I'd put money on it being field maple

Good point

I do like that orange mr git! I've been thinking of doing my Landy that sort of colour or Stonleigh grey (Ferguson), but can't decide bold or stealthy🤔

If it's any help my processor runs off a Honda same as yours and the ram is about 3.5" diameter not sure of pump size but it runs on a trio of belts from the engine to shaft with pump at back and 700mm blade at other then belt for conveyor it uses 8 t on hare speed and 15 on tortoise speed. Hope that's a bit of help (and makes sense😀)

Not an expert but I think the ants farm/ milk the aphids for a liquid and the other bug looks like a robber fly of some sort ( bit like a wolf in a flock o sheep)

No, lockjack 😀 and a an inclination to try spiderjack and srt, I just like ancient methods of time keeping and communication as the pace suits me more

My dad had to rescue me from 40' up a conifer when I was 5, it was either a thuja or a sequoia. I'd 'accessed' it from the slide, I can't remember it, but he reckons I was about 10' from the top n cawing like a jackdaw! I freeclimb trees on occasion (but not at work) always seems quicker than wi ropes in the way -
Lovely day, 10 loads out wi the Massey n mowi then this happened😩:

I sold my house.

Also meant to say buy from the importer based at Earsham, nr Bungay in Suffolk as very good service
-
The Winchmax winches are extremely good value for money, a friend of mine has had one on his landy for two yrs and regular use has had no problems with it. I bought a wee one for a friend to put on his car transporter trailer a few months ago (sub£140) as payment for bringing my freelander back from w country and he really rates it. As well as a lead remote you get 2 wireless controls and if the sender unit fails you can replace it including new controls for about £40 compared to £150 or so on a warm etc. I will be putting the 120000lb one on my landy as soon as I have pennies for it and bumper!

Just out of interest did you just imply that they want you to get the job done just for the wood?
-
I think, in general, it's not a bad thing as most people who buy a plot just want to be able to spend time in a wood on their own terms and do some hobby forestry, management wise I think it's good cos it's easy for someone to care fore a small block and the varying methods of management could lead to wider biodiversity, more human activity may mean less deer damage as well. It's funny you mention drainage as this is one of my main concerns with selling a couple of plots of mine as it gets very boggy in winter, but one of the reasons I'm selling is to have some capital to do some major drainage and dig a big pond. Other concern is vermin control if I get a couple of proper bunny huggers who don't like squirrels/bunnies/muntjac etc getting shot. As far as inflated prices go small blocks of any land will always go for big bucks ( good for me as I don't need to sell as much😀)

Hi felix, sorry only just saw this, we're about 10 miles south of Norwich

Another 3hrs, think I need a wee saw n dime bar as it's hard work wi the 560 n 15" bar!

Forest.co.uk are sister co to woodlands.co.uk and act as agent so have some different blocks to the latter who only buy and parcel it off for more. Only found this out as I find myself in the gutting position of having to sell some of ours😖 bit too far away for you Gbaz

I'm starting with an owl (that's what it is sposed to b at the mo😳) then I thought maybe some faces in the burred lumps then........logs😀
-
So after being banned from carving by the misses a few years ago (for my one tracked mind) I promised not to carve owt obscene and spent an hour or so on this big lump of ash that's been hanging around for a while and thought if I posted pics as it goes on ( for better or worse ) it might motivate me to finish it within a yr or two, and I'm lookin for a bit of inspiration for the rest of it, be as harsh as you like I'm a big boy!
