    yeah an old mazda and the spanner for the spout bolts. i got a 5k bank loan to buy the chipper (id already saved 3k) and the mazda cost me 3200. they were certainly simpler times. the pop got felled eventually, not by me fortunately the access was terrible

    doing something terrible to a lombardy poplar early 2000s, i actually smashed a small brick wall in the drop zone and had to rebuild it. my first chipper and truck circa 2008, i shovelled a lot of woodchip out the back of that thing

    taking out a row of conifers at a hotel the last couple of days, and some random other pictures from jobs over the last month or so. my old valmet 8050 setup i had 4 tractors ago, was a bloody good old thing.

    Property and how to be a better buisnessman, self help stuff seems to a a trend with tree surgeons from Southampton, I’m always slightly dubious of self appointed experts whatever the trade or buisnness. Good of luck with it

    no need with the kamado, you just fill the basket up and light the middle of it, you can control the temp really easily with the vents and that keeps a steady burn. ive had 10hrs burning with this method and still had charcoal left at the end. the pork jowl had already been cold smoked so i didn’t bother putting anything else in with it

    4hrs in the kamado gear is pretty good, i couldn’t justify a big one but the little one does fine for what i need IMG_6611.MOV

    just the small one, joe junior?

    1kg pork jowl about to spend a few hours in the kamado

    that’s exactly the reason i did it, the frame never moves or flexes when you put a log on it, my mate had a norwood and it was awful to level up and then it’d still move when you put a log on it

    my woodland mills sawmill is mounted onto a 5m long RSJ frame, i can pick it up and move it around on my low loader behind my valtra then use the roofmount to load logs if i need

    not a bag, but these are very good and you can put a flask ontop Easy Carry Outdoor Cooler 6.6L - Green SHOP.ORDNANCESURVEY.CO.UK The best place to buy your GB hiking, walking and travel maps and guides, as well as outdoor gear and accessories... I can vouch for their durability, mine fell off the chipper on the back of the mog at 40mph one day (where it got left after lunch) and it survieved with little more than a scratch. Keeps stuff cool even on the hottest days. but its not a bag

    i think one of the main questions is whats beneath it? that will affect the level of faffing about required to get it on the deck

    what exactly is the issue with having a replacement tree with a TPO on? The other route is you plant a replacement tree, unfortunately it "dies" within 3 years so you duly plant another to replace it, which "dies" within 3 years so you replace it again etc etc etc.

    well i’ve found it a pretty welcoming place for the last 15 years or so, maybe it’s not for you? as bob dylan said “Half of the people can be part right all of the time Some of the people can be all right part of the time But all of the people can’t be all right all of the time I think Abraham Lincoln said that “I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours” I said that”

    well if you don’t like it your welcome to “disappear” yourself?

    THe firs time time I replaced the bearings on my old Timberwolf 150 they lasted about 50 hours,I hadn’t balanced the fly wheel correctly. The second time I did it I had more of an idea what I was doing (thanks to dean) and it’s probably still going well now

    if its anything like the stump grinder I had on my boxer skid steer it'll be fairly dire

    you’ll need to demonstrate that in installing the dropped kerb there will be no damage to tree roots. solutions like cell web or similar that kevin suggested are all well and good but there is often an issue with build height (as it is a no dig solution) and how the new surfacing will interface with the existing road
