    There is no way in the world that a 10 tonne tracked machine will have any effect on anything 12m underground. Any forces will be dissipated through the soil in the first couple of metres max.

    Backflip with a pike, easy peasy!

    Not strictly for this thread as fortunately nothing broke - total brain-fart... (Tramampolines are amazingly strong!!!)

    Timber handling is hard on kit and will find all of the weak-points!

    What sort of chipper is it? Can the drawbar or hopper be easily removed to reduce overall dimensions?

    By that logic the only way the hornbeams will come out is if the sycamores stay. I think you know what to do...

    How well do you get on with neighbour 3?

    If you have the agreement to fell the trees you actually want felling then get them felled before submitting another application would be my advice.

    His back ring is designed to take a load, and is rated highly on Grinder...

    I heard the term ‘Cisgender’ for the first time last week, and had to google it. I’ve since heard it twice more and am confused as to why we need this apparently new term?...

    Nice looking setup! Out of interest what sort of price is a trailer like that new/used in Denmark?

    Not sure if GM still do the narrow 1623 safetrak but that is an incredibly versatile machine in terms of where it will go (amazingly narrow when wound right in, ridiculously capable on hills and side-slopes). Until I had a safetrak I honestly considered tracked chippers a waste of time - they generally can’t get anywhere a quad can’t tow a wheeled chipper, and when they do run out of capability they are either very stuck or on their side... Get a safetrak and make loads more money, it will transform how you approach jobs!

    Greenmech 1928 Safetrac. Any other tracked chipper is miles behind if the reason for having it on tracks is to get it near the tree wherever that is!

    I think you are right. I bought it a few years ago on the back of this forum and everyone raving about them. We had a job that it seemed perfect for (it was) but I was left massively disappointed with the quality (for what is in reality a pretty basic cheaply-made fabrication). I really hope I just ended up with the only crap one they’ve made!

    My Stein is ok but certainly not amazing. Very heavy (which should be a good thing) but we’ve had to repair/straighten/strengthen the telescopic drawbar which kinked which was disappointing (as it’s only ever been loaded and pulled around by human beings). The paint and general finish was absolute shite from delivery - it was bought for a job and needed using immediately otherwise it would have been sent straight back for a refund tbh. However - it is a great concept and on the right job is a very good bit of kit. In many ways I’d rather support the people who came up with the idea over others who copy/profit. Hopefully Stein have sorted the quality control... If they are still crap then buy elsewhere though!!!

    1928 Safetracs are ridiculous in their ability to go pretty much anywhere if you know how to operate one. Superb design!

    Google Lincmaster - they make some decent stuff.

    There are also two sides to a story, and there are many reasons one person might assault another. There aren’t many ways to justify publicly slashing on a memorial though.

    He’s a brainless thug and locking him up to make an example of his actions is the right thing to do imo. Why the serious assault didn’t receive a custodial sentence is the problem, not the firmness shown to Banks.
  20. monkeybusiness
    You’re not wrong - they should both be jailed.
  21. monkeybusiness
    They are really fragile - transport them carefully (I’ve broken them through general ham-fistedness before now). Their fragility does offer poetic justice though!
  22. monkeybusiness
    Definitely fitted with clean mounting faces?

    A mate got a cheap 3 phase four-poster and has done away with the electrics and just plugs it into a tractor spool to lift. Works perfectly!

    I wonder if that's the same with the dedicated pole saws? It would make sense a multi system has the motor in the base unit but you'd get greater efficiency according a shaft. That would explain the mistake of the using the pro tools? That’s what I’m getting confused with - I’m sure that the dedicated pole saws have the motor in the head and the base simply holds the batteries.
  25. monkeybusiness
    Hopefully not!
