    Can't verify the claim but I'm sure the blade works a different way so don't need to do a full cycle - only cut what what needs cut.

    Now that's how you crack on and take down a tree in jig time, not sure I would get on very well with his choice of footwear though. On a serious note, this is why UK industry is struggling so much. You take these kind of working practices and compare them to ours and you can see why anything UK made is so expensive.

    I understand your sentiments AHPP, the incredible amount of bureaucracy in place now and accompanying non jobs are a massive drain on our economy. i remember when machine tickets first came out and you needed different tickets for a 8 wheel forwarder and 6 wheel forwarder. Good luck with your search

    You should be able to pick up 4.9m lengths fairly easy, does it need to be exactly 5m? if you're after that exact diameter then you may need to pay a little bit more to cover lorry sorting through pile when loading. When you say DBH I take it you mean top diameter and not actually dbh?

    Well done Now they're in place is it worth putting cable tie or similiar over spring hook/bracket to keep them from popping off again?

    If its a domestic boiler can your company not register as rhi supplier then sell wood fuel to you or your wife?

    Where's your collection point (approximately)? Should be able to send a pallet in mainland UK for £60 to £75

    A tragedy for a local family but a reminder to all of us that work with heavy machinery... BBC News - Machine lurched killing forester, Stirling inquiry hears

    A loglift 60 on one of them, not sure about the other. I don't have the manual to hand but from memory it has quite a few crane options.

    Working for a small producer I've dealt directly with buyers at Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose. They were all ok regarding listings/price increases except Waitrose where the head buyer wanted to take on our product, unfortunately the category buyer was ruthless regarding what was in it for Waitrose. After verbal agreement to list us they then reneged as someone offered them more attractive terms, consequently the other product got "our" spot on the shelves. On a personal level I support local shops where I can but the convenience of supermarket is where they win.

    4t an hour average wouldnt leave you much slack I'd have thought. Hopefully nice and clean sticks!

    Some pics from today's walk, Beautiful woodlands and lochs here. Passed another couple NT sites with more signs nailed onto soft and hardwood, they're pulling poles out of a thinning so I assumed were buggering around with horses but there are machine tracks into wood so not sure why poles. Also came across stack of good and rotten timber on a quiet road. Some oak which I'd guess to be millable along with random SW off cuts

    Not sure what size they are, taken with iPhone and synced over to ipad. I've managed that way before SteveA but doesn't seem to be working now, I'll look at the app. Thanks anyway Edit: £2.99 for app! I'll need to ask Wee Eck to add this onto free tuition, prescriptions etc

    can select image from library but it never actually uploads

    Staying in Ambleside and yes, the weather is bit greyer today. On macbook so can upload pics this time. Can understand that with signs nailed on then at least you know they're not going anywhere, well not unless ripped down entirely. Think I saw a few Iggesund signs so possibly a standing sale. Any idea if they're skidding/skylining the larch poles out? Was NT site at Claife
  18. Wood wasp
    Ha ha I should! Missed everyone at the APF too, did get a bloody good soaking though on the Friday

    I would upload pics if I could but ipad/site/cottage wifi doesn't seem keen

    Down in the Lakes, very beautiful but busy. Had a walk through the woods today and came across couple of harvesting sites and brand new John Deere harvester. Also came across a national trust site where they were clearing larch (diseased?), pretty rough snedding but not sure what they're going to do with the poles so maybe doesn't need to be close. NT signs nailed onto oaks raised an eyebrow though!

    Passed a brand new JD harvester in Lake District today when out on a walk, wasn't great timber around us and steep ground too... immediate thought that flashed through my mind was how's he going to make that pay? Hopefully he's getting price to reflect quality timber, on shores of windermere so might even be one of these FC/AN other quango sites where economics don't matter

    Awful news and these occurrences seem to be happening more and more, wonder if the law will ever take into account the impact of such a loss on a small business? Hope you get back up and running ASAP

    For some reason on ipad I can only post one pic at a time...
