  1. give this a bang - Kretzschmaria duesta (Ustulina duesta) - Photo 169
  2. used this set up at nrigg. pasquali and selfloading trailer, not sure which breed it was. However, a good tool. manouverability excellent. boom was a bit shaky as it is a very light thing. nice size for thinnings indeed. as far as the slope is concerned im not sure - only used them on relatively level ground. I suppose it ould also depend on the gradient of the slope. love to afford one (and a pasqli).
  3. aye mate, just seen your thread. Cundey Debarker, diesel engine - an oul lester engine. Its the dogs b's. Spent a hell of a lot of time using one for fencing material. For your job it is also ideal. I'd say you would have no problem putting longer lenthgs thru it. Man, u's are bringing back the chain gang work doing that stuff by hand....holie. Cundy debarker - you'll never look back, when our finished with it giv me a shout. I ve been lookiing for one of reasonable price just to have, theyre a dream mchine and nice money spinner.

    Aye, my first was similar to the petzl navaho one a few years ago. Plenty of freedom stretch-wise but the leg straps really pinched my weee soft legs. I took it then that the rest of the harneys of similar design would be the same. You, i suppose like many in the UK, have reasonable access to an actual shop selling treework harneys. Over here, in the wild wild west theres not a single outlet (theres an opening for sure) so its hard to get the chance to try out other ones for size. I was kinda keen on the butterfly II but if I buy it online whats the chances of leaving it back, its a real f n gamble isn't it!!

    Aye, you're correct. However, funny enough, the actual harness was tradsvard as 'Edenarb' had mentioned, dough. As i've been looking around the various site's for the harness, I got used to looking at Cresto or Komet, boo hoo. Thats what put me on Komet. Anyway, the Cresto on treeworker with the sliding D is identical. She's the one. It's hard to try a different harness especially when there ain't retailer in these part's to try them on for size. Cheer's all again for the replie's regarding the harness. I'm just going to be a grouch and stick with the same harness. O aye, I looked at the Forum Rule's and couldn't really see anything in there about the standard of written English or grammer. However, I duly understand that most guy's and gal's havent the faintest on some shortcut's to word's etc, so..........I shall change my way's until I get bored! In actual fact, for the craic that is, quoting problem's with someones' post's and the way that they display colloquialism's it isn't far off contravening Rule's 4 & 5 !!!!!!

    Cheers fella, thats spot on, its not eactly a komet but cresto is practically the same design. Other sites do offer cresto but the harneys are dont have a single sliding d or have two d ends for a mallon. Guys guys guys, look this is not the HSE webcommunty, this is an informal blithering thing for this and that. I understand my written english may not be understandable from the off, however, for me, to write something fast as I dont want to spend so much of my life typing on arbtalk it is much faster for me to type it the way i say it. piece.

    Does anywan knoe where u'd get a komet sky seat? can't c dem anywhere.
  10. any SE climbers in the NW (Ireland) area looking a bit of occasional work (Good pay when out) need tickts obvisly no need insurance i got it
  11. buy the wood of yourself and you aint carry waste then. private u c. can do this if selfemploeyd or whatever.
  12. 1-Firewood. Buy bulk, fuel, machinery,process, store it, dry it, bundle, waste carriers, deliver, insurance - not Arboriculture. (Here in NW ireland very tight margins judging from recent prices of artic loads for soft wood - inherent lack of hardwood given the pilfering over the last so many centuries - daren't go down that path !!) 2-Firewood Removal of trees (Tree work/ Forest/woodland management)- Environmental Policy, Waste disposal statement, waste management, recycling. It will most definitely be Policy with most treework outfits big or small to state the end use of all waste, by-products or arrisings from working at trees. Of upmost importance to make use of all arisings. In most cases, if firewood is integrel for financial purposes to treework folk then prices for removals/pruning may be lowered to take oboard firewood value. commercial sawmills work on 'recovery rate' Arb/treework works similarly if its done with ethics. That is x amount of 'by-product', 'waste', 'arisings' is suitable for planking, turning, charcoal, whatever (added value products) and the remainder is firewood. 3-firewood Tree work - small scale (cottage industry for eg) A) a valued aspect to treework for taking a few days out of climbing in the week to devalve and still ataiin some income B) a valued aspect to treework when times may be slack or actual treework is required to be spread out to keep a balanced income C) treework small scale is a passion, for the love of it, so every little bit that involves working with green wood is just another great way to spend time, from using your family to help out, to the people you gather up as customers they eventually become indirect friends. I produce firewood not for the dough but to make use of the arisings from jobs. I have a few, a handful, of customers, who all know they et a relatively equal cut of whatever split wood is produced throughout the year. Yes it is an extra income, but by the time everything is ringed, split and delivered it aint that big os an extra income. besides when ringing and splitting goes on there is definitely no rush, push or shove let me tell ye. keep er lit.
  13. jees hes moved well on..............killinaskully man - funny as fk. shrek - is that the wee scouser that plys soccer for man utd?
  14. here. im only riting the way i say it so yousens mite understand me a bit better. lol. If it were the case that either my English or my grammer (be it written or spoken) should be more appropiate to the environment we are blithering in then, by golly i say good on you chaps for pointing out my poor conversational skill base. o aye almao.
  15. dats roughly 25 yoyos a cube. by jeses id buy the whole pank off him/her and do as above. Up the border here ye'd get 40 sterling bucks for a white bag. euor zone a wee bit different. ye'd need to look at the wood, is it wet or dry, actually fk it dont waste yer time instead spend tim looking for a big shade to store as much of his wood in as you can !!! wud 7 cube be like a wee leyland daf lorry full wey big sides i wonder, if so, i know a man whose selling it for 4 ton sterling and ive said thats a wee bit cheap, lol.
  16. u know, i was about to comment on the same thing but thought tht i shud have peak at everything else first. I agreee, natural succession (oh aye - google it if ur not sure!) get those sort of facts right in the first. You got that - then you got what a native woodland has 2 b. Get better advice out there from the private sector i wud say rather than handy job/nice job/good pension civil servants !!!!. Chose your own trees, spacing, future harvesting, design. I wud also throw in some non-native species fro the early years u know, not specifically but like lodgepole done in the early years. blah blah - endless good info out there - but my friend you gotta pay the reddies for the real siht. o aye - woodland trust (ahmm, conservationists/environmentalists) u know what sorta advice u'll get there. always bare i mind woods are multifunctional. money/return (financial is imperative and integral).
  17. throw a line up over top, running bl, winch her off the shed - drap her.
  18. I cant c how you woud be able to on that mini mill, theres no guide thingy to help cut the .... ...........naw howl on a minute ou might be rite.plank on top, cut the side wanes, flip her over and use the previous cuts - getiting the angle rite, to ssquare her off. weel in theory it seems capable, i dont c itmuch use for plnking though. ive got the small mill so no chice but to get the mini to get the cant becasue i cant cant!
  19. And finally, save all your pounds and pennies do a degree in Merchant Banking.
  20. Man te hell wey the bbc, pesimists. Metcheck is getting worse than ever.........im up in the NW Ireland and by **** do I need a good forecast. Ive found a combo works the best - Wind Map - Britain Observations general Met Éireann - The Irish Meteorological Service Online look for the link that gives the satelite pict's. helps create a balance from the xc site I dont know how the met eireann site will help the saxons but should help the scots. It also gives atlantic charts for two days which also is good as part of the combo. In all one in every 3/4 weeks is blarney, buts 75% accuracy isnt bad. Anyway, theres no such thing as bad weather...................just bad clothes. (Billy Connolly)
  21. aye, i thought so. ure dead right. have to buy it, i did try taking the guie frmae of the small milll an tyring it but poor results so im to busy to carry on writing as i have to go back out in the ark to earn a wee bit more to pay for this new wee thing. job done, many htanks and good selling !!!
  22. Aye, naw, aye, naw....................tis grand with a log that has no taper, howevre, having no machinery im dealng with small logs upto 9' and not to wide(18''). Here, im looking to cut the wanes off and leave the cant, a square in other words. top wane using the rail (plank) - no prob - no real levelling, using that side then to cut bottom wane. but see then when u swing th log over to take the other wanes off, thats where it gets difficult. im guessing its all about maths or something because there's no way of winging it witht he plank as it folows he taper. Or am i using a mill that is solelly for planking. Ive looked at the minimill at it seems, according to the attched literature, that once u've tken the top and bottom wanes, u then unhook outta the small mill and hook up the minimill t do the side (so to speak)?? Is this the bet option? i know use boyos are going to yes as theres something telling me ye want te sell me something...........
  23. Naw i can't find that in the instructions at all at all. But c'mere, wheres the toe end adjuster are you sure yer talking about the small log mill?
  24. Ive a wee log mill, alaskan one of course. hwoever, im in the process of value adding to what wud have been firewood, anyway, im tinkering around at the minute - not right now though, but im having a wee bit ofdifficulty cutting cants. no bohter with top and bottom wane obviously but getting an accurate cant is a bithc. mind you i reckon its has something to do with 1 - getting everything level iincluding the guide rail (plank), 2 - measurign the cant required at each end and 3 - the mill itself. now the mill, is it possible to get an accurate cant or is it soley for planks. please. meantime back at the ranch i'll batter away and bring it to the local timber yard and get them to plane it square.
