  1. Monterey pine decide to sit on shed and summer house roof the other week, job was a bit of a head scratcher. No access for a crane as drive was to small to get into, no other large trees to rig off, but could get in with mini digger so put a 5 metre jib on it and lifted little bit at a time. Bloody cones got to be the worst timber to trim out.
  2. Road tax should be calculated on how many miles you do. It can easily be done now with service records on new cars and mot data. Why should someone old how only does 1000 miles a year pay the same as someone how does 25000 plus.
  3. Now that would be a job and a half
  4. Double row one of each would do it.
  5. As above, better hedge in the end..
  6. That is correct. I have been fencing for over 30 years so should know the law, but so many others don't. I will take no notice of Wet farts comment.
  7. That is not legal to do, if you look up the law on electric fencing.
  8. As its gravity feed its down to you to stress control it with the size stuff you put in it. I have a Timberwolf 18/100 which is a fantastic machine on straight stuff but if you chuck a piece of cord about 4 inch in it struggles because no limbs slow it down.
  9. So number is 1115 141 0400
  10. Been given a Stihl 045av, at first see it looks in good nick, apart from fuel cap missing. How can I tell how old it is. Will post some pics.
  11. you just need a truck and trailer not a lorry, You could try Charles on 07543706932 him and his sons move cars all over you may have to wait to get them to do it just depends were their going.
  12. Always the same, work all week in job were you can do damage to your self, and do something when just at home or at someone else's. We don't mend like we did when younger.
  13. 10x5HD ifor williams drop side with a set of 8ft ramp, is what I would go for to move what you are talking about. Most forklift drivers will not load a plant trailer.
  14. That's right just need to know what size fits, bought a pair of SIP innovation for under £90 may years ago.
  15. The problem with them is they eat flowers and hedges aswell.
  16. My echo has a larger gap with extra strap between left and right cutter.
  17. Just buy standard ifor williams and unscrew it grease it up and fit, job done properly. Just keep wheel in a safe place as they don't last if ran along road.
  18. Could be valve which has toothed belt under it, or lose connection there.
  19. That will add to much weight..
  20. I see what you mean now, I would still use chassis mounts and fabricate new mounts for body to come out to meet.
  21. All you have got to do is move mounts along and down to meet chassis mount, why add extra weight when you don't need to. Will look pro and not a bodge.
  22. Only last week pulled out shrubs with digger and thought I had got to take roots away, Gardener turned up and said he was going to light fire in back garden, guess were roots went, he was a gardener how could light a good fire.
  23. That's about right, but you can just run around large stuff when just logging stems down if twice bar length. Had it just the other day with a silver birch, owner was watching an when I got down to there it was one bar length he said you need bigger saw now, he was amazed I just kept cutting with little saw.
  24. They are the quietest MT tyre you can get
  25. Kumho MT if you can get hold of any, if you can't get there with them then you want with anything else in a road going tyre. As you are doing 5 miles then if it's all forest tracks have you thought of set of old weller wheels with flotation tyres fitted, farmer near me runs old Toyota hilux with them on with slug applicator on.
