  1. Shows how strong a phone line is.
  2. Or even customers!
  3. I may well be interested. Full chisel chains are square on the side of the cutter and the top and the tip comes to a sharp point. Chisel cutters are round on the top and side. Semi chisel are flat on the side and the top but rounded where the two surfaces meet. Put up some pictures of close ups of the chain cutters if you don't know what sort they are. How much are you looking for per chain, or how much for the job lot?
  4. Bit of lunging from earlier in the year.
  5. Skinny gob, low rope and an offset pull through a block, back through the gate and onto the landy. 3 low, diff lock, 2000 revs, dump clutch. Hey presto, fell the conny over the fence into the garden. Not a scratch. Surely?
  6. Look no further! Gavin is the man for the job! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/12311-free-labour.html
  7. Its an Elm, it won't fall over. £150 please.
  8. Rip. One of my favourite albums is Black Sabbath's Live Evil.
  9. :lol: Just nearly spat my drink out!!!
  10. Seems a sensible way forward, Pete. However, to save a mountain of administration, why don't the EA just unequivocally clarify to tree surgeons and to other authorities who want to check, that tree surgery arisings are not waste. Then only those who carried 'waste' would need licenses.
  11. ..but surely it couldn't be him, could it? Its an awfully long way from Norfolk. :lol:
  12. I think thats more of a four wheel trailer arrangement, like a dolly and trailer. I don't think you can put a towball on the back of a standard trailer and start towing a chipper behind that, within train weights or not. 18 Stoner has had first hand experience of what is, and isn't, allowed.
  13. While you were out that way with your big chipper, couldn't Darren talk you into chipping all his brash up round the corner on the main road thats been there weeks! Only take a couple of minutes with the beast! Better than the council finding it with a flail when they come to cut the verge!
  14. Its the one on the Bewholme turn off. I passed it yesterday. P.S. you missed a big bit of dead wood right at the top as well.
  15. Found the thread, it was you that started it! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/5525-felling-cherry-over-two-years.html Still can't make your mind up?
  16. I am sure I read a thread on here a bit back, where the latest thinking on this was subject was that staged felling didn't make any difference in the long term. If its going to heave or shrink then it will anyway, as the soil has to adapt, whether its reduced and felled in stages or felled in one visit. Can't remember the title though, sorry. Maybe some of the enlightened ones will add something.
  17. Cheers, much appreciated mate.
  18. Its true! Driffield is a sh1thole!
  19. Bump! Am still after a front bar stud. Treequip's after some dogs. Anyone got a scrap 2100 at the back of the shed?
  20. Old Skool cool! Here's me giving the old 2100 a run out last week. Cutting through conker like it was butter.
  21. Terrible news. Another reminder for us all to take care. Stay safe guys.
  22. Very well executed and informative stuff, Steve! Nice use of the chipper for line tensioning. If the pieces are not huge, rather than fixing the line on the lower lashing point, we put a small portawrap on the top lifting eye and set the zip line on that. Quick to attach / unattach and you can drop the brash straight into the hopper, butt first.
  23. I have seen a couple of Jensons in the workshop that have had rail clips ingested, not a pretty sight. The damage not helped by operators then tracking them half a mile to where they can be put on a vehicle, without first taking the drive belts off the flywheel pulley. Apparantly its not an uncommon occurance for these clips to loosen and then a passing train flick them up into the trees at the side of the track. Thorn trees are usually to blame, so I am told.
  24. 3 cube chip capacity sounds very poor indeed. Be enough for the council though
  25. ...Or a mewp, eh Dean?
