I was in the butcher's last week and a customer was in moaning that the prices had gone up. I wondered what world she'd been living in of late? I felt sorry for the fella at the counter having to try and justify it.

IronMike replied to Alec_Birkbeck's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Whereabouts in Northumberland are you? @MattyF could be the man perhaps. -

I lined up a wee bit of brash for @Gray gitto chip yesterday.

I hope this doesn’t go down like an undercooked piece of fish…….. But I’ve fairly recently discovered the recipe's by a man called Scott Baptie. Nearly every single one I’ve made has been delicious, and also proving a hit with the particularly fussy Mrs. Worth having a look if like me you get stuck in a rut with your food and cooking. Weve enjoyed his beef stifado tonight, very tasty even though I forgot the red wine 🤦🏼♂️

Low impact forestry services in Devon and the South West

Is your house the one in the second photo mate? 😉 -
"Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt" Great quote from a great film, but one I use often, especially when buying something secondhand 😂

I’ve no experience of it myself, but noticed this little set up when ordering off Chris Forestry yesterday…… https://www.chrisforestry.co.uk/store/Tree-Runner-Rigging-Bollard-P-500-Kit-p371965020

Looks like I stirred up a bit of a good discussion by reviving this thread! From a purely selfish view, I think it's fair to say I am safe using red diesel going forward. And in all honesty, I hardly use a drop compared to folks running big ol tractors etc. The Logbullet is a very frugal workhouse! However, I do feel very sorry for those who fall into the grey area. Especially when those in the knowledge at the sharp end of things, can see what's being done correctly and who are taking the piss. Shame it'll all be decided by some office bound bellend who has no clue what they're talking about....

My mum just picked up 3 X bottles of her favourite NZ white wine for £18 in Sainsburys. Usually about £12 a bottle! I've never been a red wine man, definitely prefer white, but like Matty does I reach for a nice IPA when the time is right! Currently working my way through a mixed bag of stuff from Brewdog.

I did think I was reading it wrong 😂

It's this bit I struggle to decifer..... Are they saying it's restricted to the following purposes,or are they making changes to restrict the following purposes?

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reform-of-red-diesel-entitlements/reform-of-red-diesel-and-other-rebated-fuels-entitlement many apologies for dragging this up again.... But this was revised on with November and now says farming and forestry are exempt?! Or am I reading this wrong?! (Every chance!)

Nice big Birch on a site today.

I thoroughly enjoyed driving home from Hexham to Richmond on the A68 in high winds and snow whilst towing the Logbullet in the dark with an immeasurable amount of total bellends driving so close to the back of my trailer they would have spotted the oil leak on the forwarder. Mother Hubbards, the lot of em!

I recently had a lad come and cut for me for 3 days, and he has a massive Instagram following of circa 14k. He was absolutely brilliant! Didn’t put a single tree down incorrectly, had sharp saws and plenty fuel. Was polite to customers and public alike. Turned up on time, in the place agreed and did a superb job. He was worth every penny he got paid and then some. No bullshit attitude or anything, just a top fella who has a hellish popular account. On Instagram as @choppa_tom

I spent a while fitting some mega light bars to my Logbullets. Then realised I don’t like working in the dark!
-
And the good Lord (John) said “let there be light! Especially once the clocks change!” 😂🤣😁

I find it’s easier to knock over a standing stem/pole with a large gob, less smacking and faffing wedges about. Used it loads in arb. In thinnings work my favoured felling cut is just the back cut!

The who can get most outraged at bad treework thread.
IronMike replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Picture Forum
I’ve no doubt it’ll survive, I just hate the fact I’ll have to drive passed it weekly and watch it turn into a giant cluster**************** that offends my eyes! -
I had a go with one of these recently, and I was very impressed. And I am a Husqvarna man through and through!

The Richmond tree massacre continues! -
I'm just there for extraction, the felling and processing is not my department! 😉

I'll get it in now, remember this and you'll go far.... Keep your stumps low! 😁
