Anyone use pick up trucks for small/medium tree and hedge jobs?
TheTreeWrangler replied to Lou Brown's topic in Arb-Trucks
We use trucks .. we tend to chip into bags for the most, we find that it saves a bit of time, and we also deliver chips by the bag load.. small jobs id take my truck with chipper, chip to the bag, load the bags in the truck.. big jobs second truck with trailer, can chip to trailer or bags .. we have never had a problem so far.. dont get me wrong, a tipper, is the standard and were looking at picking up the right one at some stage, but having trucks is workable .. -
And when they were working no ,quicker than a 1 pot .

Utter shite. I work hard, make good coin, and look after people as best I can. "I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin' bushwackin', hornswagglin' cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter".

Don’t leave anything (machinery) on the trailer. Put the chipper in the container. Get a lock on the hitch of the chipper. Maybe even a chain around the chassis of the chipper locked to the floor. Don’t get complacent, they’re like foxes round a chicken coop, get sloppy and within days it’s gone.

Hi all .. so have had my lad working with me, he is turning 18 very soon and nearly finished his Alevels , he is still doing his driving atm, he has been real asset working with us, he works hard and knows his stuff, been great having him with us tbh, all of this is good and he has said he'd like to work full time for me, im never going to say no, and would rather pay my son and keep it in the family .. .. It would be useful to be able to send my son out on small jobs / clearance / pick up waste, logs / deliver logs , chips and such.. the long and short is, I need him driving, and ideal world a little truck, not a tipper or anything big, just enough to deliver logs/chips , carry some tools / strimmer , mower, take some green waste, run a few errands, go to some small gardening jobs ... Think the problem we are going to have is getting him insured, ? I have started looking at these little 650cc trucks , like the Suzuki carry trucks , tiny things but look kinda quirky and prob enough for him atm .. but most of these are jap imports and the insurance dont like it.. bigger trucks I doubt he would get insured .. Wondering if there are any youngsters out there who went through this, or what did you do with your Sons, or when you started out ? lol was a bit different when I was younger lol.. .

I've got two 300S batteries for my Stihl 220 backhandle and don't run out on big dismantles. You can always charge. Have that and the smaller battery breadknife too (Stihl 120). Actually used that outside of the house for the first time the other day. Is a sweet little thing.

100% correct and pretty much my view. Strange how when you point out the anatomy of a white tail is pretty much the same as any of our native species it’s apparently a sign I know nothing of deer control 🤷♂️🤔. I’m not sure if I was confronted by any actual facts neither, just someone boasting about long range shots and cloverleaf groups when running home loads, nothing factual at all in reality. Next time I’m out I’ll stick to the safe option and leave the head/ear shots for those who apparently have the shooting prowess required. Wrong thread as well, those who want to boast about their shooting should maybe pop over to “ show us your guns”. Very surprised the site auditor hasn’t jumped in on the latter point, seeing as he’s watching my posts and timings and has a history of accusing people of “ diverting a thread “ could it be there’s some double standards on here 😂very much dependant on your political views.

Stihl MS261 and MS460. Both saws got clogged up and I had to flush out the tanks, lines and bar oil pumps inside the saws. I had done this before, so its not through lack of maintenance. Its the pretty standard ISO 100 stuff. I admit its a bit odd, they have been fine since I thinned out the bar oil.

Good Morning Everyone.

The 1 at the front, same machine model just 1 year newer but smoother on the tracks and hydraulics.

I would have said that it depends on the "waste". Ex FIL got trailer loads from one mill and it was off cuts and bark etc which was stored outside so was very wet. He didn't get the argument that he should have been paid to take that crap away! I got a bench to go on his old Fergie, got the thing working and collected long lengths from Belvoir sawmill and spent a while slicing these off, good exercise and I could put crap into a barrow and put it on the burn heap rather than log shed. It was too much effort for him and I wasn't there that much so we went back to the crap logs! The stuff was sold as "sawmill waste", not as "firewood" as this has to be below a certain moisture content to be sold!

What’s your budget? -
Hi there, I have a Lime tree that was topped maybe 20 or so years ago. My question is can it be thinned out, leaving most of the tree there or should it be cut back to the knuckle? Thanks, G

Can anyone recommend a manual tyre changing tool for small tyres?
Macpherson replied to Muddy42's topic in Maintenance help
Or if you were really stuck you could do this, but proper tyre lube makes it easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWd5vwUeYno -

Pezzolato PTH 700 biomass wood chipper PTH 700 is one of the medium power Pezzolato machines. The design of the conical hopper (without bottlenecks that tend to trap the material), combined with a catenary system able to move the material directly to the drum, allows feeding of bulk material. The large fan mounted directly on the drum shaft is able to work at a low speed to help reduce dust and increase wood chip quality. Each standard installation includes a single axis trailer which provides compactness and increases agility and manoeuvrability in tight spaces. The wear parts of all machines are cost effective and simple to replace in short maintenance times. The drum with cutting system interchangeable where required, makes these chippers ideal for the production of wood chips used with domestic boilers, large power plants or gasifiers. The integrated computer suggests any ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operations to be performed according to the manufacturer’s maintenance. Diesel engine power: 200/149 - 413/308hp/kW Max chipping diameter soft wood: 500mm / 19.69'' Max chipping diameter hard wood: 640 x 600mm / 25.20 x 23.62'' Knives: 3 Hourly throughput: until 80m³/h Drum diameter: 660mm / 25.98'' Drum width: 640 mm / 25.20'' Hooked steel feeding conveyor width: 640mm / 25.20'' Hooked steel feeding conveyor length: 2200mm / 7' 2.61'' Weight: 8,200kg / 18,078lbs£98,000

Alright all. I'm pretty new to carving, over the past few years I've done a handful of pieces mainly just because I like doing it. I've never really tried to sell my work but I would like to start. I've not invested loads of money in it, still just playing with a stock bar and die grinder with a couple of different burrs but it'd be nice to recover some of my fuel costs if poss. My question is, those of you who do sell your work, how and where do you do it? Is it better to carve up things in advance on the hope people might buy them or do you mainly get commissions? I've stuck on some photos to give you an idea of where I'm at with it. Thanks in advance. WhatsApp Vidéo 2025-09-01 à 13.29.23_6efc7c2a.mp4
