nice job.. trailering laurel away instead of chipping saves you breathing in the bad stuff, is that a tippy trailer? bet its well useful.
-
did this little hedge a few weeks ago, lots of chip, used ladder in places to get a foothold between trees, took 2days..
-
we usually use some sturdy aluminium ones with a 3m high platform, or lean extension ladders against hedge, strop in and lean back.. loads of fun

have a look at the back of the transfer box on any landy, if its got a circular blanking plate bolted on then you can fit (easily) a power take off unit, however if you can find any units available please let me know.. i think the utility spec ones have a genny fitted to make electrickery..

whats that growing with the nettles in the last pic? -
i keep playing with the idea of fitting a pto driven chipper into the back of a 110, chipping into a trailer giving you (with a tonne weight unladen trailer) a possible chip capacity of 2.5tonnes, the area around the chipper could be built into enough handy tool lockers to carry a lot of essential kit. landrover dealer tell me the pto for the 2.4 engine isnt signed off yet so cannot be used yet but im pretty sure a 200tdi would be well up to the task..

there was a chap who got into trouble with council near me as he was keeping them in his front garden on nearby council house estate, do you have to own a field or some land or something?

subsistance means £5 everyday for sandwiches etc, taxman wrote to me a couple of years ago to let me know i was putting through a lot of car maintainance.. thats cos i was doing a lot of car maintainance (parts etc) it would have been more if id paid someone else to do it-idiots. then my accountant tells me he wants to adjust figures like put phonebill up and fuel/sandwiches down, so i wouldnt get investigated.. id rather the books were right if im investigated thanks
