Auto box is perfect for a work landrover in my experience. I run a big diesel that used to eat clutches, gearboxes & uj's , fitted a ZF auto hp 22 from a range rover 3.9 . Not had a transmission problem in years :-D . Would be interesting to try a later hp24 and use an electronic controller from Ashcrofts. Most serious off road heavy vehicles are auto ;-)

If a tree splits and then snaps off high your safe zone has gone 😲 , there will be a length of stem above & behind you ..... you'd have to be quick to guess which side it's coming down 😈

Obviously you've checked your tyre pressures ? ☺

Worth my time to extract alder

Roll a ring kiln in and carry nice light charcoal out ? :-) -
I've been there, in the moment of crisis everything slows right down and gives you time to react. Didn't happen in tree work , but the knowledge that a fall from height would feel like an awful long time makes me careful ;-)

Temporary posts up against the hedge , string the wire up , knock in the permanent posts and transfer the wire over ?

Thin discs are probably one of the wonders of the modern world, along with the miracle of the mag drill A plasma cutter and a good welding set opens the fabricacation horizons wide -
A bit far for me. More storage capacity is a good plan though. Looked them up now ...... Nationwide :-)

That's what I thought Jon , white is cheaper. Best I speak to my friendly farmer or local mariner
