more forestry (nowt to do with me BTW), and the final destination is only about 500yds up the road. I have had a few ideas, including even dragging up the road!!!!! However even though it is a tiny back road that rarely sees any traffic, this is not an option. Any ideas more ideas, wacky or otherwise?

Nene are about as expensive as you can get, and yes, they are the only things that will last and last and last and come back for more.......hence the amount of series landrovers still in work out there. Been burnt too many times on cheap landies/ "bargains" mozza, finally learnt:001_rolleyes:

Such as.......? They use defenders in the china clay pits in StAustell, possibly one of the harshest environments possible for a vehicle. Daimler-benz own all the vehicles, as a leasing company, and the garage I use have the servicing contract. About 3 years back daimler benz got fed up with the servicing costs and the fact that vehicles were just getting killed, eg a £20k 110 was fetching about £300 in auction aged 3 years in the worst case. So they bought a fleet of rangers and some hiluxes. After 6 months they got rid of that lot, as 80% were either completely knackered or beyond ecenomical repair. The only ones that survived were the managers ones which never went in the pits. They wewnt back to defender. To me that says it all.

Hey treebloke, you know my brother Jim- giant of a bloke, has a toyota lardcruiser. He has just joined Arbtalk as Pugwash.

Not the aus military who still use landrover, as toyota dont stand up to the abuse. The reason toyota are so successful is the trade arrangemebnts they have in the southern hemisphere.
