Chris forestry has a good range: Timber Movement WWW.CHRISFORESTRY.CO.UK Timber movement, from tractor tongs to hand tongs. Wood picks, sappies and cant hooks

I just run them over with the mower. Any decent fallers can be saved for eating /cider etc but won't store well. For picking don't picK all at once just the ripe ones... To reach higher apples a jap tripod ladder. For storage I use old bread trays in a rat proof shed but you can get special apple racks. Temp has to be right for best storing need a cooler damper pantry ideally as modern houses are to warm and dry to store fruit.

If you cut whole area down the just constantly mowed low the whole area like a lawn would that not work? Its a method that works well on other things that sucker. Not sure about bamboo though as its giant grass monocots V the others being dicots?

Little fact sheet a uni made on "nutteries" some good info on grafting and polination squirrels etc etc http://www.calu.bangor.ac.uk/Technical leaflets/050402Cobnutsandwalnuts.pdf

Maybe the tree was pushed over with jcb etc and was upright when gob was cut?

Seen several similar rate my hinge " nul points" oddities by farmers some large adb hedgerow ones. Maybe the gob lower down isn't a felling gob but was an attempt to see/get at the wire that blunted the chain?

Turkey produces loads of hazel nuts for export so think they might be decent? Maybe there are different cultivars etc? Hazelnut production in Turkey - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Makita ea4300 was cheaper but being discontinued

Mirco tree? i'd change the wording on that bit incase they think you only prune bonsai trees?

Being using this mannol scooter oil from ebay as was cheap and high spec ratings : API TC+ and JASO FD etc 7805 Scooter 2-Takt Premium API TC+ SCT.AUTODEVEL.COM No in stock anywhere atm but still have alot left.

How about one of thoose BCS 2 wheel tractor if its just a few acres?

What surprises me is when on some ocassions iv'e mentioned it and some people haven't noticed half the large ash trees are dead/dying down there road etc. Some people aren't very observant or don't pay much attention to the enviroment arounds them I guess....

Yeah have jays atm going "om nom" on an large orchard in a garden setting thats right outside the front of a house but the owner doesn't go into the garden often to disturb them. Jays are very shy birds & always & fly away sqawking when you approach. Have had a plague of blackbirds on the currants & raspberries & home this year alot more than previous yrs.... So im unsure about the crital mass theory as they are totally stripping the lot bare (dozen large red currant bushes plus blackcurrants gooseberries and raspberries) - unless they are netted. Maybe the extra food source is just increasing the blackbird numbers unsure about how there populations & territories work etc? Originally they only used to eat the red currants and leave the other fruit. I think that they have maybe taught the next generations to start eating the other berry types they did not eat previously? Seems to be aprox 15- 20 blackbirds at once. Unlike jays they are brazenly "cheeky" and will carry on eating right in front of you.

Anyone on here have a go with the prototype 4 stroke (or 4-mix?) dolmar 500v? http://www.chainsawcollectors.se/phpbb3/download/file.php?style=34&id=11713&t=1&sid=69c3dc43452058a8cf4d9588bbb514f7 Must be very rare?

If advertised as free firewood on facebook. Bet someone with a B&Q special and a wheelbarrow would turn up and loop a few branches of it, with price of gas etc atm. 😏

Selling eggs. EDIT would make more sense if front of house.....

Yeah its a quality if now old design. Ive had the makita version of the same saw for well over a decade now and must of cross cut 100m3's of wood up for firewood with it over the yrs. Its had a few new sets of carbon brushes as its not a brushless motor, and a few other bits bur still going well. Doubt there any newer corded ones around that are the same quality. Stihl do a range but not for sale in the UK & are expensive for the bigger ones. Only change in design I can see is new ones have thoose tooless covers which i don't like.

Shavey on here might have one think he collects dolmars

A Daily Telegraph reading neigbour means I have an abundance of "free" paper thats burns well. As less people get newspapers theese days others might not have such a supply to hand.

Sounds like you are gonna rent 15 extra and manage 5 acres yourself? The intended use of the 5 (livestock etc?) and what condition the hedges are in now will govern the ongoing management & equipment required / methods & if its better getting some contractors? Have the hedges being left to grow wild for decades atm or have they being managed & trimmed anually?

Not sure about the blue plastic bits in the roof? Lathes are steam bent?

Can anyone explain/expand on that graph data how it translates into the saws performance etc? Cuts cookies alot faster I assume?

If there is a row of stumps its handy as you can winch one off the others but its best to have left them higher for that.
