Anything above chest height or extended arm has its limitations for me too. I don't think you ever get the muscle strength back , but learn to adapt to what you have. I cant throw a ball overhand , and as Stubby commented about light bulbs, I have similar problems. I still get periods of neck pain where everything is pulling tight, it will be 15 years since I had mine repaired.

Hope you recover well,...take care of yourself.

Tbh it was probably the first time in my life I properly listened to consultants, Drs and physios, . The first 8 weeks post op it was strapped in a sling permanently to my chest, it is something I would never want to experience again, hence the listening . Got 90 odd % movement back .
-
I severed both tendons in one shoulder many years ago. one of the most painful experiences of my life. 8 months post op. no driving,over 12 months post op. before light duties.

You could try Wessex woodlands

£2.50 at stump is more than he would get on the open market. Beech planking currently £55-58/t delivered, that equates to £2-£2.25 hoppus delivered.Ash slightly more. Summer felled Ash isn't every ones favourite.
-
£1 hoppus at stump .
-
Sorry to read this Eggs.
-
Elm I reckon.
-
Robert Tweddle is working sites in the area, may be worth a call.
-
Milling beech for UK market £57 delivered . ...but there is an export market and if someone has tapped into that £45 standing would be viable. £1 a hoppus .for fell and extract..which would make it roughly £70 roadside . That would leave an attractive margin for the export market.
-
Failing that you could ask on Forest machine operators blog ,,good chance someone on there may know ? Have you tried Iain Wilson ?
-
The sawmill at Newick ( Turners) ? had one that was parked up a few years ago,..may be worth a call.
-
What size tree are they at 200 per day ? On 8 hours cutting that's a tree every 2 min mins, allowing for fuelling etc .
-
Looks more like an Atlas to me than hiab ,...3006 I reckon.

That's a bad comparison in this scenario,..bottom line is if the guy has been instructed to fell at that height he has been instructed badly. -

I have to agree with the constructive criticism here,...getting your cuts right is by cutting at ground level. The best holding wood is at the bottom of a tree,..better chance of direction being accurate,wider gob with less chance of the tree breaking out or barrelling on the stump. -
Big forestry winch needed - North Dorset

You could try Ian Hampshire , Medstead. -
I felled through the disease in the 70s and 80s,. There was a licencing scheme in place for movement eventually. Diseased timber could be moved within counties that were deemed to have the disease with bark on . November to March the bug was dormant and timber could be moved anywhere during these months . The FC did police it to an extent and would check loads,..the merchant I worked for at the time had an inspection on several trailers loaded for delivery , the FC forester marked a load of Poplar suitable for movement,..thought it was Elm,..says it all .
-
Agreed, I have sent many a load in on trust , unseen .priced off the lorry. Not many you could do that with.
-
Have you checked it for worm hole ? You will struggle to get anyone to touch it if it is riddled with them,..its always a possibility that its present in logs that have been down any amount of time. Dave Madgwick, Vastern Timber would be your man if the logs sound.
-
Think your tonnage calculations are way out. Species is of little consequence if you are contract harvesting in relation to roadside values of timber,...that's the merchants issue.
-
How will you turn it into the top one ? The top one has a square cornered cutter , the bottom one (semi) has a round one .
-
You could try Bridon, formerly British ropes. They will advise you on diameter etc,..but 19mm would be a minimum in wire.
-
FMOC provisional and assessment for tracked base machine will be around £300, From what you have said it sounds like the cscs element has expired,to get blue card now which lists all the things you are covered for is a day in classroom and touchscreen test like the old cscs test.
