    yeah I get that part fella, and wouldnt have it anyother way, I think arbs have been missing a trick for many many moons. If I told you how well ive made of the few trees ive downed recently you would be gobsmacked, and when Ive done with this huge commision i will spill the beans on all the details with some pics. aside from the big commision been doing bits and bobs inbetween with timber ive cut, and lots of parts ie hoarded to go with stuff as it comes up, its all a matter of storing till one can make the most of it all. By the Way, the plastic wheels well one of them nearest the exhaust went into a melt down but ive replaced them with two full alloy roller blade wheels. My Mill combo now 56" mill GB 64" bar winch oiler and roller blades makes my life a pure pleasure, though loading 11Ft 2.5 inch thick by 900 wide Bar tops green into the trailer single handed is somewhat of a farm jackers chalenge! thanks for all the videos too, made the transition very easy:thumbup1:

    Yes, afer trying to fit a 70mm normal UJ I had to phone Craddocks and it seems that I have a wide angle prop hence the 95mm UJ that I was trying to replace made the 75mm a loose one! So lesson learned, grease, grease and yet more grease, then grease it again! done me a tube of grease doing both landies today:lol: Your spot on, but then Im still in the learning phase of landrover ownership! I have never been a mechanical kind of guy but took on the landies to educate myself in as basic a way as pssible, and have to say while chalenging me I am learning a lot, even started on the filling of minor dents today!

    So I am either very unlucky or this is a major and regular issue! PROPSHAFT UJ on my new aquisition failed! this 110 must be lifted at least 4 inch its so high! took her down to dartmoor for a trial before a long journey to Bulgaria in a few weeks and well i never, I felt the tell tale vibration near home on the M25, nursed her back in one checked out the UJ just now and sure enough she is as loose as a hoars knickers! So for all those that say a double cardon prop aint needed i say Phuh!

    agreed, ive seen some very nice furniture turned out of aspen recently. got a 4ft thick lump that im gonna mill soon as its dried out a little, worth consideration as 4 inch thick tables IMO

    ease yourself into it boy, stamina takes time to build:lol: I think the longest hunt I ever went on was with Tobias, 6am to 6pm! but it was epic!

  13. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    No I havent, but then I generaly see a gano and move on! my tinkering is long over these days! and personaly I would hazard at australe rather than applanatum/lipsiense on this one, not that its really viable to guess at photos on these two

    I bought a scythe a while back, as my partner and I (mostly I) move into a more back country way of life im strating to realise modernity isnt always improvement! Rather than old fashioned I would say it is the coolest way to cut straw/grass and wheat

    dry rot fungus of homes, seprula lacramans will not be found in your wood pile, if your LUCKY you might find the wild serpula the S. himantoides in the wood pile

    on a monkey! thats a new one!
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    a modern pollard is a young one, and ancient pollard was not done the same way. many opinions divide over the subject, best to read all the opinions and draw ones own conclusions! great question!
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    pore colour?
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    of course one would need to consent to being fined on the spot, give it some thought please, before you give your name and them joinder, before you "understand" (stand under in legalese)
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    this isnt really true, one can do a good job of wacking a tree and a bad job, the ones here are bad versions! and thats allowing for whatever the customer said or didnt!
