45 degrees is very steep, we cut quite a few bankings but they max out at around 38 degrees. Have been using Ferris mowers but trying a Scag this year as other contractors have told me that they are alot more stable on turns. For bankings as steep as you are looking at remote control mowers are your best shot. But as you say are expensive. Might be wrong, but I think Balmers GM have a used roboflail in their workshop. It might be on their hire fleet but well worth a phone call.

Hi John, I believe that your based somewhere near bolton? I run a garden maintenance business and wondered what type of material you deal with? (i know you dont want mushy compostable stuff) but how about brash from tree work and waste from hedge cutting? If either of the mentioned is usefull to you, could you please give me further information. Many thanks Nick

Thats a good suggestion about trying to find a tree firm in the area who would be willing to work together, so will prob ring round a couple of companies this week. I have the qualifications and used to work for a tree surgeon / landscaper but simply dont have enough of that kind of work to warrant spending thousands on a chipper and no space for a large trailer at the moment! I know that gardeners have a bad name for bodging tree work and doing work without the right qualifications and / or equiptment (even ive seen them), however I pride myself on the quality of work I do and anything that I cant do (i.e any airial work) or anything im not sure about, I always recommend a local company that I believe will do a good job for the customer.

Hi everyone, Last year I started a garden maintenance business based in Bolton, Lancs. All summer I have managed to dispose of waste at a local trade tip using my pickup and small trailer, however ive been asked by a few customers to do some more extensive work around their gardens which includes removing six large conifers. Therefore I was wondering if there was anyone that knows where I could rent a chipper locally or suggest anywhere I could pay for the waste to tipped (a friendly farmer). Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Nick
