At 9.26 there's a shot of the track behind the digger... Not to mention the ferns with exposed roots around the front of the tracks... Definitely not been put there. [emoji848] -
If you only cut 15" logs it won't be a problem. I run 18" on my 261. If it starts to bog regularly, try changing the depth gauges to 0.5mm. It will cut slightly slower, but won't put as much stress on the components. Keep your chains sharp at all times. That will be the biggest difference. [emoji106]

Obviously [emoji848] It's well seasoned poplar, about a ton... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji12][emoji106]

I've got 12' x 3.5' x3" amazing oak, air drying. Should be ready spring time. Or try@agrimog on here. [emoji106] -
To be honest the stihl yard hook is a bit short. It's about 48" ish. Could do with something longer really. [emoji106]

Don't think my diesel transit would like that... [emoji12][emoji106]

I've got a stihl yard cant hook. It's way better than a 4' felling bar. [emoji106]

A Common Sense approach to Training?
Rough Hewn replied to The avantgardener's topic in Training & education
That's quoting from the original post. Yes you are absolutely correct about hours on saws. But who would pay £2k+ for 8 weeks of cs31? [emoji51] -
Hello mate, I've got the kit. Give me a call. 07376803384 Saul [emoji106]

They all taste like chicken to me. As stubby says, it's a bit dry. I like it with chopped bacon to add a bit of fat. [emoji106]

Measuring/estimating a winches power/capability
Rough Hewn replied to drinksloe's topic in Large equipment
Have you ever seen a 10mm cable,30m long, snap? Can you speak with the previous owner about the original capability? -
Depends on what you sell. I have a hard time trying to explain qs to woodworkers. They mostly want 3' wide with two live edges. If the crack is horizontal at both ends I'd mill it full size. If it's got a twisted crack, I'd not bother milling it, as even with qs you end up with a lot of firewood. Or mill it and fill it with resin. [emoji106]

Mark, I'm going to have to bring you some better wood. [emoji106]

No dig gardening is fine unless you have knotweed, bindweed etc. In Brittany, they plough the clay soil after grass, and scratch it after the arable crops.

I've been on the ground for a long time. Yes you can earn a living but it's a very physical job. I'd recommend phoning every tree surgeon and forester in a 30 mile radius and offer yourself as a volunteer for a day. You get a taste of the job, and if you can get a day with a few different firms you get an idea about the teamwork involved. If you're still keen after a month or two of brash dragging and log humping, then get your tickets. Best of luck [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

It's another scam. That's business. [emoji848][emoji107] I stipulate that I get paid at the end of the job, before I leave site. I do domestic and commercial. Unless we have had prior working experience and an arrangement, that's my terms. Non negotiable. Some jobs with several staff and machines, which go over 1 week, I stipulate staged payments so I can afford to pay staff etc. However the milling business is different, quite happy to drop off a grands worth of timber and wait 30 days for payment, as most of my clients are small scale woodworkers.
