  1. Fair play, hard work blocking those monsters, not that I ever have! Bomb down big bits until you can fell
  2. They are not a fan of dead pine brash, it doesn't chip it very well and it sticks in the shoot. It's all to do with wood to light stuff ratio. There is no draft, just chip throw off the blades. Like anything there's a knack to it. Stick it in backwards helps and more often than not there's other greenery to be chipped you can mix. As for blunting the chiller, they will dull a blade quicker if it's lengths and lengths of stone dead hard stuff. Brilliant Chippers
  3. Wheel barrow!, skateboard, block of wood and a strap ,

  12. I tried that, nothing!! The hose is tiny inside, there's no way it can work efficiently in every corner of the tank! I also don't want to pull the filter off as I'll never get it back on!
  13. I've cleaned the tank out with fuel and still no oil. Any tips? Hoping its not the pump:(
  14. You can also hire a chainsaw for £50 a week, tree surgery prices are crazy! Oh ladders are cheap as chips too!!
  15. Fell it in a oner, winch it out the river!
