I never work for farmers and rarely 'landowners' Deep pockets and they seem to live in an alternate fiscal universe. Why don't you just get 2 dozen quotes if there is no urgence? For some, it is a hobby. Ty

Having been in France a number of years but kept my U.K licence, I decided to exchange for a French licence when we leased the 7.2t. Even though the licences are E.U there are nuances from country to country. As a result, I have automatically been given the full 12t gross train weight rights without needing to pass any further tests. Ty

We run a 2015, 7.2t ton Iveco Daily tipper with a standard steel tipping unit (better for re-sale here), removable alloy sides, tool box and a tarp roof. It allows us around a 3.6t payload. I love it, limited to 90kph of course but with a 3litre twin turbo it certainly pulls. The body is good for 9m cube. Ty

Hello, I'm considering a budget towed log splitter, 22ton. The cycle time is 15secs and the engine is a 6.5hp Kipor Chinesium affair. It is not a deal breaker, just wondered about lifespan. Assuming I change the oil regularly, how many hours might I get from such a motor? Looking online I can get a replacement engine for £150 up to £350 for a Honda. Ty

I rent a shredder from time to time when nothing else is available. Saelin 23hp diesel with toothed conveyor feed and an over sized single roller. Feeding in vines, lonicera and hedge cuttings (not trimmings) I find it infernally slow, blocks easily and noisy. The toothed belt doesn't help the feeding of materials, it actually prevents you from helping with push sticks. Ty

I've just cleaned up the saw with a compressor and found tucked away under an AV spring this item. Seems to have come loose and got lodged . There is another part between engine and body which is also made of the same foam and well perished. I recuperated this saw from the business I am leaving. It's been well thrashed by the employees. I dug out the invoice and lo' I bought it in 2009 so about time it had a few parts changed. Ty

Is there a rule that all the safety bars must be in red and safety stickers in place upon leaving factory? Ty

So if I reduce globally the alder should bounce back and further provide me with future work in 5 years. Cheers! Ty
-
Hello, Strangely, I realised I've never reduced an alder before, only ever removed them. So my question to the members of this parish is: " If done, how does the tree react?" Regards Ty

Not that I get paid every day in filthy lucre but paying my folding monies into the bank is not even in my top 100 of "Things to do with a sweaty wedge of cash" Ty

Hello, Previously, with my CS100, aside from locking it through the axle, I often removed the chute and drive belt cover and hid themor took them away with me. I have also removed the wheels too and left the axles on blocks of oak when leaving on site or even left loaded in my trailer. If in the event of the machine being lifted, it might be tracked down by the new owner ordering parts. It also might just put any potential thief right off if they realise it isn't a complete machine. Ty

Wisteria, some advice needed.
Ty Korrigan replied to Mick Dempsey's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Spare not the secateurs but close attention to what you are cutting and that it isn't something you want to keep. It has a habit of doubling back on itself. Lady clients often get very upset with radical treatment of this plant which they deem as holy. I've been booted by clients before for taking the vine back to basics. Best of luck. -

I prune a few regularly and have renovated some which where just a mass of twisted non-sense. I choose a couple of main leaders and remove all the others. Then prune the laterals back to 4-5 buds. If your tough on the pruning regime the plant will concentrate it's growth into the chosen leaders rather than spreading it's energy into creating growth which pruned off as unsuitable. I also prune after the first flowering as most flower again in later summer. Basically, treat them as you would a grape vine. Regards Ty -
Weak main zip, sent it back to H'bros. Exchanged it for 'Kieu' is it? Zip went again but unlike the Stihl the zip can easily be replaced with a tougher one. Ty

A new start up here over West is going for one of those generic 15hp chippers marketed under any-one of a double dozen brands. Lumag being his choice. We wait to see what will come of this choice and if it is £1500 well spent or well flushed down the tubes. Meanwhile, any-one got a price forxa Haecksler 4 with the Vtwin18hp Vanguard? I emailed in the course of research for said new startup but got nowt back. Ty

Before I pop into Espace Emeraude in Vitre to ask for this 'butoir annulaire' I'm gonna damn well google translate it first. They also sell artificial insemination equipment so best get the term right to avoid possible complications... Thanks for that! Ty

Hello all, I'm missing a rubber AV mount but what exactly am I asking for before I embarrass myself trying to order it. 441 lower AV rubber? Too tired to scan parts diagrams tonight... Cheers Ty

Cheers for that info. Off the top of your head, how much room would a small crane require? Ty

Our Quadchip only ever clogged on long dead dry hedge material which had got wet or evergreen felled by the client and left so they went black. Rare occurances and easy to remedy with the folding chute. Ty

Well, I've just bought a subby one of these Arbortec smocks. It is well finished, heavy yet supple 3 ply fabric with water resistant zips, underarm pit zips and looks far too good to use climbing. If it does what is says on the box then I'll treat myself to a wicked Lime Green one. Ty

Oh no, was not a criticism at all. I've been looking at their smaller grinders. Ty

Re-badged Laski? I came across them when looking for stumpsgrinders. Come with a winch too. Ty
