  1. Pine martens supposedly help alot controlling grey numbers dunno why they don't breed them and realease all over? Probably annoy game keepers.... Greys are like triffids i reckon need to eliminate every last one or you will be back to sqaure one in a couple of yrs no matter how many you kill . NZ have a plan to kill every single invasive possum rat and stoat by by 2050 Five new trapping tools unveiled to achieve Predator Free 2050 mission | Stuff.co.nz WWW.STUFF.CO.NZ Gas and nail gun technology are being deployed in the fight to eradicate rats, possums and stoats. Anglesey being an island has zero greys (and zero deer) only because they had yrs of work and funding to kill every single grey and contsantly monitor for any getting back across the water as some greys do sometimes either get across the bridges or are re - released by public. But that won't work so well elsewhere....
  2. Hope the soil ain't a heavy clay. 😬 Very hard work to make a go of market gardening and labour intensive for little return as food is so cheap. Only places i know who do it manage to get by by running courses and free labour from woofers etc.
  3. Whats the plan for the fields rent them out to a farmer ? How are you planning 2 remove any logs cut etc?
  4. Leaving some Ivy and deadwood fallen trees are good things for nature etc, felling some of the healthy trees are easier to process into firewood... ea4300 is a good saw for £319.
  5. Seem this report was in the news etc with the headline quote https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/media/49523/state-of-the-uks-woods-and-trees-2021-the-woodland-trust.pdf Assssement criteria used? https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/documents/7554/FR_NFI_Condition_Scoring_Methodology_Dj8FtGq.pdf So a load of factors taken into account.....
  6. This seems the best for price in 610gsm heavy duty ones Heavy Duty Tarpaulin 610gsm WWW.ALLPLAS.CO.UK Heavy Duty Tarpaulin, 610gsm 100% waterproof amazing strength and durability. Best Quality tarpaulin on the market...
  7. Its from the gov site Tree felling licence: when you need to apply - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK The Forestry Commission controls tree felling by issuing felling licences. Heres the regs https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/876641/Tree_Felling_-_Getting_Permission_-_office_print_version.pdf
  8. Had a some cheap ones they only lasted less than 1yr Lorry sidings ones are really heavy weight but maybe OTT for hedge cuttings as bulky
  9. One on ebay Saw chain sharpener Tecomec Super Jolly 230v (made in Italy) (fast shipment) WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Saw chain sharpener Tecomec Super Jolly 230v (made in... Probably some brexit import duty will add a few quid on though.
  10. Have you seen theese italian jobs: Oregon 620 is a rebranded super jolly? Tecomec - SUPERJolly WWW.TECOMEC.COM Tecomec® S.r.l. rappresenta una delle realtà più affermate e specializzate, a livello mondiale, nel settore della...

  13. Hammered my bars rails like this bloke so am getting some more life from them being a tight ass.. Surprised how effective it was in tighting up the rails made the old bars useful again.
  14. Any companies still using ash cut in in the Uk for tool handles or are they all imported theese days? Seen this milling company sells thermo ash as cladding Brimstone Ash - Vastern WWW.VASTERN.CO.UK Produced from ash, the most prolific white wood in our mixed woodlands, Brimstone Ash is the most popular item in the...
  15. Is this all on the same saw or different ones? Im having the same issues with an ea4300. Its oiling fine im using rapeseed oil atm . One tank of fuel always lasts just abit less than one oil tank which is over 3/4 empty on refueling Bars outside hardly look worn that much before the inside wearing. Both on dolmar and an oregon bar 15". Using dolmarr and oregon chains. Have burred a few drivelinks throwing chains on blackthorn might be connected. But filed the burs on them before reusing so they ran smooth round the bar..... Bars groove regulary cleaned out. Wear is causing cuts to start curving to one side on large diameter logs.
  16. Think treee looks good as it is but id cut /coppice all stems rather than single out certain ones
  17. I suggest do a few UK ones first for practice if any are still happening with corvid. & even if they aren't happening you could just run the courses. Something like Offa's Dyke is similar distance. Or try sections of this Dragon's Back Race® - The World's Toughest Mountain Race - Ras Cefn y Ddraig WWW.DRAGONSBACKRACE.COM 6 days | 380km | 17,400m - the legendary multi-stage, ultra running journey down the spine of Wales.

  18. Looks like a Humbolt notch makes it jump forward off the stump better.
  19. What cut did they use and how much lighter is your wallet?
  20. Yeah twig looks like hazel Bark is right 4 hazel also - kind of forgot overstood hazel gets that big..
  21. I read that coppicing in summer does no harm for hazels regen ability so wonder if that means laying in summer wouls be ok for the trees apart from the birds
  22. Do you really spend 500 quid a month on breakfast? 😏
  23. Flue height is listed as 2.41m on this one think glass door is handy... Outbacker® Portable Wood Burning Stove OUTBACKERSTOVES.CO.UK Free carry bag for transporting. Original Outbacker Stove® lightweight, portable log burner. (10kg) Spark Arrestor... Saw one at being used to cook on at a festival was very little smoke. Think they had a taller flue fitted.
  24. Don't see the point of getting covered in smoke very bad for health etc with chimeras etc when you can get something like this instead Outbacker® Portable Wood Burning Stove - Glass Door OUTBACKERSTOVES.CO.UK Glass Window on Door Original Outbacker...
  25. Post pictures...
