Wide. It's brilliant, we just took the chipper in and out on the pallet forks. It's just so easy to stand the chipper at the base of the felled tree and work upwards, feeding all the branches straight into the chipper. So much more efficient than dragging out to a road tow, even with those size trees. Two of us had those two Leylandii in the photos above out through the access below in a reasonably easy day, with one extra truck trip that I called in off another job for the big timber. It's such a more pleasant way to work, and I reckon the Sherpa and wee chipper cost about the same as a decent road tow. @AHPP- pincers in action.

She’s great for this domestic tree surgery lark.

Yup thats the idea.

Anyone got a contact for a supplier of stakes and rods for riverbank stabilisation?

I find with certain surfaces like sand, the turf tyres have the floatation but need more grip. Were I buying again, I'd probably go for the wide low profile agri type first. At least they're quick to change!
-
That was my plan, but I’m wanting to get a third set too. The grass tyres are good but I think the ones you had on the hire machine will be most use most of the time. They are a bit like the multi one type in that they are a ‘low tread profile’ agri tread.

Nailed it. Never thin either.

We all know what a pikey looks like. He ain’t one.

Well I've never seen one be much of a climber...

And wait for the council to order you to replant!

JCB were fine with me adding tree felling up to 30m.

Take it out, clean up both surfaces with a stripping disc and reassemble with a good smear of copper grease.

Looks like a perfect specimen.

Good luck to him, at least he’s not a pikey. We all start somewhere.

Just thinking of your chestnut odds and ends really. It's good burning wood for a log burner.

@Johnpl315 has beech cord for sale, maybe some chestnut.

JCB understand the nature of plant, and the fact that machinery is left on site overnight. They don't have bullshit clauses (or bullshitter salesmen) like Trust do.

JCB insurance are good for me.

I spent years with shitty trolley jacks like the blue one. Then I bought the black one, I can’t remember what it cost but it’s worth every penny. Now I actually reach for a jack rather than a forklift.

A credit card or two each side, tap it down and tighten. Simples.

You sure don’t want to be flat rate if you are buying a lot of fencing materials!

Can you tell the difference? One is an aggressive denizen of the jungle, whose body parts are revered in some low IQ cultures for having supposed mystical powers. The other is just a tiger...

I only came in here for the meme of a clown saying ‘I’ll cut your trees down for the wood…right after you mow my lawn for the dogshit’ Disappointed.

Why not both?

You're more of a man than me, I like my 10' ramps! The rake looks great, drill the tops of the fork pockets for M16 and weld a nut on top. Then you can lock them in place with an M16 bolt.
