Hi all, I’m well on with getting 26t split n bagged into barrow bags. My intention is to stick the bags in the bottom field once I’ve extended the driveway down that far. I’ll be hardcore mot with chipping on. When I get round to moving them I’m not sure what’ll be best. I’m thinking a second hand forklift but I’m not sure how well the work on hardcore. Anyone any advice of the best kit. I could always just use the big car with a trailer on but that’s a lot of loading unloading and my back ain’t the best tbh. And if I do end up selling them I’ll need to load the trailer easier too. But then I ..read more

The wind blew over a big old pine tree I had. If I could stand it back up I would because it isn't dead. Anyway, it is leaning on a tree I want to keep. I was doing some research on how to take this tree down and it was saying to cut a notch in the top and then cut a line from underneath.  Does that match your experience?  It is about 15" diameter, if I were to guess.  Eventually I'll burn it in my log burner ..read more
