  1. did you register the ex army lorry as an agri vehicle? how do you go about it? anyone else have experience of this, and running ag registered vehicles on the road? is there an agri/forestry catorgrey? what hoops do you have to jump through to get this? one of my farmer mates reckons you can only drive 10 miles away from youre yard on ag registered vehicles, and between youre land, but ive also read on here that its a 100km radius? also heard of ag registered with extended road use, can anyone explain? ive been on dvla, and emailed them last week regarding regestring an ex military vehicle for civillian use, but more specifically for ag/forestry work but waiting to hear back from them thanks

  3. reputation, word of mouth, more money than sence. weve recently done work in central london because of reputation/word of mouth, inc one day, 2 men deadwooding a 30ft acacia, and felling 2 6inch dia pines + extra traveling costs. made about a wheel barrow of chipping! ive dismantled a eucalyptus in devon-a mighty high price as 2 days was travelling!

  11. we're working at a site at the moment in a conservation area, name gives it away-'the old arboretum' some really nice trees inc an old mulberry which has fallen appart and continued growing, only about 15-20ft tall but a spread of about 20-25ft the builders were going to chuck all their waste on it and burn it!
  12. species dependant, last week took a green elm down, butt was approx 4.5ftx7ft and the hiab with a 3.3ton lift wouldnt lift it more than a foot, today done a sycamore, stem was approx 4ftx20ft and lifted it no prob what are the trees?
