No. Soil is fine. Depth wise could be better for its future growth but that's not my problem. Already customer knows. Last tree was doing great in the condition

last oct i planted a lime aong with many other trees on a landscaping project - i had to replace 1 lime as it had a nasty wound behind the spiral guard which then snapped out , nursery replaced it thou , anyways , it was thriving in its conditions , unlike its replacement. in 3 weeks it has began to do what is showen in the photos , is it leaf blight ? weather conditions from very wet to sudden warm hot as it on top of a hill in exposed setting there are freash buds there , which i feel is hope as its browning / yellowing fast and sheading leaves

cheers , realy want something that pulls the weight and not all the cash deep out the pocket. ive seen a 5.2t at a good price - il take a guess it weighs 2.8 - thou if it got the bed removed and alloy chip box could then carry 2T easy im getting 75 miles to £20 in the transit , but tbh , you end up putting juice in every day so makes no difference what your driving

i bought a nov 2006 tw125 in jan - 2 months later the engine stopped dead , like not even any warning just jammed tight. new engine ... but now its like a new machine thats tbh i would be lost without , appart from poor paintwork which i can sort (i was in the motor trade so bonus) - so , if u can , buy new.. but even an extra £50 a month extra on a loan or fianance can be alot to a small setup like mine i looked into fianance but the payments sounded ok then the vat killed it for me , maybe if i was out 5 days per week id have gone for it but 2nd hand £100 less over same term of years - twist it round thou and the replacement engine has cost me alot hoping to pay it off in full b4 winter , so if that happens il be happy, **** happens things break

thinking of getting a iveco 5T 3.0 6 speed , any body got one ? looking at mpg - also itscurrently got a tipper bed on it , any body know the average weights just looking beyound the trandsit weight restrictions . and for what id pay for a newer van , say 8-10k i could get a iveco ex lowmiles council for 5k , leaving change for my C1 liecence and alloy chip box also ive never driven one but at the mo i drive a w-reg tranny , so anythings going to be more comfortable , plus the transit got a heavy clutch which is no good for my knee problem cheers
-
my shed , stuck in the mud - will be possibly selling soon as think il go for a bigger capacity iveco cos cant afford a new shape tranny , but need to put in for my 7.5t first - i dont know , realy cant keep running around overloaded (uprated springs keep that look unraps thou) - tipper sides drop down to reveal storage boxes full length of bed , boths sides - so less need for a double cab if i go single and do the same on next vehicle ok for a W-reg also landrover , exarmy , nice fun toy
-
Cool thanks. Il take it all in a crack on. Shifting timber all day Sunday from home to woods. Be nice to see my driveway
-
It's all 4inch + stuff after my arb work. I intend to make small sideline profit and see how it goes . I've been selling unseasoned from home however yard to small and this land came up. Cheap n out the way £400 a year. Good space in a 12acre woodland. Free to roam with dogs and take chip there I think cubed bags would be good but it's the lifting. I may opt for now to stack split logs then just sell by tipper level load when time arrives I had a possible deal with a garden centre however it burnt down week later. Not me honest mr policeman
-
i like working with him , only small stuff / ground level jobs as he cant climb .... plus my mother always makes me bait and gets him to fetch it in - bonus
-
good question as be much much easier also if i do vented bags il need a small crane / lift on tipper , another ad on to think about
-
i pay my dad £40 to drag n chip - he retiered and needs to lose weight , when he gets rid of his gut a little il boost his wage
-
no probs - have fun
-
thanks , il take a look. looking forward to somewhere to hide from the wife

Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!
Dr.Green replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
any1 got any picture from inside cannopy to give different views . ive done a ew reductions , mainly to trees that the owner wanted removed but i turned there thinking around - the last did was a sycamore , my wife who was groundy says i took more than 30% but i feel i didnt , but its hard to guage at my early arb stage the end product was a tree that didnt look to much like it had been touched , ok shape , down in height and sides to small as possible pruning cuts and of course , still standing unlike the roundovers i keep seeing - so if im honest , anythings better than those -
If ur stuck try say 'grab and deliver' with the large tipper grab trucks' they will get rid of it or drive upto my place . If u were closer I'd take it but I'm top of Durham with a transit and my local timber trailer tractor is hexham
