i will say husky as i am a husky fan but not for there mowers. what about a snaper re it is a tried and tested disigen, ours must be 30 years old but it is used and abused it has neaver given any problems just the the engine showing it age. they are one of the better things at picking up, and they are the easyiest ride on to work on as you can stand then up on there end edit jd are good though but the snaper is just so simple

our local dealer says that aspen is good but dose not stocket due to the cost. i would love to try it

Parrents made us ware tights when we went out hunting as kids i can say they are warmer, when you have them under jopers. i am glad they did other wise we would have been cold and not as fun

it is good fun but i do not take any dogs out even though my terrier will pick up and beat as i am often stuck at the back of a drive keeping the pheasents one wood for half the moning so every one else can have fun in but also have to be responbale as it is our shoot but then i hardly shoot maby the family day and beters day and the odd bit here and ther but i pefer it in the beatters lines. it good craic. lorry you shoot try beating one day you get to walk through woods and have good crack.

this is very true it is all about keeping people happy and our keeper is very good at tailering the birds to the guns but this year we had bad luck they did not shoot well. but then the birds have been flying better every year so it could be a combitation of both. he has been with us for 12 years now and that is the first time the bag was this low. edit but if it was not for the betters we could not run the shoot. You see one at least every day all year in the yard.

and how good your guns are we have had over 50% but this year 35% it was down to the guns this year.

i will pop in on the way up.

Are you going to have the a shop there as well as the it would be handy as i need some boots

Are you thinking of Phytophthora lateralis it has been confirmed in scotland, in Lawson cypress Forestry Commission - Pests and Diseases - Phytophthora lateralis i hope this helps

i have a funny fealing they were baned in the usa due to people trying to split then selves lol the hydrocut is safer

i have seen it in short rotation willow before and then in the same patch again afther it was copiced.

i would like to try it but wont Bother as there are no dealers in NI

holly molly i can not bleave those figgers, of steve croff that is a compleste discrase, with a mill down the road they must be pipe some of this excess heat for the kilens but then i sopose that Eon is just to big a there and they must be a pain to deal with I just realised there are quite a few chp plants in aberbeen, even the uni have one it about 100m from my room

what do they do with the excess hot water at stevens croff, is it ysed down the road a the what ever mill it is.

put it on your compost heep

i am so sorry to her it. i would hate to lose any early. dog can even miss humans when i whent to austraila one would sit at the front of the house most of day for over 5 week waiting for me to come up the drive. i know how you feel had to put down my pony last year.

me please to

and the goverment subdising biomass plants, i just hope it dose not kill the mill here as they need wood too

i am planning on getting a narrow kerf to handy to know about the felling bar

:thumbup: come be brave and tell her you not going to light it, but to put a nother lare on!! ours have hardly been lit since the end of feburary and we only lit them to take the chill of the house and to stop burst pipes, when it was -20. i do have 2, 24 hour hot water bottles that are easy to use and they are green, Running on biomass, and they work yes you may have gessed they are my dogs, i use to sneek my first one up stairs to my bed when every one else was alseep when see was a puppy i was 10, and now they both hardly eaver miss a night now, when i am at home and not at uni.

i was speeking to a one of the fc foresters from Aberdeenshire in march and they said they could sell most of wood for biomass but they were having to set some to the side to sell it to the mill cheeper as they would not have been able to cover there costs. this extra demand is good as it is making it more viable to thinn and start to manage them again for the small producer. Most do not realise the shear cost of forestry Oprations and cost per tree letlone it being a one off. i would tell them that timber is about £30 a tone on the road side and the cost to do that in cost about £14 a tone harvestest and extract on a easy site using a harvester costing £200000+ and a forwder costing about the same, and to make it pay you have to be harvesting about 70 trees an hour. so they will only make about £15 tone, now thats why we have to charge to take down there trees, and they are mostly such pore qulatiy timber they only good for biomass or pulp or to little volume so they are worth worthless any way so you still have all your costs, ps i hope my figures are not to far out
