trees killed by Chemical, are they safe to work on?
sandy2210 replied to Leyburn Lad's topic in Climbers talk
dont think it would have been paraquat as it is now banned and it only affects any green leaf it touches and has no affect on roots most weeds unless very small will recover so dont think it would affect trees I stand to be corrected if wrong -

just like to thank you guys for all the info you put on here first I put up a thread asking what stihl to buy as our local husky dealer retired but after reading all your posts on that and various other threads I opted to stay with husky and bought a 346 from jonsey so thanks to him for sending it to the north of scotland tried it to-day on some oak felled 4 years ago -all logged up with 13in bar most impressed also thanks for all info re Swedish logs you can see a few ready to be ripped beside the logsplitter never heard of them before comeing on here now sold quit a few to the tourists-keeps the midgies away also pic of my homemade saw horse got the idea from arb talkers as well may not post much but I do like to look and learn -do you all realise how much influence you lot have thanks again

sorry guys just found this thread and our new defender not 3 years old yet and only done 6000 miles been in workshop for about 12 month -8 times and still no garuntee that the non starting has been fixed so after getting rid of a good 1988 series 3 I will not be able to join this club as much as I used to love my laandy
-
yea. I, and I'm sure every firewood dealer on here has a "tip site"like that one
-
just revised the budget and will have to pay nearer £600 fora decent saw
-
no fixed budget as I would rather pay a bit more for the right saw as but cheap and then regret not spending a bit more for right saw but was looking to pay around £400 do most of the maintainance myself (was a pro cutter in a previous life) but use the dealer for more technical stuff

HI I know this has probably been asked before but cant seem to find it I gonna be forced to replace my ageing husky 55 soon and now husky dealer local has retired but someone else now started to deal in stihl (next nearest husky dealer more than80 miles away) so was wondering what was the stihl equivalent I would consider myself as semipro not full time woodcutter but not wanting just a "garden saw either" never had anything to do with stihl as tended to use what was availible loca.l thanks

Rowan is known hereabouts as the witches tree as they used to hang the witches from them in days gone bye and still considered bad luck to cut one down I have worked with pro cutters who flatly refused to cut one down----so cut them at your own peril!!!!!!!!

got the 10 ton electric driven one and cant fault it only replaced one of the cables in 4 years a wee bit slow but think it only refused to split 2 bits in all that time also great service from M Large tree services mine was one of the first he imported
