  1. Evening all, are the little 9hp stump grinders any good at all..... i doubt it, and know horses for courses etc...... smallest i've seen is a 13hp which wasn't too bad for what it was..... can you get a 9 hp one and stick a 13hp engine on?? or are they different size cutting heads etc?? Cheers Chris
  2. As in an actual screen shot of the map?? I can see the tree's on it etc, just really struggling ready for giving up
  3. Hi there, Just a quick querie, if a customer has planted a small tree in there garden, not sure if it is a conservation area or not, but if it were a conservation area would then need permission to remove it or could the go ahead and just have it removed..... tree in question is some sort of ornamental pine about 12-14ft tall approx 4" dia Cheers If anyone can point me in the direction of some information showing inclusions and exclusions of conservation area's etc that would be appreciated
  4. WOW 20.00 lol I hope there are some links
  5. manditory documents, scale graph/drawing ?? How come you have to submit one of these if you have told them the postcode and house name etc?? where do you get these etc?? struggling as said before this is my first application so be gentle lol
  6. Hi there, i've been looking at stump grinders and was hoping to purchase one in the not to distant future only been looking for a 13hp one that can fit most places (narrow access), have seen a few in action and think theyre ok for what they are, horses for courses budget under 2k no more..... ideally up to 1600ish i know this limits my options but ive seen a few at this price if not slightly less in an ideal world it would be self propelled with a brake and on a turn table but we can't have everything So i've exhausted ebay..... where are they all hiding?? Cheers Chris
