"Either, or.." - traditionally it would be re-pollarded, cutting above the 'knuckles', but if you go for a thinning out of the regrowth stems I'd stick to approx. 30%, i.e. one in every three(ish) but remember in so doing they will continue to grow in height & diameter. If tree size is an issue, and you don't want to re-pollard, i.e. to original knuckles, you could reduce the regrowth stems in height and start again, in effect, at a higher level, i.e. a high pollard...but this seems a lot of faff for little gain tbh. Good luck whichever way you go...and of course you don't need to go "any way" as you could leave it to grow on / up (unlike Poplars, Limes don;t have a propensity to fail at the knuckles.)

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.

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!

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
