i think so, it was a honda petrol but now been professionally converted to diesel:thumbup:

not quite a ripsaw but very useful in the yard, ace for manouvering trailers/chipper and dragging logs.. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-i2TsO4C8Y]YouTube - Dumpy[/ame]

any chance they could be dead? that would stop the (insert clever sounding word that means leaf drop) if they suddenly died wouldn't it?

if you want one exactly like that then the general idea on here is cover yourself in a layer of dead excrement and you will be given one for free,

fallen out with oak now, been burning just oak for about a week and ok the fires still going in the morning but the heat output is pretty naff, i had to move the sofa up to the fire just to feel it.. it was cut down last january, split straight away and stacked in the dry woodstore, can't wait to finish it off and get back to beech and syccie:001_cool:

lucky you darren, my woman stays home all day and doesn't cook my food or clean my house or walk my dogs, she cracked a bunch of ribs lastweek falling on the ice:thumbdown: so i'll let her off this time, i even bought her some flowers to look at, hopefully she will answer the door for my fungal winnings:thumbup:

working in a garden today and the apple tree we pruned earlier in the year was in full leaf too, very odd

wonder if darren edits his felling vids like this?

dunno i wasn't going to touch it just incase, scraped it off with a bit of kindling and popped that into the fire basket..when in doubt - kill and burn:blushing:

or just a hairy slug? found on a piece of beech in one of the firewood stores in the yard.

i was expecting to see a bunch of angry eco-lesbians trying to slow down a chainsaw gang, thats brilliant:laugh:

logs for open fire or woodburner on eBay (end time 19-Dec-10 14:56:57 GMT)

 

That look any good? Not sure I'd buy them to sell on, but looks to be a decent amount there for 21 quid

ash and sycamore eh? more like 'yellow ash' (willow) to me:thumbup:

nearly 3ft baby yeah:thumbup: even though we mostly only use the bottom 1ft:blushing: had a go at splitting longer stuff because it stacks better:001_smile:

no offence intended, everything looks slower on playback, i just have no patience, i sit there screaming at trafficlights:biggrin:

are them saws blunt or were you just being cautious? sweet controlled fell on the stick:thumbup1:

you set the standard far too high..i quit! only joking i got a cool idea from watching that, nice vid.

just got all set up for a good days work lastweek, six guys working away dismantling 2x sensible sized ash trees when the one chipper onsite started misfiring under load:thumbdown:, it was quickly traced to ice cubes inside the fuel filters:blushing: they were melted out using the exhaust on deans mewp and back to work (phew) within 20mins:thumbup1:

mister moneybags, i'd have gone for the £10 bearings:thumbup:

the book that came with my iw lm105 says steam clean/jetwash after every use to retain its shiny clean galv, yeh right like thats going to happen, but a good steam cleaner should get the worst off and maybe a wax up will stop it getting so bad:thumbup:, mines black at the moment:thumbdown:

a couple of my snowy pics..

the only times i have to submit a scale map is for the felling licences from the forestry commission, and they usually send one out for me to mark up, good eh? for conservation area apps just a readable scribble map on the tpo form is ok, if they want any more get them to help you with it:thumbup:

watched that (at least the second half), as with most bbc programmes it was ruined by them telling me not to burn (overpriced) fossil fuels and me ignoring them, apart from that i enjoyed it, and the bit i caught the other week:thumbup1:

I ve run an Iveco double cab on an 03 plate for 5 years, The only problem with it is that its very heavy, I dont know what it weighs and I dont want to know but their heavy

They will carry the weight, I got given some paving slabs from a mate and he kept finding them in his garden and handing them to me, I asked how many more and he kept saying about 10 or so Id put 15 on and ask how many more about 7 or 8 it kept on until he d found all of them and because I was parked down the side of his house , on a slant I couldnt gauge the weight. I came back down the A3 with my head lights in the trees with no suspension travel in the springs thinking shoot if I get pulled over Im for the high jump,When I got back to the yard I weighed 1 and it went 68 lbs when I counted there was 120 of them

thats why you are called jammydodger then, you jammydodger:thumbup:

ah thats ok then, i had visions of him bashing nails into competitors booked in jobs then cutting the heads off, we just had a couple of ash trees chock full of nails/steel brackets:thumbdown:, now we're running low on files:thumbup:
