How soon after transplanting could a mature ish hawthorn be laid? Say 75mm diameter at shin height.

As the full force is not often needed anyone else tempted to try a new spool could fit a regenerative one . This increases the flow by diverting the output on the rod side to the piston side. If more force is required at a knot the flow from the rod side is diverted back to tank and the full force is applied to the piston side. It does nothing for the return speed though. I am doddery enough to appreciate safety features and generally in no hurry.

Quick 2 min phone call to them, 'whats happened to my order when am I getting it' would answer your questions and probably push it theough it it hasn't been sent out.

With practice I can cut grass neatly with a massive cc engine. For small areas you can use half revs but its not great for the engine long term. Try thinner string. With the bump head, try having the bump bit rubbing on the ground as a guide, but not too hard so more string comes out.

Looking at it id go in tripple , maybe quadruple the price, the job i looked at that was a pound a whip was easy, soft ,clear no roots ground and no coming back either . I did a job once like yours in staffs, (timberhonger) going was shite ,3inch of peat then the rest was a mix of quartz and roots .. the stumps weren't cleared off site and the aim was to plant 1500 whips a day ! Wasn't doable . Have you got much else on in the was of work . To be fair the trust that asked me to do the planting showed me other quotes not named , for 2 row hedgerow with natural clumping and a zig zag pattern, random clusters of trees 350m, was 2k and 3k respectively .guarded ,staked and no stock replacement either Not worth ****************ing around with

Morning all, My usual Friday off. Bit of office work then maybe go for a walk with wife. Dog can’t go far so she will stay home while we are mindful of ice - hips get weaker with age. Safer up a tree.

Cold or warm we always turn up, good kit, good guys, good attitude and get it done!👍

Sorry about this, but I seem to have developed C.S.P.S.

Got a couple of days in milling scots pine with a view to getting a drying shed up, very pleased with the mill

There's a facebook group called forst issues and faults with a lot of memebers if you need further advice

Evening all, I'm looking at a change in occupation, though I'm currently employed the desk job is killing me and I crave the outdoors. I've been busying myself on my work holidays undertaking my CS30/31/38 - but not 39 yet (there's some logistical complications having done my initial 30/31 actually as the ICC1/2 course rather than with lantra before I found out the 2 similar course providers though practically identical aren't recognised by each other....). In my spare time I've really enjoyed and been climbing, pruning and felling for friends and neighbours (mostly farmers who are happy to get odd jobs done for free/for wood). 2026 brings another 6-8 weeks of holidays and I'll happily take them early on getting some experience helping out a local firm preferably around Cumbria. So if any one wants a free groundsman, or climber with his own kit for a few weeks here or there, in return I can get some experience of what doing tree work for a living looks like rather than for fun before I finally take the plunge and make the switch full time please get in touch.

After somebody, could be a groundsman or a climber to assist with tree work in and around the Minehead area. Part time up to a couple days a week. If you interested please get in contact.

Available to climb for you next Wednesday. Message me for further details.

Anyone got an Evoque or other Land-rover product that has suspension position sensors? The missus' Evoque had a new wishbone fitted and the drop link to the sensor was bust. I got a new sensor but the drop link seems to be in need of adjustment (cheap kin imported shite) but the fixing the the wishbone is lost! Does it just press fit over a stud or is there a bush or just a bolt? What size thread in to the wishbone? M5, M6, M8?

Hello All, Has anyone used or have any views on site doc for the arb industry? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I was spied on by Xi. This is China's end game for the UK APPLE.NEWS We need to establish red lines to defend our nation against threats to its security 🤷‍♂️ Interesting article. Don’t read too much into the Shrug, Talking of China when are you guys heading off on your save the world climate trip, get them Chinese and Indians told @sime42

A nearby farmer purchased a teleporter and had the bag lifter for sale, they used to have a drill or spreader mounted on the lifter, I looked at it and thought it was ideal to mount my winch, it worked out really well, the lifter will extend another meter and a half and I have a set of tongs to fit on the end, or I can run the winch cable through a pulley attached to the lifter in place of the hook and use it like a skidder, it has proved itself a very versatile combination.

I see the children responded, so will post again on topic.

Rob to the rescue again! The man’s knowledge of bar/chain/sprocket combos is unmatched. He has come a long way from the fresh-faced youth I met at an arb show a couple of decades ago! Hope you’re well mate!

I think it’s as soon as possible from what he said. I know nothing of this subject, but he’s told me it’s 63m and needs 4 binders on each run? If you could let me know an idea on price I can pass that on. The location is Lugwardine near Hereford. Thanks.

Had the Echo Pole Pruner something like a PT2400 a few years ago with the extra 1.5m (?) extension - huge reach but a bit unwieldy. Machine is long gone but I still have the extension in our unit somewhere if anyone would be interested at £75.00 ?

Boneless shoulder (on offer in Asda), dauphinoise potatoes and beans from mothers garden! Nice....
