    Ngannou convincingly beat Fury - if Joshua beats him (and I think he will) Fury surely can’t run from him any more?

    It’s lucrative bullshit!

    He’d already given her a pearl necklace by the looks of it.

    Have you any photos of the tree from ground level with something in the pic to give scale? How close to the tree do you wish to build? How big is the house you wish to build?

    I don’t personally think the 12x rule is bad - it’s something that buildermorons can physically measure and it gives pretty decent protection (and is easy to police if the planners have the will to do so). The 12x rule gives a great deal of protection and future success to retained trees. (It is also fairly straightforward to justify offsetting/manipulating the rpa if the rooting environment doesn’t fit the ‘perfect circle’ basic calculation). I’d be concerned that if rpas end up ‘growing’ or becoming more complicated (ie more expensive) then there will be even more speculative felling than the current 5837 system forces (and it is already pretty bad!).

    Anything is possible! Where is this is probably the first question? What planning permission do you have/do you need? How much (in terms of actual monetary cost) do you value the tree?

    I think they were the same saws just running different gauge chains possibly?

    I’d be interested in details if no good for Ty please.

    Have had the OMEF tree shear on the big Takeuchi for a couple of weeks - one of the lads filmed it today. Great bit of kit, very productive!

    Looks like a hipster convention!

    Was there a connection to Greenmech in the past with these?

    Arborisk doubled my insurance after paying out for a stolen chipper. I had no choice but to move to Trust at the time.

    They are shredders, designed to handle a bit of contamination in the waste. Not very good at chipping, not very good at shredding. Get an actual chipper if you are at the stage of chucking money around.

    What do you want it for?

    I’ve just spent 3 hours driving home listening to radio 2 and have cried several times - very sad, such a brilliant dj who in reality has been in my conscience forever. The best broadcaster ever as far as I’m concerned.

    The UK is a total shithole now sadly - we share our amazing island with some of the worst human beings (at all levels of society) to exist anywhere on the planet. The amount of litter absolutely everywhere is massively depressing.

    I don’t have any experience of those shears but I’d imagine you will be on the limits of stability with a shear under a tilty on a 3 tonner (especially once you cut something!).

    Have a look at winchmax - they sell decent kit and are good to deal with.

    If you are pulling £1k a day profit out of you and £100k of kit I’d suggest sticking with what you do. (I suspect you are talking out of your arse though).
  22. monkeybusiness
    So you’ve got £100k of paid for kit and can clear £1k a day on your own work. But you want to wind it down a bit so instead you go out 5 days a week working for someone else and moan that you only earn £200 a day. Just do your own jobs for 1 day a week, (or if you want to be twice as rich as you are now then do your own jobs for 2 days a week)! I’m assuming your next industry isn’t going to be brain surgery?…

    I thought this thread was going to be about planes with holes in the side that also fall out of the sky of their own accord…

    These E27 Bobcats are very planted for their size and handle the weight well, but you do need to be sensible whilst operating (and keep your bum-sensor switched on!). Stack height isn’t a problem for grab work as it’s not dangle mount and the rotator is really powerful so you can manipulate stuff through all sorts of angles to get it where you need it. It also gives you more reach which is always useful! It isn’t the right tilty for that machine if starting from scratch though, and the build height isn’t helped by it being under a quickhitch (so can easily be removed). I had the tilty from another bigger machine and it made sense to use it on this one - I wouldn’t be without it now but I’d definitely go with a smaller model (and probably direct mount) if spec’ing one up for a machine of this size again.

    That Rototilt is for machines upto 6 tonnes and is HEAVY, I reckon you can knock at least 150kg off for it.
