    Ah yeh, just spotted that on the email address.

    Apparently a emergency closure only applies if there is a actual obstruction, hazard or reason to prohibited the safe passage of vehicles and a tree that could fail isn't one of these according the hw office.

    Where is the course to be held please as might be interested in this as a cpd ticket.

    That's exactly the problem I'm having at the moment, highways inspector spots a problem, out comes cc tree office - hmm yes that tree and the next need to be removed as a problem - landowner being the MOD have a bit more public duty of care so agree to have the work done - we price it and get the order to do it and organise the closure as its vertually a single track road and need to set a mewp up on it. 8 months on I'm still trying to get a date sorted to close the road to do it and the bill before we turn up will be over 1500 for charges and tm - really annoying thing is its same office that highlighted the need for the work thats making it difficult to get on and do it. Could get interesting if the tree actually fails and hurts someone while we are shuffling paper!

    Stop works is for short duration works and I think its less than 15min without checking I'm the chapter 8 red book and then your not ment to restricted traffic flow for an hour before being able to stop them again. Thing is that if done properly the emergency services are informed about the closure and are pre warned to take an alternative route, imagine doing it on the sly and an ambulance turns up at the end on a way to an accident so then has to back track to find a way round so is then too late to save the person it was sent too......

    Yes you will have to contact your local Highway agency office and get the required forms to get permission granted, £360 around here. You'd be required to put up mandatory pre warning boards a week before then the day before submit another form before closing off the road and placing a fully signed diversion from both directions then inform them once again when the road is re opened, my quote from a local tm company to do this was £2100. I find it crazy that the it's so expensive to do things properly

    Typical, just ordered a bunch of stuff off Lawrence and asked about these, would have added it to the order if I'd known you were taking pre orders.

    Don't think I want to know why you had this image readily to hand [emoji848]

    Car in 2nd picture looks a little different to what it should

    Have you got them in stock now as really don't like this little carving bar it's come with, zero kick back but if it's run tight it gets very hot and run it slack it's off the tip every 5 min topping conifer. Will give you or Lawrence a call tomorrow about it and a few others bars I could do with.

    From what I hear stick with genuine blades from either fuelwood or ac price as the after market tend to chip out badly rather than get dull and just need a quick touch up.

    Could Have done with that on the little bobcat last week as its a bit wobbly at full reach at the side feeding the chipper

    Definitely a poor do if your after climbing kit, probably saving up for stand fees at the apf in September I can see the Arb show going every other year to not coincide with the apf.

    Something like a greenmech 1928 on a turntable mounted on frame that you could role on and off would make it very handy being able to work both sides
  15. Gray git
    Blown over, cut up but still refusing to give up.
  16. Gray git
    Greenmech do one that's intended to go on an avant/ skidstear or such like

    Get a safe block as well as it changes the way you can rig and how the crew can work, hardly use blocks now except on big trunks being heavily dropped.
  18. Gray git
    Few suspension changes like the biggest anti role bar you can find, uprated shocks and wider tyres help quite a bit but like Mike said driving style has a lot to do with it.

    Just fitted one to my landy for exactly same reasons, that and it's eaten 4 lift pumps in less than 2 years, renewed all fuel lines and now runs much better and they say the electric pumps are far more reliable than mechanical ones.

    Yes you want a ignition live and yes that is the best one your looking at using, don't scotch lock it on as they are terrible things to be using and will be the weak link for sure. It should be a push on connector at the ignition module end or possibly a nut and eye so just crimp on a eye if it is and fit to this or if its a push on snip the existing off and crimp a new one onto the two wires.

    Seen some of your video's on YouTube and the tractor with saw grab on looks a fantastic bit of equipment and the big bandit definitely seems to clear some serious amount of material fast.

    Anyone swapped the tiny bar on the t525 to something more convenient yet

    Really wish I'd been able to attend but a hospital appointment with my son ment it just wasn't possible. Thanks for posting up a review.
  24. Gray git
    Less than 4 min on my own, quicker with someone to help guide the pipes in.

    Why thank you, I presume you mean the one picture I took a not all the others you took [emoji12]
