  1. 14” is the most i’d put on that saw.
  2. Plenty here https://arbtalk.co.uk/recycling?nearby=20&lat=51.5901769&lon=-0.0173437&category=0&country=0&state=0&specialization=
  3. Going against such things that would have their own private security in place would require having some guts. Blocking school mums and pensioners whilst a police force that effectively have their hands tied behind their backs is a much easier and safer target
  4. Thanks for posting. Gustharts have always had a good rep on here!
  5. Antiques!
  6. Bought this over a year ago but it’s only in the last few days Maddy has become interested. now reading it for about the 100th time today…..damm you @Island Lescure 😂
  7. Aspen, the original alkylate petrol pioneers, are returning to SALTEX this November with their range of alkylate fuels for two and four-stroke engines and an initiative not to be missed. Visitors to stand M055 can learn how Aspen enhances engine performance and reduces the negative impact on both the operator and environment with a chance to then trial it for themselves - and get their money back if they change their minds! Founded in 1988, Aspen has long been improving the operating environment for landscapers, arborists and groundcare professionals. Alkylate petrol is formed from the gasses which are produced when refining oil. The alkylation process involves tuning those excess gases into a liquid alkylate, before combining them with some additional components to create a finished fuel which is significantly purer than traditional petrol. Content of harmful and hazardous hydrocarbons and polyaromatics (PAH) is close to zero with Aspen, reducing Benzene emissions by up to 108 times! The cleaner burn achieved with Aspen also helps to maintain engine performance, reliability and preserve the life of engine components that can be susceptible to clogging or failure when running on conventional pump fuel; especially if equipment has been left in storage for any significant period of time. Those wishing to experience the Aspen difference for themselves can now try the fuel, risk-free, with a new money back guarantee launching at SALTEX 2022. Subject to a bulk purchase, operators can use Aspen in their own working environments with the confidence that, if they don’t notice the significant improvements to sustainable working practices, they can return the unused fuel. “People may think that all petrol is the same, but when people give Aspen a go, they quickly see the benefits it can bring to all aspects of the task at hand” comments Business Development Manager Axel Hildebrand. “The reduction in toxic fumes and the elimination of the ‘blue haze’ is particularly beneficial for those operators using hand tools or working in confined spaces, and we’re confident that as soon as operators give Aspen a try, they won’t look back.”
  8. This is literally how I envisage you 2 at the moment
  9. Crocky also seems to be getting good reviews lately…I just dont know him so I mentioned spud
  10. Never sampled the food but yes, that’s all I heard complained about. The lack of the woodland demo area changed the entire dynamics of the show.
  11. I feel we’ve solved multiple real world issues with this thread
  12. There’s your answer, you just need to become a traffic police officer
  13. I took a hang of New England fly to my local chandlers many years back, splice was fine but needed rewhipping. I enquired in the main office if it was something the lads could handle as it was an unusual splice. The guy replied along the lines of ‘my guys are familiar with every splice’. Well they clearly weren’t when it came to it, there was 3 of them gathered round it full of intrigue 😀
  14. Surely you must be inundated with chandlery's down there? I've had ropes spliced at such places before now.
  15. When it comes to rigging trees there isn’t much that isn’t covered by common sense. Even the best maths brain would be lost in the trees without it
  16. Crikey. Not that cold here yet. Lovely sunny day here and 7 degrees. Managed to not put the heating on yet but it’s a daily fight with the other half 😀
  17. Most likely. If he's expecting something like dead standing elm to take as well as some kiln dried Ash then it would explain a lot.
  18. Moorland Treescapes can definitely say they have experienced the ‘GreenMech evolution’, with the delivery of an EVO 165D the latest in a sizeable list of different models Owner Simon Stockton has used over the years! Sitting proudly on his fleet alongside a QuadChip 160P, both woodchippers are busy on a daily basis, making light work of a heavy schedule for the small family-run team. Simon established Moorland Treescapes almost 20 years ago, and for most of that time he has turned to GreenMech to supply chippers to suit his broad range of domestic and commercial tree works. “As our workload adapts, what we need from our woodchipper fleet changes. This means that over the years we’ve had three QuadChip’s, a 19-28 SAFE-Trak, ArbTrak 200 and then more recently, a tracked machine from the GreenMech EVO series” explains Simon. “With each machine you notice little tweaks to the design and functionality but with the EVO, it was like a whole new machine!” Due to a reduction in embankment working, Simon has recently switched from a tracked EVO 165DT-45LE to the road tow EVO 165D. “This is proving to be a brilliant piece of kit for us. Improvements have been made to simple things like the manual override control which means that the infeed will continue to pull material through and not leave you standing in and amongst brashy or thorny material. All of the basic service points are accessible and centralised greasing makes that process really quick and easy. On top of those practical things, I think the EVO’s just look great too!” With the EVO 165D tackling a lot of commercial work around Staffordshire and Derbyshire, including large-scale projects on behalf of BT, the QuadChip 160P is bringing its own benefits to the day-to-day domestic jobs. “The QuadChip with the rotatable turntable is great for jobs on the kerbside. The ability to turn the chipper to be able to feed material from the pavement is brilliant for operator safety and means we don’t have members of our team working in the road.” “In addition, we have always had fantastic service from GreenMech and our local dealer Global Sales because the nature of this industry means that things do inevitably go wrong. In my book it’s not the problems that matter, it’s how a company resolves them and Global have always been brilliant in helping us when they arise.” Simon concludes, “As there is only four of us, having equipment that does a good job and is backed up with brilliant support is like having an extra member of the team!”
  19. put some pics up
