It's not a lever, it's a button! Most likely marked with "Caps Lock" press it.

Hourly Rates For Woodland Work?
Daniël Bos replied to farmer_ben's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
How much would you charge for the hedgerow coppicing? Pm me if you'd rather not say it out in the open. -
I've got a set of husky ones, as they have a 3.5mm jack for connecting phone/mp3 player etc. I use an iPod nano, in a little pouch which is cable-tied inside the helmet so there are no wires dangling anywhere. You can also get a mike-cable so you can plug into your phone and helmet and use the phone hands free without having to take of the muffs, turn off the radio etc. I've used it as a cheap alternative to the stein ptt system when pulling over trees with a long line and no line of sight. The thing I don't like about the husky ones is when you play music, it turns over from radio to the line-in but switches back to the radio in between songs sometimes if there's a few seconds silence. I got mine from abbey "pro", look for the thread on here on them for some feedback....

My local mobile sawyer is £250 a day, with a Lucas type mill.

[ATTACH]91361[/ATTACHAll pallet wood bar the roof, it's a single 8'x4' of osb I got given. It holds about 3.5 m3. I do have access to some very big pallets though... Ps putting it just beside the door has made it a stuff-magnet. The postie leaves parcels in it etc.

How many people kiln wood in the round?

It'll have to be quite cheap, he'll need to fork out a few quid on the 'puter doctor to fix his sticky "e" first.

Same here, started when I found some dirty mags when I was 11 and has stayed with me ever since:001_smile:, not sure what it has to do with burning bits of wood though...:lol:

"Andy.Chief" ?

I totally agree, whether you're into leather hotpants, yellow porshes or old git's bikes, if it's what you like then go for it! Self-indulgence should be partly NHS-funded for some of us I reckon!

Thanks guys, though it seems "the average opinion" reckons they're probably a bit young, I'm swaying more towards "they'll probably be ok" now. Our Elisabeth took a chicken-leg to "show and tell" the other day, after I'd shown her how to remove it in such a way that the tendons stick out so that when you pull the one, it opens and the other it closes. Remote controlled claw. I got a similar reaction:lol:
-
I'm not old enough for this sort of "bald-but-with-a-ponytail" type of extravaganza, but I'd say it's waaaay cooler than a yellow porshe:001_tt2: That doesn't make it cool though....

Opinions and experiences from parents please, when do you reckon a child is/was old enough for his/her first axe (or hatchet or similar). My kids (twin girls, 5 in august) are fairly physical, and quite well trusted with kitchen-knifes and such, you can give them a bowl of tomatoes, a chopping board and a knife and they'll happily chop them in bits in a somewhat safe manner. Now it'll be their birthday in august, and my wife just said she'd like to get them a GB mini-hatchet each:001_smile:. Now, whilst I'm proud of my children for earning our trust and respect, and proud to have a wife that wants to get them such presents for their 5th, I'm not quite sure whether or not I think it's a good plan?

I reckon you're far out, but if this train of thought made you join the insanity driven congregation of arbtalkers then it's all good! If this was done to shape the trees in an arty way, why do a whole lot of them and then leave them to it? Same goes for the functional shaping theories I reckon. If you'd put in all the effort to get those trees growing the way the do, why then abandon them? Even if it was done with such a background and the company/person died/went bust/whatever somebody else would use them if they were any use for such things. Just my thoughts though...

Stihl 034 was my first own saw, it was a right beast to use, as I was only 13 and had only used much lesser saws until then. I grew very fond of that saw, until somebody borrowed it without asking...
-
Here's my collection, I keep them in this really handy clip-on system I found on ebay!

Ahh, you've failed to take in the fact that ELG resides on 'tother side of the pond, and the time difference is about 5 hours(?) so those dates would be correct for him:001_smile:

Enough about you for now, what are the nurses like? (cheeky smilie here, but on phone so none available)
-
They bought most of MG-Rover's parts stock when it went bust, so have a good reason to sell international, for some parts they hold the worlds' stock. For MGR parts they're not considered cheap for that reason, don't know what their other prices are like. They do have a good reputation amongst MGR owners for customer service etc. I'Ve bought stuff from them before and was a satisfied customer.

Try a game called "geared" if it suits you. It's quite addictive and really quite difficult after a bit. Hope you'll soon be sorted mate!

I walked a flock of sheep past this one last week, in Borger, Drenthe, NL. No better pictures, sorry.

Used to mow a lot of heather/ rushes/ purple moor grass in order to de-nutrify (that's a word surely?). We used a trailed forager, towing a modified German silage trailer (very light weight, high volume) We had a 100hp same (very low weight) on the forager, on 80cm wide tyres front and back and a little 65hp Renault ferrying the trailers to and fro. It was a lovely setup. Very light, easy to work and quite cheap to buy as well. We'd be on very sensitive peat soils, and any rutting was not acceptable, if the tractor made any ruts, it was time to turn as getting out was not an option, you'd be knee deep in peat. Not sure if I have any pics, it was a while ago and well before the digital camera era.

It's very common in the Netherlands, in public spaces (council owned green spaces, car parks etc, not just parks) as well as round private gardens etc. Another form currently popular in NL is where all the branches are trained and pruned to the same height to form a flat disk of green on a trunk, no idea what it's called though?

Typical British journalism. Britain is not paying for a single tree in China, but being guarantor for a loan (out of which it should make some actual money over time).

So, has anyone actually tried one?....
