  1. Running a 260 here with a 14" picco micro bar. Take the rakers down enough and its a sweet coppicing saw.
  2. Does yours read anything other than between 30-60%? Mine doesn't, no matter if I stick it in kiln dried oak or a bowl of water
  3. Could someone please give an example of what timber in the UK is possibly worth £1000/hour to extract?
  4. Does anyone know where I can hire a PTO winch in the North Sussex area? Thanks
  5. If you're all set up as well as you make out in Essex, then the ONLY thing I would consider is, as stated, leaving the business running and using rent from your house and profit from the business to fund a move and business branch-out in Cornwall. If then it doesn't work out, you're only back to a fairly good square one.
  6. Hi all Just took down 1/4 acre of chestnut coppice to give a customer a view. Good timber already gone as posts. I then stacked the bendy timber in 10' lengths with the digger. Was just wondering how quickest to season it? No substitute for splitting each length, I know, but would scoring the bark with the saw have a similar effect? Alternatively, does anyone know anywhere I can hire a cone splitter for the digger? Thanks!
  7. Pleasantly surprised how well a bit of 2 year old poplar burnt on my open fire. Might take the digger and drop and stack a few dozen trees that we left last year cause we didn't think it would be any good.
