  1. I never realised you were a homosexual. With hindsight it does make a lot of things make more sense though!
  2. Doing it on a busy weekend would be my only issue - can’t see a problem otherwise.
  3. We tow ours on GH94 trailers (they are practically made to measure for a Safetrak if you want something as compact as possible that you can leave the chipper on and still use it for chipping). We have also regularly stick them on a 12x6 Ifor tipper and they tow fine. Great chippers, have served me very well over the years. There are a few bits and pieces that can cause issues but everything is fixable and Greenmech are incredibly helpful. If you are ever stuck just phone the number on the serial plate and Jason will diagnose and talk you through a repair over the phone.
  4. I’m at a similar decision-making junction myself at present! If you find a good (ie cheap!) twinwall supplier please let me know….
  5. Have a look for a bloke called Bart Chipper Doctor (I think) - from his posts he is exactly who you need.
  6. Do it on a tonnage rate, extracted and stacked at roadside. Work out how many tonnes you think you could comfortably do in a day from the hardest/furthest part of the job, work out your day rate and do some maths to see what you need to charge. You’ll have good days and bad days, but it’s the fairest way for both parties.
  7. I had the same charger fail after minimal use. They are crap.
  8. Imagine how much money gets wasted on this sort of crap globally… In any other period in history this man-woman would be locked up in a padded cell, not preaching on about how climate change affects black people more than white people! Can’t believe he didn’t throw in a bit of Covid, and have a ‘free Palestine’ banner in the background for good measure! No wonder Trump smashed it (thank god!).

  9. Root protection areas can (and should!) be drawn to include physical barriers to roots. What you are proposing sounds sensible to me - a root barrier on one side 3m from a newly planted tree should have minimal/zero effect on its long term growth and stability (assuming the rest of the rooting area is unimpeded and of suitable material). The tree will ultimately grow to its environment. If in the future you wish to build on the other side of the root barrier the RPA should be drawn to include the root barrier, and the arboricultural method statement would include this detail as mitigation for what might otherwise be considered incursion into the RPA.
  10. I can’t believe the ridiculous responses to an employment advert - pretty disgusting behaviour IMO.
  11. They definitely have (assuming you’ve been taking them for the last 10 years or so)! X
  12. These are made by a friend of mine - very well made bits of kit.
