Big old heavy bugger oak which had fell many years ago, and was well and truly sucked into the ground

scbk replied to peds's topic in General chat
A friend was telling me he was in a local garden machinery place and they had cable ties on the counter for sale, I think it was 50p. He was like 50p? Seems good? "yes per cable tie" -

Probably make more money with a pallet of screenwash or blue roll (workshop wipes) in the shop, everyone needs it! -
Yep same for "warning forest operations" signs, usually left in the woods until the uv degrades the plastic and it falls to bits
-
Marginally better than a chainsaw without it!

I've had the clip n trim for quite a few years, butchered numerous hedges (especially beech) back in to shape with it. I'm a right rogue so I even have the saw dangling off the end of an elephants trunk harness, what could go wrong eh!

Not got any henchman branded ladders but it seems there isn't much between them

How old are you? Looking at the website they also do a 10% discount every tuesday for over 55's, can you get us a saw? And some um bongo.

I've got rolls of rocwood cord, it's fine. Get 100m rolls in a few different sizes, then you know you've always got some on the shelf in the workshop for years to come

If you wanted you should be able to fit a valve with auto return, you might have to lose the 2 handed levers though -
I love cheese! A good local one is fat cow

I'm not on facebook, but as a window shopper I can see they've made a few posts on there since the new year. Could be something like a problem with their internal phone system, I've seen that happen at a business before

If you were local I would swap it in exchange for some work. Also, the local community service (as in convicted offenders) here, sometimes do work on sites in exchange for being able to take the wood away. They take it back to their yard, cut it, split it, season it, bag it, then deliver it for free to needy oaps. Everyone wins. Is there any local groups it could be donated to?
-
To be honest for the type of work you do a battery saw sounds ideal. If you're scratching about in the middle of a big rhododendron the last thing you want is a 2 stroke trying to gas you out!
-
Cos of course you don't know with the weather, could be heatwave next week and snow in may!

To be fair, I think I messed up. Bought diesel end of August as I was out, obviously got summer grade, and it's waxing up when it gets to 0 deg C. Mainly notice as I always fill up with filter funnels, so you can see it not pouring. Any good additives that will help, or get another small delivery now, and the storage tank will be mixed up roughly 1/3rd summer diesel & 2/3rd winter grade diesel?

Lumag is like a few other brands, made in China but with a German name

(not helpful but), I think nature would prefer it if you left it alone! Others will have better advice, but yes you could thin some of the trees out to produce firewood. Maybe make an area for camping/bushcraft if you're into that sort of thing. Ideally you would want a powered machine to carry wood out, don't know what you've got already? Could be anything from a small tractor, an old mower, quad bike, power barrow, old jeep etc. Then think about clearing paths/tracks through the woods. On the rest of your land (7/8acres?) have you got any space you could plant up with fast growing trees for firewood? (...or an orchard?) There's lots of good books on the subjects of trees and woodlands, sit by the fire in the dark winter nights and go through ideas

You can get a fire system with heat detectors and a remotely controlled water cannon, would be fun to rig that up to the intruder alarm

So it's a chipper, that runs on tracks? I think we should call it a tracked chipper
