but in the current way of thinking,, shouldn't you let it decide for itself?

Hi all, I've decided that it's time to call time on my farming career. I've done 10 years, mainly in livestock, predominantly sheep, across different systems, culminating on the (wife's) family farm. But, for various reasons (money vs. hours, family politics etc) I've decided that enough is enough. The question is, what do I do next? Qualifications wise, I've a degree in Agriculture, Conservation and Environmental Management and a rough terrain forklift ticket. At the minute, I'm leaning towards arboriculture- I'm 33 now, so still got a bit of time to get qualifications and experience up. I'm not worried by the weather or hard work and would much rather be active than not. With basic qualifications (CS30&31) what are my realistic chances of employment/earnings? I'd be looking to add CS38,39&40 down the line. Are there other tickets that would increase my chance of employment? I'm South Oxfordshire based. Any advice welcome!

No mate, people tend to use more than is needed which creates more problems as it builds up in the gate mechanism and binds with water/sap. DMM recommend duck oil.

Auger bit, obviously. A helical bit will just use up all your battery warming the wood around the hole. Experience of drilling railway sleepers says be careful against hitting tough wood like buried branch stubs, I nearly broke my wrist when the drill kept rotating but the bit stopped dead. Ideally you need the hole to be not much bigger than the bolt, so keeping the hole straight is crucial. Quite a big ask over 2 feet. Can be awkward up a tree with sometimes no way of pushing on the drill. Use a bit with a small threaded pilot tip they really drag the bit into the wood.

I wouldn't say a 62 year old building was a "new build", privacy has been as it currently is for that time, either it hasn't been a problem for previous owners or they have been prevented by doing as you are inquiring ie; planting a tree to improve your privacy. personally I would make inroads with neighbors as to any problems they may have experienced with the local council or indeed each other, try not to give information as to your tree planting intentions. explore your councils website too, they can differ dependent on areas in regulations and how they implement them. good luck.

I haven't known one bounce back from the description you give.

Just acquired roughly 5 acres of land of which 0.5 acres in mowed but undulating lawn. The rest is very scrubby, again undulating but no major slopes with areas prone to getting wet. I'm planning to maintain the lawn for family use but preserve as much of the wild areas as possible by mowing paths into the scrub to enable us to walk the area. I have a maximum budget of £5k to get what I need to manage it myself and I've done a lot of research online but looking for some experienced advice and reviews to guide me. Thought I'd narrowed it down to a Grillo Climber 7.15 brushcutter but then read about issues related to poor quality generally with cost of spares extortionate. Any recommendations very welcome, thanks in advance.

A rip off, but with a swivelling chute which the greenmech misses.. Would you mind sending a couple of pictures of how it attaches? Also curious of how much of a clone it is to the greenmech, as in would it mount the same

The medical is no big deal, I have had to do one every year since I reached 65 to retain my HGV, only expense is the medical itself which is £60-£100, the license gets renewed FOC. Bob

Hi, thanks for the enquiry we will have a look and see, but it’s doubtful we have any parts for the BP1, as it’s a rare model! But will have a look for you and get back to you. Thank you again!

Never been asked for tickets to hire a chipper, just money. Agree with the above. I'd add depending on access to the hedge and what you're doing with the chip will tell you whether tracked or wheeled would suit better.

I'd love to be able to tell you I don't have a tab open for pink workshop overalls but here we find ourselves.

You changing that for a new model already? Or going back to running one machine across sites? looks a great deal for someone in the arb trader 👍🏻

You’re maybe alright because you’re mixing it yourself. Given it was multiple issues with spark plugs I think their mix is just a bit rich. Could have been a batch or an age issue, I don’t know. I mentioned it to the guy in the husky shop (not my usual) and he just seemed bamboozled. The owner of my usual husky dealer said they thought the husky fuel was shit and that’s why they stock aspen instead 😅

Had a day on my old kubota today forwarding timber out that we cut a few months back, not the driest of woodlands but still traveling well at half 5 on last load, bit rough in places so slowly slowly wins the race and it wernt a short haul either any where between 500 & 600yds ,

Auto steer warning, but @Oldfeller pretty much described the political version of heading towards the end of a cliff.

That might be tricky - if homeowner has an accident at the saw mill place of work, it might count as industrial accident... HSE piles in asking for risk assessments, suitable PPE, supervision, training... many places if they realise don't want that responsibility. Same as collecting wood from a yard, might struggle to convince someone to use a saw there for oversized wood
