  1. As I seem to recall; you don't need a felling licence if the trees are classified as being in a garden. I don't think it matters if you are felling 5 trees or 55. I had this discussion a number of years ago with the FC. I guess the seller has convinced the Authorities that it really is a garden. However, pay to fell trees for the timber - not me
  2. Anyone out there got a copy of the manual. PDF or scanned would do. I have the kohler engine manual and the Rayco spare parts list; but not the actual instruction manual
  3. I noticed that the tree is still alive and is regularly trimmed back. I think it's become something of a local tourist attraction as it's situated in the botanical gardens
  4. Took this photo whilst on holiday last month in Dominica, west indies. Apparently, the tree fell down during a hurricane in 1979. These was nobody on the bus at the time, but it was a brand new bus and had only just been delivered.
  5. what price and age is the rayco?
  6. Appreciate anyones thoughts on this grinder. Thinking of getting one. can anyone recomment a better pedestrian grinder? Also, what is the differance between the sp2010 and the sp2000.
  7. I bought the 30 ton titan splitter. Can't fault it for around £1300. One or two leaks at first, buut touch wood, it's been splitting well for a while now. Only one handed use, so echo the thoughts of someone else, and don't let anyone elso use it. Engine based on a honda and very good. Does anyone know why titan don't sell them anymore? The original problems were soon sorted by titan but I struggled to get a VAT invoice from them. Still have not got it. Overall, quite satisfied with it
  8. Have no problems sharpening the blades. Father -in law is a joiner who has the jig. In 3 years have never had a problem. Is easier for me and cheaper than sending them away
  9. Sharpen my own with a bench grinder and a jig. Just above the line at the moment, but still chipping ok
  10. Am I right in thinking that I can sharpen my timberwolf blades right up to the line that runs above the writing GENUNINE TIMBERWOLF ? Does going right up to the line affect cutting performance? I'm talking about the the 4" blades with 3 bolt holes.
  11. I too was thinking about a bandit hb20. Surely someone out there must have experience of using one?
  12. Warning: dont use Glyphosate on stumps that are the same species as any adjacent remaining trees. From past experience it has the potential to kill these trees. Perhaps its due to the roots grafting together? Solely as a stump killer; Glyphosate works a treat. Paint it on a freshly cut stump and it won't come back.
