Post on the woodland management section of arbtalk.co.uk forums and then come back. You'll get some very well informed answers. But at a guess I'd say the short answer is you'll lose money if its all planted on banks and it needs hand felling and winching to extract.

Due to stopping breeding pigs after 42 years we have available: 32 Galvanised floating side rail farrowing crates for sale. 22 rear entry with full width troughs. 8 others with split food/water troughs and 2 side openers with split troughs. Will be thoroughly washed and disinfected before they...

Doesn't work without the pincode and the GPS geofence will tell you if it goes walkabout unwillingly and track it down from an app on your phone!

We have a husqy 450x on our caravan park, running almost at its maximum area until we see how well it copes. Sam turner's did the wire install and it's been spot on. The grass looks amazing and saves us an absolute fortune in man hours each year even though we ran a 7ft cut ransomes parkway...

We've got a set of AMJ discs coming from @Guy this week hopefully. So no direct experience yet but if they work as they should they'll be excellent value for money.

Has anybody had any dealings with this company recently? Are they trustworthy enough to pay in full in advance? Looking at a set of 2.7m short discs from them but its hard to convince ourselves to pay it all then wait maybe a fortnight for it to arrive!

You need to contact this lad. He's got the gear to sort it out in a morning! https://instagram.com/lgpeddie?igshid=11vv3pbf0td5f

We have pigs on slats and straw, we get less fighting, tailbiting, illness and ultimately death in the slatted sheds than we do in the straw pens. The slatted finrone flat decks we have for weaners almost completely eliminated our antibiotic use from day 1 unlike when we had them in straw. I...

Full waterproofs and a hat but you'll stink of sweat instead after!!

I do believe it needs to be a separate Compartment. Woodheads were happy to take our sheep and pigs on the same wagon and I think we take some for our own use to the abatoir in one run but with a separator door in.

Dc2 engineering. Richards the boss. Dan does the services and is great at his job. Really knows his stuff.

Ideally. Tree shear it down with an excavator or chainsaw it etc but then pile it up (neatly if possible) let it dry out and then you can just pull up next to the pile and run the lot through a chipper.

Expect to pay £120-150 an hour for a trailed large crane fed chipper on a 200hp+ tractor. In virgin timber you’re talking 20- 25t an hour. Maybe 15-20 in hedgerow clearance. We’ve used one a few times for just that and it feeds into our chip boiler just fine. Thorn burns beautifully in it! Leave...

Don’t see the issue. Firstly if he doesn’t want you on it over winter he should pay for it 12 months. And secondly Our heavily sheep grazed overwintered land always yields the best first cut as long as there’s some fert in there once the weathers right. He sounds like one of our local big...

We’re only a 200 sow indoor unit but it’d take little effort to remove the sow crates and change the partitions for weaners. And certainly less effort to dig out the other shed for a slurry pit as planned and stick weaners in instead of fitting out for more sow crates. We finish 120ish (only...
