Do you know what this is? It's at the bottom of a sick looking oak tree, the black mess is like a wet goo that stinks Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

I think it was Ray who said no to buying the machine off me yesterday. Real pain in the arse as new chipper comes today and forst should have been sold last week to release funds but now got to go through the advertising and tyre kicking rigmarole. I seem to get the impression that we have a north south division in service quality and a quality directly related to quantity, if you have multiple machines and are likely to want more you receive A* if your a smaller 1 machine owner operator who is likely to get 1 machine ever 4-5 years your out of luck What gets me boiling is its a real good machine to use with plenty of throughput and ability just with some fundamental flaws. I should also add it took nearly a year and quite a lot of chasing for them to actually get round to collecting the machine to sort out the bodywork and it was finally another problem which pushed it into a reaction. 3 year warranty means the machine should be free from manufacturers defects for 3 years not we will fix it for 3years for you then your on your own!

Really wish I could say the same for them, my st8 has been with them since 26 June that's now over 10 weeks for repair and new paint work and nearly every week I was promised it back and it never materialised back which is pathetic considering they were going to send 2 lads up to do the work and swap pannals at my yard in 1 day but decided since the stress control needed resetting it was better to do it at the factory. We were given a courtesy machine but had two breakdowns on that where we have lost time. I have now decided to buy another brand and this week after being fobbed off again with we don't know when it will be ready and so loosing a private sale of the machine as the lad wanted a machine ASAP I asked if redwood wanted to make me a offer on the machine to be basically told no we don't want it. So if you're interested in a 2 year old st8 with around 400hrs on it that's had a full factory rebuild so apparently will be like a brand new machine but at a decent discount keep your eyes on arbtrader as WHEN it comes back I'll be putting it on there or give me a call.

I'm just happy the app is working well again but the post count is seemingly down at the moment. It'll go back up in September when all the new year collage lot start asking if they should get red or black trousers or is a white helmet for supervisors only all over again [emoji43][emoji43] Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Didn't bother replying as I'm miles away but hey if you wanted to collect you should have said will to travel xxxx number of miles. Anyway what did you carve in the end? Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Thought the little mower was going to cop it! That'll have saved you some time on getting the job done. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Lot of very sickly looking roadside trees around us mostly ash and sycamore which I think could have been a result of excessive salt over a period of harsh winters, I think I have taken out more mature dead trees this year than normal but with no one visible obvious connection.

Tracked 1 was a little temprimental but once used to the controls it was very good at getting onto the canopies of the limes and reached the upper extremities no problem also 1 of the few that would set up on the slopes of the field. The wagon was like riding a magic carpet with hardly any boom flex or sway and with the cage being so big and having a 600kg work capacity made life very easy and smooth.

Feet roller bracket bolt sheared on chipper again today but at least local fitter had 1 in stock so was able to get us up and running fairly fast [emoji106] Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Bit of a platform fest the last two weeks with a 32m tracked in to crown clean and deadwood a large amount of limes on a school field then this beast in to remove a very dead unstable chestnut over a relay station, didn't need the hight just the 24m outreach [emoji43] Then a nice simple winch out some stumps from a boggy ditch so anew culvert can be fitted Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Just ordered a new 90 so looking forward to that coming soon but used a 990 a few times and it's truly amazing for such a compact, be it large compact machine what it'll eat with ease and speed. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

First few picks looked tiny till they were dropped next to the chipper, very nicely done job and really good video work on the 1. Also like the chipper, beast of a machine! is that a recent upgrade as in another video they had a orange 75 or 90. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232447745248 This 1, looks a good conversion. Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

The rb is still doing me proud and working hard for her keep, an acquired taste these old trucks but simple to keep going so suits me well as can sort most stuff myself. Keep the pictures coming as you add more to her! Sent from my F8331 using Arbtalk mobile app

Bit of a call-out from yesterday, half the tree peeled out overnight and the decision was taken to get the rest down while we had the road closed. that's my 390 and 28"bar for scale. new brash daggers getting to grips with the chipper Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
