Been hauling home firewood with my tractor and I have been unloading it with a forwarder so here are some pics!

Tales from the wild wood

Hey Jim, did you get to see this series on BBC? It was 6 parts of a guy managing 50 acres of woodland - really well done...he was logging by hand and selling to furniture (specialists) manufacturers...plus charcoal..etc

[Wee Jim]

Pictures were taken last week!

The dog is called Rosie because I am Jim! So we are Rosie and Jim!

no jack I didn't see that in the beeb but I will have a look for it on I player and youtube!

Pretty neat operation and good size logs too! Does that harvester cut them all to length to?

Ok so being the temporary "safety officer" here while Stock is "out to lunch" ,I feel I have to point out the danger of carting round logs without Dogs{not your little four legged one} to prevent the load coming crashing down while tying/untying the load .We don't want you under the logs Jim now do we .

The logs are unloaded by the machine in the pics though so I am safely sitting in a cab!

Thanks for posting the pictures by the way Jim .But what I actually said was, Quote >"I feel I have to point out the danger of carting round logs without Dogs{not your little four legged one} to prevent the load coming crashing down while tying/untying the load".ie, standing beside the load whilst lashing it down to the trailer .
Sorry to sound like Stock ,but it has happened before.

Ah sorry my fault for not reading properly!


Thats a good point! We are looking at getting another trailer and having it more more like a proper wood trailer so we can get more in! I think we will be getting a low loader trailer so we it can shift machinery and carry wood etc
