i’d go further than a mile ? generally i’d say within a 10 mile radius of my yard if i had to put a distance on it but location would have a lot to do with it. 9 miles or 15-20mins drive across the forest would take me from sway-Beaulieu, a drive i’d happily undertake. however 9 miles the other direction would put me just the other side of christchurch. i’m not interested in going over that way for one stump. it’s all relative
-
if i was out doing a few stump jobs in one day and i was local i’d charge £60 plus vat probably take longer to get the machine on and off the trailer than to grind it out and tidy it up

a lovely day, put down 1800 birds on our little shoot this morning, out for lunch with the misses then spent the afternoon filling some raised beds for the extension of our veg patch. two sets of mates popped round for a natter and a cup of tea. just polished off a roast dinner of which everything was grown at home or shot by myself and sank a nice bottle of red. chainsaw milling is just rubbish ? in all honesty it’s very difficult to make a decent wage out of it as proved by one of the guys that used to work for me
-
chainsaw milling is dirty, smelly, frustrating, dull, hard work, how anybody would wish to do it full time is beyond me my woodland mills hm130 is fantastic for cutting out the odd gatepost or bits and pieces of timber for around the place but is equally dull, but it serves a purpose however its a nice thing to have around and handy when i need it

someone crashed into us at a junction, it was our right of way. it’s been a battle with our insurance company since the whole thing happened. low ball repair estimates, missed damage, low ball salvage value, vehicle moved to salvage yard before a decision had been made, removal of personal items without permission and no idea when these will be returned. insurance company saying one thing and doing another. the list goes on.....and all this from a company that is supposed to be acting on my behalf worst service i’ve ever experienced
-
going on my experience over the last 7 weeks having vehicle insurance with arborisk il be changing at renewal, worst service i’ve ever had and still not resolved.

Most expensive single tree removal you have done ?
John Shutler replied to bigtreedon's topic in Employment
4.5k for a crane removal with a road closure and power shutdown all done in a busy day -
yes give yourself another 15-20years experience doing the job day in, day out and you might think the same
-

That was a great tractor and my first foray into tractor ownership wilsons gave me what I gave for that tractor and used it as a deposit for my next one im on my third tractor and crane combo now and I’ve never seen a single one before I bought it, in fact first time I’ve seen them is when they turn up on the low loader first tractor had 13k hrs second had 9k most recent has got 7k ive also bought a Massey with 9k hours and my new one has 4k i wouldn’t be to worried what hours something has
-
What machine you running that on John as been looking at that exact model, how do you find it being able to sweep both ways through thick bramble and scrub. It’s on a Volvo ec55c im very happy with it, one way obviously cuts better than the other but just the way of it

2.5 tonne Kubota, he’s only used it a couple of times. I’ve got the larger te80rev forestal on my machine so tends to get me to do bits as and when they come up, plus he wants to get a little dumper instead
