    I am so broke in this day n age, I’ve resorted to recycling my sweetcorn

    Will be an utter pain in the arse and I do easily 20K in my van every year if not more. I live in a rural part of Scotland where everything is a drive. We are already taxed to the maximum in this country. Yet another way of punishing rural people in the favor of city slickers. Don’t even get me started on the dropping the percentage of alcohol either as that is just a step too far in my opinion. If I’ve read up on that right… it is to avoid tax.

    I have had the same with 5 Series saws. A lot of the time I’d hold the throttle wide open and pull the cord to restart them if they are being iffy. With a brushcutter might be a bit of a pain.

    Just buy the 461. It’s plenty light and powerful! Wouldn’t bother buying anything Husky. I am fully converted now 😂

    I’ve the 22 ton one and it’s grand. 3ft beech at 12-14 inches long. Absolutely no problem.

    I’m 2m tall easy and using the 461 Stihl long shanked version and it’d be suitable for someone a lot taller than that as well!

    Hahahaha. I bought a new one!

    A beech tree needing logged up and taken care of. A hell of a lot better than harvesting site work, maybe I’m seeing the light… Thanks again @Doug Tait IMG_5530.mov

    Another load of soggy dead pine and a hung up ash taken out. First time using a tirfor. Sheered one 1ft pine max at the stump into about 6 pieces with the winch… Deader than dead. IMG_5548.mov IMG_5554.mov

    Like I said… @peds @Stere

    Another new saw

    I’d ring and split it depending on how far you are away from me. 😀

    Work for and alongside people that have been at the same harvesting company as I am, self employed never been employed for over 25 years and never really been questioned.

    It’s in the wood. I doubt they will be that keen on that idea. But that’s what I’d do..
  15. Donnie
    Aye. I just bought off of Chris cos I was buying hundreds of stuff and this was the cheapest one so thought I’d give it a go. Trust me it won’t be long until I snap it nothing is safe

    @Brushcutter Branches and pile has been sat a while. Say 2-3 inches. What blade if any will shred this kind of pile? It’s my first real job and the family I’m doing it for are really nice and I’d like to do all I can to make there woodland how they like it in the most economical way possible so any advice here would be grand. Hitting it with a chainsaw just doesn’t seem worthwhile…
  18. Donnie
    @Mark Bolam this one is 800mm long which is only just enough for me. Next one I buy will be the 1100mm one. Bigger is better…

    Customer at a woodland I’m fixing up is wanting these holes filled, is it a cement job or what could you do that would look appealing? The woodland ground is 6 inches below the top stone of the dyke. Cheers.

    Chris Forestry’s cheapest. I’ve pulled all that up a vertical banking and some on the flat. It’s the Panzeri branded one, he used to do a small 1kg hatchet which I bought and used to pound wedges on edge trees with until it broke. Took a proper hammering!

    Back on topic from severing scrotums and the removal of foreskin. Could try fishing wader spikes and screw them into a pair of boots. I did that but they fell out on the brash matt over time.
  22. Donnie
    I nearly circumsized myself! And that was standing up right, but I guess that’s something you tree surgeons wouldn’t know a thing about
  23. Donnie
    God send.
  24. Donnie
    Who needs a skidder?
  25. Donnie
    Anything I can buy for my brushcutter to mulch piles like this into something smaller for a new customer?
