  1. put the blowtorch on it for a few seconds and smell (just my cranky idea, not an official test method)
  2. I have a chart which states at 13%moisture Maritime Pine 680 Yew 700 Aleppo Pine 810 don't ask me about the trees cos I know nothing, I can just about identify a Yew.
  3. Awesome Landmark, when I went there a young lad played his pipes in the cave.
  4. I recall reading somewhere in the RHI literature that drying woodchips is expressly excluded from the scheme
  5. Hi Al, Ive sent you a text, hope it comes out better than my video Rod
  6. Chipping my woodpile My first unsuccessful video upload!
  7. it was that light fingered git who should have been carefully locked up not your gear
  8. Awesome kit, they are somehwere near Blandford, Ben Nicholson is in Surrey, not quite such a big machine, but easily 200t per day in big material.
  9. Correction 800mm high by 1210 mm wide
  10. Al, there is a guy called Ben Nicholson who has a Heizo that I think takes 500 mm crane fed etc, have you many tonnes to do ?
  11. Copford Mill?
  12. I had a markII for a good while, ahead of their time but JCB soon filled the gap. Personally the sloping nose doesnt do it for me.
  13. you wouldnt be oveweight with a months worth of "chippings" in the box, till they weighed the seam engine:001_smile:
  14. I think from the front of the saw, hopefully someone will confirm
  15. John , how many tonnes per hour? please Rod
  16. Is that in Surrey, and how many trees ish
  17. Chris it was my tree that dropped a bough onto next door, and the footpath. My relief that it hadnt hit a fence (the usual port of call for everyone elses wood falling onto my side) was tinged with concern as to what would have happened of it had hit someone. The covering my backside issue is dealt with by the insurance man, he would probably use a different phraseology: if you know what I mean:blushing: I will go and look at the tree again tomorrow, but from where I stood this morning it looked like one of our better specimens If there is any chance its a liability, then its coming down and going on the pile for chipping. Curiously in the ELS/HLS (environmental) scheme that we are just about to enter, we are required to leave all standing and fallen deadwood where it is, which is great for woodpeckers but a worry for bullocks etc.
  18. Thanks for your replies guys, I thought that the wood at the fracture looked fairly good (laymans term for not pappy or soft) I will go and have a better look at the tree to see if there are any other signs of trouble. Might nick my wood back! Thank goodness it didnt land on someone
  19. Can anyone enlighten me about landowners liability for branches falling off trees. In particular I discovered today a branch from an oak on our side of the fence, has come down on the neighbours side, onto a public footpath. Also, there seems to be a lot of this sort of thing going on, any ideas as to why?
  20. I used to worry about my modesty, until I discovered I was perfect
  21. it would be really cool if there was some way of sorting out the leaves for the AD and keeping the chips for biomass boilers

  23. why three, cant you whip the one bag off, move the frame and fit a new bag?
  24. not sure if this would be classified as philosophical, but I overheard the combine driver talking with the insurance claim guy.. "... if it had been an inch the other way it would have been a brilliant bit of driving.."
