I think... about 500mm dbh. was that one bigger? lombardy's always have big buttress roots. I'm hoping to flop them and stick them straight through the chipper

that tree was about 80-90' and 1300mm x 75mm at a foot off the floor,was an odd shape stump if you know what i mean

Do you not mean 750 mm? Otherwise it's 4 foot wide by 3 inches thick - that would be an odd shape!

on the stock of chain, we ran out of a reel of 3/8ths and noone mentioned it so by the time we ordered it in we had no spare chain, i ran a 357 with a split tie strap throughout its life, think its still going strong.

Hey Rolla if you get stuck give me a bell Lol ;o) Onto my last week of work tomorrow; waiting to hear on 500mtrs of deer fencing though not that i really want it !

Steve, was it sycamore on the truck? Jockie good to hear you're on the mend, hope the legal eagles get you sorted out, there's enough cr*p to deal with in life without having those added hassles. Ishould think that if the blades dont comply with Construction and Use regs you should be on fairly safe ground, but I aint no expert.

 

[SteveBullman]

yep it was big A, nice stuff too!

 

[Thor's Hammer]

poplar any good for you steve?

 

[SteveBullman]

fraid not thor.....i only sell hardwood.
i am thinking about getting into the kindling market though if i could fine a regular outlet for it.

 

[Thor's Hammer]
