20€ a tonne from the biomass lads, they like it dried out so the needles have dropped off, so I’ll have to speak to the farmer about leaving it stacked for a couple of months. How much does 1 tree weigh you reckon? 15” diameter at the base, straight up to 25metres I am thinking about 1 tonne per tree.

I have to price for the removal of around 55 Douglas alongside this football pitch. They can nearly all be felled into the adjoining field, some unassisted the rest easy enough with a winch. My question is (very approximately) how much can I can get for the wood? Most around 25 metres between 15” annd 24” diameter, all straight, but with lower spindly branches. Strictly speaking I’m not set up for this job, but it’s for a LA that rate me and you miss all the shots you don’t make. TIA Mick

Congrats Pete.

Widow to fight for change over husband's 'senseless' tree death BBC.COM Fiona Hall calls for regular safety inspections after husband Chris was killed by a falling branch. Just watched this on the news, unsure whether it’ll come to anything.

It’s very decent work. in 5 years time you’ll knock that off while the customer boils the kettle instead of whilst peace in the Middle East is negotiated! Good stuff anyway.

General consensus is that it’s Ai. Been knocking about on various platforms for a week or so.

Been a good week, dry and clear, made a few quid and nothing broke (man or machine) so much success! Wife is back in the UK visiting her parents, so me and Igor in conversation all evening, bit one sided tbh.

I think that last one is Ai. The dog just seems to walk through the tree.

Maybe some way of attracting more women (wives and girlfriends)

5.38 French time. I am an early bird anyway, no big deal.

@Muddy42 this it?

I often wondered how the pioneers cleared forests for agriculture.
