But you won't have made a loss! ! :-$

150+ years old when I lost count on the rings. Grand old lad of the woods but dead for a couple of years and pulpy at base. Yielded 12m3 loose logs. I'm now on the dead larch next to it, same scenario. Pondering what to replant. Dave

Cheers guys. Pretty strong pine smell when drying. Never associated smell with Scots pine but then never bucked one up either! Cheers, Dave

Had this dead softwood to fell and log up for a while. No needles to help id. Anyone good on bark and log colour please? Location west of Scotland. I'm not confident on my id! Thanks, Dave

Shouldn't it be landrover in the garage and wood out? ! :-)

You need an eye for a chain when using them but I use the lidl £20 job once a week with great success. New discs available so no problem with getting spares. If you don't have an eye you can over heat the cutters whilst trying to take too much off. Depth adjustment's critical and there's no facility to reduced the rakers. Having said that works for me.

Anyone else going to next weeks Woodfuel Sector Update Meeting at Stirling Mart on Wednesday afternoon? Agenda revolving about accreditation for wood fuel suppliers to RHI recipients. Dave

Weatherweb.net handy for longer range forecasts.

They'll be paying double that from me!

Damp enough here to get folks lighting up. Phone started ringing.

I sell logs not sticks but it's the sticks I give away.

Checks on tractors ad trailers as well. Nice earner for testers.

I thought this document from the states was really interesting. It looks at how dry you can expect your wood to become in various parts of USA and world dependent on weather in area month by month. http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fplrn/fplrn268.pdf]http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fplrn/fplrn268.pdf Dave

Trailer looks completely out of balance.

Horse chestnut. Nowt wrong with it, burns a treat.

Double handled nutrition feed bucket from the ewes. Sits inside a wicker basket by fire for neatness.

It was mentioned in regards to one of these woodlands that's been split into lots and sold off. I was very collaborative locally but there's some folk that are really sore on machines and those folk are sorer on machines that aren't theirs!
-
Heard today that lottery funding through Leader program willing to accept applications from collaborative woodland owners to buy and share log processing equipment.
-
And I bet they got a grant for the processor as well to boost local employment and fuel. Annoys me. Dave
-
My understanding is that once you bring wood in from outside it becomes an industrial process and requires change of use planning application on the ground you use to process and store the wood. Logging your own wood is a forestry/agricultural use. Dave
-
Don't think so. The self certification route is for wood from your own land. Worth checking up on though.
-
Cheers guys. Passed on details. Much appreciated. Dave

Found myself helping the local museum with their grey fergie and tipping trailer. The seals in the ram are leaking so stripped it down in the workshop and removed the damaged seals. Can I find seals online? Not in the 5 minutes I could spare! Where can I point the museum to find them? Any ideas? Ta, Dave

540 or 1000?
