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.

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
Gray git replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Blown over, cut up but still refusing to give up.

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.
-
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.
-
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]

Finished of the big pines today, part picker, part climb 3 heavy loads of timber and a lot of grindings to load the lazy way.

Younger staff have better memories than me, asked and he remembered almost straight away. http://ashenplains.co.uk/

If I'm perfectly honest I'm struggling to find where it was nd what it was called, I'll see if the lad who came with us last year can remember tomorrow.
-
Few more dints but still earning its keep, was hoping to have a bit of a quiet spell to pull it apart and give it a good check over and revamp, not looking likely at the moment . Fair few different bits of gear since you were last in the yard that's for sure. Don't think I'm going to make the Arb show this year as got something else on that weekend that is out of my control. APF later in year will be a 2day trip for sure!

Also quickly made up this bracket and bolted it onto the chipper to make sharpening big saws a bit easier and at a comfortable hight.
-
Few taken by iron Mike on todays job removing some big corsicans And a good one from clearing some big pops yesterday, felled the tree along the woodland edge and lifted it over the fence and into the chipper with the forwarder.
