Ecological woodland management
polish pete replied to Charlieh's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
wow, it starts to make sense now! for last 4 years i've been involved in conservation work in silverdale/arnside area. we were widening rides, opening up some areas for butterfly conservation trust as well as preparing hazel plots for future coppice. i knew it does something good to the ground but i wasn't sure how it works. really interesting thread! i'm intersted in reading more about conservation side of woodland management, can you recommend any books on the subject? -

hi, i've put new piston kit but... first it worked ok for a while but then it started revving up a lot, later it took ages to start it and i head to keep throttle on all the time to keep it going. i relaced a gasket- same thing, i looked into carburator, there was a bit of crap inside, so cleaned it. now- i can't start the saw without holding full throttle. i played with low and throttle screws but still the same. if i hold throttle when starting the saw sounds pretty good but once i stop revving it dies straight away. do you have any idea where to look? to me it has to be something with petrol rather than air but i don't know too much about it. cheers

hi everybody, i need some advice on what kind of further training would be good for me. i have my cs30,31,38,39, woodchipper course, planting course, am at the moment studying rfs arb cert. i work as self employed gardener and chainsaw operator (at the moment mainly conservation and forestry work). i get a tree climbing job from time to time. my plan for future is to work full time free lance, mainly climbing but i don't mind doing other tree related jobs. i'm keen on working and travelling, looks like there are few jobs in scandinavia for example. what would you recommend to do next? as potential employer, what would be the next qualification you want from person like me? i was thinking about hgv but is it so useful in arboriculture? tractor? is there a lot of free lance work for people with utility tickets? some of the adds about jobs in norway, sweden mention european tree worker, how useful will it be if i already get my rfs arb cert?

hi guys, thanks for all advices. i think i've got it sorted now, les like you say chains are more aggresive and it looks like it's more important with them to get the tension right. with original husky chain it wasn't making too much difference if it was tight and also the saw doesn't like these chains not being sharp (laziness when you spend whole day cutting hazel stools with lots of crap between them). again thank you for your help and next time i'll try to play with it a bit more before shouting for help.

hi guys, thanks for such a fast response! husky chain has 25 on it, which must mean that it's h25. oregon chain is 21lpx64 and guide bar is 325", 1,5, 058. chainsaw is almost new.

hi everybody, i've got husky 346xp and few days ago a bought oregon chains to replace original husqvarna chain. but it looks like the saw is struggling with new chain( not one but two). i thought maybe i bought a wrong chain but it looks like it is the right one- 21lpx. saw is getting hot on anything more than half a guidebar. i tried 3 different, brand new 21lpx oregons, new guide bar and it's the same, then i used old husky chain and it worked fine. any thoughts? can my saw be "alergic" to oregon?

what kind of course would i have to do to be qualified to check my gear and is it worth it?

thanks for your help guys

hi everybody, i'm looking for somebody who does loler inspections in kendal/south lakes. also i went to narc (rope access training centre) in kendal asking about inspection and they said they don't do one offs but they do loler inspection course, which takes 1 day and costs £90. can i inspect my own climbing gear, because it looks like saving a lot of money if i can? cheers

to add to the first post-i've got my insurance sorted now

hi, it's mainly for national trust through rebecca oaks, coppice worker from silverdale. it's for future hazel coppice and some of the plots for butterfly conservation trust. a bit of the mixture. i think there are few teams around arnside,silverdale area, james mitchel, another coppicing guy and there's some action near the big caravan park. i'm based in kendal
