  1. At a guess rootball and tree to give a chance of survival are going to be 10 plus tonnes,you don’t get a lot of soil in a tonne with no preparation the rootball will need to be huge
  2. Forget the tree spade this is a Newman frame or box job yes it’s possible, but is it worth it, i would suggest 10 to 15 k to move well, and don’t forget the tidy up after. Nice idea but non starter
  3. Yep 40k and it won’t do any more than the one in your yard that’s paid for, plus it’s full of electrics,adblue,and shit plastic better stick with what you have
  4. Road plantings laid well to falls then rolled with the heaviest ride on vibrating roller until your backside is numb then another couple of hours
  5. I would suggest too well cared for they really responded to the attention you gave them by growing well, However they had little chance as soon as you left them on there own, with out a well established root system they had little chance in the heat/ dry temperatures, too much water makes then soft I think they are to far gone to recover and make a good tree, my advice would be to start again, perhaps use a pipe and place it as a ring about a quarter way up the roots then water into the pipe this will encourage the roots to grow down increasing the chance of survival if left for a while
  6. Being I’m a few thousand miles away my advice would be to up your watering two or three really good soaks each week, maybe a little feed and wait and see these have been taken out of a nice comfortable nursery and put in your hot dry windy yard,give them time and water.
  7. You will also need a supervisor course along with operatives

  9. Just remember the dust from the silica sand will rip your lungs wear a mask!!!!
  10. £80 more gets me a brand new one with warranty
  11. Speak to mark at Atom hydraulics in Braintree 01376 348889 think he will know
  12. If mine I would refer to the corner posts look at yours and those of at least a garden to either side, draw an imaginary line or a string if you can between them and see where the trunk and root plate end up. You might win or lose it’s a risk, or the existing line could be right it’s totally possible that there are two trees here growing in close proximity you are quite within your rights to remove anything on your side of the boundary, from the pictures that’s in my opinion most of that trunk. you should then I think offer to prune the remains trunk to reduce the possibility of wind throw, it’s a sycamore and will regrow quickly. It’s up to your neighbour if he take you up on the offer the possibility of this tree making old age is slight it’s not a good specimen/s
  13. Put one on your shovel best of both worlds a digger on tracks in a garden could get messy, pretty good on a pivot steer
  14. Put a finger bar on a tractor mounted hedge cutter much simpler
  15. Quite a lot of the oak sleepers sold here are turkey
  16. If you go to the local nature reserve they pile up logs just like you have and call them hibernacula, home for all sorts of bugs grubs etc, if you are really worried about these bugs and grubs maybe you should be using gas, oil or electricity rotate your log pile keep it dry, personally I enjoy finding what’s taken residence in my stack be they beetle butterfly’s, moths, spiders etc.
  17. Are you sure it’s fuel my money is on the alternator is it producing 240/ 110 volts
  18. We used one to collect grass mowings on cut and collect job saved a lot of journey time, just empty out at end of each shift really heat up if left.
  19. The pto runs the same way it just cuts on the opposite side of the mower ie if going foreward it cut at three o’clock in reverse it cuts at nine
  20. Have a look at RSL engineering at Watford got some interesting grabs
  21. Bought this non pedigree working cocker spaniel for£600.00 last week personally think that knowing the parents is far better than a pedigree
