  1. An 8 inch chipper will fill the transit in minutes, what is the benefit ?
  2. Try atom hydraulics mark or Tom 01376 348889 pictures and an numbers would help they repaired mine a while ago
  3. Put it on your tractor and try it or at least try before you buy all chippers chip how well depends on many factors
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Bead of Weld along the edge then sharpen might take some time but little money
  7. Maybe try a duck anchor installed at the top into the bank will reduce the need for so much depth to the steels
  8. 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
  9. With at least a spare battery, gas axe is even better,
  10. 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
  11. 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

  14. 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?
  15. 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
  16. 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?
  17. Most sheet companies will size the sheets to your roof so 1 piece top to bottom you can get insulation bonded to the underside you can have the ridge folded to any size you need so go oversize and the then use foam fillers stuck with mastic to stop water blowing under a run of mastic along the drip line will stop run back and maybe go oversize on the gutter,, a line of felt along the bottom of the sheet will also help, if you use sheet make sure you drill through the ridge carefully not to crush the profile might be worth covering roof with ply or sterling board to give more support to the sheets
  18. My bc was happy with 6mm cement board round the stove
  19. Top 20s depending on spec it’s a lot of machine try Warwick ward in harlow
  20. You defiantly want counter weights zeroswing just to jumpy far better lift capacity on standard machine
  21. Had a go in the eurocomach which is now case thought it was very good but at a price defiantly a owner driver machine but loads of hydraulic power and option on three piece arm and not zero swing
  22. Had a go in the eurocomach which is now case thought it was very good but at a price defiantly a owner driver machine but loads of hydraulic power and option on three piece arm plus it’s not chinky unlike the CAT
