  1. I just paid 2.6 for this woodland mills hm126. It came with 15 sharp blades, a bed extension and a welded steel frame that the mill is bolted to very happy with it and they seem to be few and far between second hand
  2. 35 western red cedar felled 50 cube of chip removed from site half a load of timber all stumps ground less than 8 hrs work for 3 guys
  3. Flail arrived for my 6 tonne Volvo this morning veey impressed so far
  4. Felling 30 pines on a development site, most trees had the roots dug out and a lot of them had a significant lean towards the highway which was well within falling distance. Removed the back weight or dismantled to a spar and pulled stems back into the site. Back tomorrow to chip and extract timber for collection with arctic
  5. We put up a Polly tunnel this year, but late getting going with it but stuffs growing on nicely now. Pictures from a few weeks ago weve got a bed of potato’s in the field which should see us most of the winter
  6. We are felling one in New Milton tomorrow , it’s only about 1.2m diameter though
  7. Until recently I had a timber grab with a diverter valve mounted to the side to switch from grab to rotate, it worked well enough and generally didn’t find switching between the two to restrictive. However, having just had an engcon fitted and being now able to rotate and grab at the same time does make a big difference
  8. Unimog 1200 with schleising chipper landy 110 with greenmech chipper valta t150 with 8/400 heizohack chipper massey fegusson 6485 with a variety of trailers 6 tonne Volvo excavator with timber grab/ tree shear and engcon small tracked jensen
  9. Thanks, It’s about 6 tonne
  10. Got the tree shear hooked up to it this morning
  11. My engcon got fitted yesterday and new grab turned up this morning. Waiting for my new rake with grab pocket to arrive after the weekend. It was an ex demo unit from engcon so saved a few quid on the unit very Impressed
  12. ????
  13. Yes we can provide basically the same setup but with more powerful tractors
  14. Maybe a bit more hp needed then, I fill my 12 tonne grain trailer with silage sides on in about 40 mins. Conditions of the blades make a huge difference but they are so cheap there should be no excuse to allow them to affect productivity
  15. What hp tractor was it on? I basically run the same setup but with a t150 with roofmount crane or put it behind my 185hp Massey and feed with an excavator Big piles like that can sometimes be a pain to get through with the smaller type crane fed machine, personally I prefer to feed the chipper with a excavator and rotating grab when working with piles like that as it’s easier to pull the pile apart and sort it out a little bit though a lot can be down to the operator id be happy to come down your way if you have any more chipping jobs like that
  16. Oh it was all red on there calender online! I'll have another look tonight Go through the arb association website, it’ll take you to a page where you can book tickets
  17. Twins the movie?... are you headed to the show then?
  18. It wouldn’t be the first time that’s got me in trouble...
  19. What sort of money do you think that would be Eddie?
  20. They are camping spaces available, I booked some last night
  21. Just the standard controls, initially I wanted the little joystick type but opted for the traditional and cheaper ones ?
  22. Out with the new tractor on a chipping job. 50k box makes a big difference for the drive to site
  23. It’s a 2005 t150, 50k box
  24. Valmet 8050, slightly more go at 110 but absolutely bombproof tractors
  25. Just waiting for this to come down from Wilson’s
