Clients a farmer if he can got job done cheaper using his gear, it will happen. As for Burrell maybe he is busy enough to not need the £s and prefer to have a bit more of his time to himself rather than sweating up a tree. Money isn't that important, now Im older if there is a good way to mechanize, Im there doing it that way. No point having a Cat (challenger) and meaoOWwing yourself:biggrin: Plus the wallop on hitting the deck must be worth £200 in entertainment. It would make me smile. A night at the theatre wouldn't.

Check the drawbar pin is in good order. This weeks failure!

What vehicle under 3.5 tonne can cope with 6 x 1m3

The rocking axles must help with nose weight as long as you load it right. -

Only looking at it on a phone. It's bizzare, it could be an interstock scion for compatibility reasons, but doubt it. More likely the trunk had protection on it such as a deer guard. When the tree fills it. The bark can tend to become more rootlike as the guard makes the tissue think its underground. This would explain the neat lines top and bottom.

Mycelium with fly agaric buttons. Come on lads this is Hamadryad!

Glad you got one Tony. Up to that point the book club was going very positively. I was next in the que as well:y: Our local library only lets you read this book in the library. People try on the inflationary prices on the web, but really does anyone pay these prices?

Me too august birthday. Couldn't wait to get stuck in. I've had a read of the gov website on red fuel. The proposers of the rules spent way too long in education. Not attached to the real world at all. So many complications and in plausible regs. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

But he writes in pigeon Scottish! Not the real thing as I realised when I bought asterix and the pechts instead of Picts. To add to my asterix book collection from many years ago. I hanne en red fiarst page. It's awful. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Not if you spell it like that! I reckon it comes under a whole other category, (sorry couldn't resist. Feel free to go through my posts and you will find loads of mistakes)still have to do your cpc though. It is an on going headache. Probably if the vehicle has no reverse gear it would be ok as well.

Or get through more work with more ported saws. Then buy a holiday to go with the shades. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Like many of us, probably in the shed on the "To do list" Im interested too.

I think I will get a few pairs, rather than waste my money on getting any more saws ported Spud, thanks for the heads up.

So just get a flatbed and carry the goods on it. No O licence required simples!!

I would just insure the needed kit that needs replacing instantly to get going again. Consider the old saws etc like you do with a tax write off situation if you know what I mean. Its a bonus to have them as long as you do. My wifes car is always something we could replace in an instant, that is an older non desirable motor. I personally just use insurance for what I couldn't afford to replace if you get my drift. Same goes for white goods. We never get the extra cover at so much a year. Because over 5 years you have paid for a new appliance in redundant money that you no longer have. Better off stashing it away then buying a new un

I have used a an 8 or 9 inch bearcat pto chipper on an 82HP case without stress control. It can do it with ease. But if you are filling the feed hole to its capacity with solid log and not brash, you need to be adjusting the feed speed constantly. Otherwise it stalls. Also have run it on a 1966 plate JD710 52HP which runs it well. Whilst this doesn't answer the OP question. It shows it depends on the material you intend putting through. I've seen an iseki 21hp compact tractor run a palax KS35 firewood processor, though it wouldn't want 300mm diameter oak putting through. It is suprising what the little ones will cope with.

Was only thinking about looking up the progress on this the other day... Then its popped up in unread threads, glad to see its underway.

Driving the bobcat along the felled tree with a roadplaner attachment, converting it in to firewood.

Depending on how well maintained it is previous to your attempt. If its a reduction in height job. Trim sides with hedgetrimmer, reaching to a consistent height (note your poise, arms 90 degrees or max your reach, etc) Then stand back to check its the same and level. You now have a top line to chainsaw along or hedge trim. Does depend on species and state of neglect.

True, Hard case Thats why you have fantastic jet boats and other extreme ways of achieving things we like. Bungee devices etc.

Now thats how we used to get things done in the pre red tape days. Fred Dibnah style, know your zone and limits, then work with them.
