What is it off?

Would digger mounted be any good? It depends on the girth of your brushwood. I've used a sovema heavy duty flail behind an alpine to destroy rows of young trees on a nursery. The tractor then the flail bends the tree over and 2 ft stems ping back up. Therefore maybe a front mounted without a roller at the front would work better.

My mate works for hire pool they have some real high reach. But they may have to get it from another branch, but they do it all the time. Hire pool are not the only company there either. Try googling genie hire NZ or another makers name.

I've tried and will keep trying for this.banging a fee stakes in is not a problem undoing a strainer and getting it right takes too long. Customers think short term and save now that's the problem.

£300 to assemble a flat pack is expensive. A chap near me makes a decent 6x8 for £400 Bases and site prep inc materials will not be cheap.

To theorise then a day like today is perfect. I've been knocking 8ft 3-4 inch posts about 2ft into the ground for a pheasant rearing pen. It was wet after the recent rain and easy going. Some posts almost sunk to full depth when the hammer weight rested on them. The gamekeeper also had creosoted the post bottoms. 👍. It's such a variable game, soil type and moisture. Wood quality. Species, treatment, growth rates etc. It's really hard to research and if we did work it out for the best. A new animal containment system would be developed. But like British grown timber for the war efforts. Wood is now obsolete in navy ships and other hardware.

So do you think the whole post structure is weakened by knocking them in, not just the top and bottom? I know nasty chemicals were involved in the past. But it's amazing that our ancestors knew how to be effective with timber. Venice is not alone being built on piled alder, which last indefinitely in water. Nowadays we plant the cheapest trees, with fastest growth rates makes the worst timber. Then when someone gets hold of semi decent hardwood specimens the path of least resistance is taken and converted into hardwood logs. The whole timber nurturing industry needs re-evaluating.im not the first to say so. Naff primary product affects the whole chain. Because you are planting for the next generation few risk it. Greedy offspring potentially scupper it. As the golden droid said. We're doomed

Not saying your wrong at all. I fence on the softer side of land. Don't really get rock that much. I have taken out posts that I've put in. But unless it's been mushroomed on a foundation or such. The posts I've pulled out always seem OK and the tops may benefit from the pounding, being more compressed and repellent of moisture and fungi. I think the real deterioration of timber is at the neck above and below ground level. I'm currently using treated larch 9x9x 8ft sq posts. One I picked up today after been laid on the ground for about a month was covered in a white mildew(fungus) so I expect the treatments not up to much.

I wrote a defnder 130 and Ifor Williams twin axle 16ft off at 40mph. The Land Rover went to Nottingham uni for research. It was caused by a set of springs having broken leaves in it. On the trailer. Hindsight given was inspect trailer regularly. Boss got done for no maintainence records. The wheelbase configuration was lousy due to short wheelbase of towing vehicle relative to first axle in trailer. 3 axles which were new out at the time would've been more stable.

I liked my 346 that much I bought an xpg. Then I got the xp Ported by spud. Married to that saw for life now❤️ Not tempted to stray at all. Find a good un its unlikely you will trade in for a younger model.

Why do people become insensitive about past issues. The refund will shock him and rightly so. The ebay non payment handling is mediocre at best. I've had non payers then you wait for them to do very little, then relist item, which on every occasion I've lost value on. The culprits should be suspended at the least.

The man speaks sense. The hardest part will be parting with the new toy "just in case"

I only mentioned. You clarified👌

Had a couple of trips down there. Stayed at winton with friends. Been to Milford etc. Yeah you will get away with a prototype down there well off the beaten track.

If you check manufacturers websites you will likely find hare spec net. I know tornado do pheasant friendly net.

Welcome aboard tentman. Which part of NZ are you in? I have travelled most of it. I think you will find here in the UK few if anyone has built their own tracked machine, not just the time and cost factor. Our liability and compensation setup in Europe isn't as good as yours so we hold back these days. If an employee had and accident with something you designed it would be a legal hell. The tracked machines are around 4000kg I think. I have a none tracked Bryce on our tractor. The weight is 400kg and the counterweight the same. I reckon the minimum weight you want is 250kg unless you are fitting a rock auger to your machine. Would the simplest thing for you to dos remove the arm off a compact 360 then attatch a mast to it. Then develop it from there. I know Bryce sell there masts to others such as quickfencer.

Do yourself a favour and get the best knocker you can get your hands on. It may cost a bit more than you like, but so much quicker and easier, and vastly superior quality control. Since I got the Bryce post driver I'd rather turn the job away than go back to the loader bucket and tiny post driver days. If you do get a good operator and post driver you probably will get a few days real holiday due to early finish.

If it's value, costs per mile your after. It's frowned on by some, but second hand from a good second hand tyre place. What does a transit tyre last in miles? I assume back outlast front.

New thing to stop the new generation sulking all the way into next week if they don't get there own way, then everybody follows. I once went to the leisure Center during the euros. Only me there, even the lifeguard went to watch the game in the sitting area.

Leave that kinda work to those that want it. For myself as I'm commercial of mind growing. Mulch and cultivate with a machine. I hate flower border work. The fiskars weeded got a good review on here recently

The leaves can get to 8ft across. Grow like stink about now. Measurements will date rapidly.

The whirly gig. Is a Chilean rhubarb. LatIn Gunnera manntica in full summer glory they can top 8ft. I reckon the leylandii is 12ft as well. Probably wants a 50% reduction. Because the client wants an 8ft hedge and reckon they are going to keep on top of it. The 2ft extra is to compensate for the 1st 2 years they don't bother

Every year field grown nursery trees are harvested leaving ruts up to tractor belly depth in places. All we've used is a set of disc harrows and a bomford heavy duty type chisel plough/drag. I heave the wet spots from either side with drag if bad around April time. Also do the rest once. Then once it's dry run through again including wet spots.and Harrow off to level and consolidate. Your wet spots will only be Surface compaction. Underneath soil will be nearly as dry as rest of land. In Most cases. Just to clarify their is people who can. Sit in a digger looking fluid and competent, then there are digger operators, who think and do. Using a well intentioned matey one weekend cheap might cost more long term. Keep us updated👍

Amazing how she googled it down to laurel and not just the fresh chip nukes everything or spores are turning her into a Borg or something. Dean it doesn't matter what common good you do for everyone it's the age of blame and liability. The victim is allowed to be naive. The Person being blamed should have knowledge and wisdom of Solomon in all matters, but was being greedy or too lazy to do wot about it. I know that's not you Dean but that's how they set it up.

I couldn't be bothered to watch that jcb video. But despite what people think longer is far easier. I could reverse the double trailer fast trac rig. I reckon the hardest thing in general to reverse is them mobile compressors you see behind 7.5t roadwork utility trucks. You can't see the thing as its so much narrower the the pulling vehicle. The short wheelbase twitches quickly as well in whatever direction. 2nd to that is the light old turntable farm bale rulleys. Get a pebble behind front tyre reversing they shift direction. So whilst jonnys effort might not be that hard for those practised in chipper reversing. It's at the tougher end of reversing in my book. People should spend time practicing manuvring trailers and crew should have a good communication system. To assist. I make my wife look a better driver with a trailer than me, but on her own it's not as good. People look when I get out whilst she does the awkward reverse. It wouldn't work the other way!
