Picture doesn't show trailer with half a load on to try and keep back wheels near the ground. Run them at 40psi and they are 12ply construction tyres you know it now if you hit a pot hole.

One from last week when I actually climbed [emoji23] we were following tasks set by the councils consultant to open up space around a pretty cool and ganrly old oak. Coronet cuts used for when it dies off. Cedar was carried out a few weeks back by the lads.

Recent shenanigans.

Work has been 90% storm damage jobs in the last 10 weeks.  Awkward one today, wind damaged Ash locked into a broken Beech, L V close by.  Took the tops off with  the Cherry Picker, then winched both stems over together.

61m3 of chip from 100 leylandii bordering a college on council land to be done during half term.

I tried arranging for my client, a council, to get this done for free by a bio-mass company but the trees would have needed to remain stacked until May or June to dry out before chipping.

As this is a pressing development, new skatepark, this was not possible.

So the parks dept asked if I could quote and even kindly told me how much the competition had quoted some years before which made life easier though my own calculations came in lower anyway.

I've subbed the stumps out to a man with a Bandit SG 74 so I'm spared 5 days behind the bars of my B20...

Whilst I'm here, a question for the wise and experienced of this parish.

How long would these leylandii stumps, large medium and small take for a 74hp grinder?

I'm prepping them all, or rather my new fat groundy is, quick scratch around to make sure there are no stones, all cut low.
