  1. felt my inguinal hernia as it went pop.
  2. My Tobroco giant has turf tyres they are BKT will need to look to see what spec they are, any time I got it stuck was when it bellied out so no matter what tyres would have made no difference. If garden work you shouldn't need the extra grip.
  3. You could ask why the refusal. Earlier in the year put an application to trim limes back to old prune cuts and reduce height by 2m which was granted, then put in a norther application for same spec on different tree then got asked why 2m height reduction as it was not standard practice, this was the same TO that granted other application.
  4. Now that's a good idea, you would use the weight of the one going down to assist the one going up.
  5. I disagree with you there had many bolts bought from cheap shops which were 8.8 but were way softer then that, so always buy from main bolt suppliers near me or online if odd sizes needed. You pay for what you get.
  6. Yes you are right, but this was years ago. Bolt supplies also said bolt are no way near as strong as they use to be years ago.
  7. 12.9 is a stronger bolt over a 8.8 my old boss had a winch that alway broke 8.8 bolts, suppler chucked him some 12.9 bolts and said try them never had to change one that broke again. Just on a safety thing when pulling large trees. As for bolts holding blades they only hold them back to plate, seat blade sits on is were the main strength is.
  8. No how he work for. Better off in trailer then on the floor, he will get it with help.
  9. Cut some near assington 2 weeks ago.
  10. How easy did they undo is the big question, and shit happens like bolts break if faulty. Never use torque wrench to put bolts back in any of my timberwolf chippers.
  11. Zip line is the way to go on budget, moved a lot of timber on a steep site years ago. Tightened line with land rover winch and then hauled it down with rope as tug line on little loader.
  12. It has put a lot of people out of work reading meters, water companies going the same way.
  13. Anyone recommend company Colchester Essex Suffolk border.
  14. Why did you stop and see if it had been wired. Or got any paper work with name and address on.
  15. Nothing wrong with having to half's.
  16. About cup of tea is max I was told, no driving of a couple of weeks. Don't get bunged up do to pain killers either, I took no pain killers when I had mine done.
  17. Not my ground, did it for land owner. Its a lower part of field who that has been took out of tenancy, the tenant just ploughed it early in the year and left it drilled rest of field but it only looks a bit better then this bit.
  18. Cut and mulch at the same time. Can always tide ends after with saw.
  19. This evening just finished topping some thistles, that is the bonnet of a MF35 fe not easy as it was on ploughed ground. Bit cooler to do it then in the day time.
  20. Get it done ASAP, left my inguinal hernia to long and then was advised to have open surgery which failed, land up having 14 weeks off work then key hole to put it right then another 10 weeks off. I would think about going private with how things are.
  21. Some where on there its got to say, It may contain nuts.
  22. Have you requested to fell it and they refused. Any idea what coursed damage. Just get a long screw driver and see if you can push it into decayed area.
  23. Worked on trees were binoculars used to inspect tree, got up in themto do work and had to take pictures with phone and let owner know that all the money they spent was a waste.
