It would need probably three or four trips with an estate car, and every piece would need to be cross cut to go in the car. Many pieces are eight feet long but many are twelve. Plenty of bark but also plenty of timber. And yes mixed species. I cut about 70% hardwoods, but each bundle will vary.

Morning all, Sorry to hear about your FIL Pete. Six weeks is hardly time to adjust to the diagnosis, let alone come to the end. Shaving conifers today that I would leave as they are if they were mine. Customer happy to pay though.

U just an end user or are trying to push it into sales ?

Caz's father died in the night, diagnosed with cancer 6 weeks back. I got a demo to do in Mablethorpe then taking the day off. The Telegraph celebrates 100 years of the crossword. Won, Nun, Dread

Good morning Arbtalkers 😊 Have a great day....

Good Morning Hump-Day and July almost done. Have a good one.

The Blank of England 🙂

Yet letting 'em out before they have served half their sentence coz we are " full up "

Morning all . Still summers here in West Sussex . Have a good one .

Morning campers! Day 2 of a 3 of a leylandii hedge removal. Annoyingly the Schliesing has developed an overheating issue. So it’s the TW230 today, not ideal but not the end of the world either, as the “thick” end got done yesterday.

If you join Geocache you can search for ones nearby. There may not be any tree top ones near to you but they are quite common. I found one or two when I first started climbing - containers tied into tree (often trees in recreational grounds/council owned land) with a pen / paper inside to identify self and see who else has found. At the top of one plane tree (approx) 60ft , there were about 30 names of people who had discovered. Ideally in recreational grounds choose trees away from paths .If possible do early mornings when less people. Hoist rope into tree and leave coiled on branch so that you are hidden and take as little gear as possible to reduce risks - ie no silky hanging off harness. Heres a guy on youtube finding one The Geocache website is Geocaching WWW.GEOCACHING.COM Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where you use a GPS to hide and seek containers with other participants in the activity. Geocaching.com is the listing service for geocaches...

I believe the UK to just as complicated but with the added burden of shite weather and eyewatering house prices...

France sounds fun.

That most certainly isn't an option.

I've just had a horrible flashback to the time I bought an Atlas tipper trailer in 2012 which despite the instance of the dealer, didn't in fact conform. What followed was 9 months or more of visiting to the DREAL also known as the 'MINE' by some French. We had to assemble a dossier of every CofC for each component of the running gear. I eventually asked if they wanted a CofC for the air in the tyres. Now a trailer is simple enough but your machine doesn't conform in other ways other than merely running gear so avoid the DREAL route is my advice.

Yes would be free. It comes in bundles around 3m long and 1.2m diameter

To add... The registration process is done online via ANTS. Accueil Immatriculation - Immatriculation - France Titres (ANTS) IMMATRICULATION.ANTS.GOUV.FR Other than your usual i.d and proof of residency, you need to upload your CofC for the machine. Very simple process. One thought, perhaps GM could supply a chassis which conforms...?

Hello, I've imported several chippers into France and helped several of my French colleagues do the same. I've sadly no idea (post Brexit) on how to obtain a phytosanitaire certificate as this was something that was of no concern beforehand or even if it concerns road tow machines. I suspect tracked chippers, tractors, diggers and other earth moving machinery are obvious candidates. Just to throw another obstacle into the mix, your machine does not confirm to E.U norms and most likely cannot be made too either. Neither can a used non-conforming machine be (legally) sold in France. Less important if it's for your own use but important if anyone else is using it as one important modification was increasing the length of the infeed chute to reduce the risk of 'foot feeders' losing an appendage. Some manufacturers have made kits with which to upgrade machines but only the more recent higher volume models. Regardless, I have a colleague who against my advice bought a UK chipper which was pre CofC and found he couldn't register it as a result. He had a custom chassis made costing around €4k, still cheaper than buying the same machine used in France. Where are you setting up in France? Regards Stuart

Hello, I need advice here. I have a birch tree in my front yard. I was thinking about removing this birch tree that is about 40 years old. I plan on having an arborist look at it soon. It is about 15 feet away from my foundation. I believe it is right above a main sewer line in my basement. Are there any risks to getting this removed? I worry about a sinkhole as well? Anything I should be cautious about?
