  1. That’s what I thought. No rain since I did it before the last two weeks.
  2. Driving and towing entitlements are important too. The more and bigger the better.
  3. I think you could piss £25k, I’d say nearer £30k.
  4. They obviously haven’t read the memo then Dan.
  5. Mate just sent me a pic of his willow we repollarded back to bare bones on June 11th.
  6. Wordle 1,508 3/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  7. Thinking how do to get the job done in the quickest time. That takes experience. You sound like a pretty switched on bloke, and the ag background means you’ll be a pretty practical sort. You’ll pick it up pretty quick. As others have said though if you’re chasing really decent money do something else.
  8. I’d second that Jules. The only one I’ve ever done turned its toes up within a year. Luckily (?) we got to it before it was too crispy. I had a better day than my groundy. Two points of note. The brushwood produced a ridiculous amount of chip compared to the size of the tree. Everything was really heavy, brush and cord. Made a couple of nice stools from it. I’d charge at least double for another one.
  9. A lot depends on what your core work will be. If you’re regularly killing big rows of connies the bigger the better. Standard garden works any hydraulic chipper will make you smile after using a gravity fed.
  10. Nothing really, the 160 replaced the 125. No back-up recoil start. I’ve had both from new, and the 160 always seemed to be a tad more efficient. I think TW uprated it to 6” rather than 5”, but that is busting it’s nuts at the very limit. The 230 is a genuine 6” beast and is probably twice as productive.
  11. They aren’t Mick, for a reason. Cheaper than a 230 though. A lot of 150’s are a bit long in the tooth now.
  12. A second hand TW 160 will probably suit your needs pretty well.
  13. They were excellent with my Transit mate, and I know @Treetom15 was very pleased with his 4x4 conversion.
  14. Kirklands in Stoke are very good if that’s not too far?

  22. They are parasites Dan. The sooner the public realise this the better.

  25. I used to Rich, but apparently it’s a bit of a no-no now. Duck oil for me, Joe is spot on. Kram how an earth do you clean a saw properly without a compressor?
