She looks a lot bigger than a 1650. Nice!
-
TV is now programmed to switch on for that just incase I forget, thanks for the heads up ;-)
-
Nice mog that! 2100? Some big lumps of timber, always so much easier with some hydraulic power to lift them off than rig then cut up to handball onto a trailer.
-
That's not some cracking work, really like the grim reaper caricature :-)
-
Think I'm going to have to watch this program more often for its educational properties and not because I quite fancy ellie Harrison ;-)

Well said, sometimes removal at the beginning of a problem is prudent as for a client struggling with the cost it can be more cost affective as the trees haven't reached the stage where they are unsecured to work on conventualy and the timber is possibly still sound anough to have some resale value. Well done johny for paying for the replanting. Imagine if we all once a year gave a day and a few quid and did some local community planting how many more trees would get going.

Lad who works for me has them. Hurts too much for me to use them now.
-
I use both, c's in winter and A's from about now on, really wish more manufacturer made B's as the extra padding on the back of the calf helps when spiking as I've actually cut the muscles there clean in half (not a chainsaw) I have gecko's which are the best I've found but still like the extra padding so sod all to do with the extra safety. In my opinion being overheated and not fully concentrating is far more dangerous than being cooler and more with it to get a better work position. Has anyone actually ever tried cutting a old pair of trousers to see the effects and how a saw drags them about?

Trying to buy a stump grinder from UK dealer.

How the hell did my staff get to you so fast, didn't think they got finished till 5 ;-) -
Will do but if I'm successful you owe me a beer ;-)
-
Cool video, how many driver's hit your cones gawping at the bloke up the tree or pooed themselves as a bit swung down on a rope.
-
Not saying you shouldn't get another rope to try as even if you don't like it as much you can never have too many ropes for those wet British summers.;-) it's illegal to climb with sopping wet gear from the day before, or at least that's what I tell the wife when she spots something new in the kit room ;-)
-
Palax processor so not true to the op's arb wast splitting question but sertenly not all perfect timber. Not sure which bags they use but vented one's but possibly not full m3 ones.
-
Going to have to get some drone footage soon, makes for a cool video.
-
About 22 is the rite age, young anough to go at it all day, old enough to have grown up and need the money preferably with girlfriend who requires upkeep.
-
Yeh that should be capable of shift a few pebbles per day, is she specked for forestry conditions underneath?
-
No rich, I was a die hard blue tongue fan till I put tachyon in my zigzag and loving it, really feeds well.
-
Funny how much more motivated they become when on a wage plus bonus if you reach a set amount achieved in time, only really works if your filling bags so can easily measure production, lad I know was hitting 40+ bags a day on a palax as was getting paid per bag, became highest paid member of staff by quite a bit!
-
A good mattock is essential, good for getting stubborn stones out the way or just finishing a root that you missed, big pry bar also worth the few quid. I got some of the red pedestrian barrier s and put scaffolding net on the inside which make excellent guards for grinding as don't fall over easily. Often though to get a advertising panel on the outside with something like, pedestrians please wate here till machine operator allows you past, for when we are doing street tree stumps.
-
The grinder, I'm more like a coffee crazed badger these days
-
Like robot wars on stroyds ;-)
-
Just end of year treated myself to a husky 1 and have been using it quite a lot from the landy mewp and has really impressed me I'd say it's filling the gap between the legendary 200t and a really sharp silky. Don't expect it to do a full dismantle but it'll strip out a crown on a cut and chuck job with easy communication with groundstaff and excellent on reducing stuff.
-
You could try pwm platform, pauls a good bloke, all tracked machines but if your really struggling let me know.
-
Where abouts and how big johny?
-
Ow yes, more hp, wider sweep, better teeth and remote control. Also much faster ground coverage in fast speed. Would love to know what the £difference is.
