Best time of year to coppice / pollard?
Stere replied to sandspider's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Apparently for hazel it doesn't make much diffference to growth rates after a few yrs what time you coppice it. Read some really good study they did an experiment coppicing in every month, stools did just as well after 5yrs etc (height and thickness/number of rods) if coppiced in summer as the winter coppiced ones. Annoying can't find the study now. Also read somewhere else charcoal makers and bodgers coppiced all year round. Wonder about frost hardyness though for tender shoots if late summer coppiced (espeically chesnut maybe?) About moisture content if you leave the leaves on tree for a while after summer felling the wood is suppose to loose some of ther the moisture....transpiration. Think it was in nowegian wood they mentioned it -

I wouldn't want to use a tractor PTO splitter alot as you get gassed by the fumes. Anyone run a hose etc to take the exhaust fumes further away?

Stere replied to Stere's topic in The Lounge
More of this kind of thing I suppose: The Scottish islands are owned by the people who live on them - The Scotsman WWW.SCOTSMAN.COM A ‘historic day’ for a tiny island off the coast of Mull was hailed today after ownership was passed to the community... -
Interesting ideas paper: Land for the Many: A report to Labour LANDFORTHEMANY.UK This independent report commissioned by the Labour Party aims to put land where it belongs: at the heart of political... Pretty radical ideas about land ownership & tax reform.

If he'd being around a few yrs ago before the internets & social media he'd just be some unknown racist on a street corner shouting abuse at passers by, but now due to social media hes become some kind of mascot to idiots.

All "sport" t shirts aren't equal some cheapo ones are like bin bags. One sport/running one I got for £3 from aldi was terrible, but another is alot better/ more breathable. So cheap ones can be okish or bad, bit of a gamble. After something better for fell running atm or maybe i'll go for a vest...

New battery spec: https://www.stihl.com/STIHL-power-tools-A-great-range/STIHL-Cordless-Power-Systems/PRO-Cordless-Power-System/Accessories-for-cordless-tools/288828-1553/AP-300-S.aspx more Wh same weight 5.5kg is abit of a fatty..... But is 2.1kw same power as a 40cc saw and similar weight? Makita just scrapped the toolness nonsense on there lecky saw only rated 1.1kw though for a the same saw weight, which seems odd as they have the expertise from drills etc.

Cutting Fallen trees from public footpaths?
Stere replied to chuck norris's topic in Trees and the Law
Many local footpaths are impassible 10ft hight bramble or blackthorn thickets etc You'd need a carry a chainsaw or machette to have a chance of getting through some sections and a thick skin to ignore the farmers abuse/threatening behaviours if you did try. Since there not council bugdet to maintain many just got overgrown & fenced off. -
Any pics?

Not noticed any signs of recovery they look alot worse than last yr. I reckon atm 20% healthy no signs 60% minor signs of dieback @ tips of branches 15% half dead. (Whole crown effected, only a very few leaves left on many) 5% dead.

The makita ea4300 is similar quality & spec to a ms241 I think ,though iv'e not owned a ms241. The instructor on my cs32 actually thought it was "better balanced" than the ms241 Also reckoned the fuel caps are a better design. The dolmar version is the PS-420 SC Iv'e used a ms181 and found its a very poor saw in comparison to the ea4300, as its low power means it cuts really slow/ bogs down in any bigger diameter timber.
