    I would say that your house isn’t in any danger, but they are a bit of a mess. Fine habitat though!

    It’s very much like making love to a beautiful woman Mick.

    Echo 2511 hands down.

    Which part do you fancy Dean? Mr. Squirrel on here is often looking for climbers, he’s in WA.

    So they were there when you bought the house then. Pictures and tree species would help a lot. For instance 40-year old oaks won’t be a problem in your lifetime. Usual developer crap like poplar and goat willow might be.

    You’ve got that arse about face. Developers shouldn’t be allowed to build houses near trees. If the trees were there when you bought the house then sympathy to your situation will be low.

    About half way mate, so yes. You can flick the lumps forward by tilting the grab as well.

    Overloader.

    Sometimes it just all falls into place mate. I trust you had a good catch up!

    Of course! With my fabrication skills I would probably end up with something that would make the scrub taller!

    How would the self powered flail mower work backwards, so to speak? They are obviously designed to be pulled, not pushed. Or am I missing something?
  14. Mark Bolam
    @Dave Alviti recently put a vid up of a 1m flail on the Microbull thread. You’d need to go narrower for access, obviously, or detach the flail to get in the gates.

    How is he subsidised to produce bananas and pineapples? The supermarkets pay him to take their waste, it’s not subsidised. He does put the hours in, but he’s a multi millionaire.

    We all want more inches Big Lad! Marcs 230 was perfect here as we could shove it round with the loader in awkward spots. Cord was left on site, habitat piles! It’s a joy leaving 12” heavy in 6’ lengths and just stacking in the brambles! Mark Broadley’s Bandit would have got bogged, we can call in the bigger guns if we need them, but this wasn’t the site for it. Bigger chipper = bigger truck for me. Where does it end?!!!! Are you going to the APF?

    Andy my mate has a biodigester plant that all the big supermarkets tip at. As you say, the waste is literally criminal. He has a pretty good separation system, and a lot is bust up for cattle feed. The hoops he has to jump through are unreal though. He’s a farmer through and through, and is disgusted by the waste situation, although he knows he’d be daft to say no to the money.

    Another loader win today. Windblow job priced for 4 of us for 2 days, rinsed in an easy 2 with 2 of us and the loader. Multiple leylandii that had been in a paddock since Eunice, grass and bindweed grown through the brush etc. Would have been a nightmare pulling apart by hand. The WQ has it’s limitations power wise, but it’s still bloody amazing what it will do. Most grabbed, a few awkward bits pulled out with a short bull rope on the ball hitch.

    Nice lunge John.

    I have a similar photo of me felling in the Sahara Forest.
  21. Mark Bolam
    Do you not need to boil the rice first? I would have thought that would be bullet hard. Sounds tasty, mind.
  22. Mark Bolam
    It’s no wonder they fell off at the end.
  23. Mark Bolam
    Sorry Luke, bit late to the party, but Steve is your man.
  24. Mark Bolam
    We forgive you Sviatoslav! Fair play to you mate.
  25. Mark Bolam
    Where an earth do they keep that amount of guns? We genuinely have a struggle to store shoes for 3 kids.
