  1. Some people are time rich and cash poor I’ve been in that position if it works who are we to judge eighty pounds of unprocessed logs collected is a whole lot more than a bag
  2. Why does he take a bag of logs ? Surely he should get unprocessed logs to cut and split in his own time, this makes financial sense. A days labour for a truckload of unprocessed timber I think is cheap labour, he already has the gear
  3. Can’t enlarge picture not registered on other forum!
  4. Use a dryer log maybe or try to seal the moisture in and dry it slower showed it to the wife loves it but not green!
  5. Big Jenz shredders have had them for years cage drive to wheels powered from machine hydraulics radio controlled, don’t see caravan movers being much good unless on hard surface
  6. I have chipped with my bandit 90 into the back of a friends transit the chips hit the back of the cab and bounced back out, it’s happier filling a 7.5 tonne and is capable of filling much bigger,it wasn’t to slow filling a artic trailer why chip 8 inch logs when you can sell these for more than chip or at least dispose at no cost ,is the difference between the chippers that great on brash? they work well being loaded by grab but the time and labour saved with grab loading is lost on filling transit quickly and waiting for it to return
  7. An 8 inch chipper will fill the transit in minutes, what is the benefit ?
  8. Try atom hydraulics mark or Tom 01376 348889 pictures and an numbers would help they repaired mine a while ago
  9. Put it on your tractor and try it or at least try before you buy all chippers chip how well depends on many factors
  10. My 520 just manages to lift a bag if straight and rear weights on couldn’t lift a bag onto or off a vehicle, and don’t try turning
  11. It’s ok talking about tree planting but it misses the fact that there are too many people on this earth and no amount of rewinding,tree planting,etc is going to change that until we deal with the population problem we might as well not bother
  12. Bead of Weld along the edge then sharpen might take some time but little money
  13. Maybe try a duck anchor installed at the top into the bank will reduce the need for so much depth to the steels
  14. Don’t knock vibrate much easier and far more accurate, 1.2 m might not be enough need that into good quality clay 1.5 to 1.8 might be better pouring concrete underwater not a good idea, have you worked out the pressure on the wall research your sleepers a lot of the oak available are turkey and will not last underwater
  15. With at least a spare battery, gas axe is even better,
  16. Your risk assessment is easy just go through the job point out the dangers explain how you want it done you will have to supervise him continuously you can’t leave him to get on with it, ppe is more difficult as you should provide all that is required your method statement can be verbal at the start of the day you can get a signature but it means little
  17. Having done it it’s possible but few hoops to jump through get college to ensure he is trained in what you want him to do you are giving him experience not training check your insurance had to let mine know under 18 don’t let them drive unless has licence enjoy it mine we’re really good fun to have around
  18. Is bay a tree ? And not a shrub ? I take it we are talking Laura’s nobilis
  19. You can charge a collection fee and for storage
  20. Trim hedge properly.??? Cutting the same area many times undercutting the sides , is this a hedge looks like a single shrub to me pruned in the tesco style, I see ppe is optional, traveling style! Just what do you learn from this ? Did I miss something?
  21. Few questions 1 how much time do you have to move it 2 how will you move it, do you have a forklift,digger, or multiple people 3 what is it currently growing in pictures please try to clear surface vegetation 4 how thick is the base of the garage
  22. Hand cutting is a skill and needs time to master it will also wreak your body, are there any 65 year old hand cutters? And you don’t even earn enough to buy a house and pay into a mortgage plus needing a whole pile of expensive tickets and equipment , why would you?
