It worked! Nice looking wood mate. Have you got a chainsaw? [emoji106]

There's an old sci fi short story... Scientist builds a time machine and goes forward in time 200 years. Exiting his machine he expects to see the glittering future. But it's all falling apart. Everyone is wearing the same old worn out clothes. No one will stop and listen to him, everyone is too busy. Turns out everyone is trying to save up to get put into the computer games for life. Reality is just for the maintenance crews. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

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]

Better driving conditions than Yorkshire then. With your lovely soft hedges... We've got stone walls, V bends, and more nutter drivers than central London. Having to do a five point turn in the middle of a junction just to turn left. And I've only got a Lwb transit tipper. [emoji12][emoji106]

There was masses of railways and stations across Devon. Would cost a fortune to reinstate, but what an effect it could have... Steam engines would be nice... Wood fired obviously. [emoji12][emoji106]

This is the sad truth. [emoji51]

I've got 12' x 3.5' x3" amazing oak, air drying. Should be ready spring time. Or try@agrimog on here. [emoji106] -
It's a balance thing. Yes a decent infrastructure is needed. (I grew up and went to school on the edge of Dartmoor). However, having witnessed the car crash mentality of humans towards large cash rich development. Look at the a30 bypass round Oakhampton. Destroyed vast tracts of sssi and national park. Went massively over budget. And when it was finished, all the local businesses went tits up because all the tourists bypassed the town. I sympathise greatly with your dilemma J. There is no easy answer. Next time you're sitting somewhere stuck, take a moment to remember you're not on the m25/central London/some other shothole. Devon and Dartmoor are absolutely fantastic places to live and raise kids. Shot roads are the price you pay. I'm seriously thinking of moving back. [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]

Why am I paying road tax on my chainsaw fuel?... Can I have the tax I've already paid back please?... Show me ten people who run a car on alkylate petrol (pre mixed with 2stroke oil)?.... I could go on............ [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]

"Lack of expertise within training". [emoji51] -
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]

What would you coppice chestnut with? An 880? [emoji12][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?
