As a pedantic git, I believe there is no such word..... Interesting thread by the way, I'm looking to plant up twelve acres on a silvo-pasture basis.
-
The trailer is only part loaded now, the rest of the load was a massive bunch of helium balloons with a lift of about a tonne.... Or... It was strictly on private terrain... -
J's log above: Pi x r squared gives 3.141 x .25 (.50 x .50) =0.785 which is the surface area. Volume is surface (0.785) x length (3m) =2.355m2

樹木傷口是否需要塗藥？ 「樹木的防禦機制」是有近代樹木醫學之父美譽的美國學者Alex Shigo博士在1985年提出CODIT腐朽區隔(Compartmentalization Of Decay In Trees)理論。說明樹木死亡的組織並沒有被修護，而是在腐朽 部位的周圍形成防禦層，防止感染擴散。其主要的防禦機制有兩點： Is an interesting way of putting it.

i think i've upset my local stihl dealer
Daniël Bos replied to DN22 Gardening's topic in General chat
Surely the warranty is something you purchase when you buy the tool. It's not an agreement with the vendor, but with the manufacturer. They then have agreements with their dealers to honour their end of the bargain and they get paid for doing so. Where or who from you bought the saw should make no difference at all. -
I could be wrong (it has happened before, 1982 it was..) but the way I understand it is whether or not the movement is for hire or reward, for example moving the wood you are to cut or the planks you have cut to or from a customer. Moving a tool to use in your trade is not that and thus exempt?
-
I think I'll be having a go at this one:001_cool: anyone else coming?
-
They may (just) last the two years, but cannot be relied on for any longer than that. Charring the ends (bundle a load up, points all together, and hold them in a fire or big blowtorch until they are starting to burn, the layer of carbon will slow the decay considerably) may buy another two years. What are you fencing and why for only two years?
-
How about re-plating your beloved Puch to 3501 Kg mam? It would put it in the Lgv bracket which for private use will make no financial difference to you but allows you to pull a 12m trailer.
-
Surely a high hitch would mean that when your braking in a corner, the trailer will push you over? Or if the trailer brakes are strong, pull you over...

Use Aspen, with an aspen "fillpartner" wear sunscreen.

Has anyone ever made their own full wrap handles? Since they seem so hard to get and are not too cheap I'd think making one yourself may be an option?
-
Well, this is what I got: It used to belong to a rabbit farmer who used it to take his 11lbs bunnies to the slaughter, 1200 at a time... He put three 1800 kg axles under and had an uprated landcruiser to tow it with. It's been downplated back to 3500kg now and tows really nice. On the flat I can easily push it with one hand, manouvre it easily too. It has a 5m bed, 2.2m wide. The 5m bed means I can put a 9m load on without breaking any rules. A load can comfortably stick out 1 meter over the front (just dont do any very tight reversing) and 3 over the back before needing anything more than a board on the end:thumbup1:

Not too relevant with this pathetic excuse for a winter but: never eat yellow snow.
-
Yes, the trunk does but not the smaller branches?
-
Not a sycamore is my first thought, but not enough pictures to go on.
-
How about a 6 tonne machine? I'd have to hire them in anyway and the price difference is not huge.
-
The heaviest would be say 90cm midway. Pi x 45 squared times 6m lenght =3.8m2 at a little less than a tonne per m2 so say 3750kg If I half that the halves weigh 1875kg so if I can get a digger that'll lift a tonne close up I should be ok, presuming I lift one end on then coax the other end on. What would one of those tracked loaders lift? Waiting for dry weather is not really an option, they need to be gone by end of march at the latest (I need them for construction at home) Best hope is a good frost... I need minimum destruction in the field as it's got winter wheat in.
-
There's a little spinney in the middle of a field of wheat in which there are a dozen or so oaks of between 40cm to 100cm dbh, to be cut to 6m lenghts. If needed I can rip the bigger ones in half as they'll be milled anyway. Access is through the field only so unless we get a decent frost period (it seems like we can't count on that?) I was thinking to use a three ton digger to drag them to the edge of the field 100 yards away then load them on the trailer.

Adders, Grass snakes in my garden
Daniël Bos replied to Jesse's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I've lost a cow to an adder bite. Poor thing must have stood on the adder with her head low down whilst grazing. Her head and neck swelled up so much she choked. I farmed an area with a very good reptile population and that was the only victim ever. I'd still never hurt one of them though. -
What would a three ton machine lift, say at half reach? I have some oak stems to load onto a trailer and was wondering just how much machine I'd need to hire?
-
I can help, will cost you about £375+delivery. You'll need a little patience if you want one though, I'd bring you one back from the Netherlands. I've done so before for other people (including off ArbTalk).
-
In the Netherlands we use shovels/spades shaped like this: With a slightly curved handle that makes you bend less, a T handle and a "blade" design that has a "spine" that makes it a lo stronger without having to be much heavier.
-
Same here, from ms170 to ms880 with a couple of huskies in between. Just pulled my 346 off the shelf where it had been since before christmas 2012 and it fired second pull.

Greetings followers, Now that I have converted so many of you to the Ripeur 2 gloves, it is time to reveal my evil masterplan. All the gloves have tiny little robots in them, they'll be inside your skin as soon as you've worn them for more than two minutes and I can activate them (and thereby you!) at will. You are now my private army of thornproof warriors and victory will be mine! Mwaaahhhahaahahahahaa... <-Maniacal laugh Oh, and some good news too. They now sell a size 11 for the larger hand. I've been struggling with the 10's I'll report back on wether these are a better fit or not (I've found their sizing to be a bit on the small side)
