Spray with pistol now then with glyph through the year. Knotweed will continue to spread and is difficult to deal with when growing. Best sprayed in autumn when it's dying back for good control. Failing that dig it out or stem inject.

I've seen that machine and everything else they have. All good kit! Did some work for them last year too

I smell tinned ham

Its tomorrow, after a long wait. So, who's going then? Looking forward to it wanted to get on one of these for a while now

Peeing down in Irlam. Been on and off all day. Mainly on! Are gills available on the nhs?

The conifer looks like its roots have come up with it and smashed through the wall and the picture was from a news article with the way they are posing in front if it.

You can undo them when right but it's a case of working with both catches on it to let it slowly release cable back out. Slow process but does work. It would be painfully slow trying to winch a vehicle out with 6-8' of cable reach at a time.

As others have said, say they are going to have to wait as you have ongoing projects and you can get them in as soon as possible. Whether you give a confirmed date or provisional and confirm it closer to the time when you can guarantee the day is up to you. It's a good feeling knowing I've got a certain amount of work booked in ahead of me.

Hadn't forgotten. Just one of those things on the list! Will post it today for you! -
I had a fair size ash in a similar predicament. Rigged everything down on the opposite side of the gas tank. Luckily I could work in next doors garden to do this. You could use some pieces of ply over the top to protect the fragile bits. The tank itself is pretty tough.

I got one about 3 years ago for £20 off eBay. I've used it for pulling stumps out. Very limited cable length and the mechanism is fiddly but it works and has saved me a lot of effort.

What's the chassis like? Some surface rust on your crossmember there. Rest of it looks very straight! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Would a wild country rope man and some 8-10mm friction cord do the trick? Seems a very handy idea. Can add extra length for when things get a bit twisted. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I put it down to looking quickly and a small screen. Looking on a bigger screen I withdraw my first bad guess. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'll do a bit of an observation as I am coming across dozens of hazard beams in all shapes and sizes and near enough all are willow. Without seeing the trees before the failures, it would be difficult to ascertain the exact sweet spot. I'm finding lots of fairly fresh ones, most likely due to the recent winds. I'll start taking the camera out to get better pics of some of these and others I've come across. I have seen plenty potential hazard beams and some that have cracked slightly but since occluded. It's the strong upward curve in most willows that seems to attribute to the number of them that I'm finding, aswell as the readiness to fail. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Out on my travels. Seems willows are the most creative with their failures

Landy 110 60 plate on 48.5k. Doing what it does best down tracks and across fields tree surveying :tumbup:

Anything strong enough to get rid of brambles and nettles will annihilate the flowers underneath.

The PayPal one is £99. For the hassle it can save it would be a worthy investment. Very handy for being out and about. We have some proper chip and pin terminals and they aren't cheap. On site card payments. No need for cheques and no rushing to an ATM to Get cash.

Daft and irritating terminology used in this industry

'Can you just' is one I'm sure many of us are tired of -
Shutz it or get a gallon of waxoyl some thinner and a brush and throw it on. Spray it on if its warm and thin enough.
-
+1 on that

I have the aeris 45m and came from xtc so big jump! Weight is great and self tends through my lock jack much easier. Works very well with mechanical kit. Very fast in a spider jack but I prefer the lock jack, would be interested to see how it is in a zigzag. I have been tempted to go to HC for a bit to see if I can get on with it. The only issue I can see with it is it's size, doing lots of ascending hurts my hands as I'm still getting used to the thickness compared to the xtc. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What's your budget?

If it's travelled a fair distance clear up hard surfaces even just blowing bits to a kerb edge or wall to make it look tidier its sawdust. You can't pick it all up. That's why it's great for flower beds
