Damn right! A MUST READ.
ShooTa replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I relise im rejuvenating an old thread - i wonder if brexit will have good connotations for this - or all the blustering/lobbying by the larger firms may make it worse./ -
red oak - leaves are the giveaway/
-
if its larch you could get a quick felling liscense due to SCARY phytophera.
-
Without knowing the reason for the limb to fall off - but would assume some drought related weakness so the oak has ditched a weak limb - so i myself would be thinking of not doing anything to it stability wise - as the tree will just crack on, ive had a fair number do that around here recently. however if there was weakness caused by something else then yes i would think about "beautifying it"
-
again more photos but im leaning towards caucasion (sp?) fir.

thank you for all of you input gents. 1 final question then - looking at this page.... Partner Chainsaw Rim type Clutch Sprocket 303597 NEW (sprkt box 11) | Chainsawr i notice its Oregan powermate ... so i assume that i can easily get this..........as its just this OREGON brand Power Mate Sprocket System for chainsaws or am i madly barking up the wrong tree.
-
did that with both the sprocket and the bearing - luckily they have comparable parts - so i guess the only issue is the part no. 505 30 35-97 --- aka the clutch plate/drum
-
Doing a rebuild job on an old partner 7000 plus getting it running for a chainsawmill - however am going to be needing some new parts for the clutch assembly. anyone know other than ebay where might be best? parts required atm are the sprocket, bearing and probably a new clutch plate as it looks like the spline has sheared (unless its intentionally in two parts.) I do have all the parts numbers.

Im presuming (my eyes nowadays) that thats a carraro? how do you get on with it and which model did you stump up for been aggressively exploring them for a future purchase for our small but terrain like woodland.
-
I will second Phil - he trained me and conducts many of his courses at my property.
-
Although as not recommended - its a PITA to deal with - our main hedges our laurel and kept back with a hedgecutter on a tractor - but we have alot of non hedge stuff - which gets burnt - lay it on and stand well back avoiding the smoke.... and head off untill its burnt down then reheap a new lot on the fire.
-
Awsome - have been wondering what lengths to cut to due to extraction ideas.
-
Oli - check your PMs
-
just throwing out some thoughts - you could in theory ask customers - on a trial basis to give up a few peices of wood - which could then be tested- the customer would rate their merchant, and combined with your testing of their logs (mc + btu output) combined with a load volume (aka dumpy, m3 bag, hilux etc.) you could begin to get a rating system - with a leader board - PEOPLE love leader boards - especially businesses. the only downside is how to test customers who buy 1x per year.
-
been looking for a while - thinking of getting a logrite one from orion heating ..same with their rolling bar with the pointy end
-
Although not a climber - my FAk has a UKF wound dressing - plus other non standard bits and bobs - so this thread has really got me thinking about TQs and isreali dressings and celox (i too had heard about the burning/blood poisoning) . And yes im in full agreement about the use of TQs and chest seals and the huge need for regular and upto date training for their use, i can barely remeber my Tq training form the army now. lastly - where do you guys purchase yours? off the net?
-
Suggestions from someone with a bit more land - start with a PLAN. work the plan dont go off plan (its way to easy to see a section and get stuck into it) enjoy the fun.... i would suggest mapping out your site and then either clear your boundary or your known tracks, then systematically plan to clear a section per length of time - once you have your ground cleared you can then really get into the silva cultural practices. monty don(i think) did a fair little tv show on turning round an old woodland not that long ago.

Granfors Bruks splitting Axe or Maul ??
ShooTa replied to combined tree services's topic in General chat
i have the large maul - i love it - keep it sharp and its soo nice. -
Lawks!!!
-
because its comes back to us via brussels in the form of single farm payments --- no wait .. it goes to france..........
-
I have the husky tongs (small/medium) and they serve me very well - i think the larger tongs are OTT as really you will be trying to lift something too heavy with the large sizes - and a splitting axe/wedge can always split them smaller if they are rounds - or if long lengths then youll want a heavier bit of equipment(winch etc) a peavy for log rolling and a pickeroon are other tools woth thinking about - logrite seem to be well favoured.

Logrite improved Pricelist launch at APF2014
ShooTa replied to tz1_1zt's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
excellent to see you at the show - shame i didnt have enough cash to actually get involded with some stuff. i was the chap who was tlaking about your website late friday. -
you could purchase one -0 such as the logrite one.... OOOORRRRRRRRR you could save tyourself a ton and find a plastic barrel (usually blue with a black lid thats strapped on which has a curve to the sides) then cut said barrel leaving the bottom plus a U shape (or kinda diagonal if it were on its end) cut a hole for the chain/cable and Voila.
-
also enjoy the tailback to get in.......... buy your things first - aka small kit and take em straight back to car.........
-
yep i loved that - not only for the excellnt workmanship - but i saved frjones till my last stop - so certainly left with a smile.
