Flat, sides will make it harder if you ever want to parbuckle timber up them.
-
Do they cope with dry seasoned timber or just green?
-
Make sure you get one with all 3 legs adjustable, with out that they are a waste of time. Not sure which make they are but the ones northern arb supplys do are good. I’ve worked off the 12ft one and it’s as stable as you could wish for. I wouldn’t want to go back to 4 legs.

Are they as good as the staged youtube videos would try and make you believe? seems a lot to ask to just shear off a lump of 6inch + timber
-
I’ve always thought they look like a handy bit of kit. @Rugrats3What sort of money is a AM-160TR-K or a AM-200TR-K?

@gobbypunk was looking for sequoia a while ago. nice looking boards 👍
-
Have a look here, covers most of what you will want to know.

I spotted one in bud today, no leaf yet but nice fat green buds.

However you tackle it I reckon your bum hole will be doing the 5p 50p thing 🤣 Find some one local with an explosives licence to blow out the high side! Would make good watching

Plenty of air flow will be key, get it cut, stacked and a board over the top to keep the worst of the rain off. Some rain won’t hurt it but a month of driving rain it can go backwards. Get it under proper cover before the weather turns (early sept ish here) but keep as much air flow as possible. p.s nice to see more folk not being scared of soft wood, it doesn’t bite, just get it dry.

As some of us have been having a childish day: There was two fish in a tank and one said to the other “Do you know how to drive this thing?”

I wonder if he will be driving through a Paris tunnel any time soon? 🤔

Quick and efficient, and a tiny bit dangerous

No worse than any other splitter, it will just have your finger off quicker than some - there is no point prolonging the pain! Edit: probably safer than a screw splitter -
My missis would like the table cloth 🤣 I reckon the bond car parts list is quite a rare item now 😎

We do have a bit of a micro climate down here, we regularly climb 40’+ bays!

No wants to work in the race to the bottom. employed or self employed that doesn’t change. Poor money for poor work seems to be the reputation.

An old boy once told me: You need to trap 2 rats in a live trap (preferably one will be a big bugger) and leave them with no food or water until one kills and eats the other, then release this (big) rat. Once it’s turned cannibal it won’t go back to normal food and will soon turn the whole group cannibal. At which point they solve the problem for you. ive not tried it so can’t comment but I could see his logic and he was quite adamant it works.

Depends on site, down here on mostly clay Bay does better growth rates 90% of the time in the first few years.
-
Just a bit of tube and suck like a Essex girl, low tech doesn’t go wrong
-
I would go the same as mark. Enough room to cut n chick onto the lawn. A couple of sheets of board, get the brash down and followed by the wood onto the brash mat. Makes harder work of clearing up but better than a failed tree.
-
Not easy, the cable is like a bungee, to remove the head you would need to strip the head and tie the cable on so it doesn’t disappear back to the handle.

I’ve used the Stihl battery extending one. Far better than it’s petrol equivalent. My only complaint is the shaft got pulled apart once from to much hook action.

With out jodhpurs got my attention, replacing them with dresses almost lost my attention again 🧐
