hi adam i don't know you or the full details of your situation but i do know it's not an easy move, i have back problems myself and at points have thought id have to look for another profession. moving into relaxed part time work could be something to think about, i currently work at an estate and once i've finished the first run at all the trees theres not a whole lot for me to do but enough to keep me busy working at a relaxed pace. if i'm not felling up to it they understand and are just happy to have a professional working for them. from reading your post i get the felling your used to doing difficult trees at a fast pace a job like mine would be a dodle for you i imagine. it's a hard thing just to stop and look for something else. might make the change a bit easier if you keept on with a bit of tree work while trying other things.

thinking i'm going to go for the husqie, have an 880 at the place i work do a lot of milling with it and you have to clean the air filter half way through a cut because it gets blocked up with saw dust it seems to have lost a lot of its power since new and we've only had it 6 month carb prob blocked. hopefully the 3120's a bit better
-
i'm sure this has been asked before. my only experience is with the 880 great saw no complaints apart from vibration, just wondering how does the 3120 hold up?. be interested to here any reviews. cheers

you might want to go a bit cheaper if your selling green. considering that they can be used green £20-£25 per sleeper seems about right

once dry

i think maybe £25-£35 per ft3

dug out 5 large elm stumps recently, one of them was about 4.5' across when we cut it to ground level, others 3' plus. took about 1 day per stump
-
the husqie best for climbing light with thin profile if your looking for a ground saw check out the echo range it'll save you some £ and there very good saws
-
you can have my groundie for a 5er he's always knackered, don't think there's any fixing him though

i'll put some up this week
-
just stacking the first load of elm in the kiln this week should be done in about 10 weeks. looking to sell the first load no idea what the market is like as have never sold wood around this area before. boards are 2" thick and between 10" to 2' wide. is there anyone in the area who would be interested in this kind of thing when it's ready?. trying to justify purchase of another kiln as will only be able to put 40 to 50 cube through at a time and we have a lot to get through. thanks

put together a logosol kiln recently, used the insulation they specify in the instructions to build the box. one thing I noticed was that it was very easy to compressed. the box I've put together is wider and longer than the one in the instructions so used 75mm boards instead of 50mm. planning to put a very heavy load of elm through it what i'm thinking is the bricks holding the bearers might compress into the floor of the kiln this would make it uneven and cause warping. does anyone have experience with this kind of setup? should I put a solid base on the floor to support the weight of the load and if so what should I use? any advice much appreciated
