  1. Some of it looks little flimsy and not much cop for doing arb wast timber but if you had a market for softwood logs or doing slabwood it'd be ideal.
  2. Used 1 quite a lot, old version but hel of a tool on the rite job
  3. Tressel at either side and a lay your ladder over them and run the mill on that to give your parallel top and bottom cuts, done it before on very curved bits of timber and works well.
  4. So are landrover's really, I have 2 but at least you can fix them yourself and parts are readily available and not really that expensive compared to mog parts.
  5. Every time you put up a video it gets me thinking about getting a M7 now I have room to leave it set up inside the yard shed and start making use of some of the smaller hardwood we get instead of just the big stuff with the alaskan mill. Think if I get long term tenancy agreement sorted with landlord I'm going to build a upstairs office/ baitroom /storage space which could just justify it to mill all the larch in the yard that otherwise is going to be chipped for biomass.
  6. All finished today and 986kg of clippings going off to friendship Estates to get something extracted for cancer treatment. 650kg last year so big increase and this little bit of plastic might be part of the reason also less time as didn't need to rake the hedge top 😀
  7. Not sure what this 1 is but it's quite a nice picture .
  8. Anyone else seen this video David put up of his home flooding in a freak storm. Hope you are all OK and the home didn't get damaged. Let us know how you are doing if you get a chance and see this. https://youtu.be/usP0-G2ldW0
  9. There was 1 knocking about up our way a good few years back with a hiab on it which looked very substantial and the bloke used it to lift oil tanks into place off the trailer as could nose in somewhere and lift it over the front into place, always thought a lightweight timber crane like the farma crane Wilson's put on the ifor would be good but not massive reach and could run off a hydraulic pump on the transfer box like my mewp. Buger, now you've got me thinking again
  10. Well if you can mount this on a landy and lift 240kg to 14.5m you should get away with a reasonable size crane, I'd always go for 4 legs. Thought about something similar with a landy 90 and a nice folding crane so maximising what could go on the trailer.
  11. Flying carpet Long reach hegecutter and a lot of stretch.! Couldn't do it without these as well
  12. Only the single sided blade models I think.
  13. Will have to check that in morning as not actually sure but it definitely makes different having the 30"cutter and catcher plate.
  14. Two of us, nearly finished tops just a bit on right to finish and two big pyramids behind me, almost finished outside as well. Got 950kg of cuttings last year and definitely more this time according to the gardens, brand new hedge cutter for the top so cutting sweet also got a catcher plate which scoops up the clips so can easily flick them off the top which is saving loades of time in not having to rake them off.
  15. Had a rite mission today cutting this lot, back tomorrow to finish about the same amount again, got to be done by 3 as it's getting collected for cancer drug extraction, luckily the two gardeners are doing all the tidy up all we have to do is cut.
  16. Have you ever fallen in that thing? Points at chipper......
  17. Not really a selfie but I like it and it was a hel of a drop at the end
  18. That's from cattle put in the field in the last 2 month since it snuffed it, asked about that and field was ungrazed last year, nothing else in ares affected as of yet. One of the gardens is going to have a bit of a dig about the roots tomorrow nd see if anything shows up.
  19. It's how quickly it went that's strange normally see some dead appearing for a while or it will try to leaf up in parts but this is completely gon over winter, client is worried because they have a collection of quite unusual rodadedendrns and ornamental flowering trees close bye.
  20. Now the fun bit,getting it into the playground at the back of the primary school.
  21. Carving out this chair for a local school.
  22. A cut leaf beech with healthy normal leaf last year, droped normal in autumn but made no attempt to bud up this year. No fungus showing itself and it's got my clients her head gardener and myself slightly baffled. Any suggestions?
  23. Could you pm me your contact details as been thinking about 1 for a while and now got a potential job where it'd be ideal due to restricted access.
  24. Nuts, trail bars, eggs, porrage for breakfast avoid the high sugar as it's a massive high then a crash which is what you're suffering from, that and burn out. Take a brake and rest or you'll end up ill for much longer.
