  1. Love the graphics Carlo, it's th e kinda thing I want to do on my double cab 127 when it's finally done. I've been considering putting a v8 gas conversion in it anyone got any thoughts on pros n cons?
  2. Bit pretentious innit?!
  3. Only gripe is it came with 3/8 n would've preferred .325 and apparently there's no .325 sprocket available to fit (I prefer the smaller nose when breakin down/snedding dense conifers)
  4. 357 was my favourite saw for a lonng time closely followed by 346 for coppicing but when I snapped chain brake handle on 560 a couple of months ago I brought the 357 out for a couple of days and despite it having like new compression and new AV s it was no comparison to the 560. Last week bought a 562 and am findin it feckin brilliant!
  5. Yep Like that
  6. That arbworks machine is a beast![emoji3] the rock one looked like it was struggling but the FSI looked pretty capable ( like all their machines )
  7. That's a shame, I was lookin for a cheap(ish) option as access isn't generally an issue. 15k is way out of my budget!
  8. Good points mr git, thank you, it's simplicity appealed but I think I'll continue searching then. Any thoughts on a suitable brand?
  9. Sorry meant to post link: https://woodlandmills.eu/uk/product/wg24-stump-grinder/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqPTpkOjm1gIVbbXtCh1rlwpHEAAYASAAEgIztfD_BwE
  10. Hi, I've been looking at a woodland mills PTO stump grinder and apart from the increased compaction caused by movin the tractor back n forth it seems like a simple and robust tool that would be good for the ride widening and site clearance jobs we do. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with on or any thoughts on its disadvantages/merits. Thanks John

    Wood id

    I've some bits of blackthorn that look very similar
  12. Can't we say 'butt' on a tree forum'?[emoji12]
  13. With the lesions round the lateral branches it looks like chalara, most of the coppice regen and young plantation plants round here look like this.
  14. Pretty sure they were used everywhere, I'm sure someone posted pics of some in courtyard of a country house stable block a while back and they were just surfaced straight over in a lot of parts of London. a bit of a digression but I think a good proportion of the m1 was laid over sawn planks of imported hardwoods.
  15. I have had a pair of husky technicals for a while now and they are showing very little sign of wear despite hard use although the high leg means they're not so good for climbing
  16. You're not breaching any planning regs! I live and work in a wood and during the 12yr battle we had with the lpa there was never an issue with any of the operations I carry out needing change of use only our residency, charcoal burning, log production etc are seen as forestry activities. Maybe if you put in a prior notification for a small forestry building the enforcement officer would have to look at the guidelines instead of jumping to conclusions.
  17. Thanks for your replies. Graham, I just got a blank page when I opened your link. Stubby I don't think it's potassium deficiency as the hornbeam in particular has lots of brethren in close proximity and I'd expect to see the same thing on at least some of them. Incidentally the entire hornbeam is leaved like this (I clambered up it this morning) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. It's a good half mile from any road and well within a good sized (30h) woodland, surrounded by same species stools, also oak, ash, birch and field maple and we cleared it of conifers about 10yrs ago. Most likely a virus then? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. Hi, while looking at a ride widening job yesterday I found this hazel stool and also a large hornbeam stool with this leaf variegation, they were about 200m apart and was wondering what caused it? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. Hornbeam? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. Think most of em come from our communities! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. Bees nest in collapsed veteran oak Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. Didn't think they survived in captivity, but when I looked it up I found this site: http://www.hare-preservation-trust.co.uk/rearing.php Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. Are they individuals or a hedge and what size? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  25. Neither look like larch to me either, bottom Douglas fir and top a spruce of some sort Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
