  1. never got in till late as we had another conny bashing job on after we finished the stump part time is beginning to get a bit more like almost full time:thumbup1:
  2. there was only 2 of us i was climbing and rich was clearing up the lowering bollard was just a wrap around bollard that i made years ago and been modified over the years we are just a 2 man part time band
  3. whats an LD ?
  4. to keep costs down the hiab was only on site for an hour also the amount of branches would have been to much in one go for us to clear up it would just have been too busy , there was only 4 hours stripping the tree till it was bare before the hiab arrived
  5. grinding jobs that size arent too common for us i was thinking about a bigger grinder but most of the stuff that we have been doing is ranging from 6'' up to about 30'' so i dont know if its worth it. we now have a set up for sharpening the greenteeth so its a very cost effective set up and to go and spend 20k on a bigger grinder my minds not made up yet
  6. probably about 4-5 hrs grinding time there was quite a bit of material to get removed which took a long time to clear up
  7. i like the idea of cooking the sausages bet you cant do that with a grinder
  8. yr.no ? Weather forecasts for Norway and the world from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the NRK thats who we use they all use the same information anyway so its really down to finding a good format that you like i think
  9. took the day of work to do this one be gentle with comments please its to show customers what we can do [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5cXKvuo4eM]BIG BEECH CRANE JOB - YouTube[/ame]
  10. unfortunately i couldnt take a picture as i was pretty obvious and the last thing i was wanting was to draw any attention i can do without a run in
  11. i came back my holidays today and passed some fly tipping caravan dwellers with their lorry bogged to the axles in a well known bit of waste ground so i phoned the coppers and they got busted , honestly i am so happy i could cry i like to do my bit
  12. you can buy a cheaper log splitter off flee bay and keep both thats what i would do
  13. I am in the same boat man up is the only way
  14. Don't get me started about this we had the same problem at the weekend we were grinding out 3large stumps and we had to stop a few times as people were walking thru our work area
  15. not in scotland i believe thats why theyre all up here
  16. or do it with mild steel and run some hard facing down the edge and dress it back with a grinder to an edge
  17. bet that smelt fruity
  18. looks too big to be left standing with that amount of decay in the stem i would say fell or at the minimum a hefty reduction
  19. this has got my ears pricked up i think ours is the 365 special can it be modded
  20. the dust is bad for your lungs as well as the carbide its a heavy metal it tears up your lungs according to tinternet all in all bad stuff
  21. no aluminium mounted diamond with an enclosed box with the inside coated in mobiltac grease to catch all the dust makes a lot of difference in the shop
  22. forgot the pictures
  23. we have been doing a fair bit of grinding in stony ground and the front of the shanks have been starting to wear quite a bit so i decided to put hardfacing on the nose of the shank to stop them wearing so much and also managed to sort out sharpening the cutters as well, the grinding wheel i got off ebay cost about £14 and it works pretty good I've done about 40 sharpens and there is very little wear on the grit
  24. i am beginning to think that ebay dont care or want to care as they make that much from fake/scam /stolen stuff
  25. petzl spatha for me
