  1. That's awesome reg! Can you tow 2trailers over there? I've seen that some of the American states you can
  2. Ditto Scotts comments. clumpy and heavy Airstreams for me at the moment, won a pair of husqvarna technical extreme boots shortly after buying the meindls, as comfy as the airstreams but with higher ankle support. only worn a handfull of times as they're my "reserve" boots, seem good though, worth a look.
  3. Think of the habitat loss David nice work Pictures from today and yesterday. Not included, 60m spruce hedge topping, willow reduction, blue cedar fell, cherry fell, large hawthorn pollard, apple prune. Monday morning. After reduction and thin on a maple Before After birch and cherry fell tues morning Before cherry and oak reduction cherry done both done Beech reduction before after birch fell before after
  4. Bigger crabs on your nuts??
  5. Out of interest how much did you pay? is that an A62, and does it have telescopic boom?
  6. They do look good...
  7. Oh my Thats an awesome setup
  8. I believe some of the multione loaders have an oscillating central joint (think that's what it's called) which would be a big advantage on uneven ground
  9. Haha cheers Steve
  10. Little felling job, 7 pines felled one pruned. 2 men and the avant, about 5 hours. Nice bit of space to the side of the house, but phone line in the forest to mind. Rigging the top out of one leaning heavily over the house. Couldn't fell to the side as a phone line in the tree line. Last one to do after lunch (behind the main house. Knocking the tops out. Then ripped it over, avants winch redirected couldn't shift it, but the hilux could! saved having to rig the branches away over the roof and vent pipe. Stacked ready for collection Gone the next day!
  11. I've no experience of either. But IMO if you want to be as desirable as possible to sub out, the bigger the capacity the better considering weight and size isn't really an issue. The 1000 hours is a little off putting compared to the 500, but I still think capacity would win it for me
  12. You're single handily destroying arbrep's and Jensens credibility for me. Take a leaf out of the greenmech and timberwolfs excellent presence on the forum and be professional and helpfull cheeky banter is easily misinterpreted in written text
  13. Nice chipper grey git, how much more efficient do you think you'll be? 3yr warranty is great for a hard working machine! They're obviously confident in it. Let's not forget the 230 tw has its problems and I've read some have been recalled....
  14. Srt for access and maybe a bit of pruning on the way up then swap to ddrt
  15. Great kit Gray Git! I didn't think the tree looked that big until i saw the last pic with the person by the stem!
  16. Just get the mother in law to explain/book quotes in for when you get back then? When i had work done on the house one guy told me straight up that it'd be 3 weeks before he could come to look, it was fine for me as he was good at communicating/good reason.... he got the job in the end
  17. Thanks Ed and orchard
  18. You might be fully qualified after 28 days but itll take a few years under the wing of a good arborist before you're up to scratch IMO. Here (sweden) the HSE require you to have training suitable to the task no older than 5years, in the event of an accident they'll then look into the training you had to see if it was adequate, doesn't matter what country or language you took it in. It'd prob be easier to start a company with no experience or from scratch abroad rather than the UK as from my understanding/experience the UK has so much red tape/competition to contend with
  19. Not even 3 days old and working hard

    Hilux

    I had a f reg mk 3, indestructible! Made a cage for the back for green waste. 2.4 non turbo was fine with a 750kg timberwolf chipper but struggled with the bigger JBM at over a ton. That was in relatively flat east Anglia

    110 Tipper.

    Good work on rescuing the 110 tom
  22. I wish! Just cigaretts and housing (in the sticks like mine) are cheaper Thanks jay lee and mick
  23. The Greenmech is a great little chipper, good aggressive infeed. I like that the engine is covered.
  24. First new motor
  25. What does that weigh? how much will it lift?
