I have both the 38cm and the 80cm and find I use the 80cm a lot more
-
Sounds like a nice set up. Agreed on the wood left outside always being drier too
-
Similar to you. I bought the SCD 700 about 12 months ago and find it easier going than standing with a chainsaw all day. All the log lengths are consistent too using the saw bench.
-
I've got the long and short Helko log picks. Great bits of kit. If you get something that's a bit big and awkward or in a bad position to pick up you can use the log picks to drag the wood instead. Good for picking lengths out of a stack of wood too

Skyland site said contact for availability so got it from FR jones

Ordered from FR Jones

How do you keep them dry when they're stacked 8 high outside? Do you move them inside before winter
-
People say it burns ok when I asked here http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/83762-willow-2.html#post1249255 Got some to put in to logs myself

Think I paid £1100+VAT

With timber like this your laughing

Similar situation to you. I got a Balfor SCD700 saw bench from Riko. It will basically cut any diameter that I can within reason pick up and put on it. Not found anything wrong with it so far, touch wood. Not used a HP Eagle but the design on the rocking part makes it look like you would be restricted to the diameter of log you could fit in to it. Not used a cone splitter either but I just don't like the thought of a log getting stuck on it and spinning round near your hand or flying off somewhere. The other one I looked at was the Ryetec. Looked really strong but it cost a little bit more and didn't have wheels so you'd only be able to store it where the tractor could get to.

Just hardwood. No sorting in to different grades. It takes roughly the same amount of time to process no matter what type of wood it is, all of it's seasoned and it all burns well so it's all the same price!
-
I'd be interested in seeing the pictures of your installation. Thanks

fire wood kindling | eBay Might be handy for someone based Manchester way.

Thanks Big J and everyone else

Here's a photo of the buds
-
It was very easy to cut through now I come to think of it
-
Ok thanks. I'll get a pic of the buds when I'm up there next. It's a bonus if it is Ash.
-
There's Ash in the back of this photo and the bark is a different colour and texture to the tree that's been felled at the front which is why I was thinking it's not Ash. But I'm definitely no expert They are all on the ground now and none of them split on me thankfully. Just got to tidy up and put the fence back up now
-
Do you get different kinds of Ash as this isn't like any of the other Ash I've dealt with before? The bark is smoother and a more silver colour and the branches are different too. There's an Ash just a few metres away from this and it looks like a different type of tree to this
-
Is this Willow? And what's it like to season and burn? Cheers
-
Does anyone know if the clutch cover from a Husqvarna 435 would fit a 440e? I don't like the tool less chain tensioning system on the 440e. 440e 435 They look pretty much the same saws apart from the clutch cover? Thanks
-
I've felled a lot of trees leaning over fences and walls by sticking a wire rope round them and pulling them where I want them to land with the tractor. Does the job till I can afford a winch. Maybe an option for you depending on how much room you have to work in and whether you have a tractor
-
Personally an 8x5 would be about the limit for what I could get in to about 90% of the driveways I deliver to. But then most of my deliveries are little villages with bad access
-
What's it like on wood that's not Silver Birch? Good for Hazel or even Oak?
