it's thick enough to slow someone with a 4 1/2 inch battery grinder, so they try a bigger grinder (230mm)

maybe scaffolding to make a footbridge to walk stuff back

I would only be about £140 for that, nothing taken away. The dedicated tree firms with mobile platforms a lot more. Personally I would try to jam a ladder in there and top them from a rope and harness, perhaps tripod ladder and hedgecutter on a ht131 polesaw for the sides. Jameson poles and pulley pruner in the tree to get the frondy bits far from trunk. Your talk about having the luxury of a MEWP, picker then tying in as well sounds dodgy, you shouldn't need to. You can learn tree cutting from a rope and harness from books e.g 'Tree Climbers Companion' and there are books on tree work from MEWPS(platforms) too e.g, https://www.trees.org.uk/Book-Shop/Products/A-Guide-to-the-use-of-MEWPs-in-Arboriculture It is worth paying for training and certificates in aerial tree cutting if you think it's work you would like to tackle confidently. I did those size trees before having any tickets, but you can still break your neck falling fifteen feet. If you have to ask how much to charge for that, say to the farmer 'I haven't got a clue, but am willing to tackle it for free to get the experience.'

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future (1886),

only in the same way that all assets are currently artificially inflated - by the effects of quantitative easing and historically record low interest rates. The easiest way to crash house and land prices would be to put the base rate back to a more normal 5%

If a gardener keeps their machinery in the garage do they have to apply for a change of use for their house from purely residential, as they are now operating a commercial enterprise from their driveway?

What I meant is if a stranger (not integrated into the rural community) as you put it, just went along and asked several local farmers to rent some space for machinery and timber storage how much more would they expect to pay? I've rented a container and space for a trailer, not at mates rates and that £500 seems like there is some other element to the transaction - you love the people and they love you back

if you don't want to be friendly and talk to people how much extra on top of that 500 would you estimate the business rent to be?

yes - or as above rent from a farmer - the biggest tree firm near me rents a big yard at a farm, tractors , biomass chippers, timber trailers, piles of wood everywhere, I haven't read them moaning about 17k a year rent denting the profits. The subject reminds me of Mick on here out in France - looks like he's got a nice barn store and field for a yard, maybe he should spend his time moaning about how he could never go back to a dear part of the UK and buy similar premises

I wonder what the yellow one weighs with a mesh bin? My Iveco tipper single cab no crane or arb body, is 2.5 ton. At least the crane could load an additional trailer if wanting to avoid O licence

I like the price and mileage of the Iveco yellow one, but what is the point of the crane on a 3.5 ton tree cutting rig if you want to stay legal?

Maybe our laws on foreign ownership of land and residential property don't help. Also the goverment arent considering food security with all the relaxed planning. A serious drought all accross europe, or even warfare.

It's not good being wrong on the internet, potentially 7 billion people now know I didn't know what I was talking about, not suicidal about it, but not happy, will have to thoroughy research each post in future, even if it takes 2 weeks

I stand corrected. Looks fiddly. Maybe a lazy muscle car owner would just order a chinese copy carb

A car carb doesnt have the little rubber diaphragms, often its these are knackered by stale fuel. The good thing now is Stihl, Echo, Husky pro models Chinese carbs for 6 to 15 quid delivered and job done. V 90 for oem. Bet the manufacturers are sick losing all that dosh to the Chinese

Criterion in the singular. For punters not buying in bulk what about all these plastic containers? Surely Stihl and Aspen should look at making them reusable with a deposit?

When windspeed over 8.5 mph fumes cant be much of an issue.

I don't have PAYE staff, but would imagine a lot of quite big firms with a payroll over 10 say are still on petrol - and getting the PA1/PA6 tickets for their guys to lap up the glyphosate when the tank mix sloshes out the lid they forgot to do up properly and down their back. Hopefully the Ltd status will prevent these callous entrepeneurs from losing their homes in the event of successful litigation. Since the advent of horticultural petrol machines was a generation or two ago, these early workers must have been tumoured up to the eyeballs

A high quality, low tech alternative

Its all very well paying over the odds for fuel marketed as producing less toxic fumes, but if the operatives other lifestyle choices put them in geat danger - what's the point? I mean things like: too much sugar, 170mph , unprotected sex with strangers, or even visting a relative in a country with an ebola outbreak

have spent some time this weekend reading about the uprising at Sobibor death camp in Poland - estimated 250000 - quarter of a million murdered in approx 18 months. Only about 1 in 10 prisoners present on the day of the escape survived the war, all those who chose not to join the uprising were executed. Because some of the prisoners weren't recaptured Himmler panicked according to reports and had the camp bulldozed and trees planted to cover up. One survivor tells about his job shaving the heads of naked prisoners before they were sent to be gassed. The brave sacrifices on D-Day, at Montecasino, and the Russian advance (which cost more lives than all the rest) finally put a stop to it. My grandad wasn't at D- Day, but survived Dunkirk and later Burma, I don't think he'd be turning in his grave now. At the moment no one is being led off to gas chambers, our cities aren't being bombed from the air. They gave their lives so we can have what we take for granted - life and peace.

I just think TR flooring that bloke in the vid, only took a swing because he didnt look like Tyson. If it was a huge boxer winding TR up, to retaliate could have resulted in instant death. Also the bloke TR punched could have hit his head on the floor and suffered blood on the brain. At least Boris and Gove would have walked away

I'm all for Tommy alias and his anti immigration stance - wish everyone felt the same, sure we would be shorter doctors and nurses, but at least we could have more open spaces instead of increasing the concentration of horrid human nests The only thing I thought with the video is what if the man winding Tommy alias up was someone really big? People only act tough when it seems their opponent is unlikely to give them a life threatening brain haemorrhage

if you take the first letter from each paragraph and rearrange it spells kill bezos

keep the wagons rolling
