  1. It’s temperature at night that should dictate when you prune not time of year wait until all heavy frosts have passed heavy prune good mulch to feed it should go well
  2. I believe that they profit greatly from the sale of tools to replace the ones we have had stolen so why should they do anything
  3. Remember it’s in the interest of the manufacturer that they don’t make them hard to steal or sell on
  4. Well draining topsoil will make the trench a bog garden make sure the soil is compacted I would use a clay loam and don’t allow water to flow into the trench
  5. I would not drill holes the drill will smear the clay and they will fill up with water , I would put a layer of stone in the bottom then put in the trees packing them in well with a good natural loam not one of the manufactured shite topsoils that seem all the rage water pipe to the roots and try to leave the surface flat or slightly raised to shed the water, planted a few golf course like this they seem to survive educate the client about watering

    Battery saw

    Decided I need a battery saw so which one do I get thinking of a ms 200 with 12 inch bar. Any thoughts before splash the cash ? I liked the fine chain on the stihl
  7. It’s the reach that interests me
  8. I’m going to use it mainly for landscape with a tilt bucket, I liked the weight I’m going to tow with a Landy digs deeper than 216 with more reach, 125 looks too big for some of my works, I dig holes for gas governors
  9. Thinking about a Takeuchi 219 any thoughts or other suggestions
  10. I use similar chipper tow with defender 130
  11. They trade carry capacity on the truck for towing ability you need to look for a train mass of 7 tonnes
  12. You would need truck with 3500kg tow once trailer is added landrover transit type would struggle
  13. Here’s Merlin 13 1/2 stone and still thinks he’s a lap dog
  14. No I value experience over a college education, however my point is you don’t need experience or qualifications to buy a pickup and chainsaw and call yourself a arborist insured or not. Most home owners will go for the cheapest quote
  15. Too many arborist have never been to college or school buy a pickup and a chainsaw

    Plant Auction

    Just imagine what I did to a fibre optic cable with one
  22. Had one on demo, very heavy not really designed for anything but flat ground did notlike mud best on a building site where ground is hard cored, but a fantastic little crane, carried a full pack of block paving with ease no skip attachment everything has to be on pallets or in one tonne sacks crane doesn’t slew.
  23. He his here regular have a look at what’s on your bench

  25. Cormidi lifts about half tonne as loader
