Strangely enough, my own conclusion, savour the moment and move on, though a few well choosen family group photographs will probably be appreciated by future generations. "snapshots in time" like the one of my father and his brother binding corn some time in the late 1950's or early 60's. very very strange seeing them both in their absolute physical prime, complete with "Teddy Boy" hair cuts. Poinent I suppose.

Well per a glossy "Banksy" hagiology I perused in Waterstones years ago. Yes he was. And carefully protected his art and its material worth. A master showman manipulating the ever gullible public. Right on Comrade!

You are still screwed if the timber owner has already sold the timber, perhaps for upfront cash. Then your fight is with the guy hauling it away. -
Funny how that Banksy bloke, who was very fond of saying and spraying "All property is theft", has a fortune safely squirrled away and keeps the location of, his no doubt decrepit slum type, dwelling quite secret.

Hmm, So to "perm" this idea with another thread. Mount the "boring bar" spindle to the chainsaw bar. Then Bore a chainsaw bar dia hole down as far as poss. Then nick a few verticle saw cuts to allow the air in. Or just simpler to multiple cut from the top

Coleraine area in 2007-2008 £3,000,000.00/Acre Cos a bloke I know was dicked for about 40% of an assessed £50,000,000.00 valuation. In death duties as a result of an Uncles and then his fathers death within months of other. It is about 15 acres of marginal farmland surrounding the farmhouse his family has owned a few generations. Now surrounded by urban sprawl. But will never be sold for development, by the current owner at least. It merely being the land that was always there. GULP!

I like Ash trees (and i believe/understand Ash trees were venerated in Irish history ) I have planted ash, I will continue to plant Ash, transplanted seedlings, some grotesque in shape due to a harsh start in their life(per WRSNI's comments) Some will live, some will die(hopefully not all) Those that possess the necessary fluke of genetic inheritence to survive the Ash die-back, may well be the stunted malformed stock, which may well be part of the necessary genetic mix. But hopefully even these bent and twisted survivors will "throw" good clean Ash stock in the future. Evolution being all about surviving, then the inevitable genetic mutations can perhaps succeed in the "new paradim" Since that is how nature works. Marcus

:thumbup: New, akin to a Silky type saw in sharpness, as one of my knuckels too well knows:blushing: oops really REALLY want a 30" blade for a long lazy effortless cut, using every 1" of the available blade. Less wasted reversing effort for any given amount of cutting.

Running a winch on an under power'd tractor
difflock replied to Robbyrasta's topic in Large equipment
Should not be a problem at all. Depending on the line speed,(ie the gear ratio used) it may not be fit to pull the rated amount, but it will certainly work, 100% As long as it physically fits the tractor. OK Quite a large winch, but presumably within the 3 point capabilities of the tractor. Though probably able to winch in, far more than the tractor can carry and drag. -
:001_tt2:What fire we talking about?

Christ! ye must have large funny shaped feet Isabella.

not really, if in doubt, refer back to the OP.

came home at 12:00, fire near out in the Morso stove, a fist sized lump of conifer only left with a few embers glowing thereon. Fished a lump of bone dry Elm out from the back corner, behind the stove, about 6" in dia by about 300mm long, placed on the embers, cocked the door open, until the embers flared back into life. Closed the door up, came back 7.5 hrs later, room still warm, opened door and a fist sized lump of ember containing Elm still present. loaded up with split conifer chunks, left the door cracked open, and inside 2 mins a roaring fire once more. I wish we had more Elm.

Trailer Brakes while parked backwards down hill
difflock replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
I have seen somewhere comments about IW type over-run brakes not working in reverse, with the result that they have dragged the towing vehicle backwards down a steep hill, after forward/upward momentum has been lost. But surely if one smartly engages reverse and bangs the telescopic coupling up tight, it should bring the trailer brakes on (on the "over-run") and then hold parked on the hill. Though with less braking efficency than if moving forwards? is this correct? -
First wool/wool rich socks, leather or leather and Gortex type lining, Mycota power and rotate multiple pairs of boots. One could mid day, also wash ones feet with a flannel and warm water (from a flask), makes a remarkable difference, with fresh socks after of course. The Mycota powder is wonderful stuff, easily able to wear Army boots for a week at a time, while on Exercise, without, as I recall changing socks.

I wonder is he working on his own? (i)Else why bury the Ax in the tree so as to support the back of the saw. (ii)Also is that a bottle of lube of some sort, for man or perhaps saw. (iii)Easy seeing how obese we are all getting, when, myself included, we see him as thin. Bit like dogs, we tend to imagine they are only right fed when actually overweight. Working dogs excepted.

A hyd "beak" on the forks to allow you to selectively grip single logs? Ideally a grab/grapple on a 3-6 tonne excavator
-
Do no tracked excavator manufacturers supply "extend-a-hoe" dipper arms?. Per the comment I read in "Earthmovers" re Eddies new 8 tonne Kubota being tried with a longer dipper arm, I ud ave thought in combination with the 2-piece boom this would have been an ultra flexible/articulate set-up?

:001_tt2: Or girls! :lol: The "glow" ud fair be dripping off them mind!

werry werry complicated, and light built forby. Can the doubtless capital investment in the machinery, and its ongoing maint costs, be recouped over its working life, compared to a simpler more manual set up running an extra, perhaps casual labourer? Anyway that Beech is simply ideal feedstock, try instead some thran knotty crooked Lodgepole Pine

I am taking delivery of a Farmers M8 next Tue, while purchasing the 390 saw from my local dealer.(substantially cheaper than Logosols offer price btw) To get me started, I thought the 25 year anni offer was "not unreasonable". I was very very tempted to go for the M8 with the 661 Stihl, but felt it was unjustified. I may even use the Logosol to cut timbers to build a shed to house the Baker bandsaw mill. I had also been promising myself a 2nd saw this while, and can run the same bar and 325 chain on both the 026 and the 390(when not on the mill)

Lorry running away in bath today killing 4 people
difflock replied to mendiplogs's topic in The Lounge
After Glasgow's accident in the mouth of Christmas, this HAS to cause some soul-searching in respect of HGV operating in pedesterian crowded/urban areas.
