No, that's a new name to me.

If you are looking for it in standing/ felled trees you knock a small area of bark off around chest height and shade the area and you can see the ripple. A lot of the old roadside trees will show in the bark where a diamond has been cut out of the bark, checked for ripple then the bark replaced, this was from the export market was strong for veneer trees and French and German buyers used to seek permission from landowners to check for ripple with a view to buying them. Often you can find ripple in a tree on one side, and sometimes at different heights, so ripple could be showing at say 3foot, but not at 5 foot.

Felledwood transport/timber deliver into that area. Rob Quinton would be your contact. -
I am an old fashioned bugger and was dead against autotune etc, After owning a few i don't experience any more problems with them than standard . It wouldn't put me off buying a particular saw if the power/weight matched what i was looking for.

First time i have seen one like that.Scribes were common place when i first started , before the use of tree paint became common. Tree measurements and i.d numbers were scribed into the end grain, butt end, i wonder if these were designed to make scribing circular numbers easier ? Would make sense.

Wasn't the second stage of pto land drive ? I seem to think even the 35s at some stage had it on . -
Dithering over which little old tractor
ESS replied to Mr. Ed's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
4000 with a mounted igland 3000 double drum was the first tractor i owned in forestry when i got asked to do some thinnings work on local estates. Set of wheel chains on and it was quite surprising where it could get.It cost bugger all to run apart from the odd battery and filters. It was very different to what i was used to having previously worked on D4s on big timber ,but it got me going on my own. I payed £1400 for the outfit back then, which seemed a small fortune at the time. Good fallers around that time were earning £100-150 a week felling big timber on piece. -
Wallers at Hevingham would probably be worth a call.
-
If you can put a few loads together Vastern Timber would be worth a call. Otherwise English Woodlands.

Both beet and milk are produced on quota . Its not a question of the beet factory refusing to take the whole crop, however they are under no obligation to take any produce above the contracted tonnage from a farmer. Excess sugar beet ends up as fodder beet . The same applies to milk, excess milk is usually fed to young stock. Milk from cows that have been given antibiotics etc has to be witheld, as does milk from newly calven cows , so at certain times of the year its quite possible that milk has to go to waste. but in both cases the costings would be based on the level of quota rather than the level produced.

Is any of it better than firewood ? Would it do a 3m+ sawlog? I know a guy in the southwest buying for export.

To cut an upside gob you would need to cut higher. Cutting for timber, particularly hardwood, the bottom cut of the gob needs to be level as close to the ground as possible, we always had to scrape around the base of the tree to gain the extra inches. Even in arb i can never see the logic in felling a tree then cutting the stump off, how that saves time is beyond me. Bat willows are cut without a gob.

When i started back in the 70s everything was run off 2* fuel. We used to mix with engine oil and no problems. From memory i think things changed with the introduction of unleaded fuels .
