Can anyone recommend a training provider, Hull/York area for maintenance, cross-cut and felling small trees? Thanks

I did my gassing ticket a few years ago and we were taught not to wear a resperator as you get a build up of condensation in the filter. But having done it both ways and having the headache and nausia without the mask I always use a mask now.

Saw this or something very similar at Dalby Forest years ago. It was cutting trees on a really steep slope.

we use pigs to clear the worst of our brambles. They rip up even the thickest stems to eat the roots and regrowth is minimal. They fertilize the ground as they work and you can eat them when they have finished

I have got ten 4m tall multistem birch (rootballed) coming next week and I was planning to use the platipus ground anchor to secure them. But at £50+ each I might have to think again. Has anybody used them? are they worth the outlay or is there a cheaper/better way?

Phoned Corwen "the guy that deals with Farmi is away this week you will have to try Monday" WHAT??? I know the part I want can't someone just get it of the shelf for me? "the guy you need to speak to is away til Monday" So I phoned M Large tree services in Ireland and the part was here in less than 24 hours

Anyone know who where my nearest farmi chipper dealer is (Hereford) I need a Hydraulic selector end linkage cap plastic thingy for a 160t chipper. Thanks

We have Tamworths in our woods. Got two breeding sows a couple of years ago and their third litter (10) will be going to planet zanussi next month. We got them in as bramble clearers and the bye product is great pork.

Yep we are going saturday

Alan Mitchell used to insist it was called "the dove tree" as they are too beautiful to be named after something you blow your nose on.

I have one from maplin you are welcome to borrow if you want (two prong type).

Had the unfortunate "pleasure" of working for someone who had a hater a good few years ago. I hated that machine with a passion. It would get slower as the day went on untill i cleaned off the belt and started the cycle again. Just seen your other post and would go Honda every time. Had a roller drive for 15+ years, full time contracting for the first 5, part time contracting for a few after that and still use for my lawn every weekend. Bomb proof.

Is it a newish one or an old one? the old ones were belt driven and the belt and pulley gets full of old grass. There is a plate underneath held with two bolts, remove the metel plate and clean off all the rust and dead grass should speed it up.

Sorry. Thought to be extinct until re-discoverd or pre-historic or fossil tree
