Stormy Autumn day. Now sat listening to thurnder and lightning outside:001_smile:
-
Might head over for a look depending on time/weather
-
Yesterday morning. Red sky in the morning-we get soaked:001_smile: (can we have a winter photo comp too please)
-
Just access. Thanks for the quick replies:001_smile:
-
Morning all. I have been asked to do some high pruning to make room for timber lorries. How high are they likely to be? Cheers
-
Thanks i will give them a look. Its not that often i need to move chip but when we do its loads. We have been looking at all manner of different vehicle/trailer combo. Thinking second landrover/tipper or maybe 3.5t flatbed for tractor with trailer carrying timber trailer behind so it can be moved in a oner. Probally near the wieght limit though and asking for vosa stop
-
we have thought of all manner of plans and always come back to 'need a tipper' Looks like a good case for a loadhandler. Do they go that big? that would take some winding
-
Yes great for moving the tractor but not so great for moving chip. The ply sides add a certain style too:001_smile:
-
Not over loaded but still not what I wanted to shovel at 7 this morning. Looks nice though

Not strictly tree related but countryside related

Nice. Maybe try a hilift jack and a chain(or notch the post) and you might get it out in a oner -
Really glad we went. Had a great weekend (maybe a couple too many beers) and great to see some many people taking an interest in wood stuff. Amazing site too
-
Yes it is midland. I really like the south england binding too. looks really good and works well with bigger binders i find
-
Really nice work there chaps. Roll on the winter:001_smile: Here is a couple we did last season. The last pic was one of the first I laid years ago and got to relay this year. What style? Wheatley free

Been there Matt. Go backwards and you go down the bank. Go forwards and you go down the bank!! Managed to double roll our flail and it ended upside down. We brush cut that bit now:001_smile: -
Cheers chaps We are heading up. See you there
-
Sorry the above post reads a bit negative, I am keen to go, looks a good weekend away if nothing else, but I might have to shell out on transporting kit (or risk taking landrover/trailer and dodging vosa:)
-
Anyone going or know much about this years show. I have been asked to come up with my alpine and trailer to show it. I am beginning to question it as the logistics of moving the kit are turning in to a bit of a mare. Is it worth the 2 hour drive? Much chance of getting any contacts from it? Cheers for any help Kav

Couple more
-
Job last week. Lime split nearly to ground. In a school, bit of a shame to have to take it down but looking at the wind today at might have come down anyway. Thanks to Arbor Tree Specialists for the stuff in the tree and Face North Forestry for the tractor etc
-
We were using the load strap on the barrow-anyway there was room for some more
-
Mainly oak and birch.
-
Sounds lovely! Yes that was the best site. The others had lots of stumps to catch and fire the brushcutter into the nearest tree:001_rolleyes:
-
Yeah we've done a good few hectares. Braken is now higher than my head and pulling tubes over! Tried to run the alpine through the rows first but just snagged and pulled them over. We've had heatwave, rain, horseflies, wasps and today flying ants!! good times:001_smile:
-
Birch does regrow in my experience. I second the eco plug idea
