  1. Sure was a nailbiter: 5 days play to get a result closer than most T20s.
  2. The weight difference is actually bigger than I thought: I was quoting for the M300 INT, which I have, and that's 145kg. The INT is no longer available; the straight M300 is 130kg. And my original maths was wrong; should have said 45kg difference, not 35kg. So.. CS100; 190kg M300; 130kg I'm sure weight isn't everything though.
  3. £4.5 + VAT give or take.
  4. The Jo Beau M300 is 35kg lighter than the CS100. I have no intention of starting a slanging match as I haven't seen the CS100 perform but 77lbs weight difference may mean something to you. To me it's the difference between being able to drag the chipper onto the pickup bed and not being able to, so I have the Jo Beau.
  5. Is that simply an infected shoot or something that could potentially be propagated like a sport?
  6. That's a silage cart!
  7. I'll defer to your expertise on the smell of sweaty maggots but the greenbottles were round the roots in numbers, presumably attracted by the foul stench.
  8. Hope this helps. They're dropping like flies: I took one down in Epping on Tuesday and the stump/roots were similar to yours and boy did they honk when ground. Robinia pseudoacacia ?Frisia? problems / Royal Horticultural Society

  10. When they're tipsy enough you can casually mention that now's the time to prune it; very gently with lots of small cuts, nothing big.
  11. The 2nd pic's telling me it's a Magnolia. I think. Or were you after the species more than the genus?
  12. What a surface. Are you concerned about it being slippery in the wet? Mr H&S me!
  13. Can't wait to be hand digging a pair of 3'x3'x3' holes in Epping tomorrow - after removing the small declining trees first. After the tree stuff PPE will be steel caps and sun cream.
  14. Bear in mind that the reg no. can be changed, the VIN no. almost certainly not. Think of them in similar terms to the IMEI and Calling Number of your mobile. Jon
  15. Does Aspen work too?!
  16. Sticky Stuff Remover from Lakeland Plastics works well and leaves you smelling lovely afterwards (lemon).
  17. Evening Graham. I'd love to help but this is an old thread! Maybe someone else in the Surrey/Kent/Sussex/S.London area can help...
  18. Fair point but 'twasn't me guv. The dusty pic looks worse than it was for the cutter; it wasn't bl;owing in his face but when you take hours of cutting into consideration, done day after day yeah, you're probably right. Jon
  19. Yeah regia is the common one but cinerea has the alternative name of 'white'.
  20. Because they think walnut is walnut maybe. Isn't a good specimen of white worth more than a poor one of black? I don't know... By 'white' do you mean J. regia or cinerea?
  21. Just flogged a freshly ringed up 20' x 18" leyland stem for £50 for use on a grass verge as Chelsea Tractor traps. The road's about 300 yards long; I may have found a new sideline!
  22. ...and shiny tipper conversion for easy unloading
  23. Oops; just spotted that my Garrya guess was from a second shot of the specimen. Having now seen the first I withdraw! It's all too confusing...
  24. Thanks. I used to clip the nuts off it to try to stop it impinging on the luvverly laurel/privet hedge and then I saw the error of my ways. The bees love it; every time one lands on a flower there's a small shower of flower fragments.
