  1. Well, within reason. It'll stop people randomly coming in but won't stop those who are determined to get in
  2. It's an expensive way of getting firewood. You'll need a method of cutting it and getting it out. 3 acres isn't a vast amount for it to be sustainable. Fencing will keep out people and deer (if it's high enough) but may not be necessary or worth it. If you want to bring a vehicle in there, then you'll need a decent track if it's not a 4x4 based mobile home. That is expensive and could need planning permission. A woodland with that existing will probably have a higher pricetag. Woodlands.co.uk are a money making business and I know they don't allow shooting in their woodlands but otherwise may not be too restrictive. I wonder how many lots that they sell actually get managed properly and lead to healthier woodland overall?
  3. Inspired me to clear a load of crap out of the way and get mine out again. Been sat in the barn for quite some time now but fired right up with jump leads. Battery completely knackered (was fitted with a winch and wasn't powerful enough) so ordered a new one. Drove beautifully. Thought petrol might have gone off but apparently not
  4. Ah, fair enough
  5. I didn't need to do any welding to fit the towbar to my Jimny

    I haven't had any for a couple of years but before then it would come in fits and starts.
  7. I use a tow hitch adaptor on the front pintle of my tractor to run an electric winch. With a cheap wireless remote it's fantastic and I can fit muck forks to the loader to anchor into the ground if desired
  8. They're pretty simple machines. Mine jammed up the other day when a fork went through it but the overrun clutch on the PTO shaft saved the day. The product is fiddly to burn but you can really fill a stove up and it goes for a long time. It gets choked up on brash but it's a decent way of reducing bulk if you don't have a chipper
  9. Do they take from cuttings? Tempted to coppice it this year as it's been a mast year so unlikely to crop heavily next year
  10. The point of the branch logger is that it processes stuff too small to split. That said, a lot of it splits naturally when going through. Soon be stove weather so will be burning a lot of it
  11. Don't the biomass companies have their own chippers?
  12. It is very slow and makes it difficult to mow around.
  13. If sold cheap then maybe it'll garner some interest
  14. Did you read my post? I've tried layering but it's not working
  15. Doesn't bark sometimes serve to protect a tree from forest fires and therefore doesn't burn well?
