Can confirm my 026 still on original drum bearing can't remember when I last greased it lol, used regularly in woodland maintenance/felling/firewood. Owned from new, has been a good saw, no issues whatsoever.

You need to get a chartered surveyor to look at this and advise.

Italian alder

Only the top two look to be doing anything presumably his is one of the lower ones.

Why not just ask him what he wants? Will save that disappointed look when what you get him isn't quite what he wanted.

Note to self get new calendar thought it was end of November not April 1st. Never heard such rot - pun intended!

Wood is 128 acres in old money. Its in North Bedfordshire, actually two woods but joined together. Yes we do manage it ourselves though others may disagree! Like you came to woodland mgt later in life. Just seen your comment ref Badger - similar experience with two youngsters on a beautiful summer evening weeks after buying the wood.

Very interesting and sounds so similar to our woodland (PAWS) with Americans donating huge amounts of concrete (Nearly 5 miles of the stuff) which as you say makes it great for getting around all year, was used for bomb storage and ammunition loading in Nissen type huts. Was originally oak predominately then clear felled after war replanted with Norway Spruce and Corsican Pine as nurse crop for Oak by FC. They then decided to spray off the oak as 'uneconomic', they have the grace to look embarrassed about it now. Wood passed through a couple of previous owners with some thinning being carried out but they took a lot of the 'king' trees out and we had some windblow in compartments as a result. We've owned it for the last 20 years and mainly light thinning with a mix of regen and hardwood planting. Little sign of Ash dieback yet. Dogs Mercury is prevalent and primroses and bluebells are prolific in the southern end of the wood. Have some big elm sadly suffering from DED but still lots left. Few patches of hazel and about 5 spindles which are just flowering. Will post some more when time permits and will follow the thread with interest.

+1 for the loggings and small offcuts use them regularly in the smaller stove burn so much better than bigger logs in it and yes they last really well

Thinking of getting one of these, where did you get the green skip from looks a useful addition? Like you I have some spruce to extract with no clear drop lines so I also bring them down sectionally.

Erbauer are excellent have used drill and impact driver for 4 years on property maintenance solidly built and powerful. Have recently swapped to Einhelll for bigger drill, cordless grinder and cordless chainsaw. Even better and excellent prices. We bought one of their petrol mowers which turned out to be damaged in the box collected and new replacement delivered no quibble. Both brands are excellent and professional not diy standard.

I stand corrected - how could I have forgotten Vesp! Just had awful visions of you stood there with a big hole in the side of someone's house and you getting sued! Would a winch on a vehicle not be enough? Never used one but would a tree jack help? Will look forward to how you do it in the end.

Concrete, mortar, bricks etc great under compression, really poor under tension which is what you will be putting brickwork under. Milk float ran into house locally a few years back and moved whole house on foundation. Got to be the most stupid idea that I've ever seen posted on here. YouTube is full of stupid ideas, one more coming up!

The supplier contracted with the courier to deliver goods they should obtain proof that goods were delivered to a safe place. Couriers often take a photo on phone to show they've attempted delivery or left it in a safe place. Ask for a photo or proof of delivery.

Probably need to look at alko website or contact them. They seem to use one shot nuts if you Google them.
