    Hi All, any recommendations for a green waste location for approx 200m3 of chip? Has to be licenced and the chip isn't graded so no good for biomass. Thanks!

    Here's something, if it's self employment just look what's near you as you'll have the network of people for everything else near by. If it's employment you want, wait until you have a job. Then you'll know where the work is...... It's a small world!

    Plant a mix of Alder/oak. Alder for first 5 years then add your bigger oaks. Use the alder as a nurse/fire wood crop.

    Ranskill hire has a new stone burier, leveller, seeder gizmo which goes on a 3pl. It could save hours topsoiling. Great for shifting but the 210 I was in last week was not the machine for levelling and finishing.

    The ones I've used have been 4-5 standard grease cartridges each going to specific points with its own ram dispensing different amounts to where it's needed. Worked well.

    At manufacturer stated hours. Pump till you see movement then stop! Auto grease is a worthwhile investment!

    Morning break, banana & cuppa. Lunch a sandwich, apples. If I'm hungry another banana. Another cuppa. Water throughout the day. It's as simple as you want. need energy = eat. Thirsty = drink. That doesn't mean stop when ever you want but in the woods have some nibbles/fluids with you at all times. Especially if it's hot/cold/wet you need it.

    Winching

    Blade in the direction of pull. Get a bucket on the opposite side. Dig both in. Maybe tracks off the ground. Strop around the blade. If you can, get the blade or bucket against a stump.... See what happens. Let us know.

    We've just got 6 from our local BHWT collection. 4 are laying now. They're doing a great job with the slugs! In 2 days they had their instincts sorted and were going away at night.

    Not that day, the Spean's a cracking river. That was at 5 pipes. There's six!

    Think this is about 50cumecs [ame] [/ame]
  22. AlexB
    The river looks pretty tame immediately below the dam. Where is it? Looks kinda Swedish.

    Happens in the public sector too.... I was beaten on a Rhodi clearance job. The winning quote was around £350ha cut, stacked, roots pulled out. Let em at it!

    I can't remember the exact figure, think the Olympic slalom course with 3/4 pumps is 15/20 cumecs. Zambezi was 250 when I paddled that. Ganges was around 100. An easy visualisation is to imagine it in IBC crates. I'd love to see the size of the pump that sends 80 cumecs. Send the pipe over to the dart in Devon!
