  1. Looked at a whipping willow Wednesday evening which had dropped a limb in the afternoon in to a moat look at rest of tree and all looked ok and said I would be back Friday to clear it up. Got a text the next morning to say another limb had got a split which was over moat so not a danger to anyone but when I got there Friday morning there was another over parking area. Differently the right weather for it.
  2. I have used a flail hedge cutter that i use on a farm near me to cut there hedges to chop my heap of hedge clipping up it works well.
  3. Some sprinters have 3.5 ton tow capacity.

  6. Next job you need that comes up you need one for hire or get a demo and see how they perform, then try a articulated loader then decide.
  7. Mid size geny run drill, grinder, saw anything lot more money but more use maybe.
  8. Any thing like you mention will make life easy. But there are some points to look at: it will not work for every job Moving it to jobs tires up truck and trailer.
  9. 2 years ago I was going to buy a boxer loader and did not in the end the reason is, after talking to customers with large gardens I do work for they said they would not want tracked machine in garden or anything that was skid steer and yes you can put ply down but it more work before you start. Land up buying a Giant 204 on turf tyres no ply just get on with job.
  10. About 12 years ago bought a 12volt one you clip on truck battery it ex electric board big ally case and slow lots of torque a wrist breaker. But more recent use a Bosch 18volt for bridge construction and gate hanging on oak posts I do use a very kind drill bit which has a very open flight on it.
  11. Rash looks the same, we did not see any caterpillar but there could of been also interesting to read hairs can float about and land on your.
  12. Very interesting been back to job and no sign of any thing different to normal. Antihistamine are working and it has not spread any further. Only thing there was in hedge was duke of argylls tea plant which I have worked near before and been OK.
  13. When I saw doctor at walk in center did ask about A&E but said no point just take antihistamine tablets and keep rash soft with cream.
  14. Working on Monday topping a Hawthorn and Bullace hedge went to grab hold of a piece and got bitten or a thorn in finger. Through out the day it got stiffer and by the time I had my tea could not move it and felt like a pin was being pushed up the finger, and when I woke up the next morning had a bad rash on arm near elbow and chest ( as pictures ) so went off to walk in centre they hd got no idea a part from allergic reaction from what ever it was anyone had the same or know of someone how has. But itch is an under statement. [ATTACH]221974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]221975[/ATTACH]
  15. If it could chip it and blow it in to truck then it would be good. Like to see him join the second cut up with first with out a step.
  16. Then they may start again so act quick .
  17. Old Ford slab weights are what you need, maybe only one or two depending on mass you need.
  18. Hot servicing tractor for next week for fencing job.
  19. How is the stump being left not like in picture
  20. Out of interest how far dose that grap open .
  21. Tobroco giant loaders do one with hydraulic rotator.
  22. Stanton hope do them £57 chains for them not cheap when I worked for someone we used EN8 chain the same size. Great bit of kit to have.
  23. No fence being put up so nothing to clip it to, was thinking of line wire top and bottom and middle.
  24. Been asked about putting up wind break netting ( the green fine mesh ) to protect new hedge which is going to be planted. Has anyone got pictures of how best to keep it tight and how to tension it.
  25. Was cutting hedges Wednesday and someone was cutting next door as well. I cut hedges back to wear they were cut before, the other bloke was just trickling conifer hedges and not making that good a job. He may land up paying for it in the long run.
