Friend of mine has Norwood coming up for sale mobile, Honda gx390 lump, think it does up to 29” , has loads of bands, the electric sharpening thingy and feather board/shingle jig, not done massive amount of work, selling cos he’s now taken on office job with real money (souled out[emoji849]) I’ll find out price if you’re interested ?

Have you tried thuja (western red cedar)? Light and strong, steams well. Like your website!

Steering drawbar sounds good. Been trying to find a video link so i can see what they are like if you have to go a sharp 90 degree into a site etc... not found owt yet. Don’t bother watching a video Swinney! As has been said you will never regret getting one with steering drawbar: if the tractor will go in the trailer will follow, it means you can turn rig in a much smaller area, great for thinning and can help increase your reach a bit. Only drawback is it can be a bit unstable on uneven ground (if slewed) with a load on so you have to take turns real slow. Can’t really help with advice on large one as we only have a mowi 300 (behind MF 390 80hp) which is a bit light for what you want but punches well above its weight (so may be worth looking at the larger models ( think Fuelwood Warwick main dealer ) They used to be the only cranes with true parallel movement but this is probably no longer the case.

Bought arbortec breathedry smock at apf but only had first climb in it today in the rain, I didn’t get wet and it wasn’t clammy inside[emoji106]

What a great video, Steve! I had some large sycamore slabs that had got a bit of woodworm and a guy who buys a fair bit of ash off me said I had t get em out the stack/sets n burn em before they ruined everything else. But being a bit of a tight arse I just moved em well away from the rest un-stickered, with the intention of cutting the worst bits out..... then forgot about them![emoji849] About 18months later ‘re-discovered’ them on a fudge about day & made a bar for marquee on 50th birthday: Looked fantastic when varnished

It’s very common, I’ve found they colonise felled ash as soon as the frosts end particularly if timber left on the deck for forwarding in drier weather. Had a customer,with own small woodland that we thin and convert material to logs for him, ask me to empty his wood store full of lovely seasoned ash because he thought his house wood get infested with wood worm (it’s a 500 yr old half timbered Hall). Was about 5 tin of logs?

A solid lead! Thanks Pete

You got a second hand one?
-
Is there a more common equivalent?
-
Yeah thought so, it’s for large gardens on an estate I do work for, they bought brand new one a few years ago then the manager sold it cos he said the gardeners didn’t use it enough, now he gone and the owner has given the go ahead t get another.? Had thought about selling them my entec 35 and upgrading but le grand from age is insistent on pto
-
Nice! What sort of crane is that? It looks like ones I had on Bedford tk and ford d series 30 years ago, what’s it carry?
-
Can anyone point me in the direction of a second hand pto tw 150? Thanks in advance

Norfolk police have raided a house behind the library in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and found Drugs with a street value of £4 million 12 AK47 rifles and 22 hand grenades. Local residents are in a state of shock as they didn't know Great Yarmouth had a library.

You can buy the slab flattening jig from the woodcraft web site

Surrey Wildlife Trust to fell thousands of Ash trees
timbernut replied to claydon's topic in General chat
We’ve found the only real problem with felling them by hand is if you use hi lift wedges good sized bits can drop off as you’re pounding em in so only use a winch now. I also really don’t get the reasoning behind pollarding/coppicing as the regen, like the seedlings, is far more susceptible to the disease, or has this thinking changed? We now cut em flush t ground cos the regen always succumbs within 2 years. There’s a half decent (3.5k per hectare) re establishment grant for ash woodland, with the disease, (much less for non native though) -
Lovely bowl, DT. When I first looked i thought it was a ball on a platter!
-
Hornbeam was also used for industrial flooring, though I’ve often wondered where they sourced decent volumes of it to mill. Shit outside though
