    Today is the day after 20 odd years of service the 020T is replaced 😢 But she’s coming with me of course
  2. Nice dry day for bringing some wood in with the old girl ?
  3. Ha just looked at this on a PC see what you mean 😄 My iPad turns the photo round for me !
  4. Ha I wish South Wiltshire not quite Spain but we had Spanish weather today had to put the shades on A real surprise day when we've had 2" of rain here already this year !!!
  5. Hi did you look at other devices as well ? I'm in the same boat always climbed on prussik and don't know which one to go for ?? But I'm not a regular climber few time a month so I've always stuck with what I know 🤔
  6. Not ideal but most of our woods are fairly flat so I get away with 2WD most of the time ! it's a case of picking you routes carefully.I was surprised today backing up to the cord pile how well she went we are on very quick draining chalk and flint but when there is a bit more money about I will be buying a forestry type 4 WD tractor 😉
  7. Managed a few load with the 4 grand

    Storage

    I have mine stored in 3 different places so if one place gets broken into I still have others to keep the work going 👍
  9. Had a demo on a splitter doing this I bought it 😉
  10. Hi are you still using the timberline ? As you say it's not cheap and wondered how your getting on with it a year down the line
  11. Near Salisbury wilts I've spyed your outfit before on here looks like the perfect thing for my needs
  12. Hi all first post please be gentle! I have approximately 1100 ton of wood to thin and shift to farm roadside it's from two blocks of woodland planted in 1981 and 1990 all mixed hardwood with a very small amount of softs they have never been managed properly so access is tight.we have various tractors/JCB/slew etc but all to big to fit in and around wood so what's the best way to do this?? There is a path through the middle. In terms of machinery investment there is another block of wood on the farm (about the same amount) that can be done in maybe 5 years time so said winches/trailers will be well used. We intend to do this ourself during the 4 months of the year when we are not to busy on the farm.I myself spent 2 years on forestry work and then a year climbing back in the early 2000 but this was working for someone else. But now on the farm full time but looking for a bit more winter work we sell a few logs each year from wind blown and own a jappa so will process a bit for logs and the rest of the cord sell roadside. Thanks in advance.
