similar to above, perhaps a tougher steel would be a subsioler leg, theres usually one for sale at any farm auction, or any Ag dealers yard would be worth a try. Subsoilers have a replaceable wearing part call the shin which comes already the right shape, as opposed to a one bevel shape like a baler knife

Youve got a better eyestrain tolerance than me then John, I couldnt even find the correct site, let alone trawl through it all again:biggrin: Not a bad idea artificially drying, depends on loading and unloading, thankfully I dont do logs (well only a few). -
Ben, how did you load it, Im thinking you cant travel with a log rack, and was it into bags, if so how many for the days work Thanks Rod

Is 904 a recognised grade of stainless?

put the blowtorch on it for a few seconds and smell (just my cranky idea, not an official test method)

Awesome Landmark, when I went there a young lad played his pipes in the cave. -

I recall reading somewhere in the RHI literature that drying woodchips is expressly excluded from the scheme

Copford Mill?

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.

you wouldnt be oveweight with a months worth of "chippings" in the box, till they weighed the seam engine:001_smile:

I think from the front of the saw, hopefully someone will confirm

John , how many tonnes per hour? please Rod

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.

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

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?

I used to worry about my modesty, until I discovered I was perfect
