  1. If we are going home alone style seal up scaffold tubes then fill with old engine oil stops a grinder and oxy everytime
  2. What you do needs to be multi layer and subtle personally I would go for a lock box with the hinges shielded by thick steel then another door immediately inside heavy steel mesh and plywood that would give you time especially if the alarm was between the two doors then chains wheel clamps etc
  3. Lock boxes with multi layers of plate make life difficult for both grinders and oxy
  4. Portable oxy will make short work of it one cut through 40 MM of steel and your in
  5. You forgot multi stems are usually full of crap at the bottom
  6. Tried them still use drill and separate tap very brittle and won’t drill and tap much above 4mm thick
  7. Use a wire rope and duckbill anchor tension anchor and forget collect anchor once trunk has rotted have used them on river banks to stop logs floating of
  8. Don’t forget to give the tree a good prune to compensate for the root loss may be 30% of the branches, cut back some of the longer branches. Put some good soil in the pit I would use three guy ropes and make sure it’s well watered when you plant it to wash fines round the roots then keep well watered during the summer, if you can get a dustbin / wheelbarrow sized rootball or bigger it will have a good chance
  9. I believe that your only allowed to use approved accessories so if it isn’t made by the manufacturer you can’t use it. Look at the notices about the broggio cutting heads on clearing saws
  10. Having had experience of a HSE investigation if you kept your mouth shut they wouldn’t know if the saw was altered they only look for chain catcher, chain break, stop switch maintenance records, training and issued and signed for PPE they didn’t even start or run the saw. Personally I think I could have shown him a disc cutter and he would have been none the wiser

    Grass seed

    If your lawn is wet/ damp I would use sharp sand as a top dressing to get better drainage fork it in having first raked the lawn till it’s brown bit of slow release fertiliser and some seed, try to level with a lute or if big enough use a pallet don’t roll
  12. Does anyone know how fast a chain contacts after being used and buy how much it obviously is dependant on chain temp and atmospheric temp differences ? how long do you have between stopping cutting and saw bar damage?
  13. But wrong hertz is it soft start?
  14. Slightly different approach what is to stop you pollarding the poplar and reducing the leylandi hedge buy 50 to 75 % then felling less than 5 m3 each quarter till your done
  15. Yours are for a vehicle over 3.5 tonnes mam, under this no operators licence and tacho only when weight exceeds 3.5 tonnes ie towing, do you use tacho in your transit/ hilux?
  16. It’s been a very long day!!
  17. No you don’t have to use it unless you are over 3.5 tonnes train weight and over 100 kgs from home so until you put a trailer on don’t use it and if you are going more than 100 kgs with a trailer use it if you deliver goods for your business use it all the time
  18. Try uk power networks ask for the local surveyor giving them your post code
  19. Start by telling us where in the country you are this will then decide who your local power supplier is you can then get onto the line clearance ops
  20. Avant make a three point linkage it’s quite easy to adapt to Vermeer but given avant quite expensive buy a mounting plate and make your own a morning with a grinder and welder would probably do
  21. What is the benefit to using a battery saw ? Surely if you need to use it that much or continuously petrol is the way to go
  22. Risk and method statement for works
  23. You can get shafts made for acute angles we had one made for our alpine I think it was a double cardan.
  24. I have a Cormidi loader totally different machine, looked at a kanga but didn’t have lift or flow required and on demo it got stuck where our avant on wheels didnt !
  25. Try the micro bull depending on which size you are after
