  1. only good thing is if we get some gales i can see some 87 style type stuff happening as all the root plates have had a good soaking and i wont be doing any dripping wet poxy leylandii hedges for a while unless the f$ckers are on the ground or blown over in some uncompromising situation i can charge a small fortune for!
  2. cool pics........ that looked like some fun work bodean
  3. just braught this dilapidated heap for the pricley sum of £300........ its not as bad as it looks i hope!!! used to belong to a friend who died and has been sitting for 7 years but ran nice before...hopfully a new battery and it will go ,but i cant move it out of it current location as the only way out is through a barley field and the bloody weather means it aint gonna be harvested untill we get a dry spell... next door is gona lend me his log splitter for as long as i need it if i fix the hydrolic hoses........log splittingf hear we come!

  12. false acacia we did a 15% reduction and braced today....badly hacked some years ago........was proper fun gettin out on the regrowth. Before [/img]
  13. Nice reduction steve...when i was doing mostly free lance a lot of companies made me leave my truck in there yards becouse it was sighn written..some stopped giving me work altogether when i first got it done...so its a hard catch to be in but i think people seeing a sighn written truck when your working definietly gets you more work especially locally.
  14. Iif its slower it definietely comes out like dust!
  15. if the anvill settings from the blade are larger will it increase productivity bigger chips and less strain on the engine? the anvill set up on my graveley 625 is nearly touching the blade and resulting in micro chips! surely its putting more strain on the engine?
