  3. My friends hire firm has one , I used it Afew times & the look & move around good , & they say it suits his hire business but I think there underpowered , too slow for me to grind & being petrol drink fuel !!! I'd like to see a Diesel engine & a lot more grinding power ..
  4. Spotted this on a holly the other day
  5. Sorry if this subject had been covered : If your mini digger was around 2.5ton , then you add a rota grab ( weight? ) would this outfit get under the 3500kg tow limit ? Thanks john

  9. When my hedge was pale & patchy I fed & mulched it a lot , I use to water it sometimes but have found that with loads of horse manure & some feed they improved a lot , your see a lot of box in pots / tubes that lack nutrients
  10. It might have been sun scorched after cutting ? , box don't like sun when being cut & can burn if it's sunny on the days after ! These are my box hedges at home , I
  11. I have tried the green tachyon & it was too bouncy , is the teufelberger one made differently ?
  12. I'd maybe go GRCS , 16mm , dmm pulley & isc steel krabs .. The 20mm rope gets a pain to haul about & the 16mm will do for nearly every big work anyway . I've got rigging ropes 12mm-14.16,20mm , & the 20 doesn't come out much .. Had the grcs 5 years now great piece of kit
  13. I've bought some polymorph to do something similar , I like the pulley on the rr very smooth

  18. Might add I'm not saying it's wrong just you have to except what happens to your rigging kit ..
  19. With cheap cable lay ropes maybe but modern rigging ropes suffer too much & if your lolered like you should be then they will fail due to damage if your rigging anything with weight
  20. I will come Pete , & fetch a bulldog bone / wrench + zig zag / Spiderjack if anyone wants a go on something differant
  21. Today's job , alder blew over & hit house yesterday ,
  22. When I was 19 I worked on a building site in st micheals , one day in the brew room a old Irish guy took offence to something I said & so he smash a pint of milk over my head , I jumped up punched him back then Afew guy broke it up , we later shook hands everyone in the room kept quiet over it & the site agent didn't find out till nearly a year later , Neither of use went crying off to hospital / police whoever !!! People are too soft these days , the whole clarkson fiasco is a joke
