  4. Countryfile fans rant about ‘Tree Killing’ segment UKDAILY.NEWS I understands the concept but it seems crazy imo..... Grey squirrels & storms damage trees enough already id think?

    New saw help

    A mains corded saw for firewood at home is good. Cheap to buy and cheap to run less noise & no fumes V petrol lasts for decades versus batteries that evetually degrade esp if crosscutting firwood alot as that would use up batteries rapidily thus alot of recharge cycles. I have a small battery saw never bother using it for firewood much apart from branches 3inch or less as the chain is smaller pitch thus less grabby Use petrol for the bigger diameter logs as faster.
  16. Euc frost resistance varies widely between species i think. Alder is another coppice possibily Osage orange would be a interesting one to grow and wood is suppose to be useful Maclura pomifera - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Imo a 53cm deck needs a decent engine esp if grass is long wet etc many mowers seem to have have engines abit to weak for the width of deck...
