Finished dismantling this Lime near home yesterday. Customer wanted it down to make way for photovoltaic panels. Trunk is 5ft form the house wall. Appeared healthy enough. Had previously been topped off where trunk was about 16 - 18 inch diameter and had grown 15ft shoots since then. Cavity went to below ground and to about 18ft above. Customer was please they had it down!

Thanks Will, they’d be just the ticket.

 

Any advice on drilling/bolting to a light rsj?

Ideally I’d want to just pick it up with the grab rather than fannying around making a different headstock for it and swapping attachments.

Most of them are.a single bolt for each pair of tines. Some use a coach bolt some a normal bolt but with a special cap (washer with sides kinda thingy)

Hedge removal.

We are eschewing grinding after we found out we could do this.

Wouldn't be the first Facebook ad for "established hedge for sale, buyer collects"

You got a little rake for the quad mate? Should be fairly cheap to fabricate a tined rake you can grab with the klou

Straight through the chipper, roots et all

One of the most satisfying attachments for a loader is a rake every time I use mine on the vermeer it makes me smile 😃
