Stayed in a house a couple of years ago and every room had floor boards of a different wood (all from westonbirt I believe) and one room had horse chestnut: it had some interesting grain but the owner said you shouldn't walk on it in high heels (fortunately I'd left em at home😃)

Think someone put up the Avalanches Frontier Psychiatrist recently and now after 16 yrs they've just brought out this:

I always use truck for dumping own/families domestic stuff, it's obvious I do tree work so they don't question when I turn up wit a load of old tat.

Why on earth didn't they just use a couple of slings with shackles for the swing?

There's a nice lookin Valmet with front loader on arbtrader now

I use an mf390 (pretty much identical to 399) for forwarding, winching, swiping in woods with a bushhog and topping headlands. It's not much over 70hp but does it all with ease. Quite narrow with good ground clearance, reliable simple n (generally) easy to repair. You can pick a good un up for about 10k. I liked the look of mendips one with hydraulic winch on the front and I seem to recall someone else on here recently picked up a right nice 390 with a front loader within your budget. Good luck

This book is some of my granny and grandads diary and letters from then:

My grandad on mums side lost 3 brothers in France (he was too young) and grandad on dads side became a pilot in 1917 in desperation to get to the front line. He was shot down and his plane tailspun into the troops he'd been attacking. He woke up a prisoner in German hospital and later escaped from prison camp but was recaptured after a few days. At the end of the war, on release, he said the Germans had nothing and he swapped 2 of his cigs and a piece pork(ish) pie for an iron cross which I still have. One of my cousins has his own medals. It was his old injuries which finally killed him. My dad said his last words were "wish they'd hurry up and pull the chocks, I need to be going" All incredibly brave men, many of whom needlessly lost their lives because of the arrogant donkeys who called the shots

But the head in the vid does the processing! -
Got called off thinning job yesterday as a lovely old oak pollard had collapsed and half of it was across the road, quite gutted as its one we had suggested reducing about 4 yrs ago would possibly still b standing. This long legged lady landed on me! And this swarm of bees prevented us clearing the other half (fortunately not on the road) But help was at hand:

Hypro processors/ harvesters

Nah it was the tractor mounted nisula 325h n crane, much more appealing to me. I love felling with saw but if I was gonna process with a tractor mounted bit o kit I'd like to be in the cab out of the rain (gets more appealing as I get older😀) not standing behind it (as good as those Hypros are) -
But do they look like this?

Yeah , good point would work if you were cutting rows out. Anyone know what sort of money are they with without crane?
