Looks good. However, RPA/Root Damage-Compaction

Yep lee, your not showing your sevices off or promoting confidence in it being so negative......

Thats not really true, the air spade is a far superior product in every aspect, safety being one of them, Infact the too products are worlds apart. The soil pick was developed with one nozzle style, to remove soil in the most efficent method (fastest) for utilities projects. The developers of the air spade spent a vast amount of money developing the nozzel range for a number of applications arboriculture being one of them. I started out with a soil pick/wand as they were known, after trials between this and the air spade when it was introduced we relegated the soil pick, IMO it has no place in the arb world. The ideal solution for our industry would be an air spade with a 165 cfm compressor, not the stated 185 cfm comp as stated in the manuals. This gives enough air flow to dislodge clay type soil but leaviong enough control to work in and around fine root structures.

The air spade has a specially machined nozzel which changes the airflow in such a way that roots are not oblitarated.

Think APD group are your best bet or direct from the states as we did.

As an ex owner/user of both instruments the terravent should be IMO relegated to the cupboard or museum. Just to let you know a Czech company is having a pop at recreating a terravent style system that adds plenty of extras and takes away all the negatives, should be interesting !

How many loads ?

Also going to watch with keen eyes..... How about approved consultants scheme as well ?

Not going to argue with you tony. However, i could rattle off a number of woodlands within my local area that have been well managed etc until a woodland tpo was placed they are now overgrown with laurel (no saplings anymore and affecting established trees) pathways overgrown and in many cases as they have to apply to do management works (extra costs) they are financially unviable and closed to the public as they are seen as hazard areas by worried land owners. What do the general public get now due to the LA placing a tpo, a closed off green mass that they cant enjoy

just tried it outside, well impressed

Anybody bought one of those Sony Sweep Panorama cameras, i got one today to try as we do panoramic shots all the time and hate stitching them together Will give it a try on site tomorrow and post the results.
