  1. Prunus padus could be your answer perhaps Antony watering cultivar.
  2. Open another web page find the post. Then click the earth icon with the chain link. Copy the web page address from the top of your browser into the box. Tip I always clear the box before pasting. To slow! You worked it out.
  3. I've been there once proper good old fashioned repair outfit if it's the one I'm thinking of. No fancy smooth surfaces and shiny image. A proper mans repair shed, I actually got 5 ltrs of husky 2 stroke off him, it was on stock. Only fancy cartons locally in weeny sizes round here. Sorry for derail. Does anyone use rapeseed oil for chainsaw milling? I feel the bigger bar would need more cling and thicker lube to make the journey round a larger bar?
  4. Ha, ah. It was blocked by a web filter I've been trying. Must be under violence due to thorns or social network site. First time its interfered with arbtalk. It has cut a load of ads out:001_smile: But not on here. Sorry chaps my bad.
  5. It was on here a while back. Sorry
  6. Aye only thing that spoils that picture is hi vis vest:thumbdown: The modern ways have to be in.
  7. Eh? I still cannot see a picture. Oh well seems sorted.
  8. Pictures?
  9. I used an eliet a few years back on hire, for 20 mins sent it back. They should be better now. But it was slow and each twig had to be forced in by hand, viberations not good. The problem is proper big kit does the throughput with less effort and much quicker. You certainly need to do the research or try different ones on hire.
  10. Ah much better on the big screen as well. The plumage is maran. Just the neck? maybe backbreeding or a different type. NOT sent from my iphone!
  11. Nah! Pure skill. Hit the flood held back and followed the crest of the wave. A chap in a Mercedes vito van had tried before us, because when we got round the corner he had boated 5 mtrs in to the field. I also did a muppet a couple of months back and belied out in a grass field. I arrived upon a spring!! Pics to follow. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. Tried to zoom in on your cockerel it looks like a dorking but I don't think it is. I have kept(my dad has them now) for about 20 years. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. Exactly! No not really I live in the rural area 10 miles away. I would seriously suffer depression if I lived in the concrete jungles. I like to make noise by the nature of the activities I do and breathe fresh air. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. Rotated for you. And David I thought I was back on the intresting biomechanics thread!!
  15. Yes 36 inch mill. I could bring just the mill and you try your saw out. Or I can bring it with mine already in. I need to develop my side mill a bit more. Time!! The working mans elusive enemy. Whilst millions of hours are wasted in onesies watching TV all day long. Its not fair. But I'd rather be a time chaser.
  16. A few posts back I was messing with someone elses Stihl 024. It is now fixed apparently it was a carb kit that was needed. Confirmation of outcome for Wiseco and Spud and others that helped me with ideas and tips
  17. Not sustainable when fueled by greed ,corporate giants playing the green card. It's all down to profit or they would be out. However if waste stream was done properly it could work. Lots get burn on site clearance also if less was chipped, just the30mm down grade, useful fuel wood above that size. We use it for z quick heat increase on very cold days.

  18. I do have a forest master, though not this model. It is a brilliant bit of kit. I did a review a while back in the review section. It would of been better to show the video not in freestyle! Scratch it off and start again me thinks! Or just for entertainment for exclusive AT members I could use mine suspended by my hooves of a tractor front loader attached with a bungee cord. ..... Boing , bbrrrhhh slice, boing spin brrh slice the other side. Back flip bore cut. Job done. Maybe with a 36 inch for a little americanisation. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. I would recommend it, its a different pace of living. How it should be. Also day trips out to Fingals cave, puffin colony and maybe even whales. Only mowers to be seen are highland cattle and sheep.
  20. A chap near me in his 70s is doing this all the time for his enjoyment! I supply him with Ash for spokes and elm when I get it for hubs, he gets the oak for the outer circle wherever he can get from. He has Fred Dibnah style self made equipment for making spokes and the parts. Impressive, its a bygone era.
  21. Google it in google NZ ( change your searchpage) They use it for lots over there, propably inspiration for you as well.
  22. I was going to put my comment up when I had read the whole thread. But basicly the same as above. It the Foot and mouth winter, whenever that was I drove a citreon berlingo every day on pipeline work from Saltend nr Hull as far as Newton Bewley nr Hartlepool, for about 8 weeks. In all weathers except laid snow. Down farm tracks and across fields. We never had to call for help. We worked as a leap frog pair and never saw each other all day. My worse scenario was to jump out whilst it was in 1st gear and give the door jamb a shove for about 3 metres. However it is down to the driver and techniques used. Another coleague in the dry heat of summer aimed the same van through the only lush verdant grass in a slight hollow at 3.30pm on a Friday afternoon:mad1: and a 4x4 was required after it returned from another job. In 2007 the floods I also went through a fast flowing flood above my headlamps in my trusty ford escort van and never ailed a thing. My Dad and I were determined to sleep in our own beds that night. So my opinion is many 4x4s are never really needed. Perhaps swop your work around to suit the conditions. Having said that. Im getting to the point of needing a 4x4 more for the towing capacity.
  23. I do the odd day on a tree nursery that grows a large number of container trees, not quite Deepdale, Barchams league only up to 20cm girth size. Airpots have been used for several years alongside the polyproplene woven bag type and rigid pots. Our collective opinion is there isn't really any difference in growth rate or quality in the same time period. All roots will fill the container if in long enough. Airpots may well produce a better distribution of roots We too take the airpots off and wrap in hessian for transit generally because airpots are fragile and collapse. The twist fasteners snap if they get brushed past. The disc in the bottom tends to fracture and the whole lot drops to the bottom. The walls will kink if lent on a side. They are best potted and left in situ until required. The bigger nurseries get round this by potting the trees on the floor with woven membrane or other materials for the base. a solid concrete floor is best for this. This isn't scientific I appreaciate. They are a popular pot and some nerdy architects will rave and demand them maybe, but they have little real world hands on experience. So I reckon don't believe ALL the hype. If they are cheap and suit your needs/circumstances go ahead them. What are you thinking of growing? Size and species?
  24. We will have to sort a demo out. Time is not on my side at the moment. Maybe in a month or even two:blushing: I got mine to play with in my non existent time:001_rolleyes: Mainly done favours with it. Definitely use a winch on long lengths. I find it ruins my back muscles if I don't. Keep something aside. Or I may have something before long. No promises though! With all the tourist trade and skirlington market we should find an outlet you would think.
  25. Why Jim? You after one? I have an alaskan. Not for sale though. Have you looked at Rob D from chainsaw bars videos. It is slow work relatively, A chap at seaton runs a bandsaw mill I think, at the ex dodgy skip companys yard. Have a look in the milling section of the forum.
