Gray git

It's a truly massive oak and we were starting a heavy retrenchment of side limbs incorporating fracture pruning in places, removed deadwood and take out a few elongated leaders and vertical growths from old wounds, it's a ongoing project to try and retain the tree.

I'm with you on that 1, my finger has hovered a few times but will power and wife fear has stopped me. As you know I run a 14.5m on a landy which suits us as narrow set up for road works and has a decent reach without being to big and can tow a trailer. The tracked platform beechwood have is the 1 I would get if I went that way as gives decent hight and outreach. Single stick is fine if your on a dismantle but no good for pruning as gives no up and over reach. Used a 20m on a cabstar which was a good boom but useless unless on hard standing as could get stuck on a dog poo on a pavement... I don't think that any 1 boom and carrying option is the correct 1 for everyone, you need to know your business and what you do most regularly and gamble that it'll continue that way and except your still going to have to climb some things and hire in bigger/smaller/offroad/narrower occasionally and then sometimes still get I wrong, this is our landy and a 22m tracked with me having to use pole saw out of to get last bits as was to lazy to get harness on [emoji12]

A strong able bodied lad to push you around in a wheel chair by chance or a driver.... [emoji56]

That's going to take a while to get back to working condition. Love the fact the whole team made time for a group photo before taking you to hospital, wouldn't see a football team care as much [emoji12] and some have even started the 3rd half earlier!

Looks like my rb is exempt as K and so over 25 and landy will be next year as L reg.

Here you go, see what sort of Mark up they are or aren't making on it, gits promised to advertise my machine for me as a sorry for all hassle I've had and even that was a empty 1.

Buy it over here and get it shipped over for that sort of price difference!

Really like it, plenty of poke, easy to use, simple maintenance and belt tensioning, no more sliding engines back and trying to keep everything in line. 900 series Green teeth which seem to take a beating well but going to try a set of rayco super teeth as always rated them. Got a 40" across 8" high lime stump to do soon so that should give it a good test as everything I have ground so far has been within a single sweep diameter. Sometimes I really like is the tracking speed when crossing site, nice and quick so not burning fuel and time wandering behind it like an aged pensioner. Another nice little touch is the safety bar rises up as you drop the head so unlike most other machines it's not clattering of the stump or fences if your in close.

Shouldn't be a problem I'd only had a look at the lower hp one at the Arb show and didn't even bother with a demo as trust the brand so just called Dean and told him to get 1 ordered.

Yes. It is, it's a unimog one that came from Atkinson vos as they are about the most compact ones I could find that could still handle a decent hp.

Most new decent kit now has its own unique number already marked on making identification easy, for soft items tape marker pen and shrink wrap do nicely and hardware engraving lightly into the paint on a non load bearing place like the edge of the gate on a krab. Don't spray anything as this could affect an items strength. Just keep a simple record of all your stuff and when used/checked.

About the same money, they have a waiting list for a reason!

Apprentice getting to grips with the 8tonner last week

Zt is very good, where in Yorkshire are you Looked at the toro at the show and ground clearance looked a little low and wasn't sure how well the side swing head would work is space was a little tight like grinding in a corner.

We use mewp's lots as now we have a lot of experience with them getting positions right is fairly easy and owning 1 makes a big difference especially when it comes to the end of the day and chogging down stems. Climbing definitely has its place but being compatent enough to use both is like knowing when to cut and chuck and when to rig stuff when climbing, sometimes 1 is more effective than the other. Our picker which can also tow 3.5 ton so shift stuff away from site or fetch grinder. 34m tracked we had for a week which really speeded up deadwooding these massive limes. Large 38m wagon mount we use when a lot of outreach is needed We do get a lot of nasty trees to do and just find making use of these means I'm not knackered for the weekend with the kids. And after quite a few injuries hopefully prolonged my working life.

Isn't your quad chip advertised on redwoods site though? Almost though about seeing if you fancy doing a deal against a st8... [emoji6]

6x8" it's my old 222 that the engine died and trailer was fairly knackered so I cut it up and turned it into a pto, works really well but running it on a 150 hp tractor is a bit over the top, keep thinking about selling it but has sentimental value as its how I met the wife doing some contracting with it in around 2004.

We run it on a valtra that has a utch on the pto yes when I used 1 on a mog it too had a air clutch which ment the shafts could turn freely when disengaged, the overrun just gives the transmission some protection from the flywheel mass should you drop the rpm quickly, I got 1 not too expensive from local tractor dealers when I built the quick chip which isn't too big and just slipped onto the input splines on the gearbox.

Our farmi has a overrun clutch fitted with a shear bolt in as well which you can just see in. Behind the guard in picture. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Sounds like something my day would be involved in! Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

No your in luck it's back in my yard looking like a brand new machine if you want to call in and make me a offer [emoji6], I thought the st8 was big compared to my quad chip but Sat next to the 90 it's tiny. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Link isn't working, don't think you can directly upload videos to arbtalk but need to upload using another platform like YouTube. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Definitely! How's massy going, new front shoes I see. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Ha haa, think we will leave her to security and sandwich stealing duties although she is quite good at dragging brash but normally in the wrong direction. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Unfortunately I don't need your services but would still like to say what a really fantastic setup you have and it's nice to hear a employer praising staff so highly a involving them in there machine setups, also 1 of the best written adverts I have read for a long time. Get some more photos up if you can. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app
