You need a new camera amigo.

 

Horrible looking mess of a tree.

Just snapped the pics with the phone camera, didnt have my "proper" camera on me today! someone else had recommended bracing this tree, the base is shot to bits!

[Peter]

By bracing did they mean guying?

 

 

Nice chipper btw, is that what a Jo Beau turns into when it grows up?

 

Also, are you chipping into a trailer, how does that work out for you, and is it an Atlas?

 

cheers

Chipper is Schliesing 105, not a patch on the 200/220 range (hired in) traier is Ifor Williams tipper, and yes it all works well. Chip stayed on site, timber staying on site, where it is, the groundstaff will be moving it and doing the raking to keep the costs down, so we get to go and bang down some more trees tomorrow.

We filled the trailer 3 times with chip, so quite a busy day.

I have run a wire from the battery of the landrover to a socket at the back, which plugs into the ifor battery. Tip as many times as i want.

I have one similar to this mounted on the landy, very corrosion resistant as they come with rubber gromits and a sprung loaded cap for when not in use. The last one on the old landy lasted 5 years.
