Only need to scare dry birch with a match to get a nice fire, a good size lump of oak on the other hand needs some encouragement to get away 🤔 If all the wood is dry it should just be a case of learning each woods burning caricatures to get the best out of it.

That looks like it only £2.50 now!

You will be amazed where a tracked grinder will get, a few bits of stock board or ply and you can get almost anywhere. I’ve seen a tracked grinder weighing bang on a ton leave less of a foot print than the person walking with the buttons.

Incorrect. You must offer the tree owner them back but if they refuse they are your problem

You want a pulley over rings. Something like a rope guide.

Are you not allowed in with out them?

While your there check the springs on the throttle/govnor linkages, I can’t remember which one but I had one stretch which caused hunting issues, not on a cs100 but the same vanguard engine

I find him funny but at the same time shows the problems agriculture is facing in a understandable way to the public who don’t have a clue. apparently there is going to be another series of Clark sons farm soon

Lots by the look of it 🥴

We used to run a splitter on a David brown 885, or the fastest but worked it no bother. draw oil from the trailer tip port and free flow return back to the port on the lhs near the camels hump, do not return in the oil filler as it needs the return oil in the correct port to lube the gearbox.

On the flip side is those of us that are rural workers on a low to modest income living in rented but high council tax old houses because it’s all that is available due to the down from London weekender lot. We mostly all missed out on the £400 council tax credit because our drafty uninsulated houses look big and smart (but it are not) from the outside

The terminators are good but physically demanding. They have there place for small stuff and poor access and for these there brilliant, like all small grinders you need to keep the teeth sharp.

That tree belongs to next door, it is a self set/suckered cherry, it may be a offspring of your old tree but it’s growing the other side of the fence so is their tree. Who owns your house is not of any importance to their tree! there is a chance that poisoning your stump could kill there tree if the root system is connected, this could be a good thing or could be damage to there property depending on opinion!

I wonder if this “crisis” will put an end to the Woodsure ready to burn nonsense? As folk will just turn to the cheapest supply rather than the best quality?

Do you mind if I ask what sort of cost are they selling at?

We see it here, unfortunately we have quite a high level of drink and drug drivers, many of which are tourists but push our insurance up as they were caught here

I would go as Rich said.

Why don’t you hang the rope bag on the other side of the grab so it comes with you?

It’s one thing I don’t miss, big hedges. edit: I don’t miss hedges end of

Another vote for good silky or small top handle in the hedge but a set of tripod ladders will be a good investment. The other thing to remember is no matter how much brash you think there will be the WILL be far more!

Ok, didn’t know that - all the sets I’ve had were adjustable, you normally have to take the top pads off, then there is 2 screws/Allen bolts that you remove and then can select a different set of holes. I always reckoned a good 2 fingers below the back of the knee.

I favour the Geckos with Velcro rop straps and leather bottom strap. Adjustment is a big part of comfort, have you played with the height of your existing ones?

A good point and a Fair reply 👍

I started as a “self employed” groundy, work dryed up so I picked up a job and brought in a subbie climber to cut while I cleared, this worked for a few jobs then I did my climbing tickets and brought in a cheaper self employed groundy. Within 18months I had my own chipper and it grew from there until for personal reasons we pulled the plug on the tree game and went back employed on a farm 12 years later. At which point we had a wide range of kit and could tackle 99% of the work that came out way. I think the biggest problem in the industry is the fact a saw can be brought with no proof of training. If you stop homeowners having a go with there BnQ chainsaw the industry we will be looked at in a higher regard, the same as a sparky or gas plumber is, people except they are not allowed to do it themselves and need to pay for pro help. Unfortunately we do not have a unified and coherent trade body to fight for us, I think the aa are just getting fat and lazy lining there own and the pockets of a few big contractors.

If there growing from within the ca they are in the ca end of story.
