Does he screen it first and just rechip the oversize? Is there also a shredder in his yard? Can’t imagine chipping stuff ‘tree surgeons’ have tipped unchipped - a good way to wreck a machine quickly!
-
Didn’t know that, assumed it was brought in from a job and stacked. I saw another vid of an apparent site clearance they were chipping up and it looked a similar shitfest.

He comes across to me as a bit of a knob tbh. Total farmer-style brash-pile!

Sorry to hear that 😢

Risk of heave cherry tree removal?
monkeybusiness replied to tree removing sad man's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Have you had a drain survey? Cherry roots are very good at finding/exploiting leaks in drains, leading to blockages. This can lead to groundwater issues, which can in turn lead to foundation movement. But this is all highly circumspect! Taking the tree out in one go won’t cause any additional future problems. -
A bodyshop near me has this in, looks very straight, has obviously had some tidying up done but the bodywork hasn’t been done yet and appears to be all there. No idea about engine/price/anything really, just thought it relevant to this thread! RHD and I’m sure it’s for sale…

A dairy farmer near me also deals in maize silage, selling it to other farms in Cheshire. He has a big Valtra and an absolutely massive tri-axle silage trailer that he carts it about in. I have had it on good authority that he is regularly running around at over 60 tonnes gross(!!!).
-
16 tonnes. Lovely setup!

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
monkeybusiness replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
How close to ground level does the chestnut emerge? I wonder if its seed (and subsequent roots) were/are entangled with the alder and the two stems have grown up in contact with each other - the faster growing alder has subsequently engulfed the chestnut. I think you need to cut it down and show us some cross sections…….. (please don’t - it’s ace!!) -
I’d buy a Land Rover tipper and an Ifor tipping trailer before a mog if you have steep, awkward drives to access. More versatility, more capacity, cheaper to run/fix, much more adaptable. A mog is a massive compromise in pretty much everything it might be good at. If you need to winch a fallen tree out of a river and then carry the teaspoonful of woodchip to the top of the adjacent muddy hill then it can’t be beaten. In every other scenario there is probably a better solution.

Not sure what your budget is but look at this sexy bitch!!

And don’t skimp on the hard-facing (particularly at either end of the rotor). Great machines, I’ve done a lot of work with the exact-same mulcher.

A thread about depression, and people attack someone who has been very open historically about their own struggles with depression. Unbelievable - internet bullying ****************whittery at its finest.

Great looking truck!!! Dunno if this is of help/interest?
-
Yes - the hero understandably put the gun down (I’d imagine he didn’t want to get accidentally shot by the police) and the goat shagger unfortunately went and rearmed himself. I cannot believe the bravery shown by the guy who took the gun off the terrorist - absolutely incredible.
-
The guy with the world’s biggest bollocks taking the gun off the murdering coward is incredible. The rest of it is horrific.
-
Maybe worth considering through-drilling a couple (particularly if some have damaged threads now, which may be likely for the last few that let go) and replacing with longer bolts and visible nylocks that you’d at least be able to see?
-
Ah, ok. I’ve misunderstood - for some reason I thought it was a new machine. Once refitted will they be visible in operation? Might be an idea to put a line of paint across them if so to make it easy to keep an eye on.
-
I bet the next person it happens to could have now! I’d have thought critical bolts should be checked with a torque wrench at PDI? If there is nothing in the operator’s manual to suggest re-torquing at a set interval (which you subsequently haven’t done) then it looks like a manufacturing fault to me. Did someone forget to use thread lock during assembly possibly?
-
An apologetic mechanic or just a bag full of bolts?!
-
Is that the new machine?😢 Do Bandit offer decent support in France?
