Pretty sure that's is for a set of panels and i think they are heavier duty, so I'm guessing slightly thicker than standard issue panels

We recommended retaining a big ash due to cavities suspected of being used by barn owls. The owner, unbeknown to me was somewhat of an expert, he agreed the tree stem should be retained but doubted that owls would continue to use the tree, they are very particular about nest sites apparently. You can see the multiple cavities in the stem on the right. Incidentally has anyone had any luck with nest boxes in barns? all i seam to get in mine are pigeons and doves.

Paint code is Ral 6001 if you are as sad as me!

i just use a single pallet fork or both for easier stumps. i did make up a single short hd tine which does a good job on the bigger stumps. i have the ripper to but finding the roots and pushing tine under and lifting up is much more effective than trying to push down and pull imo Just dug out half acre of blackthorn stumps, biggest was probably 14/16'' diameter. the ripper is ok for loosening hard soil but that's the only thing I've used it for.

wireless solar ip security camera recommendation?
shillo replied to shillo's topic in Stolen Equipment
I did look at the SpyPoint Link-S (4G) its £500 which seams to tick all the boxes but i thought there looked like a few other fairly easy options available but perhaps not -
You do hear of quite a few stump grinder engines needing replacing after wearing out. not sure if they have done loads of hours or are just not as good quality as diesel engines?

Just spent the night googling these cameras, as usual after googling stuff i am now more confused than ever. I want/need a security camera for a remote yard that is capable of sending images to my phone via 4g network upon motion detection. does anybody have any recommendations or a good company to talk to?

will the poorer quality petrol cause premature engine wear like it does on the saws? are there any 500+ hour petrol engined machines out there?

Brian james tipper is a lot lower. 60cm if i recall. Which is better for loading and stability but not so good for tipping logs etc as you have to take off the tail board, it does not swing downwards as it would push into the ground which leaves lights very vulnerable.

Cheap Chinese carburettors for the BR400 Blower
shillo replied to Arctostaphylos uva-ursi's topic in Maintenance help
i put a cheap chinese carb on my br600. It works now but does not idle or pick up as it used to, i might just need to have a fiddle -
Avant loaders have had a demolition robot about for a few years now.

Definitely blunt! Not sure if its all in my head but i feel it makes a lot of difference when they are needle sharp. I got a little steel sharpening template with mine.

"There was" it was right in the dz! It will reshoot though I'm sure of it. Recon i will have to resurrect this thread in a year or two!

There was one definitely (3'' at ground level, approximately 10m from base of parent tree, there was also one other which may have been a root sucker or may have been another much smaller stem (within 10cm of parent tree) i didn't have a good root about.
-
It is the same sample, getting a little desiccated now though! Sorry i thought the babies high chair would have given enough of a scale!

Whats a blacklight bulb?

I can cut you off a slab or two. Fancy a holiday in South Devon?

No i don't think it is Toxicodendron vernix. There was one of those on site and as i suggested in an earlier post the farmer who cut it up ended up in A&E. He assured me it was a different tree. the leaves were more radially arranged and a black resinous, Creasote like liquid was very evident under the bark, which caused all the blisters on the farmer.
-
A couple more photos. I am hoping it will coppice, there were a couple of root suckers popping up 2'' diameter.
-
The lump on the Avant was about 600kg. I have taken away all the wood. Do you want some?
