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 ?

Hybrid poplar plantation growth rates?
Stubby replied to Big J's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Can't say fairer than that ! -
Honest and to the point ! ( in the form of a " bump" ) .

You can't beat a twin rotor Chinook chopper . ?

Its not poison true , but is rather " acidic " . Some plants don't like it I think .. We used to tip our chip on a farm in west Dean which is basically on the chalk of the South Downs and the soil is alkaline so it did not matter . The Barley loves the chalk .

In the central reservation of the M27 there were lots of young , self seeded Ash whips of about 5 to 7 feet high . All looked in fine fettle . They have just been along with a flail and mullderd the lot . seems a shame to me .

If it is an early one you can get an " enhancement kit " . Stihl sold it I think as a stop gap until the newer version came out . Can't remember everything in the kit but I think there was a fly wheel and an ignition unit and some other bits . It made a difference though .

Ok Correcting you as you are wrong ....Husqvarna made the first Autotune saw . This was 1st genaration A/T and quite basic compared to the current version . ( Could be 3rd or 4th generation now ) When Husqvarna released the 2nd Gen they sold the 1st Gen to Stihl . ?
