what bench saw would you recommend?
Le Sanglier replied to Paul in France's topic in Large equipment
If you or anyone else wants to supply logs for next to no profit, or for "fun" who am I to say no? -

Little confused:confused1: You start the thread saying it's a good idea then illustrate that it isn't. €500 after all that work! -

Don't waste your time, You've got to buy the cord, cut it, season it (it's usually green) split it, advertise it, then deliver it. Then give half to the French govenment. This is all a bit of a leap from a bloke who didn't want to use a chainsaw isn't it? You cannot compete against farmers who have their own big gear plus their own woods and contacts and experience. Think of something else. (IMO of course!) -
One. I'll use the wire strop aswell for postion sometimes but that's it.

Not certain Ty is being serious Jon:001_smile:

Those Echos are very underrated.
-
Exactly. WD40 and an old file, plus tap in the torque drive with a light hammer before applying pressure.

TW blades are a doddle, an absolute doddle.

Was there not a temptation to ring down with say a 66 and chuck the pieces? Not criticising you're the man on the job, just asking!
-
Well let's be honest he's 65 now and hasn't even started the job he was trained for yet! (Not being serious:001_smile:)
-
Haha good point
-
Yeah, understood, but when I saw the trailer with all that fawning I said to myself "That's one to miss!" Glad it showcased your skill; I do like hedgelaying btw.
-
I would have watched it except for the sight of that tranny Julia Bradbury going all goo-goo eyes at that arch prat Charles!
-
Thanks for sharing, I have roast pork for dinner.

I don't agree with all this "we should be recognised as a profession stuff" What for? To gain the respect of people? We just fell and trim trees. I even hate the term "Arborist" All this soft music and profound stuff about nature just makes me laugh.

Genetic modification- your views please

Brilliant stuff!!!!!!:thumbup::thumbup: -
TBH that is what I'd do. I cannot say with any authority if you will poison any of the others. There are plenty of blokes on here who should be able to help. I am sure they'll be along in a minute. Maybe rename the thread "poisoning stumps"
-
Poplars can still shoot from runners from a long way from the original stump, Even if you grind the stump you won't get all of it. Cue a forest of suckers!

A year or so ago I bought a piece of gear off another tree bloke in suffolk. Anyway, in the comings and goings to the bank and whatever we got chatting and he revealed to me that he did not drink, at all. Now if a bloke is ill or a wife beater or something well fair enough, but I was amazed that he could not reward himself with some booze after a hard day. It is one of life's greatest pleasures. (Just don't post on AT when the worse for it!)
-
Above a house, probably, for the right money, above a fence, no. As someone else said put a line up another tree and swing it round.
-
What are the sights of the saw? Never heard that.
-
Oh the relief when you saw the gear! Good news story.
-
Well duh looking at the leaves! Slinks away sulkily......
-
Need to see the leaves really but in an effort to win an ID Fastigiate Hornbeam

I can say in all honesty, I think you are wrong.Had a biggish ash takedown this week pulling like a beaut through hard wood. I have had more than half a dozen stihl toppers through the years and the 201 is a worthy descendent.
