  1. Why’s that? At the moment the furthest we go is about 30miles for the national trust, but we tend to leave the kit there till we are done with the contract
  2. Taking down a pine. Full trailer of chip and timber gone by 1230
  3. Fantastic David, a pleasure read alongside my morning cup of tea
  4. I've also got a 10 ton trailer, I think thE high/silage sides are important. The root crop trailers are good but very long
  5. It's a 12 tonne trailer, I reckon it's got about 25cube capacity or there abouts i don't think you'd want to go much bigger as would be a pain to get into places.

  7. Been pollarding some lines with about 40ft of regrowth this week amongst other things new chipper making like work of the arisings trailer made the mog grunt a little bit, but my big Massey should be fixed Monday so all good IMG_3241.MOV
  8. I get a lot of work through recommendations, some from the arb approved contractor scheme and a bit from checkatrade, I advertise in a local paper periodically but usually come out of it when I get busier, I also find that the paper generally brings the work I'm not really interested in doing anymore. My website is outdated and not really relevant to the work we do now

Having recieved an email today to inform users that the Arbpro software will be closing as of novemebr, its raised the question of what else is out there? having become fairly reliant on the Arbpro software this is quite an inconvinience what other similar software is out there? it doesnt neeed to be industry specific particulary cheers
  14. Spot in tom, that where I'm at as well
  15. Thanks for your help eddie!!!
  16. Can a grab and rotator set up viably be done by adding a diverter valve if the arm slew and hammer lines are both controlled off the same proportional control on the joystick which are in turn selected by depressing a button on the joystick?
  17. Looking for a stump ripper thing to go on my volvo ec55, anybody got any recommendations
  18. I've worked on that tree for the last 10 years or so, the couple have been deliberating about having it down for years, it was to close to the house and caused them lots of sleepless nights when it was windy
  19. [ATTACH]221809[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]221810[/ATTACH][ATTACH]221811[/ATTACH][ATTACH]221812[/ATTACH][ATTACH]221813[/ATTACH] Cedar crane removal today, 4 loads of chip in the landy and 1 in the mog, 4 loads of timber. Rings counted at 123
