  1. It was last time you looked. I had some cut in 3m lengths last year half of it went before I got back to pick it up.
  2. Looks like the recovery guy got out before his truck went over didn't see the truck driver
  3. They were re-pollarded because they were last done in the 1970 and they had lost some limbs and most of the bases had rot in then and they wanted to keep them or loose them. The work was carried out for Suffolk County Council in the Dedham vale for The Managing A Masterpiece.
  4. Re-pollarded 52 last year and 23 this year. Lots of cord wood and brash. Some pictures of the 52 we did.
  5. Your need's to be sharp and keep cutting right up to gob cut or under cut or it will Run up or down. Best of luck. Try small bits first and see how it go's.
  6. Just finished a repair to fencing on a piece of wet ground, new stainers were 3 metres in length had a bit of a problem getting the thumper over the top of the first one to hit it so as we had a loader on the front we went to push it in a little bit, we didn't stop till the post was at finished height of 1.2 metres.
  7. I know your a girl, but don't let the muscles in theshoulder wasted to much because they take a long time to get back to full strength, I damage my shoulder a year ago and still not got the same strength in it that I had before.
  8. Get well soon will you still be able to go on holiday in november
  9. Check you insurance will cover to work near a petrol station??????
  10. Should be all right to redirection of cable because there quick to remove from the line. There only should turn slow not the speed a timber winch pulls at.
  11. What type of willow? If it's a bat willow dell it and buy some better timber.
  12. I use tractor and trucks in tree-work each one is insured but was thinking if it's possible to insure them as a block group to save money. Any one know of a good company to ring.
  13. Plenty of big forked stick to give it a push in to chipper. Just a thought can you burn it in a large old oil tank to contain the fire?????
  14. Shut down. Get a power company to get some one to inspect job with you and go with what they say may take some time to get them out to look.
  15. Most modern post thumpers can be user by one man because of way the posts are held. You just have to get on and off the tractor each time I use one on my own and do about 60 to 80 post aday.
  16. The other day when I was about to start chipping the customer came all with a wheel barrow and said can you just blow some chips in to it:confused1:. The best was when cutting a large conifer hedge the gardener asked what are you standing on, my reply was my feet he didn't think it was that funny:laugh1:.
  17. Helli-loggers??? Know Anyone with a horse.
  18. What about a coffen it is a church yard.
  19. Christ mate you must been reading my mind just posted a new thread for pictures of cranes. Have you tried a longer draw bar on your tractor.
  20. Just got a 3pl farma crane having a problem with it on the linkage lift it to high and swing it over the cab and the A frame taps the mud guards lower it to stop this happening and it will hit the roof. Any one got any pictures of a farma crane on a tractor 3pl many help THANKS
  21. Pollard and coppice each tree looks like its had this done in the past, rather than do them all together work out a rotation to spread out the inpack on bird and animals.
  22. Good news but what did they say you did to it the first time, and what are they saying know? The only reason I ask is a year ago had problem with my shoulder after seeing a phiz a doctor and a consultant all said I had detached my rotator cuff after MRI and a 5 week wait the consultant said no I hadn't. The only problem was when I first saw the consultant he said they would just do the opp so I said could I have a MRI scan which I did good job I did. What the problem in my shoulder is extra bone growth off a bone which has narrowed where the tendons run from an injury about 10 years ago when I fell of a tuck on to a road and they can't opp so have to live with it. BEST OF LUCK.
  23. Talk to the lads at Chippenham farm sales they well know what you are looking for. There probably to far away from you but may give you the make and model so you can look at.
  24. DITTO. When the hedge is over 20foot high and 10foot wide it is not your average trim job for a man with a hedge cutter and a pair of steps.
  25. Had a shoulder problem a year ago know and went to see a physiotherapist and she gave me some exercises to do which I thought were easy till I tried them, they were holding exercises like yoga bloody hell did it hurt. Muscle is heavy so inner strength is what you need.
