Is there any treatment available for these trees?
dumper replied to eagles5769's topic in Tree health care
On a bank,on a busy street, power lines close by observable signs that they are compromised by a fungus, recent excavations nearby soil levels been altered and more worryingly they are in America land of the free and where they litigate for everything if they can make a buck! personally I would bite the bullet remove now replant with a nice good sized tree and know you had improved the future they will cost more to take down the longer you leave plus now you know there is a problem will your insurance cover you? -
I doubt a c85 will lift a full ibc no matter what the importer says. Talk to djb or molson for a demo well built loaders with a good undercarriage, if your thinking small look at the micro bull as well

If you use an air coil nail gun with un pointed stainless steel nails can make the job much easier nails from spotnails in South Wales

How are you going to stop it growing ?

Get a tracked predator in and make life easy

I run a 520 avant, a cmf 1500 Cormidi loader and a bi directional Antonio Carraro the cmf works as a loader and a dumper just change the body, a wheel loader will pull a small trailer and ger many places a tractor can’t it’s also possible to hire attachments for the loader . I find the tractor better at larger areas it’s more comfortable to pull the implement than push but for general work lifting moving soil and aggregate, levelling, pulling, augering, trenching, grass cutting the loaders win every time
-
You can road register a loader, it will be far more productive than a tractor and your back will benefit given the choice iwould get a loader, I have a wheeled loader tracked loader and compact tractor and if made to choose would get rid of the tractor first
-
Having driven your loader I can confirm your grapple is oversize for your loader its always a trade off between attachment capacity and ability of the loader to lift

I have a 35 year old stove believe it’s a county hitop, will there be any benefit in replacing with a new model, will I see more output or less fuel used, or am I better just leaving it

Have the definitive regulations regarding firewood?

Wood sold for purpose of combustion your not selling wood just labour and tools -
If it went on backwards wouldn’t the weight be more in the middle with the bucket over the tailgate

Had a short roadside discussion with Vosa before Christmas regarding loads in the back of my truck, they are now looking for bolted down lashing points inside the vehicle body not over the sides

Or put another way client buys the timber in the round or standing and pays to have it processed and delivered -

So what stops you giving your wood away and charging for the delivery? A reasonable business practice -
It’s a yes from me

£22,000 I pay my labourers more than that and all they do is get up and stand outside their house in the morning and have cscs card
-
So what is the deal hours,bonus,holiday,wage etc, always thought of Glendale and ground control etc as where you work if you can’t get a proper job,

But how have they got more power? By removing weight from engine components, increasing compression and bigger turbo running more boost, admittedly they have also tuned the engines better and they are more fuel efficient, but my recent experiences with Ford transit engines and new defender engines is that when they go wrong under warranty the dealers just exchange the engine, twice on my transit new engines have a very short working life I doubt you will see many of today's engines going to 250000 miles plus

MMMMMmmmmmmmm highly volatile petrol and a 12/240 volt sparky motor rather you than me, I’m told 5 litres of petrol goes up like a kilo of dynamite perhaps you could confirm this equation !! 200 litres / 5 = 40 x 2.2 ( kilo to lbs) = 88 lbs bomb
-
It’s not the warranty that’s a problem it’s the fiat uno they give you to replace it as a courtesy car for the 10 weeks it takes to fix
-
But the point is thrashing the arse out of a 2.0l engine or just tickling a 3.2 there is no replacement for displacement using the turbo to uprate the power is just asking for trouble down the line big lazy engines wlll go on for years
-
The closer you plant the better up to a point on a 2/1.5 m space the plants will soon start to shade out the grass and keep each other straight it also means less beating up required less mulch etc the trees will not be much thicker than a pencil the sooner you can stop maintaining the better but you will need to control the grass for first 4/5 years till they establish might be worth marking each tree with bamboo cane if your not going to use shelters or spirals

Wrong buy 5 litre vw they ARE the best tow vehicle available end of story
-
Think about turning circles of balers etc would plant closer trying to weave between trees with a disc mower is a recipe for disaster(for the trees) I know I've tried it I would still plant closer together and have bigger meadows you can always top up the planting later to cover more ground still think you need shrubs /hedging
-
I would plant at 2m spacing no understory planting chuck in a few Holly Scots pine, hawthorn wayfaring tree, dog rose,gulder rose and maybe some privet (good for moths) 600mm to 750 tall, Maybe even go to 1.5 if you space to far apart the time to when the trees shade out the grass will be years 10 plus As a guide use your mower width to space rows Far right plantation I would turn 90 degrees this will give areas of wind protection to the meadows which ever way the wind blows thinking about insects Don't forget the log piles even leave some haybales make good nests for grass snakes Don't mow all the grass see what the idiot did helps with reptiles and small mammals and inverts
