PS Next year when we have some orphan lambs... |
Nope. Not near my trees (the land is a couple of miles away - too far to be committed to frequent checks. And if you tell Jenna you have baby lambs to cuddle, you can board her until midsummer!). I know what you mean about chainsaws, but having coppiced one four or five year old stool with a handsaw, I think I need power. It took me all afternoon! And there will be all that firewood too...
I don't think loppers will do - I'm hoping for firewood sized logs from the coppice (eventually) and there are several big trees which need to come down first, too.
I have hired brush cutters in the past, and I don't remember it being a problem height wise. I remember I couldn't wear the gloves, as they would have fit on my feet!
I had noticed that stihl was expensive, and wondered if they were worth it (I don't mind paying if you get your money's worth)
I don't really drink tea, and I will only have school hours to work in, so it won't be long sessions anyway. I do store my caravan on site, though! |
