    Have had a D30 for nearly 2 years and it has been a great machine. Tried 3 machines when I was choosing a new grinder and this was by far the best built and least complicated machine. It is heavy and sinks in wet ground if you don't put the duals on but the hydraulic steering and easily engaged/disengaged dif make it really manoeuvrable. FSI have been great on warranty. And the kubota engine isn't lacking. Get one on demo you won't be disappointed.

    I'm looking to get some large Oak butts milled in to boards for a customer. They are around 15-18' long and between 36"-26" in diameter. There is a telehandeler on site to assist moving lifting. Will pay good money if anyone is interested. Message me on here or call 07778 288698. Thanks

    Found a Rolex watch thought I'd had it off till one of the lads said " what's the second hand doing?" I said "ticking" They said "it's a fake real ones don't tick they go round smoothly" Throw it in the next conifer and carried on!

    Been using one for tree work for 11 yeRs she's a bit tiered now and will be due an upgrade this year. That said a lovely simple machine to drive and to fix. The outside is strong with good metal mud guards and will handle a nock or two. If you going to use it on the road a lot I would look at something newer!

    Finally took some pictures of that cedar and also some Oak that was inside taking up space put the moisture tester on them and fun ally the oak that had been inside was 15% and the cedar that was out side was 13%. Pm me if any one has any ideas as I will end up cutting up for logs if I have to move it again.

    Good luck give it a go. Get stuck in, the only real way to learn is to do! Don't take on anyting you don't fell you can handle. But the more jobs you do the more experience you will gain. Go to collage learn the basics then do the tickets you think your going to need. It may be that you only decide to small tree and hedges, just progress and learn and don't be afraid to ask for help even small trees can be very dangerous. As for working for free I wouldn't expect anyone to do that it's just a p**s take even if your drag brush all day you get paid. It you want to do a few days pm me I'm only near j19 of the m25.

    THE NFU insure are tractors for any driver any age no arguments. Have been with them over 20 years, shopped around this year to see if we were getting the best deal and we couldn't find any one to bet them!

    I have some large boards that i had milled out of a very large Cedar of Lebanon that we took down about 4 years ago. The boards measure 8'6" by 4'6" by 2" these are approx sizes as some are narrower than others. They have been stored out side just covered with a bit of tin and have had bits of batten between them, there is 14 or 15 boards. Have moved them round the yard 2 or 3 times and was wondering if anyone had a use for them and if so what are they worth?

    You never stop learning, if you work with trees everyday, you will have to bend your mind in different ways everyday as every tree is different! Hopefully you will continue to learn new skills and be able to solve new problems! But never become complacent it's a consent learning curve! Work as safe as you can to the best of your ability, but never be afraid to ask for help.

    No T.P.O, no conservation area. Just go right ahead and do the job you have done everything that is reasonable to cover yourself.

    I have always used stihls for 15 years, but had a good deal on a new 395xp last year and can say it handles a 36" bar great and is far lighter and easy to handle than our 088.
