  1. As i have heard through the grapevine, Jeff had enough, and decided to sell up while the going is good. I also think he has had enough of his staff sleeping in various hidden places around the county.
  2. Lampeter tree services have taken over.
  3. Birch Utilities here in west Wales
  4. Root damage when it was moved, not enough water post move.
  5. @Steve Bullman what has happened to Jared, he is there when i go to edit, but not when i post it.
  6. Back to more mundane matters, its sleepy time.
  7. It has been a pleasure to teach these two clowns. Both started with no experience, and both now competent enought that I don't have to worry about what they are doing. To keep them on their toes, and promote a bit of friendly rivalary, I film them felling decient trees to see who gets the most views. This round of videos has kept them bickering for weeks.
  8. If you are predominantly doing thinnings, then 6-9 tonne machine wil be ideal, it still amazes me what my 6 tonne machine will lift and squeeze through. If you are predominantly clear felling, then bigger is definitely better. Some woods local to me have been thinned with larger machines, and the damage to the retained trees is impressively bad.
  9. Stump Grinders By Laski UK| Industry-leading Stump Grinders LASKISTUMPGRINDERS.CO.UK Discover our full range of Laski stump grinders for effective tree stump removal. From pedestrian walk-behind to... Ben Burgess are pretty helpful
  10. I have been using my 300mm shear for spruce thinnings with the Doosan 6t (see latest video in 'some thing moving'). I wouldn't want to use anything smaller. The Doosan with the rotating grab for anything else if phenomenally productive.
  11. I've not seen Lawson's in good enough form to warrant milling, its always co or tri-dominate.
  12. It lasts longer than oak when in contact with the ground.
  13. Milling 6m Leylandii for a pole barn.
  14. Thinnings are almost becoming a pleasure, and no swearing .
