    Think you'll find there is weight restriction, was talking to contract farmer the other week and he said they vary from county to county ( or local authority ) he works Norfolk/Suffolk and farms a lot of land

    Unless you just survey cos a picus tester or long screwdriver and sounding hammer would look weird:)

    Sorry didn't mean to be pissy. I always carry a couple spare for all our saws but you're a bit to far away for me to be any help

    Used Aspen for first time in the 540 today: must say I'm impressed, it was like a different saw! The improvement in pickup of revs was immediate:)

    We milled wood for chap (Reuben) on there tonight

    Same as that. We did a job today reducing 5 ash coppice stools by half : couldn't do anything fancy to make it look good but if we hadn't done it someone else would've! Ironically the nephew of the chap we did it for is on Amazing Spaces on ch 4 as I type this (we felled n milled the thuja for the project:):)

    Yup my dogs love it, they always at the combi cans or hoovering up lumps when i airline side casings etc, sure it can't be good for them!

    The land must be host to some sort of rare flora, surely? I presume it's a piece of open land that has turned into wood thru natural succession, or woodland invaded by sycamore?

    Suss your soil type out first ash (if you didn't have to worry dieback), birch n oak will grow well pretty much anywhere, but chestnut and some others may not fare so well on the wrong soil.

    Saw a tiddy telehandler at APF can't remember what make, looked really handy.

    Bought my first lot of Aspen today, have a couple o days reducing a load of ash trees starting tomorrow so will see how I get on with it. ( Still reeling from paying £60 for 15lts though!

    Funnily enough last week was 'Grown In Britain' which is all about promoting home grown timber (obviously!) and they are running an accreditation scheme which would hi light that your selling uk produced logs, but would cost you and like FSC is probably not worth it for small producers to join and like FSC is the average punter really that bothered?

    Yet more bureaucracy? Really? No feckin thankyou! There's more than enough of this type of organisation, Napoleon really was right about the British!

    What a talent!

    Is sweet chestnut not naturalised? I thought it was introduced by the Romans but also recall this now bein challenged

    Oops must of missed that bit, probably to busy spraying everything with disinfectant every time we went to or from a wood (or I might've been in one of those fine Amsterdam coffee shops unable to speak!

    Yup COBRA struck with all the force of a slow worm on smack. And why was it that when F n M struck the shutters were slammed shut world wide but when our bio security is threatened we can't do owt cos it will affect international trade agreements!.

    Like climbing an eel!

    Can't see how weight attached to mc could work, for example: one month I buy in artic of sycamore @20% mc and the following month I get artic load of oak @20% the weight difference is goin to be quite a lot so if I sell load of sicky to joe blogs he's happy with the 2m3 I deliver but then when I get his repeat order I turn up with say 1.5 of oak I don't think he's goin to be happy in spite of the higher calorific value per log, Also 1m3 (cube) is a technical term, you just need to specify it's loose:)
