    Anybody have experience of owning a woodland in a town or city. A mature woodland has come up for sale in the local town which I am tempted to buy its just that the location could easily be used by drug addicts, prostitutes etc. Am I being paranoid.

    I have a Mac and have always used Quicken rather than the UK Quickbooks but they withdrew Quicken in 2004 and I now have to download direct from the US.

    Roots strike easier if you score the bark at the point where the branch is pinned to the ground.

    Ideal for burning in a sawdust stove to keep you warm in the winter.

    I have a great respect for all you climbers but this program has not done the profession any favours. The conclusion to the program should have been a professional climber with all the right safety gear climbing the tree and taking out the dead wood as originally highlighted in a safe and effective manner. Instead the public thinks that all tree surgeons carry ladders and those with the longest ladders do the tallest trees. They also glossed over the disposal of the tree when on the previous job the council had to clear his timber away. Another opportunity to show a professional outfit taking the logs away and chipping on site.

    We used to close gateways that were no longer required by layering from each side as a layered branch grew better on the compacted roadway.

    Had a hawthorn prick go through my bottom lip at 4pm by 8pm in A&E having the inside of my lip cut open to extract the thorn. Was told at the time if I had left it to the following day the blood poisoning could have killed me. My advice if it is swelling get to A&E ASAP.

    Sorry but the Environment agency do not make it that easy. You need the guidance notes to form WMAW 01 using the telephone numbers on the links below. http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/business/sectors/32777.aspx http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/business/sectors/40051.aspx

    Where has this been clarified as I have just spoken to EA in Sheffield regarding our CHP operation and so long as the tree surgeon is using our IBC containers and selling the woodchip direct to ourselves then a WCL is not required. The invoice to the customer will also declare that you have purchased the tree for a nominal figure and therefore you own the woodchip that has been produced so you are not disposing of the customers waste.

    What an epic read As a farmer I can see why so many have got their knickers in a twist. The legislation came out in 2006 as Agricultural Waste Exemptions but it has also caught the Arb industry. You will need Exemption 21 for Chipping, Exemption 30 for Burning upto 10 tonnes per day. Exemption 12 to turn your woodchip into compost and Exemption 5 if you want to put waste wood on your stove.

    WARNING this pdf is out of date new legislation came in on 15th May 2006 stopping all burning on site unless you have applied to the Environment Agency and received an (Exemption 30) registration farmers had until 15th May 2007 to apply for the exemption. Basically no Exemption 30 licence no 10 tonnes per day allowance to be burnt.

    It was the offside rearmost wheel. Hub shows no sign of wear to suggest loose wheelnuts. The trailer had already travelled from Bolton to Carlisle in the morning and this happened on the way back.

    Best arb incinerator I have seen so far. How many miles per tree you may ask

    Trailer approx 15 years old bought it 3 years ago from a large groundwork company which went bust and they had bought it new. Looking at the studs which are flush with the hubs it looks like metal fatigue so I am going to replace all the studs.
  16. renewablejohn
    Yes standard studs but on large horsebox type wheels not the smaller wheels you find on a lot of the newer Ifor plant trailers. It would have been a major pile up had I not been towing it with a 7.5 tonne truck. Thanks to a considerate lorry driver straddling 2 lanes with his hazards on we managed to control it safely onto the hard shoulder without anybody being injured or the loose wheel hitting anybody.

    I have an Ifor Williams twin axle plant trailer which threw a wheel off at 50mph on the motorway. Very disturbing but on close inspection all 4 wheel studs have sheared off. Is this common and if so should I replace the other wheel studs as they will all be the same age. The trailer at the time was carrying a Subaru Legacy so in real terms was well within the carrying capacity of the trailer.

    I always thought part of the "dual purpose " stipulated that it had to have a tow bar for hauling a trailer.

    Mr Ed Do you know where the nearest multione dealer is.
  20. renewablejohn
    Mr Ed Problem is I need a loader with cab to comply with health and safety and the multione only do a canvas cab
  21. renewablejohn
    Can answer my own question. According to Weidemann plgloaders have ceased trading and new Weidemann dealers are being appointed but none as yet. Apparently they do not want to sell direct from Germany.

    Mr Ed Output is determined by the speed of the chipper you can always add more trailers as trackside distances increase. Its the same with silage we have 2 to 4 trailers at hand depending on distance to be carted.
  23. renewablejohn
    Was that clear felled whole trees or brash as the output for whole trees should be higher than for brash. I am surprised you only had 2 trailers for that size machine I would have expected at least 3.
  24. renewablejohn
    In the same way you navigate tree stumps using a flail
  25. renewablejohn
    I was thinking more of a twin rotor tyre shredder mounted horizontally the bottom rotor as a pickup feed feeding a conveyor into the chipper.
