Nothing of much interest over the last couple of weeks, i’ve been doing lots of development site surveys and the guys have been working on a couple of tree safety contracts for local councils. I cut an access through a hedge with ecologist supervision then made some log/habitat stacks on another development site down in dorset to satisfy an ecology condition. took a couple of knackered beech out with the roto on another site as well. i suppose variety is the spice of life IMG_2165.MOV

fair enough. Ive got an idea of what id charge and reckon I could fell it for the same sort of money as it would cost to prune it

he made a nice job on that hedge mick. any ideas what sort of money he had on it? I've turned up to price a few jobs like that and ended up convincing them to fell instead

I had a a cone splitter on my 7 tonne machine and it was hopeless, sold it and bought a westtech cracker instead. Woodcracker L | WESTTECH .:. Woodcracker WWW.WESTTECH.AT you could run it off a spool on your tractor and feed it with the crane on the trailer all from the comfort of the cab. mines actually now bolted to the side of my heizohack

@Steve Bullman dont seem to be able to upload videos from iphone now steve

Been taking a conifer hedge out this week. 180 cube of chip and about 20 tonne of timber. ran over the site with the mulcher today to sort out the rake up. fitted in a couple of council jobs and a separate little chipping job with the heizohack as well IMG_1980.MOV IMG_1980.MOV

potbellied would suggest the rest of me is skinny, whereas the reality is that i’ve got a fairly even covering of lard

i’ve got the Femac rev forestal heavy duty swinging hammer version with the hollow rotor. it’s always gone well on my jcb and the volvo before it but always thought about a fixed tooth one. do a video if you ever get a chance mate

@Stephen Blair

how does it run that fixed tooth mulcher @stephenblair

you sound bitter
