  1. Unusual species have you had a little dig around ? Got any time to prepare ? Would try to move in late spring if possible , have you worked out how big a crane you will need and method of access. Have you thought of boxing up and moving with bulldozer bigger rootball and cheaper
  2. Tree spade or hand dig? Soil type exposed or sheltered ?
  3. Quite a few years back I had policy with iron trades who covered tools everywhere, had van stolen in wales paid out on tools no problem, currently with aviva have refused tool cover wasn’t worth the expense only large capital items covered now
  4. Come over have a look see what you think, staff are in demand especially those who work,

    trunk damage

    Ride on lawn mower?,bit long for strimmer but my money is. On mechanical maybe poor handling before planting would be nice to see closeup pic
  7. Out of the three I would consider a greenmech back up is fantastic,although most of the parts should be available your side of the pond and they are bomb proof Canada is just a short boat ride away
  8. Not as good quality as Milwaukee ,Panasonic or bosch had a lot of problems with them on high drain tools , angle grinders and saws batteries kept dieing. Goood batteries talk between the tool and battery to manage heat charge and drain makita don’t seem to have this right. Used next to Milwaukee or bosch you will see the poorer run times,however there range of tools is big there back up is very good,and if you don’t have Any other makes to compare are perfectly good to use
  9. I have planted hedges for last 40 odd years one of the best was notched into the ground, and heavily mulched with old straw fenced with stock mesh to keep people and livestock away then beaten up twice, you can do a lot of planting for the cost of guards and stakes,if it’s really dry run a tanker down the line late in the day, I think lack of water kills many plants
  10. Shame they have the worst batteries
  11. New tines are not expensive
  12. Did one in Southampton last year charged us £24 / metre hire for one week including up and down for 160 metre plus large turning area and cleaning after use
  13. I have the faccom extractors they are good but not invincible, would try heat and welding as well

  15. If you had left it to die I think the tpo goes with it however you cut it whilst living, and then it died so you need to replace there are members on here who know far more than me wait and see if they respond
  16. Never heard of the place
  17. Where’s Staffordshire? Is it near Suffolk?
  18. I saw a borehole drilled by the m25 chalk went down over 250 m
  19. Set yourself up in business do trees and hedges and hire in climbers when needed
  20. Jensen a proper chipper MMmmmmmmmmm!!!!
  21. That’s 85 years old, although there are a few on here who could remember it’s publishing date is 1936 !
  22. When young every time you walk past sooner they are of the better
  23. You could make a brush for your skid then grab it, bit of rsj and a few broom heads and a Saturday afternoon
