was once i think! they are indigestion time-bombs tbh:scared1:doesnt stop me eating them though:001_tongue:

i hardly seem to come across this fabled mobile phone receprion stuff:001_tongue:has anyone got any spare? Actually, i am on o2, and it is really really good; in this part of cornwall at least!

Ew! Best of luck mate. Good choice on the private hosp.

That looks proper gnarly! Are those fencing staples they have used to stitch the wound? Talk about NHS underfunding!

haha. Thought that may be picked up on:001_tongue: There is a story behind that, suffice to say a mate felled one, couldnt ident it but knew a man who could, and i ended up putting the small -about 15"- diameter trunk on the bandsaw. Wouldnt have even recognized the genus otherwise! BTW, although the trunk was only 15" dia., we counted well over 150 growth rings, and it was some of the heaviest timber i have handled!

oops- just noticed mine is nearly out! arbtalking!

now thats an idea!

Heres a before and after on a couple of beeches on saturday. Just a trim to let light in- some tricky electric wires and a road on the near side. To my mind the lower left branch on the left tree in the after pic should have come off also, but the customer wanted to leave it. It looks ok from the house. Any comments welcome.

I have a vermeer 620i. Its old, a bit tatty looking, and i have put a 35hp deutz twin cylinder diesel on it. It is basically unstoppable. Possible improvements...hard to find any except for age, noise level, oil leak, old technology.....i could go on hahaha actually thinking about it, a new machine would be lurverly.lol It hasnt let me down though yet.

Dont get a villager. Woodwarm are awesome,and have a clear glass thing going on, as are ones made by jotul, aga/rayburn (but i have a feeling they arent marketed under that) and morso.

Can anyone a: make out the damage to the bark on this syc from my crap photos, and b: tell me what it might be. There are no fruiting bodies i could see, other sycs of the same size within feet of this one and no visible probs.::confused1:ATTACH]11822[/ATTACH]

sounds like a nice3 versatile set up. Got me thinking....wonder what the quality of the cut would be with 3/8 chain.......better i reckon, and less likely to "grab" when too much forward pressure is applied when sawing. Have fun. Hope your sprocket arrives soon. I hate waiting for gear like that when you really want to get on.

is that gleditsia triacanthos- honey locust?

Yeah, you cant mix chain pitch / sprocket size- the .404 chain wont sit in the 3/8 chain sprocket properly. Are you waiting for a 3/8 sprocket for the saw or the double ended bar- i take it you mean the saw and that you have a conventional bar for it and a load of 3/8 ripping chain?

Been using chainsaw mills for over ten years now. Started out with double headed (2x076av) stihl setup with 56" bar. STihl stopped supplying the mill- if it ever actually was from them- but continued with the double ended bar for a while. The next one was an alaskan, which i have run ever since on a single 088 with a four foot bar, using stihl rcx .404 ripping chain. It buries the oregon stuff. Make sure you have an oiler at the far end of the bar if you do go that big tho'. The ladder set up for first cut is the best i have found, although granberg (who make the alaskan) advise all sorts of wooden rail set-ups. Keep the chain really sharp, and dont take the rakers down as much as you would on a cross cutting chain. It cuts slower, but it wont dig in leaving unsightly grooves across your board/ log, and will give a better cut. I also have a mobile bandsaw, and on a good day, the chainmill will give a cut nearly as good as the bandsaw. I have seen the logosol machines used with an 088 sporting (i think) about a 20" bar, with a picco chain making feather edge. Not used one though. Oh yeah, granberg make an attachment for milling at 90 degrees to the first cut, for sectioning out timber. I foung it to be a waste of money btw. Hope this helps not bores the pants off you. Happy milling!

The machine you are looking for is called a "flail Mower" i think- its like a beefed up flail hedgetrimmer, but mounted on the three point linkage, front or rear.

damn. Only just got in from work. Cool thread, wish i hadnt missed it. Would have said about 70ft. Honest!!!

hahahahah....nice one! I have bought 7 new saws, all stihl except one 262xp husky. All the stihls came with fuel in them, and fully assembled by the dealers- 2 different ones. I thought that this was a stihl policy.

He-he! oh yeah-Funny vid.

cant wait to see those. lucky you!!

'nice' cornish pasty?: cornish nasty more like lol:001_smile: only kidding:001_tongue:

:QUOTE=skyhuck;111244]IMO, second hand good quality beats new poor quality every time. There is a reason the good gear makes good money second hand.

no- nissan cabstars arent limited by that. If you dont require 4x4 then they really are the dogs- indestructable, carry loads, and fit into really tight places. I havent even got a cabstar Landrover tipper me!

wendy it is:thumbdown:

:The nicest part was when i stopped watching... God?!? Save it for church:001_smile: I dont mean to cause offence, but i do find links to u.s./canadian, or any, religious sites offensive.
