Check the serial numbers with the equipment register,
find out where the serial numbers are for your machine,
Timberwolf have a hidden one on the chip shoot flange

Hi all
We do alot of ragging out of bushes for our local council, usually this is the stuff you wouldn't want to chip, pyracantha, cotoneater, with a few small roots in and bits of rubbish.
Currently we just shove it all in a bin and green waste it which is expensive and you can't get a lot of volume in a bin and its a pita to load.
A quick google will find me a mahoosive shredder for 1000's of tonnes a hour or a daisy mincer for your back garden, and nothing in-between the timberwolf jobby is not big enough.
Is there something on the market which can be loaded by a 3-5 digger but easily transportable.
In my head I'm imagining a shredding machine with a belt feed, about 3-5tonne 200hp ideally conveyor eject so as not to atomize any nasties in the brush.
cheers
James

Maybe I’m a bit poverty but I use old horse feed sacks for ropes and find the bollard is big and ugly enough to not need sticking in a box

I see in my original post I said angle driver when I mean angle grinder.
Also as I said if you gently tap the dome head on the other side to the shear nut you can often onscrew with your fingers.
Failing that I used below 1/2" square drive with a static lump hammer on the dome head and the grip nut on the other. You have to sharpen the grip nuts with a dremel after use, @aspenarb's serrated socket looks better. Back then I didn't have a decent cordless impact driver
Cheers
spent many a hour trying to grind them off getting showered in sparks and measly putting grinder in face
looking forward to discovering a easier way

I have some 1/2" sockets with a reverse thread designed for taking nuts and studs out. I imagine with a decent cordless impact gun you could grip the nuts although I seem to recall the bolts will just turn if you try
Irwin Bolt Grip Nut Remover Set Expansion Set
WWW.TOOLSTATION.COM
Unique design that securely grips and removes stubborn nuts and bolts. Reverse spiral flutes bite down for maximum...Just bought a set of these for this purpose I’ll see how they go

Domestic work is essentially topping and gnome dodging
Big trees in small spaces want making smaller and there only one way, customers love to see big wounds and loads of tree going through that chipper, thow your dignity and morals through that chipper and ride it out
Glad i do very little domestic anymore

Tree plotting software?What are people using for a simple iphone/ipad desktop downloadable software?I don't do massively technical surveying as we farm that out to consultant but would be nice when doing site audits to be able to log trees and recommendations a bit more efficiently than scratching my head at photos hours later like I'm spending this evening doing.Looked at tree plotter which looked awesome but huge cost for a small outfit like mineCheersJames

You can get away with a transit and chipper if most of your work is small reductions or knocking the tops off conny hedges. They are not cost effective on tree removals or clearance work, the down time/ cost of a transit on turnaround no matter how close to a job racks up. There are a lot of guys out there running very expensive chippers capable of filling a transit to the brim in ten minutes, they then feck off from the job for an hour to empty it leaving their muckers behind scratching their nuts. I cant think of anything that drains the profit off a job quicker than inadequate clear up logistics.

Been saying this for years, never understand why people don't get trucks when there so cheap, trees are heavy like

Are they not air actuated on lorries
I know on both my dafs they are,
personally I’d crack one of them pipes just a little and see if any oils coming through and work back from there,
if electric tip check the solenoid is engaging with a metal key and manually override it
or get the multi meter out

Spent some time working with Christmas trees in my early 20’s
lot of trimming
lots of work
many didn’t meet the grade
we burnt a lot up the estate ended up buying a lot in
might plant a few cheapo potted ones down the yard this year just for myself and nearest dearest if I can get some this time of year -
750 seems way to cheap
id like to think I’d have that down by 3pm but there’s some chip to shift.
if I rucked up with lorry chipper 3 man gang I’d be pricing at 1,200 if I liked the client 1,500 is what I’d aim for and the vat
stump grind 300
£750 is about standard for a little transit domestic day
but then there are plenty near me who daddy bought all there kit and there just working for pocket money so would do it for the Instagram likes

Seems like a odd set up, I’d be questioning the motives.
back in the day i worked for a large arb company, if they wanted to get shot of you they would sell the dream of going subby, the extra money, the hoes flocking to you in your new tax deducted pick up etc
give you a weeks work and “we will call you”
