Yeah often wondered how this was achieved, other then the crate being dropped off to the customer like a vent bag and leaving it for them to deal with? Surely constant manipulation with pallet forks on a front loader or fork lift will quickly damage the crates? Or is there a simpler way other then a rotating pallet fork head?
-
So in the long run, IBC crates are the way forward in comparison to the m3 vent bags. Sure the initial outlay per IBC crate vs bag is greater, but if one is giving away extra timber in stretched vent bags this should pay for itself in one or two deliveries. Plus the IBC crate will get you more lifespan use then the average vent bag, and will not need to be replaced as frequently.

Yeah, another member on here gave me this info regarding the rules in Britian All burning of any kind of waste material here in ireland has been outlawed with hefty fines if caught out (since 2009 I think). Authorities may turn a blind eye on Halloween night though. Silly that green waste has been lumped in with domestic and commercial waste as well though.

Navan, burn up will be by night. ssshhhh! No worries mate.

Thanks dude, have to admit that even though it was only leylandii work, it was thoroughly enjoyable. I love seeing fast results. Never as easy as the look though. Kept snagging an old triple wire support in the bugger, and hit various bits of rubble dumped into the hedge over the years, old tiles, patio slabs etc. I'll know whats in store next time.

The old leylands seem to go pretty cheap as well, and make a great yard tractor.

the only Irish jobs that are ever showcased on here seem to involve conny bashing. A break from my mining job, and weekend nixer style for a work colleague (all the chainsaw work). Got a mate (with an old 3050 and 2140) in to help me draw the stuff to a burn up heap down the road. Rest of the clean up tomorrow.

Looks an interesting project John. Will you have her up and splitting for the winter?
-
Yeah nice work alright.
-
That looks well smart.

Very tidy finish Hodge, I'd be chuffed with it anyways. Some mother of a shelter belt.

Lovely little machine that, nice setup.

Sorry, my edit feature timed out. I've just checked those images I uploaded and they're completely illegible due to the compression ratio applied on here. Ill try a pdf format in a bit. -

Here's the scanned article (extracted from 'Earthmovers' no:12 April 2005) about the Skogserik processor boom I was referring to in my last post in this thread.

Never really thought about it, but you are right, not much inbetween, especially if you dont want to dedicate an entire machine to the application. This little video doesn't answer your question but is a slightly different type of de-limber in that it can pick up sticks as well. But needs a dedicated machine as you can see. There was an article about this particular jcb (could have been an 814) in an edition of excavator magazine some years ago.

plus where would my chainsaw nixer be then, work colleague not close mate hehe.
-
Thanks. Used to be the same here as well. Two many d**chebags using tractor tyres to start fires over here probably ruined it for us all.
-
Nah it doesn't work like that here bro. At best they might lope a few of the leaders that are close to the wire sections in this hedge and leave all the crap behind, and you'd have to wait 6 months for even that to happen. Even if there was tangled mess growing up through that mains you would be lucky to get a decent topping job done. These contractors rarely have a chipper with them. Its usually two old lads with 'gypo wands' as Ive heard them referred to on here and a pickup. Pity his hedge isn't across the water.
-
Yeah I was gonna ask about the UK laws and burning. We get away with the odd bonfire over here in the west of Ireland (but you can get fined if caught out), but this job is close to Dublin and I'd say the coppers could be on it quick. Plus this guy is surrounded by sown tillage, and I can't see him sacrificing his lovely lawn.
-
Thanks for the replies lads - I was really just after a ball park price.
-
No chipper here, tractor and trailer job for this one. Regardless, really just wondering how much the professional would quote for this work to be carried out.

A work colleague who buys some firewood off me asked me about removing this hedge for him. I work in a mine (mon-fri) and have no experience in pricing jobs like this. There are 40 in total about 3m high (4m to leader tips), 2m wide on average and at least 60m in length. He wants to pay me to cut the stuff down to stump and dispose of all the material. (he is dealing with the stumps himself). Obviously want to do this guy a mates rate, but How much would a job like this cost in the real world? Thanks Rowan.
