  1. Clark Forest Bio all the way for me. I haven't used mineral oil for about 20 years!!!
  2. I've got the husky 540i, yes it was pricey but i got a good deal and got blower/combi/hedgecutter too. I havent used it hedging yet but well impressed, cut sawlogs for mill well over guide bar and it ripped. I think the the narrow kerf helped (chain is a bit more meaty than the stilh i used) I still think I'll use petrol saw on big stuff but 4" under i think it will be a winner. i especially like the fact you don't need to leave it ticking over or stop/starting when doing other things. Will save a fortune on (aspen) fuel too. Just need inverter in the van so i can charge on the way home
  3. I've used an arb trolley before, can slind slabs off log and keep in horizontal plane on trolley if that makes sense (or i can come down with my Avant and labour for a day ?)
  4. Yes I looked at the water bottle and barrels I use for water on the Lucas Mill and looked pretty green/unhealthy last supper. I chuck a milton tablet in now and then to give it a clean

    Reed cutting

  7. Its this it and has integrated earmuffs but it comes in at nearly a grand!! I know there is no price on health but its strong money. the axeminster rep said it is loads better than the normal powercap but id like to hear opinions of someone who used one
  8. I’ve purbuckled (i think thats the right term) some decent lumps up ifor ramps using truck winch or petrol capstan. The capstan is nice as uses rope
  9. Has anyone used one of these? i need something for milling. I have the normal powercap but find with earmuffs the motor vibrates and drives me nuts!! i know these are mega bucks but id rather invest in something decent WWW.JSPSAFETY.COM Categories Hard hats, Safety Helmets, Bumps Caps, Disposable Masks, Full Face Masks, Ear Defenders, Safety Glasses...

    Reed cutting

    We have been asked to cut some reeds. Some of the smaller stuff can be flailed and some needs brushcutting due to access but there is a fair wack they would like cut and raked up. Does anyone have any experience of using a cutterbar mower for this? it's pretty thick stuff but figured if we take things steady it might be worth a go?
  12. Very nice?
  13. Do they have western red cedar sawlog for sale too?
  14. would a circular saw be any better for cutting? this is pure speculation as i have not experience of tropical hard woods
  15. Yeah in sure there is a market for an auto 'work' pickup. I dont need leather dash board, chrome mirrors or matching carpet just a decent pull and bit of comfort
  16. yes seems to be the case
  17. Much as I love my 4motion transporter pulling the guts out of it towing my avant about. I do fancy an automatic now and was wondering if there are any single or extra cab autos out there or are they all double cabs?
  18. I’d like some to oxford too (plus western red and larch)
  19. Spot on thankyou
  20. I’ve been asked to cut a stack of cladding to match existing. Whats there is larch but i’ve only got douglas in the yard. Just wondering how much difference there would be once its weathered?
  21. Nice couple of days milling oak for local estate and more to go at
  22. I might be interested in a lorry load if someone fancies delivering to Oxford 07703192775
  23. I have Lucas and slabber and don't mind driving to Hampshire
  24. If I could raise the money in time that's just what I need, great truck
  25. Sorry for late reply. Yes plus vat. We can do loads of stakes but bit short on binders however I do have contact for more (hazel or willow). Could do a discount for big order or collection from site. Cheers
