Hi all looking for a new pair of boots and had my eye on a pair of meindl wood walkers for a while now, i have read both good and bad reports about them more good than bad but one or two reports have been bad, like boots apart after a few months , i do have a pair of meindl dovre walking/shooting boots and cant really fault them except that they are not the warmest boots i have had, has anyone had bad expieriance with these boots.

if only you where a bit nearer,,,,

its not just me then ,saw pants boots t shirt hi viz vest cap and helmet on , by 2pm today and several other days had a banging headache even thou i had drank several litters of water saw pants piss wet through inside and felt like they where glued to my legs making moving about and climbing over fallen trees harder than ever , how ever stuck it out till 4.30 then worked out i had drank 4 and bit ltrs of water but not ad a piss since 7.30am, could it be called water rettension ?

hi if you are to be using this on a public highway going to and from home to woodland with trailer, it would need to be road registered, and when you do register it (if not done all ready) make sure it is registered as agriculteral this will make the quad MOT exempt and put it in a free of charge taxation class but you would still need to go through the process to taxing it but there would be no charge, you would all so need to insure it as with all veichiecls used on public highways it must be insured ,the above seems a lot of arsing about to me and the best advise i could give you is buy quad and then either find a trailer that quad will fit in or make one to suit ,put quad in trailer tow to site unload quad put trailer on to quad put tools in trailer and of you go , 250 - 450 is as big as you want to go or you will need a petrol tanker to come to site if you go 500+ been using a old yamaha 350 for about the last ten years or so and taking saws tools fencing gear etc in a trailer or in a box fitted to rear load rack, and go and do a ATV course you will learn so much about how to use one and get out of trouble befor you get in it.

photos and dimensions would be a help ,

well by how much then ? or is this just by your judgment ? oak is .94 beech is .97 so what is hornbeam then ?

hi ash is 1.28 cube per tonne and hornbeam is not listed i would say simular to beech at .97 cube per tonne .

moved a lot of timber over the years with this out fit , when we had that fantastic summer in 2012 when it never stopped pissing down from mid june onwards i moved 75 tonne back to the building in the week.

hi is that a high tip one ? makes life a lot more easier if it is,

hi hired a muck truck several years ago to do a simualer job to what you describe, but ground conditions where quite wet at the time found it hard work and very slow progress with muck truck ,so took the muck truck back to its owner and then hired a one tonne high tip dumper in for a day to compare progress and it was a no brainer one tonne dumper far faster and we could tip straight on to pick up and trailer, all so got the quad and trailer with floatation tyres and does work well but i have to hand ball it off on to pick up, one tonne dumper far better machine for what your doing hire cost about a tenner a day more than a muck truck but about 3 times more production,

grated beetroot and cheese with either salad cream or mayo on brown barms, and the stronger the cheese the better, i find a decent lancashire or wensleydale makes for a more flavoursome filling.

no not a member of any organisation these days, the trout where all caught while targeting pike , several lads i fished with had all had ferrox but not me and one day one lad fetched his brother in law who had never fished for years and ten mins on the water had a 9.06 ferrox as to say i was not to happy, but has the saying best things come to them who wait, 2 hrs later i took the 16.14 and the following morning had pike of 15.12 19.06 20.03 & 24.14 then 20 hrs after the 16.14 ferrox i had the 11.15 ferrox so i was on a bit of a high i told lee the lad with the 9.06 ferrox something like i dont want to fuck about with them little ens, i think the other 7 lads had about 5 pike and the ferrox between them,

some out the lake district and the pike and the 11 lb brownie are off big J s patch.

dont know why they are not in the order i loaded them in ???,

hi all putting these on for J as i was to put these on a while ago but the pc i had was running on coal,but have now got a new one that works and i dont have to wait a fortnight for photo to load 1st fish 6.12 2nd fish 11.15 3rd fish 16.14 and 4th fish 25,01

proberbly not, all beech and sycamore round here all brown and dropping leaves there just shutting down one large syc was sheddind its leaves about 3 wk ago it now nearly bare,

yes all ok at the moment, but we have the best ground conditions at the moment for about 5 years , would it of done the same job 3 months ago , i think to keep going for as long as you can in forestry it has to be 4wd and the differance between 2wd and 4wd is what a old farmer told me years ogo and thats ,its the differance between going and not going, my kubota has not been in 4wd for about 2 month now as what was about 15" of slob is now dust but we kept extracting through feb ,mar and april .

nowt because next door is a SSSI site and the loch at the bottom is a roost fo icelandic greylags that are in decline the site has loads of issues ,

yanmar tracked tractor i cant load video as its greater than 7mb, sorry about that if i new how to shorten it i would.

i think thats the later one, only about 15 machines in the uk as i know of the importer was some where about hexham ? or up that way some where they said it didnt last long when i spoke to them,

no they are built in the states , perkings engine about 40hp if i remember right , very flimbsy tracks and week track motors , i do know of 2 for sale one in yorks and one in the lakes both with very little hrs on them the one in yorks has about 400 hrs on it and i think most of that was sat powering a log splitter, some videos on youtube put in bothe forcat 2000 and oxtrack as oxtrack was what they where called befor name change

1000 acres is a big area with a lot of trees approx 1.2 million trees so thats roughly 63p per tree it would cost more than that to plant it today, take the timber off make your self a few million buy an island in the sun, and you still have the land as an investment sell the land £1000 per acre and your on a winner, you have either read the figuar wrong or there is a very big catch with it or some one is taking the piss.

that forcat is it in wetherby yorks ? if so i was watching it working earlier this year, handy little tool but limited to what you can do with them, i looked in to buying one in feb 2015 but decided to hire that yanmar as it was a far better option for us, the forcats where all purchessed with grants and when i was looking for one i was looking at 5 6 year old machines with from 125-250 hrs on them so that indicated to me that 1) they where not that good 2) there was not the work for them and to have 10-12k in something that was not being used seemed a bit of a non starter when i can hire that yanmar for £50 a day based on a 5 day wk hire then take it back when finished with .

the block of larch we felled and extracted with the yanmar, i think 4 or 5 times in an out with a conventional 4wd would of been it ,we where on the edge of some very wet peat moorland and i am pretty sure we would of been digging/winching a wheeled tractor out by dinner time, when you walked in the the track lines you just sank up to your ankels in shite, and as for steep hills it just went up em we only had it going up n down a banking about 20-25 mtr run up but around 45 degree incline ,only problem was the rubber tracks popping off on the edge of stumps but once you had sorted a run in and out it was fine i was skidding 4 lach poles out about 60-90 ft at once and it coped very well ,i have a video of the last stalk coming out that i will try and put on tonight.
