What it means is the FC expect 5 trees planted for every stem felled. With 5 stems replanted the expectation will be one of the five will get established and replace the felled stem. Usually I would expect a minimum stocking density of 1100 stems per hectare. If planting for productive purposes you can stipulate a higher restocking rate. Ultimately the FC are regulating to make sure there is no net loss of canopy cover nationally.

Thank you

Thanks for the heads up ?

Hello...I’m trying to buy some oak to mill for fencing. Any ideas what fencing oak is per hoppus foot roughly? Thanks in advance.

If possible leave the structure ie branches or pegs on as it will stop it rolling. Straight down from a re-direct will be better as it will follow the cable and use the bottom pulley on the winch it makes the nose dig in more. Across the slope means more chance of rolling IMO.

Seen a skip company called Speedy Gone Garbage and a chip shop called The Cod Father…!

Wow wisewood thats fantastic can't see the joins from the milling. The logs needs to be 2 possibly 3 meters so long could go bigger diameter and its for a landscape job. Can you get a high capacity gouge bit to attach to a long chainsaw bar?

I have a possible project and need to hollow out a 80 cm diameter log. I guess it needs to be split in half first and then remove the wood any ideas that would help i.e. methods or tools.

Had them for six month had Haix for years before. So far very happy with them, no problems of any type. Dry, warm and hard wearing and still look newish.

Reduction........?

Mine has had to go back for a total rebuild and new engine after a a 60ft drop on to the road the clip popped out as i pulled it up not even stuck and on a bungee. Poor is an understatement for a pro saw.

I have one which i have worked hard for 2 years and its very good. Get the highest spec you can afford as i cuts down on labour costs I have the 85h model with remote control ( makes a good winch a great winch) didn't get the hydraulic feed which is a mistake as it gets rid of all the cable lay problems because it always puts the cable on the drum under pressure so no kinks or overlaps which as the cable gets older breaks your heart. The bits you choke your chain to are a weakness but i think its the same on most. If i was you i would have a good look at Uniforest, Krapen which looks strong and i like the hinged butt plate and BGU which has a good starting spec.

Been thinking for a while that a possible route was to get a dedicated forestry trailer minus crane but with brakes and steering draw bar and stitching a crane like these on.
