  4. so need to plant four largish trees near a newly built wall(not right next to it) and am thinking root deflectors to divert the roots downwards to give better chance of tap root growth and less surface root, anyone know of a decent supplier of these? mainly used for street planting usually, cheers
  5. for my pennies worth, i have been actively doing tree work for over 25 yrs, and for the first 18 ran a second hand gravely 944 pro chip, it was a beast of a machine, heavy as f.k but so fixable it was like an old car, easy to get at, new starter motor, new radiator, it was like triggers broom, in fact only sold it to some one I know you was starting up and still using it today,,and I see him weekly,still happy, I then bought a diesel forst st6, second hand, and its been ok, wiring loom melted, leaky hydraulic faulty tank weld( that`s a first)etc nothing a good old £2k service couldnt solve lol, moral of the story is,, nothing is perfect, different machines suit different people applications etc, and at the end of the day, you really do need to set some money aside and acept that at some point that chipper you`ve thrashed or not will need replacing at some point,
  6. £250 a week? that seems a third of the cost of round us.lucky you
  7. wow thats steep,(festool prices lol) I`,d want it to mill my wood too for that
  8. Drop me a message with what your after mate, my neck of the woods
  9. that's mould due to lack of air flow, sadly you`ll be very lucky if these don't develop a split sooner or later, but you never know,hopefully not
  10. I had the mafell one a few yrs ago, big mistake selling it,got nearly as much as I paid for it four yrs later, so quick, a good investment if your doing lots, hard to justify for a one off,?
  11. Borax will help. just make sure you have plenty of airflow around those boards,
