Can't you just drill agree at big hole in it?

Few years ago I milled a elm butt that I had felled 3 yrs previous and it was just lying on the ground. I got some nice timber out of it. The 80's? That's a long time! But mill it what have you got to lose? May be some spalting in it too

It's the love child of a mog and a Bedford rascal?

Poor old thing, it's sad but the kindest thing to do.

Yes! Looked at pics and info on the web and I'm pretty sure it's this, thank you very much daltontrees!

Yeah orchard prunings, I worked in a 70 acre orchard in Devon for 10 years before I moved to Berkshire but I'm planing to move back to Devon next year and will prob do more apple tree pruning then. We always used to just bonfire the cut branches before but if we could make turn them into chunks and chip the rest and it was worth doing then I could supply you with chunks and chip. This won't happen until December 2015 at the earliest so will you still need it then?

The company I work for started buying 261's when they replaced the 260 but every saw had clutch bearing issues and eventually the dealer took all 6 or 7 saws back and we replaced them with stihl 362's. Now, my 362 is about 1 year old and last Friday it didn't sound quite rite and when I took the clutch off the bearing housing had melted! Yet to fit a new one so not sure if I need a new clutch drum, but apart from that I like my 362, a bit sluggish, but I'm only a tree surgeon not a forestry cutter. In response to spuds wonderings about the auto tune 362s a couple of lads have them and I used one yesterday, it kept cutting out when idling so was having to rev it between cuts to keep it going. Annoying that I couldn't just turn up the tickover screw, guess it'll have to go back

Found these 3 on a beech tree this week. One stem had already fallen so the rest was felled on Tuesday. I know one is kretzschmaria deusta and one is ganoderma applanatum But not sure of the third one, a young dryads saddle? Not a good guess I know, and probably something simple?

Thanks! Great vid what a simple and quick way to get into the next tree. Now to search the web for one of those hooks -
I'll have a look thanks Eddie

Ok thanks timon

Ahh, I use that in an emergency, no more. Going to switch to aspen in my personal saws. Where can I get aspen near Hungerford or Basingstoke?
-
Would chipped orchard printings be no good? Why do the chunks need to be so big?

Does anyone us a grappling iron to throw into the next tree and then pull across? Saw this done on heli loggers and thought it was a good idea -

Get your groundy to tie it on your rope and then you can pull it up to yourself -
I got stung on the face today and someone suggested orange was acidic so I rubbed a satsuma segment on it. Not good telly, and it didn't help.

Yep, that's a hornet

That's great, my kids would love it!
