  1. 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.
  2. Going to have to get some drone footage soon, makes for a cool video.
  3. 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.
  4. Yeh that should be capable of shift a few pebbles per day, is she specked for forestry conditions underneath?
  5. No rich, I was a die hard blue tongue fan till I put tachyon in my zigzag and loving it, really feeds well.
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. The grinder, I'm more like a coffee crazed badger these days
  9. 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.
  10. You could try pwm platform, pauls a good bloke, all tracked machines but if your really struggling let me know.
  11. 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.
  12. The dreaded orange plant, wish I could justify one of these as it's a real money maker if you get the jobs for it as what it destroys in an hour could take a day with a lesser machine.
  13. Thanks, thanks a whole bunch, now I have a reason to need 1 ;-) Next time I'm in remind me ;-)
  14. Transits never did have a long lived clutch, always thought they should have a gear below 1st for setting off with a arb load on ;-)
  15. Evil old lime stumps from yesterday, photos don't show quite how big they were but 5 of them all at least 3ft tall and full of crap so no reducing with a saw, glad all the grinding were stopping on site!
  16. Ah there my problem I don't have a grandad licence to drive it and am too tight to do HGV just for odd times to drive it.
  17. 22 or 24 can't quite remember jon, very stable machine and the driver is good crack and loves coming out doing tree stuff but refused to be in basket with me wielding the 088 last time, think a 36"bar scared him a bit ;-)
  18. Good platform that 1 Paul and the driver is a top bloke as well!
  19. And it'll help stop the electrolysis between the steel and alloy which causes the bubbles of oxidisation. Looking good phas :-)
  20. Big congratulations from out house to you my friend, hope mother and son are both doing well and well done on a home birth.
  21. Not the flip flops! Should be a law against such things except on the beach! Not normal for a bank holiday Monday to be this nice, almost wish I was working to do some reductions in the warm and dry.
  22. Sorry for slightly De railings the op's thred, was going to start mine today on this and just stole yours
