Not difficult, but not cheap. Google onboard weighing. The system uses load cells to measure the weight and gives you a digital readout in the cab. Fairly common on newer hgv tippers.

Try Mozza (Liam) Pm me if you want his number. -
You don't need a reason to remove a tree in a CA.

Temporary fencing would probably be the TO's preferred solution. Why not contact them and see what they say? Only downside for you I can see is that they might suggest fencing permanently rather than felling the tree.

Is it an ART or a homemade? Pic would help.

Take your prop to a specialist machine shop and they should be able to lengthen it for you. I had one shortened and rebalanced for my 18 tonner, cost about £70. That prop is about 100mm diameter, I imagine yours is a bit smaller!

Go the whole hog and make it a 150 then! Big tool box and bigger chip box!

One of the firms I sub to is buying a 22 metre trailed niftylift that weighs 3.2 tonnes and has clip on electric motors for moving it around, so it is possible. Don't have any other info on it sadly.

A deadeye tied with a cow hitch is pretty much as quick as a whoopie sling. I would not use a loopie to attach a block personally, don't trust them in critical applications.

His laptops broken, overload of dirty videos apparently. He is ok though.

You assumed correctly See below.

It's off Steves facebook page.

Something like this perhaps? You did say you wanted something different!
-
I thought that was standard operating procedure for you guys?!

I'll wait until the electric chipper comes out as well.

Or chip in a pile and get a telehandler for a day and sell the chip. Or stack the brash in a pile and get it chipped. Depends how much room you have to play with though. I used to use Anglia Recycling, who were very reasonable (£18 per tonne plus haulage and £17 a month for bin rental), but they have been taken over and the tonnage rate started to creep up.
-
I think you misunderstood my point.
-
Why are you looking for advice after you bought it? Bit late to tell you it's overpriced rubbish and not to touch it with a bargepole. (if that were the case)

Cant help you with the oak, but what a fantastic project! Best of luck with it.
-
I assume thats a spelling error, or is there a general lack of regional pride in your area?!
-
Nothing, because I'm not a girl and I don't need the house heating in September.

Strange looking Copper Beech
Peter replied to Matthew Arnold's topic in Tree Identification pictures
A chimaera is a "graft hybrid", ie where a rootstock starts to produce it's own foliage on the scion. It could just be a genetically unstable cultivar, with reversion appearing. In that case the most vigorous version usually takes over completely over a period of time. -
Do you mean an 090? If so Stihl have officially stopped production, so your best bet is to watch eBay for one.
