    dry them slowly away from direct heat and repalce moisture with linseed oil ,and it might work.i dont think there is an easy quick method ..it all takes time:thumbup:

    the spec is so that her garden gets some sun and she can go sunbathing in it.she is in her 60s so no great excitement there!!!yes i will be back to trim the hairy dog on a regular basis .the down side is that she is a good firewood customer so i will be loosing sales but gaining tree work..at this time of year it is a pain sweeping up all those leaves at the end of the job.the trees anre on ground belonging to a housing assosiation and all the houses have a part share in them ,some owners want them felled ,some want to retain them and the majority want a reduction,payment is divided amonst 23 houses.i just want to do the job in a truly professional manner and prolong the life of the trees and not shock them too much..now if they were beech i would be thinking logs logs and more logs:thumbup: thanks for all your inputs.jake:thumbup:

    is it tractor friendly site? its not the initial spray thats important but the follow up spraying to nail any regrowth,need a 2 year plan and keen eyes .jake

    all the insurance guff about extinguishing fires an hour before leaving the site or paying a night watchman might cause you bother. apart from that i think its still legal to burn on stump ,its only when you move brash to another location to burn things become more complex.jake:thumbup:

    the hy crack has a shear pin for overload protection unlike some of the cheaper ones on e bay,and as long as you keep the little wedge(under the cone( in place you are fairly safe,these machines are great for the older tractor with no or weak hydraulics and can split some pretty horrid wood with ease ,mind you if you do stall out you will need a chainsaw to cut the log out of the splitter.and change the nose cone regularly(55 quid or so).i have one on a 22 hp kubota and it flies
