No it doesn't seem to be forming into a bracket but it looks like the beginnings and the host species is an indicator, albeit it's to rare for me to have any confidence.
-
Not properly formed for some reason but my guess is Perenniporia fraxinea and the bootlaces are one of the honey fungus

£270 inc vat but lite version free

Some of us have the c1 plus e which entitles driving with a combination weight of 8.25 tonnes. IMO this means the combination is restricted to 40,50,60 at all times.
-
Are you saying that going out in the morning unladed it would be 50,60,60 and coming home full to the gunwales with chip it would now be 40,50,60 as the GTW is 8.25 tonnes? Doesn't make sense in that any lorry plated at over 7.5 would be 40,50,60 at all times.

I was told use softwood stickers for hardwoods but cannot remember the reason given. One reason for not leaving oak in the round in the south is because borers can migrate from sapwood into the heartwood. Traditionally oak was selectively felled in late winter to early spring (if tan bark harvested), left in the round over summer until horses available after the corn harvest and extracted in late autumn depending on ground conditions. One of the forestry books suggested delay extraction till Novmeber so the hooves would bury acorns.

So an unladen 7.5 tonne towing a 750kg chipper is 40,50,60?

I'm not at all sure without seeing the underside but looks like honey fungus

Well found, thanks. I'm not pulling anything apart yet, just fired it up on a petrol soaked filter so it's pointing to a fuel problem. Cannot get the flywheel cover to sit properly with the casing screw through the trigger unit bolt hole.
-
Eddy I'm coming to the conclusion this saw was originally contact breaker ignition and the later trigger unit has been fitted and doesn't have a real home.
-
Thanks, in the meanwhile I've bent a new hook onto the old one just so I can see if the thing runs. It has been stripped, cleaned and put back together by my mate because it ran rough, since it has not started at all. On reassembly I find an ignition trigger unit floating about, does it get attached via the screw that holds the starter cover on or the ignition module?
-
An old mate brought this round for me to fix, bought new in 88. First problem is the recoil spring has broke mid coil. My local dealer is looking for one but it is not available in the current parts list. Part number is 116 195 1600 but there is a similar spring for a later version of this saw with a different part number. What chance this or another Stihl recoil spring will do the job?
-
Now combine that idea with a warm cupboard and a dehumifier and they's be dry by morning. I'd go with the wash and spin dry first though.

Right of Way Question
openspaceman replied to Swiss CHris's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Maybe but has he a right of way for a vehicle? Post 87 we had the case where a wood was blown and it was last harvested in WW1 (ring count and hawser marks on standing trees) there was some debate with adjacent land owner whose land the track ran over whether vehicles had previously extracted produce as opposed to horses. On a similar vein the FC owned a farm with house and buildings, they had planted up all the fields and sold the farmhouse and buildings with about 10 acres. They retained a right of access over a couple of hundred metres of drive. We bought the thinnings but the new owner prevented access for lorries because he had built a concrete road which he said would only take a 10 tonne vehicle, FC backed down and we had to cross the road with agri based forwarder and slog uphill through the woods. -
I'm not familiar with the 410 but it used to be the case that only the 2 bigger Stihls would run a mulching blade and I wouldn't want not to be able to put one on.
-
You fit a rubber tube (or one way bleeding device) to the nipple and dip the end into a jar with fluid in, slack off the nipple at the slave cylinder and pump a few times keeping and eye on level. then tighten the nipple. In point of fact because the run from the slave to the master is always up on LRs air bubbles tend to rise by themselves (this is not true of brakes) so if fluid has leaked out of the system (slave seal gone) topping up and leaving over night is often enough.

anyone got any asulux or brack-n for sale
openspaceman replied to woodland dweller's topic in General chat
The scheme I quoted is for next year, the 2013 season has finished. The point is one should not hold, mix or use more pesticide than required so disposal should not become a problem. It's just the same with empty containers, they get very expensive to dispose but if they have been triple rinsed in the field they can be put in ordinary commercial waste. -

There is still the opportunity to use it next year under the emergency authorisation Bracken Control - News -

I've looked for a pto pump with drive through as my little tractor just doesn't have enough flow for my small processor.
-
My credit must be bad then, I can only buy through dealers and local dealers neither keep stock nor parts books.
-
Same here in Surrey but it's the bus company's own vehicle and team, I guess the red tape of getting highways to deal with them isn't worth the trouble to them.
-
Yes but cannot remember when I first had one, barley sugars were the first I remember being readily available after sugar ration stopped.

Where from?
-
Here are a couple of shots of fruiting bodies at the base of a 70 year old pine. These trees have suffered from heathland fires and more recently the use of a mulcher to revert the land to heather (and consequentially devastate the archeology of previous ancient agrarian regimes). You can see the damage from the mulcher or the 360 used to remove the surface litter. When felling I generally only came across Phaeolus schweinitzii on older trees and the presence in the butt was accompanied by a strong smell akin to Jeyes Fluid.
