Everybody knows you dont need to be safe at home. You can forget all that h&S stuff when it means spending your own money. Make do and mend at home and rely on common sense, but thats where it all falls down because they have trained common sense out of them. My brother is a healthy and safety officer if he can dig up enough problems he can go days with out lifting a spanner or breaking in to a sweat. Health and safety succeeds where scargil failed.

green mech still make the same model so all details including owners manual is on line.

yes I think transit can tow 2000 kg so easily. They tow really well very stable on the motorway.

urgently need Chestnut coppice for a client
gensetsteve replied to Joy Yeomans's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
You could ask chestnut on here but not seen a post for years. -
It is big but the shredder folds when transported but could see on a drive you would be stood in a flower bed on occassions. Also you cant run the chipper with the shredder folded up. Its heavy to at about 1200kg so need old fart licence to tow it. Part of the reason its heavy I think it feels well made.
-
The blades in the chipper are completely seperate to the shredder. I think there is 4 in the chipper and 22 in the shredder. They can be sharpened and when one side is blunt can be turned round 3 times. Only used it for about 20 mins so far so cant report much. The speed of the chipper frightened me when I first used it not had a chipper for about 10 years they have improved alot.

Possibly looking for some poplar to make kindling in hampshire
gensetsteve replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
Still interested in any poplar cordwood, nearer to Andover the better. Ifor Trailer loads or 8 wheeler loads. -
Yes 22 of them

what did you feel would be the problems. May be able to answer already.

So what would you list as common sense rules to apply. Maybe a list would stop people getting ill and less likely to bring it to the attention of the clip board brigade. 1. ensure you work up wind of the chipper 2. empty the tipper that day. 3 wear a mask if its dusty or you are turning over a heap. 4. If you feel ill always wear a mask go to the doc if you feel ill.

You can charge what you like your self employed. The idea is to have some profit left to live on, not supply rich stock brockers and bankers with cheap fuel. Small logs = more work, more fuel, more saw dust, and more in the bag as it fills the gaps they know this thats why they ask for it.

Just bought a green mech ecocombi 150 . Not had a chance to use it properly with birds nesting but in the autumn it will have its work cut out. The bits I have tried its superb has chipper and shredder in one machine. We have alot more bush than timber so went or this machine about 10 years old 4k

The spores must be active most at a certain stage. Otherwise people would be dropping like flies as the walk through woodlands ect. These big recycling centres must be on top of these problems and have systems in place to deal with it. The other thing to watch out for around grains stores and water is weals disease very similar symptoms.

ring them to 6 in and drop them off with a free silverline hand axe. Granny logs are a pita.

This is not something I would consider normally. I am well versed in asbestos but a harmless natural organic material like chip ? . I have just bought a large 35hp chipper shredder for use around my garden so appreciate the heads up maybe this should be a sticky.
-
I dont think there is much wrong with the price I think its the way you put it on paper.Out of your £500 I bet there was £100 on fuel wear and tear. When you get back to the yard you have to unload and clean up so not much else will get done that day except log a few of those rings.

Have you tried an air mass meter if you have fitted a new one get it checked to see if its working.
-
Sometimes you achieve more doing what you fancy doing rather than what you should be doing. If I get too much work booked in I dont have time to earn proper money

3 cu metres to be legal 5 cube will give about 2.5 tonnes on a wet day.

How young do you start training them
gensetsteve replied to Dean Lofthouse's topic in Training & education
Young but dont let them out your sight -
I thought the d22 came out on a 52 plate and was called the navarra ? but I am probably wrong I bought a new one in 2002.
-
From the catalogue it did not look like there was much there. Was there any sawn softwood.

What ever job you do with experience you get a nose for how to do it best. You get this talent for creating a proffessional result. I am sure Vosa are no different they can spot an overloaded knackered transit double cab from 2 miles away.

Hi Tom Thanks for the offer from the comments above I think pop will be fine. Its just a case of making sure the local stuff works then getting 18 tonnes on a regular basis. -
Fish and guests go off after 3 days ( one of my mothers ) And first place I heard this one was log man nr Ludgershall about doing logs 'doing the unprofitable for the ungrateful '
