  1. The reason I say this, is because I tried something similar when I first started. Absolute nightmare. [emoji106]
  2. You want that firewood? [emoji848]
  3. It's wind blown not windfall. The most dangerous trees there are. IF you've got your Forestry tractor and winch with trailer and crane paid off, And no other overheads at all. A large yard, processor and splitters, another forklift/tractor for moving the IBC's. Delivery vehicle. Volunteer staff. Etc etc etc. There's a massive difference between knocking out a few cube and a thousand cube. What kit will you use?
  4. No. Not unless it's 36" walnut. [emoji106]
  5. Bit of pippy poplar, cut with the logosol F2+ and the stihl ms661, came out nice [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  6. Artisan... In France.... Registered business/micro enterprise... Fully insured Two men and a loader... Chainsaws etc Social contributions... €600-€800 a day. And half of that will go to the government.
  7. Yeah, Rob D is the man. If anyone knows it'll be him. [emoji106]
  8. What species,size and quantity are you looking for?
  9. Great thread this [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  10. I'm hopefully getting one for milling. (From spuddog)[emoji12][emoji106]
  11. What kind of price do those sell for Les? (Not that I can afford one)
  12. I've got the logosol f2+ for square edge stuff. But I'm sure it'd be good for someone milling beams and planks [emoji106]
  13. Bit of crazy beech from spuddog[emoji106] [emoji106]
  14. That's nice mate [emoji106]
  15. A bargain for someone looking to get into milling. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  16. I've tried sunflower and veg oil neat and mixed 50/50 with bio oil and normal stuff. It's all fine up to about 16-20" bars. After that I get hot bars. Useless for milling with as it gets really hot and smokes. Not tried rapeseed oil. [emoji106]
  17. Why do you need line closure? I've done emergency rail work felling trees 2.5m from railside, on a live line. Whilst surrounded by rail HSE. If it's not over the fence? Just rig everything, very slowly.
  18. A grand maybe £1500-£2000 But north of 4K??? I can't honestly imagine who that's marketed at??? [emoji23][emoji106]
  19. Just realised it's brand new. Oil the bar before putting the chain on. [emoji106]
  20. It's a duromatic bar. If it's smoking, it's either too tightly tensioned, oiler not turned up, or it's blunt and you're forcing it. And that insert bit at the end will fall out. It's irrelevant. [emoji106]
  21. T72 chassis for a tracked chipper?
  22. Might need a charge controller to avoid overcharging. Only a few quid. Yiu can also get sealed units for outdoors. [emoji106]
  23. Used walkie talkie radios on a big site once. Couldn't hear it over a saw. Was time saving being able to call in a machine, as opposed to walking over and waving. Only reason we stopped using them was the batteries died within a few hours. Definitely useful in the correct circumstances. [emoji106]
