    I hope you have a felling licence to carry at work, only chipper that would make job easier is 6 inch capacity or bigger and tracked if access is bad.

    Can you not fit locking caps, Then they may just drill tank.

    If it's only young growth you could get a cheap topper mower 6 ft wide. Easier to maintain the flail. That video has been speed up a lot would of taken him days to do that. I run a old Wessex scrub master, out of machines I have used before it's an animal.

    I run a 8x5 tipper with double sides and triple when chipping into it, and a 12x6 flat bed with sides, towed by 130. the 8x5 is nice to back into driveways but the 12 on a 130 can be a sod if road and drive not very wide. The 10 tipper has same 3500kg max so can carry more load then 12 as it unladen weight is greater. As for moving plant I move on both of mine but no storage for ramps on old 8x5. Seen big chipper and 2t digger on 10 tipper. One best thing about 10 tipper is its width you don't need to worry about it sticking out beyond truck. I keep thinking about getting 10x5 and selling 8x5. But if only 1 trailer would get 12 all day long.

    You will find all slower chipping than your 35hp Timberwolf as all have smaller engines. As said just demo and test what's faster.

    If that was the case early morning big saw and start at base.

    They must of had reason to get it looked at by arborist, insurance I bet then insurance company looked at findings and said got to come down no other option but there was. Also bet got solicitors to look at deeds to find out were bound is and said yours not council. Will be interested to see outcome of it.

    As always press getting it wrong. Trunk left standing so pollarded not felled. And from what I ve read no TPO.

    If you have farmers around you and piles of wood about like you are saying, just knock on some doors or stop the next tractor you see and ask, the answer maybe yes, or no. Then you know.

    I gave up with wooden handles a couple of years ago, all alley. Just bought bulldog stuff and kept handles and bought a new head.

    The only advantage of a thump it's on the digger just pull and replace pin and it's used, no changing to grab. We have thump fitted but also have grab to fit if moving brash all day.

    They will find it. Was talking to a old family friend last week and his son has a fuel shut off, but van will start and run for a short time. He had van pinch from under bedroom window, they got 750m down road and it stopped and that's where they left it, right in the middle of the road.

    Try and spread jobs out in the week so I get a change, also do as much as I can with machinery.

    If anyone wants to know how good Leupold rifle guarantee is, answer is great. Had a problem with fogging of scope so emailed Viking arms and they said send it to them to get it sent back to America, took 10 weeks. Scope was returned Monday and basically rebuilt whole scope free of charge.

    You based in Newmarket?? Don't use Ben Burgess then

    Your best option maybe to get with a big company running large lorries, which you already know about. Then get plant tickets and groundy ones. And see how it works out.

    Bit late but been a good Monday morning, not had girl in car pull across in front of me, I was in Landy with trailer with loader on, 8.wheels locking up makes a noise, hand hit horn and couldn't hear it. Then got to job which was started last week to clear up wood and about 2 ton has gone. Took I day light by old man in pickup.

    Had old diesel land rover which would cut out, it turned out to be wire in terminal didn't have enough wires left attached but would arc and make enough to start then it would let go. RE-did all terminals and never had any more problems.

    The only option is probably apply to carry out work, replanting that's going to be done. I have had a couple of customers take it that they could apply and get results they want, turned out no. I then put application in and worded it totally different and got better result. Headed paper with correct wording go along way.
