this will open that can of worms again but as far as i know if it is ag, you can drive one on a provisional liscence, maybe even when you are 16 on a tractor liscence, i had one when i was 16 and bombed about everywhere in an old massey.

spoke to a guy i know last night, he bought a 140k house 10years ago, his mortgage was about 80k. 4 years ago the house was valued at over 450k. that was the last time i spoke to him, since then he sold a plot in the back garden for 110k spent all of it, remortgaged the house. his mortgage is now 360k and he has run up 70k on credit cards. we had seen all the new cars and holidays he was having and just thought he was doing well for himself:scared1:

hi mick. i have never heard of taking down trees in stages to avoid heave, i dont even know what heave is. someone mentioned it the other day. if its cherry than the surface roots will be causing damage by now anyway. so i would say get it down and let someone sort the root problem. imo
