  1. i've always found oak tends to need more air to burn nice and hot, then you feel ur loosing the heat up the chimney. I do wonder if the heat loss is only physcological as the extra air on the oak produces more heat, but its not very often we get oak so usually its mixed in with some other and burns nicely then!!! Sycamore and ash i like, but as i've said it before, if it comes from some form of tree/plant/shrub and is seasoned i'll burn it!!!
  2. did wonder if the pruning might have been bit much, should i have done half tree one year and the other haf couple years later say??? also with that fungus is it wise to replant some tree's around them which i had planned to do?
  3. couple of hundred cows? curious to know why u ask?

  7. Hi We pollarded (farmer style!) these 5 ash tree's about 5 or 6 years ago now, three have shot away and put on good growth since, nowever the other two have died and have a fungus on the bottom? Was it the fact that they had not been done for probably 30 0r 40 years previous that it was too much stress or is it soley the fungus? Many Thanks for any help!
  8. like everybody says, its easy to use and simple plain english for those of us who are not ofay on every chain type and size! U'll be getting my order when i need some new chain!!!

  11. Hi Quite far from me, might travel ifu have a means of lifting it into 12ton grain trailer and is the customer expecting to be paid for it?
  12. when u cut it down and find out how well splated it is, my brother in law might be interested!
  13. shame ur not closer i'd be parked on site with me tractor and trailer ready for u to drop them straight in when u fell them!!!
  14. blimmey, brought one of these of the say so of 'u lot' and i thought i was the only one with this oil cap job!!! Had thought it was just my saw and me being a bit over zealous on tightening and forgetting not to be so over zealous....... would suggest a finger full of oil over the seal but guess that not really going to make any difference...........
  15. is to be there supposed to be a picture?
  16. i'm loving the beer can!!

  18. Let me know if u get too much i'll come and pick up the leftovers!
  19. just brought on ur advice solooking forward to getting them!!!
  20. found they are not very hard wearing, but guess i was trying to do full on farming in them!!!!
  21. tungsten blade is the way forward, was gonna avoid it because its not so easy to sharpen but got 'talked' into it but rep saying he'd chuck it in for free and i'm glad he did!!! Its done a fair amount of work and it still razor sharp including a few pallet nails and muddy logs!!
  22. i agree with you but i didn't know what else to do, fed up of the hassle it caused everytime!! But i think it only reduced it by about 40 or 50kg if i remember right.
  23. or perhaps 12months in a thai prison??? i'm sure that'd put u off prison very quickly!
  24. never ever seen one of them!!! its good to learn something everyday!!!
  25. browns wood worker, very good machine cuts well, slides nice, solid made. But having seen some of the machines advertised on here alot cheaper and bigger cut capacity i thought i'd done wrong, as it had a large diameter blade but comparitavely it seemed restricted in what diameter timber it would cut, but reading the above and what a few others have said it seems i have made right choice. Its made by a small family firm, solidly built, and BRITISH!
