I have found that the Husqvarna hedge cutters run/rev higher than the other makes .I used to cut Yew hedges for a French pharmaceutical company ( cancer drugs ) and the other 2 guys I cut with ( one had a Robin and the other a Stihl ) both said my cutter sounded like a saw from a ditance .

And if you have been running it on Aspen from new the combustion chambers will be clean as a whistle .

There are a few self seeded walnuts here . The crows take some of the fruit and some times they drop it randomly . Some are about 10 - 15 feet high now .

If you really want to run your car on Aspen just buy Aspen 4 . It has no 2T oil mixed with it . ?

And a personal lanyard attached to your knob . ?

Nice to know that your airway is open as you slip out of your saddle heading for the deck ?

Wanting to start in coppicing/forestry
Stubby replied to Keen 2 Learn's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
All woodland , private or otherwise will benefit from proper management . If you had your own woodland you would probably only cut every 10 - 15 years so you would need other sites to manage from late October through to March . -
Mmm. I like it . Its very like pheasant . kinda dry meat . I tend to cook all those game birds in the slow cooker now . Keeps them moist .

I don't know for sure until it chits through but its probably only stubble turnips which will be cover crop for partridge then grazing for sheep in the spring then re drilled with a spring crop .

You get a real sene of this round here at this time of year . Its coming up for the Goodwood revival meeting . You see a lot of vintage cars around . I recon if you put 2x Austin sevens next to each other , side by side , they would be no wider than a modern ( BMW ) Mini ...

Yep there are flits a plenty . More so on the lower slopes . And yep clay . . If you walk along " Preston Down " A grass grazing for sheep ) between Lavant and West Dean , bits of flint and chalk come to the surface through the grass . Also the Badgers excavate a lot of chalk .

A quick look at the plans and specs should tell you if it was supposed to have rebar . Wonder if corners were cut ?

Its Chalk here on the downs .

Wanting to start in coppicing/forestry
Stubby replied to Keen 2 Learn's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Hand cutters are mostly required now a days for the " snot gobbling " steep banks were a harvester can't get . Its back breaking arm wrenching hard work for little reward . Coppice by all means but keep your gardening round . -
Nobody seems to plough much now a days . The farm next to me ( now run by contractors , I don't know who owns it now ) harvested the oil seed rape last week and a couple of days later the scratchit drill went through the rape stubble and drilled another crop . I don't think they even sprayed off the regen . I did ask my mate who farms next to this one , as last year he ploughed a field then disked it , and made a proper seed bed and drilled it with malting barley . The contract farm just scratched it with malting barley . My mate said it depends on the final price per ton . He says you get a greater yeald per acre doing it the old way . If it reaches £120/ton you break even , above that its worth doing , the extra fuel and time covered by the extra money . Under 120/ton you are better off just scratching it . Just looking at the crop I could not tell any difference so I have to take his word on the yeald . What do you arable guys think ?
