No nowt like this on this site, I checked, after all it is just the sports field, some areas it's made very clear in the job pack what's not to be photoed
-
Full security passes for all staff with crb checks and Referance checks but had these in place from previous works luckily as would never have got these processed between knowing about this job and the date it had to be done by.
-
You wouldn't believe the paperwork involved in this site being behind the wire on a military camp so planning permission was the least of our worries.

Getting rid of a few big old oaks on a development site, was a case of get in, get done and get out quickly so plenty of hydraulic power on site.

That thing was a beast with the taillift tracked chipper, what ever happened to her?

Mini digger flails- are they worth it.
Gray git replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Large equipment
Been having good results with our little flail on a e26 but like said you have to keep that radiator clear. Was thinking of making some sort of cover that would go on with press studs or clips to cover the vents when on the trailer Do fancy changing for a femac 70rev -
I'd be a bit worried about this chipper having had a not ideal ownership of a st8 so if your putting a decent amount of hp from a tractor through it I can't imagine it'll be long lived. I'd be looking at something like this for sale by global recycling, I ran a 260 for years and apart from a few dints gave no issues. CH27 DMR Chipper - Global Recycling WWW.GLOBALRECYCLING.EU

Holding up really well but then I tend to swap implements around for grubbing out or shoving really ugly big bits around by using the rake or buckets, like said having the big rotator and quick hitch reduces the break out force so probably protects things a bit. This grab has quite good grip strength for breaking forks before chipping or nipping bigger bits and holding ontothem so I'd definitely recommend it as a product Been out today with the other better than expected attachment, little niubo flail which punches well above its specifications.

Bobcat out doing its thing again feeding the chipper on a site clearance, love this setup for keeping my hands away from thorns and brambles.
-
Still more than a transit then!
-
That would be a godsend as I'm always having a fight when swapping from grab to shear to flail even when I've made sure to drop the pressure before changing
-
Global are doing a deal which might still be on

Mts do but transport is a problem with it being in a far off depot apparently and they didn't seem to keen on just 2 days hire. Will look up cls Found these guys using slightly different wording on Google so going to be calling them tomorrow Northern Tree Transplanters WWW.NORTHERNTREETRANSPLANTERS.COM Northern Tree Transplanters is a new company. We are able to relocate and remove trees and shrubs from a site in readiness for a re-development. Because of planning restrictions, for example tree preservation orders or sites of scientific interest, it may be easier to remove the trees than work around them. They can then be brought back to the site following the completion of the development. This gives the end result an instant mature look and feel, leaving the trees unharmed.

This is ours That landy is very nice and comes in your company colours already which is handy

I got a ex electric board hilux with a really well built body as our tool truck and tow tug, wish I could have found a twin cab with such a nice body on as the op's picture.
-
Any one know of a tractor or loader mounted tree spade available for hire in the North East or North Yorkshire, we have a client wanting to relocate about 40 young oaks with about 4-6" dbh from part of a plantation we have to clear for a eco house into the field in front as part of the landscaping process.
-
No shafts all the way
-
That is chipping faster than a lot of bigger roller fed machines, must have a twin pot fitted to work like that.
-
Yes, was typically a bit of a panic to get it done and made safe especially since it was on the children's trail on over the bridge.. Perry pixie wasn't to happy with us disturbing his house but a new one will be carved into the 8ft stump we left
-
Awkward oak removal last week as the stem has started to crack apart from the ground up, limited room, a lake and a dubiously built bridge ment we had to take it easy but used the botex to lift all the limbs I could reach which really made it quicker. Then off to finish a little thinning job while the fields around the wood were still stubble, just over 100 ton we think in this heap, 14 load anyway and around the same on the clients hard standing to be chipped for his own boiler next winter.
-
That was me, those are far nicer sticks than the rotten oak I had in tow.
-
Must have been up near me as passed the mog near leaming last night when I was on way back in valtra.

A Common Sense approach to Training?
Gray git replied to The avantgardener's topic in Training & education
Definitely worthwhile but in my opinion totally impractical, how much thinning work is undertaken with saws these days and to a even greater extent how many people carrying out these training courses will actually have the opportunity to work in a environment where constant saw use is available to clock up the hrs and practice/experience required. Most who come into the Arb side of saw use will spend there 1st few months dragging brash and snedding the odd bit to fit a chipper and not have the opportunity to fell anything which after all is what the assessment focuses on. As an employer I give apprentices every chance to practice when it's suitable but to drop a stem that's been stripped out might only clock up 15 min experience that day so gaining 20, 50 or 100 hrs saw use could be a long process. I'd also see it open to a lot of interpretation of how much use someone actually gains on the job where an employer would want someone to have the full ticket to tick the boxes for some sites/clients/insurance. -
Who you on for doing that, not seen any of the damage up there yet but sounds like it was bad
