Did the cs100 not produce good enough quality chips to offer to allotment holders, gardeners etc? not had to pay to tip for years but quality of what comes out of my jobeau m200 isn’t that great depending on what’s going through and the blades being proper sharp

Very nicely done!

Predator is a rebadged Laski made in Czech Republic. Good grinders though - got the 360sw and an hb20 but also considering a bigger tracked or wheeled model

This is spot on!

Anything is possible given enough time and determination, but you’ll be knackered at the end of it! Done some huge stumps with my 14hp predator 360sw. Got a bandit hb20 as well now but not had a chance to use it on anything big yet to see how much quicker it will be.

Fiskars x27 or x25 👍

Wish you a speedy recovery! Rest up and don’t go back too soon - three ops to repair six so speaking from experience ☹️

Accident waiting to happen!

Have the rats been dealt with? If not they’ll be back for another chew

They do keep carping on!

Agree with all the above points - after 6 hernias and three ops I know recovery time is essential even though you’ll be itching to get back to work. Stopped doing fencing as the concrete post lifting had done me no favours and never handball heavy logs anymore. Cut smaller and/or two man lift. Better still machine lift. wish you a speedy recovery 👍

Got 9 bantams and they’re great. Fox proof with decent mesh/steel sheets/ concrete 18” below ground all round. Covered roof and sides with at least heavy aviary wire as fox will tear chicken wire open when desperate. a few traps around help keep the rats under control, plus I’ve got 5 cats who love to kill some and I get to shoot the odd one too. plenty of eggs and if you handle them from the start they can be really tame and a joy to keep 👍

Or failing that the stihl harness - use it regularly and it really saves my back and elbows

Happy new year Paul- miss your posts on here

Can be nice wood for turning once seasoned if it hasn’t split. I always keep it to one side to sell in a few years but certainly wouldn’t be paying for any that’s just been felled

It pays to know your local area and always double check if in any doubt. our local area is all online and free to check. However I do know of one road where I have worked a few times and none of the paper records were computerised so there are a whole load of mature trees that don’t show up in a search. Large limes, oaks and horse chestnuts. Anyone could easily fall foul with these even after doing the correct checks

Classic song! Looked after him one night when I was still doing security - what a lovely guy 👍

Yes and love it - took a while to set it up properly to be comfortable for me but now it’s done it’s so much better than my old Vertex Vent

He/she/it is sick and locked up thankfully - only feel sorry for the dog

That’ll be the day - that I die

One from today - bit bloody blowy up there ☹️ heavy reduction on an alder in a small garden with plenty of targets. Removal would have been better but customer didn’t want to lose it. IMG_0643.MOV

Her parents and teachers should hang their heads in shame 😂

BRITISH HOSPITALITY A most accommodating nation. An American tourist in London decides to skip his tour and explore the city on his own. He wanders around, seeing the sights, occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the locals, and have a pint of beer. After a while he finds himself in a very nice neighbourhood with big, stately residences; no pubs, no stores or shops, no restaurants, and worst of all NO PUBLIC TOILETS. He really, really has to go after all those pints of Guinness. He finds a narrow side street with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides to use the wall to solve his problem. As he is unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London police officer who says, “I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know.” “I’m very sorry, officer,” replies the American, “But I really, really have to go, and I just cannot find a public restroom.” “Ah, yes,” said the policemen, “Just follow me.” He leads the American to a back delivery alley to a gate, which he opens. “In there,” points the policeman, “Go ahead, sir, anywhere you like.” The American enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has ever seen. Manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculptured hedges, and huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom. Since he has the policeman’s blessing, he relieves himself and feels a whole more comfortable. As he goes back through the gate, he says to the police officer, “That was really decent of you. Is that what they call British hospitality?” “No, sir,” replied the policeman, “That is what we call the French Embassy.”

Had this on an old willow about 15 years ago - took a couple of minutes to drain out

Watch out for it having thrown a blade at some point. Run your hand round the chamber where the flywheel is. On my Jensen this had happened before I got it and it had damaged the hydraulic tank very slightly - just enough to bubble out slowly ☹️ blade bolts should be new or at least in good condition
