Thanks for the reply Conor, I have yet to jack it up and investigate any further but my assumption is that the idler wheel, that tensions the track, has knackered bearings, I just didn't know if the bearing was actually replaceable. Will jack it up and have the tracks off over Christmas to get a better picture of what's going on.

One punch can be lethal, wonder how many people previously hadn't pressed charges. Only been assaulted by a colleague before, guy was a mental case.

Hello, new to the world of tracked machines and have dived in on an aged old 150 ftr. Tracks are starting to make a clicking noise and feels hot around bearing area after tracking about. I was wondering if there is a replaceable bearing in there or do you just have to stump up and buy the whole wheel. Many thanks Mark

The new one, is the one with the hi visibility stripes on it. Not sure if it is effectively the same jacket but slightly different colour way. The keiu jacket has been one on the list for a while and recently noticed a different version, which looks good but wondered if it performed the same

The original sip keiu jacket always seemed well received. Has any one got the newer version? Is it up to spec?

Good day folks, as per title I am after a discharge chute for a tp150. If you have one please get in contact, 079six9023182 [email protected] Thanks

The biggest thing for me, at the smaller end is, the time and money. I can not belive that two ropes can be 'dangerous'. It will be a make things more challanging for sure. I cant belive small one man banders will take this up as it is effectively a mexican stand off. Other arborists in my area probably dont even know about ropegate so how am i going to get any work if i am pricing to do it slower, all be it safer, with two ropes. It just wont happen so i will be forced to stick to the old system if i want to put food on the table and keep a roof over my head. As said on larger comercial stuff i don't think it will matter as most of it is about paper work than actually what happens on site. For me most of the fatalities could be atributed to poor training and or poor work positioning, may be more monitoring and mentoring of individuals and assessors upping the game on the candidates they let loose.

There seems to be a big thing about spreading bio char on farm fields. I personally think it is pure coblers but it maybe an avenue to investigate.

Been doing a few recently. It is easier to sound out when they are in leaf as you can see the leaf loss to gauge to what extent the die back has taken hold. Bit harder in winter!

Same as other knackerd trees.

I am owed monies. I am not sure what the situation is but it is correct that it was part of NBC and i have had an email saying that if your owed money you will recieve a message from creditors. I take it i should kiss good bye to the money owed as i am sure i will be at the bottom of the list as it is only a days call outs for a team. All employees of blackdown that i know had left not too long a go.

Been loads of sightings this year for round here of the black adder. Dont get me started on pheasants! Think about the woodlands where phesents are. Only thing you will find is pheasents, corn and rats and not a lot else. When it rains, mud and pheasent shite running off into tributarys.

Low wage people in work but need wages topping up, record people in work is all we hear from this government.

Lots of momentum now with regenerative ag. Change is on the horizon with regards to payments for farmers. The conservatives are also making it possible for the land owner to get the payments and not the person farming the land. Make of that of you will. The rich looking after the rich imo. If you stop payments then you run the risk of people going for max production. Hedges out, no margins etc so could be counter productive to the environment.
