Think I’d argue for removal there. The wall cannot be rebuilt further out and take up part of the highway. The wall will always be an issue. The roots on the cherry tree will always be ever expanding and spoil the structure again further down the line. Possible roots causing issues at the clients side also. tree could be retained with small reduction maybe and keep an eye on the union? But still wall issue. Not sensible nor feasible imo to be fair surely this tree has given its best and is no longer suitable for its location and it would be better to establish a new tree in a better location for future generations. Just my thoughts from a photo

I’d like a digger to be honest but not sure how much I’d use it. I come on here and see you lot talkig about model numbers then think i’ll leave it for now ? digger would be a digger to me unfortunately. If it fits budget/ semi clean and all works thats waht id look at

Spot on there Jim! -
I was curious to know what a 19-28 would be like as an upgrade from the 6" 35hp machines...... the Tw230dhb has a great opening for the feed rollers... is the 19-28 bigger and would it beat the tw230 on productivity. I dont think the tw230 is going to last as long as the older 150's did
-
They seem to be very handy money second hand as a road tow machine
-
Whats the 19-28 like?
-
Anywhere nearer Josh? Tr8 look good but too many horror stories for me to go for one
-
Has it finished now the 372/395 etc? Heard it was. didnt realise they were doing the 550 aswell.... i’ll be going back to a 261 anyhow for the next saw. Never had issue with my old one
-
I believe so but i never really pass the dealer much, just kept on going with my older saw and went out and purchased a second hand good con 201t non m tronic. Been flogging that to death since and its been fine.... doesnt always cut out at idle and the air filter cover stays on unlike the new ones.... my 550xpg sounds rough nowadays also, old 361 sounds as good as new
-
Dodgy fuel solenoid on a 2016 201tcm.... was piddled off with it so its been in bottom of box for a year... prefer the non mtronic stuff to be honest
-
Yes Josh the tw230 will wipe the floor with the a530 thus my pencil sharpener quote lol. I have both and not many like using the 530 with sloping hopper. The tw230 mashes everything but I worry about how long it will last. I would upgrade from the tw230 to something better made but what is there? Nothing
-
Id advise you look into forsts a lot further before taking a leap.... jensen have always been rediculous on new price. Do you regret selling the a530 now? surely cheaper to buy a 2-3 yr old a540? Think its hard to find something. In the 6-8” bracket that suits nowadays
-
Interested to see how it all pans out
-
People sold a pipe dream by bullshitters on internet ? plough your own furrow. buy what suits you and your business
-
You see a lot of people buying these big machines then constantly touting for work for them... like they had to have it but cant afford it or havent the work suited to it
-
Funny you should ask about this as i have been considering changing my tw230 tow behind and the pencil sharpener that is the a530t not sure what the best move would be.... probs go down to one chipper
-
Good luck Don, whats the crack with the foot then? Mines like that but been like that for years think was due to an accident i had. You must do a lot for Aspect

Hi there, Does anyone know of anywhere that runs a course on assisting fells and skidding with a tractor and winch. We have cs32 and know about assited fells etc but I want to further my knowledge with working more closely with machinery. May end up having to tagg along with an arbtalker for the day in the woods to watch and learn if cannot fond a course. If i can find someone to take me for the day ? Cheers Chris

I like the yellow jackets... hard wearing and good teeth. my vermeer came with the original pro? Teeth the ones like a parrots beak! Swapped them straight away for yellow jackets. Straight swap all bolt holes line up. Buy pockets and teeth direct from vermeer who i find good to deal with. You can go for green teeth and get 3 sides of the tooth if you want but to me a yellow jacket seems a tougher sturdier tooth (i have used both types in different grinders)
