    Scots pine and a lot of it. I’ll try and liaise with a local mill if I can find one. We’ve plenty of room to stack. I’m weighing my options up for it this winter

    I have access to a woodland primarily of pine which has al the appropriate permissions in place. pine is all 8-15 inch diameter straight over stood first thinnings. Looking into the hundreds of tonnes potentially. I’m looking at options as to how to maximise return. Am I looking at primarily at chip wood/timber for firewood/kindling or are there any other suitable avenues to pursue

    SMN Tree and Landscape Management based in Wigan greater manchester are looking for a trainee tree surgeon as an apprentice. No formal experience is required. The only prerequisite is a full driving licence and an ability to learn and work hard with an attitude to tree work. Initially not shy to drag brash and generally muck in. After an initial trial period of upto 6 months of informal training, if sufficient aptitude shown, we will look towards a more formal package of training. Pay based upon current level of skill and will increase accordingly. If interested pm a brief cv and contact details. Steve SMN trees

    I'd go with one of the stein smaller bollards like the rc1000 or 2000. We have the smallest one and it has done some frighteningly big pieces.

    It also depends if it is HP or Lease Hire. Lease hire is slightly more complex to do but arblease would guide you through

    14mm sirius rope here on my second lot. Snapped the first one snatch pulling a 500kg length of poplar up hill with the land rover (it was about to be replaced anyway). It is a nice rope to tie with and at less than £100 really isn't bad

    I've some off cuts of rope of various lengths I've retired. Not sure how they became off cuts

    exactly the way I'm thinking of going with it.

    It is well away to not cause heave. If it was an nhbc build the tree is well outside the zone of influence with regards to potential damage to foundations/heave.

    Its a b1 from me as well. It has high amenity but also potential issues which would drop from a to b

    Stump removal within the rpa should be by grinding as it causes less root damage as far as I remember. I'll have a look in 5837 as there is defo something written in there

    Alot of canal tree work is done by tilhill/fountains or whatever they are called nowadays. Rivers and canals are mainly canal and river trust responsibility who have preferred contractors such as above

    At Kirkby just make sure the chip is clean with no log as they will charge you. I've tipped about 30tonne of chip there in the last couple of months

    Even play bark has spores un it. Once spread out on the floor I really wouldn't worry

    Also I don't believe +2 inch eats ujs partcilarly. Good quality ones seem to last well.

    I have standard heavy duty fronts with plus 2 inch heavy duty terrafirma on the rear. Keeps things level when heavily loaded. Also have a terrafirma extra hd anti rollbar which helps no end. Mine will carry 1.2 tonne of chip with high sides and not look overweight even though it is. Still handles well with a bit of roll if you were to drive with that kind of weight on the road.

    Just giving some options. I just lose the ability to type when drunk. Sounding would br my first point of call and make a decision from there. Given the increasing amount of fruiting bodies appearing each year the Long term prognosis for a tree that is close to or within falling distance of a property is not going to be good. Also given I is on NT property removal would be the likely course of action.

    Rots the lignin. Go back with a mallet. Reduce or remove due to the potential targets of habitation.

    They appear to be a rebadged Chinese generic shredder chipper. For domestic use they aren't bad. They have a small infeed on the side for straight timber and a set of flails for up to 10mm material. The material is discharged onto the floor in front. Reality is it is only good for about 1 inch diameter. They vibrate like crazy and build quality of the unbadged variety would be suitable for domestic use only. Although I did do 5 or 6 "pro" jobs with one when starting out. The build issues were what let the pure chinese one down.

    You only need a license if you watch live tv. You can have an Arial and a tv without a license. They have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you watch live tv in other words they have to catch you in The act. They can't fine you if you don't give them your name. They can only come in if you invite them in. They are a private firm who are on a commission basis and hence so pushy. It is a civil offence also you are not a criminal and therefore the police cannot be involved. To enter your property they would require a court warrant. I have a license as my other half insisted.

    Think you need to post in the scrap metal part of the forum. The logs won't be worth much. The price of metal logs at present is through the floor you'd be better stacking it till prices change. Don't stack it too long though as it will rot through in no time.

    Yes regularly tow up to 3.5 with a 200tdi. Get used to.using low box. Also get some hd rear springs if you have them. It won't be quick but will do it.

    Wet wet and wetter here. There goes the massive poplar removal then.

    Again I'd sing the praises of the hb20. We've just done about 100 stumps today ranging from 3inch to 24inch. I'm tired but the machine just keeps going and going. Teeth turning is easy, greasing is easy and it is built to American overengineered standards.
