@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…

@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!

Spiked boots for walking on cordwood stack when sheeting over.?
Donnie replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
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. -

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 -
Who needs a skidder?

Anything I can buy for my brushcutter to mulch piles like this into something smaller for a new customer?

Psp. I’ve a Scottish whatsapp group for forestry and tree surgeon malarky. I can send the link on pm. They post shifts there too

Aye it’s a bit of a twat but broke up the day between fills. Climbed over the fence and got stuck in it. Took half the thing down with me
-
By 9am I may as well have been in the river I’m that bad… After how long should I be used to the work?

Field side of the deer fence over halfway done in a day on my own. 5 fills of the 461. Thick in bits, not so much in others. The white van is where I started in the morning and was on site for maybe 6 hours or so and was taking it rather casual. Lemme know what you guys think, how many fills etc should I be doing a day/how many metres. I know a lot of variables but it’s good to know.

Used the 461 with a 200mm blade cutting regen today and it was quick as anything. Just demolishing it all, even cut through fence wire and still continued to cut… Sharpening the blade with a 325 file but not sure if it is the right size. Was using a 250mm guard with a 200mm blade. Would not recommend, can hear it hitting the guard. Will remove the guard I think as it seems to get in the way when fighting through little Sitka branches. @Stubby

Fail in that. I could knock a stump vice into the wood and just use that.

Got this old worktop, quite a few of them actually. But this ones scrap as it’s got a hole in it from a sink anyways… Was thinking of mounting it to the tailgate and mounting a vice on it for sharpening chainsaws and filing rakers etc whenever I’m near the motor which isn’t very often just thought it’d be handier than bent over a stump… Chalk mark on tailgate is where that worktop would fit when cut. Any other suggestions or photos would be grand
-
Picked this up for nothing. Anybody got any suggestions for 11.5mm wire? and straps etc. I’ve shackels etc.

It takes a real cutter to know how to do that
-
Windy. Rate my stump Hardest Sitka I’ve cut in a long time pushing a dull chain to finish the tree is never fun. Cuts going all roads
-
I’ve no time for driving about the country, cutting and then sharpening at home. I sharpen in the wood on company time 😂
-
Tried Vallorbe. Oregon. Husky. They’ve too much metal almost like a step in the cutter that you need to file away.
-
Bloody expensive on reels though for sure
