So that is the question Chestnut posts when being used for agricultural fencing, do they need to be peeled? What's people's experiences? Does it increase lifespan?

Going rate for a cord of chestnut
MooresFT replied to Acer Forestry's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
when was it cut/ blown? needs to be wintercut for rails / posts. not sure of cord price but £40 a ton is about right i think.. -
I use a ms181, good little saw, cheap parts and loves to be abused. Pretty much perfect for hedging.

Well worth doing for the subsidies available on the land. Not that happy, but they gave written permission for it to happen so there isnt much they can do about it.

Right hard to get pictures of the site as it rolls away. Its steep and steeper, you wouldnt want to go in there in a 2wd tractor. That said all the timber was hauled out, and the forestry guys drove all over the site in diggers and their harvestors. Mike (the land owner) has got Perry forestry coming to look on monday, as mentiioned by a few before i think a tracked mulcher would be the best, hes looking for a 'quick' (if there is such a thing) fix so he can get some grass in before it stops growing. all the brash has been burnt up so its just lines of stumps, 14inch + basically. Digging them out isnt really an option as there is another field below and the ground is steep enough that the stumps would be rolling all over the place! Im up there tomorrow fencing so i will get some pictures as best i can!

Is that the cheaper option? I guess I thought with the grinder it's a single pass operation, which on steep ground has to preferable? Also if some deeper roots are left it's going to hold everything together till the grass gets hold? Any ideas on differences in price? Anyone brave enough to put a rough price on it?

Full age larch stumps, everything's 14inch plus

It's just going to be rough grazing, but as said 21acres is going to create ALOT of stumps to burn! The farmer wants to grind/mulch them, if possible. The ground will never be cultivated, just broadcast seeded. Thanks for the ideas guys.

We are in somerset, and ground is relatively steep and is going back to rough grazing

So a farm i am doing alot of work on has 21 acres of larch stumps he wants rid of..... whats the best bet? thankyou!
