I'm thinking of entering a comp this year. Just wondering what the situation is with 'laying off' from the previous section and tying in binders etc Cheers
-
We are mowing yards so have better storage. I thinking about a barrel again. Can someone recommend a decent pump please or is a tap best? Cheers
-
I used stock board when i had a tipper. Just cable tied on. Good for covering a lawn if its a bit wet under foot too
-
We have front weights and guarding and its enough for the flail, winch etc and trailer on the flat. It is a bit back heavy with the chipper on but we just take it steady! Im thinking I might ballast up my wider 'forestry' set of tyres
-
I've been thinking the same although never done it. I was using a 550 last season but with 8tooth sprocket it was almost a bit to quick for hedging If i had mainly small stuff I was thinking about a battery saw as nice and quiet and doesnt have to be sat on tickover while laying Cheers
-
Cheers chaps i'll try and sneak some in again. Other plan is to tie the dumpy bag up and make a raft
-
Although I have refilled off a barrel we have an increasing number of cans (a dumpy full) Any thoughts on disposal as council roadside collection rejected them cheers

Ment to say we can pay

Loving the duals. Thats big bcs is a beast! Ours is a bcs invicturs 35hp. Great for us as nice and narrow for footpath works mowing and in the woods with winch on, I'd love a bigger alpine too as a bit more weight would be handy with the chipper on and for timber hauling. Pics of ours chipping and hauling timber along side Face North Forestry's ferrari. They do get stuck sometimes

I've used a dragone 1m and teagle/berti 1,2m. Both solid but the 1m dragone was nice and light for a smaller tractor

Yeah i made a load of mushrooms for a friend and they picked them up after going to pyo. Car smelled of strawberries, rasberries and wrc!!!
-
Nice. Did you do it green or airdry it first. Bet it smells great too!!
-
Great stuff, been looking at building my bro a shed out of larch, inspired now:thumbup1:
-
Cheers folks. I think they are pretty cool. Was going to plank it for a friend but might chuck slabs in the corner of the field and use middle for some rusic benches
-
Mornin' Was taking a lump of timber home last night and noticed a wood wasp doing its thing and laying eggs in it (3 times in half an hour-they've got stamina!!). Should i just abandon it it to the corner of the yard and leave it or just slab off sides. Cheers Kav

Thanks for all the info. Will definately get some wieght on, i held off on water in the tyres as i trying to balance keeping it lighter for mowing and towing about. I really rate the kilworth but only have used that and a botex. We have 3.5t winch on it to which is super handy on slopes. -

Nice set up and tidy job. Sorry don't want to derail original tread. Just out of interest what do you think you can lift with crane-We have a similar set up with BCS/kilworth trailer. Just did a nice job on similar size timber (sadly cut to random lengths-not by us ) and was great as we could fit between rows without cutting racks. Only thing Im think is if I should stick some wheel weights on tractor, we have a dry site but a chalky slope to pull some 12' larch out and struggling for grip a bit. Maybe powered trailer next Btw agree that hauling distance def slows things down, I've roaded a couple of loads home locally, but its a bit scary and roads round here are worse than forest tracks -
Nice find!! This was my job this week. Pulling timber out with little trailer/tractor. Ideal site for it short extraction and could run between rows of trees. Would have been quicker and easier if timber had been cut to lengths/stacked-instead it ranged from 2'to20' !! Ah well be better next time
-
Interesting thanks, I hadn't considered it. I think she just like the way it looked and the green stuff smells great! In that case has anyone got any air/kiln dried hardwoods or yew looking for one piece 2500x600 (or narrower and we can joint) and 5 at 1600x200 Cheers Kav

Afternoon all. I have a friend who is keen for us to make a desk/shelf out of some western red cedar. (after seeing a bench i made). Ideally they want it soon, so was wondering if anyone had any air dried? Ideally 40-50mm. I have some I could mill but need to get a kiln sorted. Cheers Kav

Is its so critical if its going in a kiln or is it the fact the saps up the issue cheers
