  2. Malmö Nothing to see here... VID_20230905_085313_372.mp4
  3. Anyone going to this? Only just been told about it. Seems very unadvertised like.
  4. Based on assumed 2x2m planting matrix you'd have 2500 per hectare and therefore 1011 pwr acre. Next question would be whether the first thin was a rack (or wrack?!) in 7 or more if sloping? Just say it was; leaves 867 trees x 0.25 = 216 ish stand volume.
  5. Form height x dbh is enough. From your dbh I'd say they are very drawn at 25m height. 0.2m³ each, maybe 0.3. Relascopes, clinometers, basal area, tarrifing, yeild class yada yada. None has ever matched upto eyeballing it on experience.
  6. Acre is tiny. You could count rows x trees per row x average volume of tree. I'm guessing from height and age max 30cm dbh, more like 20cm...?
  7. Holy 💩, do they drive down there?! 😱
  8. Am I correct in thinking before I have a sit down and read, that a Stihl light bar will be the lightest '063 guage bar of 30" length to fit a larger Stihl ie 461/661 etc etc. Chainsawbars website shows some weights but not all. With thanks.
  9. This bit here: "petrol engine at maximum torque is more efficient then a naturally aspirated diesel, except most diesels are now boosted by a turbo and the common rail injection means they burn their fuel much higher up the stroke so they become more efficient" Is completely wrong. No petrol or constant volume cylinder cycle is more efficient than a diesel constant pressure cycle. You are right that often maximum torque is where maximum efficiency is, but not in a engine with restricted inlet. Modern diesels have swirl flaps - stupid. Modern petrols have no throttle, so the wide open flow is more similar. "Burn their fuel much higher up the stroke" would actually be LESS efficient in any cylinder. It is a factor of fuel lag that means that SI flame is over and done with long before the piston is much down the cylinder i.e. constant volume. The slow burn of oil means the combustion is still propagating with the piston halfway down the bore or more hence constant pressure. Never the twain shall meet. To try and make a CI engine complete it's burn asap after tdc would really make into something other than a diesel. Turbocharging and fuel injection type has absolutely nothing to do with cylinder burn time. High injection pressures are about improving mixing* (which reduces lag) combined with DI vs IDI.
  10. 'Big cat' roaming British countryside snapped in 'clearest ever' photograph - Devon Live WWW.DEVONLIVE.COM The photo was found in was discovered in the files of a zoology organisation
  11. 13t a bit big for house civils. Good luck finding a 2'6" bucket at the moment 🤣
  12. Harvesting costs plus standing price should be equal to or less than the RS value. Given the very small volume you're talking about a normal mechanised number crunch doesn't apply. Is it driveable ground or are you into winching as well?
  13. Hawthorne.
  14. Same - Gloucestershire. Mad. Just ridiculous.
  15. 4-16" I'd say. Palax C1000.
  16. Something very very wrong with the weather surely? Hasn't really been right for 15+ years but this July was something else. Constant rain and darkness.
  17. I am the biggest EV sceptic out there. But that's not my point here. Just stumbled upon this. What y'all think? https://youtu.be/-876kuUmnLQ
  18. Forward. The eye. The ear. Bleddy weird side profile else.
  19. The weather can only be described as "Total Freaking Sh1t". For July it's worse than winter.
  20. Top of the pile IMO would be FaoFar - with Cranab Crane. Also in the top makes would be Farmi, Kesla, Guerra, Kronos, FMV (long gone). In the middle would be Palms, Mowi / Moheda. Best budget machine would be Farma - but can't cope with the rigours of Flat Out Forestry. Botex (and their dealer) are absolute shite. Anyone who promotes them must be in the same Lodge and feature in APF photoshoots 🤣.
  21. I'll just finish my Big Mac then I'll read this 🙄
  22. Quite. Says all you need to know.
