Goaty

Any chance of felling all or a large portion and accumulating in the woods. Then in summer when its dry underfoot take processor in to the woods. The advantage being you make the mess and spread it to rot there. Then bring out the finished product on the trailer you have or in dumpy bags. A lot less rehandling. You could hide a mobile phone on the processor if you have to leave it in the woods. Then track it if it moves. Maybe not a good idea in this case, but there are alternative ways to skin a rabbit as it were. I think you ask about this in another thread a while back, if memory serves access is narrow.

As a relief concrete mixer driver if you are going to get it delivered readymixed. Don't skimp on the mix grade. A cheap mix is cheap because it has less quality ingredients in it. e.g power station "fly" ash is used to substitute portland cement! Get the volume worked out right. You are better ordering a little too much than ordering an extra load for your mistake, as you will likely pay haulage for a full load, even if you order a barrow load. Instead of rebar you can have fibres put in the mix at around £5 per cube. For reinforcement. Concrete depending on mix and moisture weighs 2.4 ton per cubic metre. The company I drive for allows 5 minutes per cube delivery time. Thats half an hour for a 6 cube load. This is average, not long to shift over 14.5 ton ish 1/2 a mile in your case. After that time has elapsed. They charge £1 plus vat a minute. So please advise the company if you need the extra delivery time as its selfish not to, sometimes we have to just dump it and go as other customers are waiting and drivers have EU drivers tachograph rules to comply with. It sounds alot but due to delivery standing times we get around 9-10MPG with a 6 wheeler, plus a drivers wage at around £9 per hr. Personally I would probably mix it myself due to logistics as Its going to need extra man power and probably 2or3 dumpers. Expense and stress. Finally don't lay it when its frosty. If it rains after/during before it sets a plastic sheet on top can save it if its dry. Also pre wetting the subsurface can alleviate shrinkage problems.

On their website the homepage video features another snapped oregon sawhorse. Mine finally bit the dust this week. Was human error and a bulk bag of firewood though. Excellent pictures, I would like to see the top of the table where the stitching is done. Did they fill the gap with clear resin?

I bought some 3 months back it worked out around 85p a metre in rolls of 50 or 100m:thumbup1:

Im going away for December and have told regular customers. They have been stocking up, so its worked well. Others are saying next summer they will get stocked up as well. Which is good for me spacewise.

I wouldn't be suprised if a fracture elsewhere. Or something out of true.

The vid looks like a quiet trench run on the dark side of the death star.

All that needs to finish it is is a picture. I always forget to take one as well. Probably not good to put it on a forum. Well done.

Bought indespension 2.6 tonne twin axle plant trailer about 7 years ago. The idea was to upgrade motor from a car derived van, not done it yet. It does everything I need from logs in bulk bags to clearing brash. Try not to overload as can only pull 750kg on it behind van.

Good thread result. Informative and probably not the end. Amazing value compared to pole saws such as silkys:thumbup:

Did you make a purchase then 18 Stoner?

Going grizzly Tony? Growing a beard as well.

Another option for gate access is the older vineyard models. Normal tractor on a narrow width. But you do loose stability.

Sounds like time to start up the show us yer groundie gut pics thread Steve, you been doing to much ride on arb eh:driver:

Your oil leak should be a simple fix. All designs of 4wd do get seal problems. Its probably caused by the mud getting in the seal. Beware of being ripped off. My dad has an iseki tf321 compact, no loader and the seals went after 8years and around 700hrs. Iseki price per seal £39 I went to a bearing place £7 It took about an hour per seal to dismantle and rebuild, you will need some gasket sealant as well. A parts diagram will be a big help if you can get one.

Its money goes to money. Thats why grant schemes are good for millionaire farmers. You have to prove you have the cash ready or pay upfront. Which many of us go for help from grants to give us a leg up. Not keep our heap big.:001_rolleyes:

How do you book the services of Mr Blair then Jim? Just send a picture of your toys and then say your a man down.

I know a site you could tip either at, depends how handy it is for you. I will pm postcode for you.

Brilliant, and drivers not paid that well either. All flash and no cash a driver once told me. Bet they have a nice collection of high end company motors as well as the rally set up.

At least a tenner a tree. If he is wanting it cheap. Skin them up to poles, leave brash on floor to dry out a bit. Let him burn them. then when he has cleared them up go back and log the stems up. Someone will take them for firewood. Poles could even be used as leverage to take stumps out. This is just suggestions to make it quicker and easier for you and cheaper for your mate. Id do it for a good friend. skin up, then log up for £80-£100 with a good saw. But if you are chopping, clearing and carting then burning. You might be looking at 3 days work if you are not equipt for it. As a team of 2 I would aim to be off site in a day and chip or burn another time.

I was born. Im going to die!

I asked him, seems a jolly chap. Decided to put himself in the advert.

Nuseries have been binning and burning healthy stock over the past year or so. Its a bit like mad cow disease. Instead of avoiding the mad ones avoid the lot. Alot of good trees wasted, probably some immune ones gone forever. But on the other hand the disease may of spread more, especially by less thorough establishments. To answer your question, optimistically, they can quote a price in hope of things changing.

Yellow type was oko I think. I never got on with it.

Your gear matches some of his eh Jon? It is a tough one really as you need serial numbers and distinctive features and photos to back up your claims. If he does get him stuff back it still looks like crime is on the up on your patch. Theft then whatever retribution he gives dosent sound legal.
