Hi, I currently have ongoing work in Highland Perthshire mainly around Pitlochry and Aberfeldy areas. Mixture of work including larger trees and windblow but plenty of smaller tree work also, mainly felling regeneration and respacing so basic tickets would suffice. Rate depending on experience and qualifications. Mainly looking for self employed individuals but may consider other arrangements. For more info please message. Thanks, Mark

They are very delicate, if I remember correctly they have glass in them and don't strech. We broke one last year that bt had just put up. Fortunately they weren't live and bt paid as they shouldn't have strung them between the branches in the first place. Copper ones didnt brake.

Hi, I am currently looking for a cutter/cutters for Estate duties on a Perthshire Estate near Pitlochry. There will be a few weeks work with this job and perhaps more in the surrounding area. If you are interested please call 07748434945 Thanks Mark

There is huge structural differences between species.Take YC 24 Sitka spruce V YC 8 scots pine or larch totally different?? Also take an untreated or poorly treated spruce fence post you'd be lucky if it hadn't rotted away at the base after 5 years when untreated larch would still be sound.

.85 would be a sensible conversation so 180 x .85 = 153t (6 lorry loads) biggest variable is probably the person that's estimating the standing volume.

Petrol Chainsaw | Scheppach Chainsaw | ALDI UK WWW.ALDI.CO.UK Keep your garden in top shape this summer. Buy yourself a new Scheppach petrol chainsaw and make quick work of cutting... Can anyone see what's not quite right about it? Would be quite entertaining to see a video of it in use!

Thanks for the info guys. Always good to learn about different types of wood.. Just noticed that with the title, predictive text again!

Thanks matty, it's got the fruity slight pineapple smell. I was fairly sure it was WRC but someone thought the wood looked different that just added some doubt.

Hi guys, I think this timber is WRC but isn't something that I normally deal with so if anyone could confirm it from the photos that would be appreciated. Cheers

Been flat out this year with firewood, hopefully it'll quieting down as every bit of machinery I have is screaming out to be serviced. Prices will be going up for the first time in 6 years so will see how that goes down.

The price has went up massively. Cut it at 3m unless you can find a customer who doesn't mind the lengths

There's no come back unless they felled without a felling licence and you'll find that out on the Forestry Commissions website (type in LIS) In Scotland if the felled area is to be fenced of for restocking the boundary fencing costs will be split 50/50. If the trees were to fall onto the fence and damage it then that would be the owner of the trees who would liable cover costs of repairs.

Hi John I think my forwarder is slightly longer than it states in the manual. But the drawing gives you an idea of overall dimensions for transport. Running costs are always an issue with older machines this ones just done over 12k and mechanically fairly sound. Cheers Mark

Cheers, can't fault the thing it runs spot on. I think its just under 12t will take a look at the manual. Its fairly short as the back bolster slides out to take 2 bays of 3m.

The Valmet's been working well. Mostly on thinning and yard work
