What RPM should a Husqvarna 555 RXT Strimmer be tuned to at full throttle?
Stere replied to Muddy42's topic in Landscaping
RXT is autotune so does it self adjust? -
No but know a person who does some they use a single ring kiln (8ft I think). I helped out a few times seems alot of manaul work "hand ballling" loading logs and unloading the kiln and dusty bagging up. Think it could be made more efficent by be mechanizing abit? Trommel or some such for screening rather than manual sieving the fines & a branch logger straight into kiln maybe etc? NCF do the paper bags. Theres acres of overstood hazel coppice about that could be make into charcoal but maybe the sums don't add up to make if worth while?

Yeah seems like it Now makitas stopped making petrol engines they might go back to stihl or husky I suppose?

How many yrs growth is that? How about leaving them a few more yrs to get some chunkier logs then coppice the lot? From the photo thinning looks alot of hassle thus abit impratical in that thicket? Some thinning might be easier done once the area has being coppiced as they start to regen during the first fews yrs of the the next coppice cycle? Branch logger seems like a good idea.

Environmental impact of woodburning
Stere replied to Smurnov's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Wood burning might be sustainable but a chainsaws and machinery to get the firewood aren't? As relies on on fossil fuels? But im no sure alot of high tech stuff that suppose to replace fossil fuels is that sustainable either....due to the need to extract so many mined resources. I class sustanable a somthing that could go on idefinetly for 1000yrs of yrs without depleting some limited resource that isn't virtually infinite like trees. Horse logging and hand felling trees with axes maybe are? As for pollution particle scrubbers? Long term wood burning likely isn't the best way to heat houses as all houses would be eventaully be " passive house" if people are really serious about being suitanable.... so could use other heating sources.... -
Alot of more obscure forage food was only ate if there was a famine Elderflower champange is nice though, ad elderberries make nice jam also Richard Mabey Food for free is a nice reference book bit of a classic.

Maybe it wasn't as good a job as claimed by the installers.... Norway & Sweden have adopted the technology did they make a mistake ?

There are 3 USA forums that seem fairly busy.

That depends on if they also install a good lvl of insulation plus underfloor heating etc that works at lower temps plus on future gas & electric prices? Think problem isn't the technology its poor workmanship or having the regulation in place so they are done to a decent minimum standard. Other EU goverements seem to be investing more than the UK in eco stuff https://www.cbi.org.uk/media/rdkjcb4u/green-growth_supplementary-release_jan-2023_final.pdf

For a all rounder 50cc with 15in bar. But if limited to one saw only a 60cc with 18 in will cover more stuff. Think you need 2 saws - handy if you get the bar trapped to have spare one with you or if one stops working, and hazel to large trees is a big range. What saw do you use atm?
