Rootwave. Been using it recently, only just started using on knotweed. Theory seems good. Zero chemicals, if your going chemical free this kills the root so deals with the plant underground rather that most mechanical methods only dealing with above ground.

Planting trees to sequester carbon emissions
markieg31 replied to benedmonds's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Have they ever thought that permemant pasture also sequesters carbon. Infact i think that you can do more with an extensive grazing system carbon wise. -
the best water proof arborist jacket to date
markieg31 replied to markrufrider's topic in General chat
Used to wear on years ago. Was an old jacket hence started using it for work. The outer material didnt last long at all. -
I have got my trailer ticket so no worries on that front. The limiting factor here is the 90 horse transit and the hills round these part so my inquiry is mainly to see how much heavier the chippers are in comparison in an effort so gauge if i am going to be going bavkwards down dunkery. It is already a second and first gear job

I would have thought that the entec would weigh more than the later tw150 as there is a a few more metal parts present on the emtec that are not on the 150

Hi guys and girls, contemplating a new, new to me, old chipper and am wondering about weights. For reference would any one know the weight of Jensen a528? entec ch35 ? Had the jensen and currently got the entec but considering changing and am looking at either the the jensen a530, which i know i will be able to tow round yer okay, and tw 190 but wondering how that in compares in weight to the old pencil sharpeners i have had/got. Any help much appretiated.

Hi all I have a 98 entec twin feed, old style agricultural feed controls. The valve block, excuse the crass terminology here, control job feels like, after 20 years, is getting a bit crunchy and or loose. So I thought I would do something about it before it lets me down and therefor was hoping I could just overhaul it. Is that something that can be done easily. Can attach pics if necessary Many thanks Mark

Naff idea imo

I have worked with a chap who has one of these winches set up on some pallet forks for the back of his tractor. Winch is on a remote. I used it for felling some trees off a bank and it wad a pure breeze. Very quick and has a fairly decent pull! On a digger it would be a weapon. Shame a drone hasnt been made to connect cable to the timber yet.

All comes at a price... may be better looking for a machine with it allready installed.

Old entec antistress can not be sourced any more. The tw 150 antistress can be supplied but i think you need to upgrade to the feed control box above the hopper. If you have the feed control on the stop bar i recon it is easier to fit the jensen antistress.

Wifes car. Got to the top of porlock hill when it decided to sh!t its self. Had to roll all the way back down backwards. And then tow it home

Looking to go hp as it will wprknout better tax wise i think. Have seen a couple of dmax second hand on main dealer website 20k miles and considerably cheaper than new low spec ones.
-
think 35 would be the best to expect on a pick up. An old isuzu 2.5td 02 would get 40 and may be 45 on a run but was gutless. i am looking for a 4x4 double cab btw for a mix of farming, tree work and mountain bike uplift amongst other things
-
What is the cheapest main stream pick up on the market? Looking for low spec truck, no need for chrome, alloys and leather seats. Got to be a double cab. When you look for comparisons on trucks all you find is top spec motors which are a waste of time on the farm.

I was trying the sugi narrow kerf bar with oregon chain. Had one bar that lasted a month before the nose sproket disintegrated and got a replacement only for the same thing to happen again in a very short space of time. Both times i was just cutting some timber, no reason for it to bust. First bar i greased the nose second one i did not, the end result was the same.

I have sprayed with a 50liter single pump using a regulator. Done the job fine but it is running the whole time trying to keep up with the demand. Used a 70 litre one with a sperate pump and motor, much much quieter, fills the tank real fast and can more than keep up with the demands of spraying, get short periods of quiet before the pump kicks in again and pumps up tyres a lot quicker. But as said a 25l one will blow off your saws so if that's what you need it for than why have anything bigger.

Is that a mower deck as well, looks like that tractor does it all!!!!

If it was legal to carry a gun they would not have bothered with the knife. they would have been straight in there with the gun.

My 02 transit single cab. Steel bed and sides with ply greedy boards weighs 2250 empty with no driver giving me a 1250 carrying capacity.

Planting contractor (s) required West Somerset
markieg31 replied to Big J's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Rather you than me. I have the utmost respect for the pro planters that can wallop them in day after day on the most challenging of sites. I have done a fair share of it in the past and it is something I always try and price myself out of- doesn't always work! -
Lets get a consensus here. I think for the most part people, vesp not inc, think that the burning cardboard Grenfell was of bad taste and was quite a bit more than distasteful. But who thinks that the police response was just, considering that (at least round me) the police target response time seems to be 3 days and that would be for an actual assault.

I was always told that road going engines don't quite work the same as a commercial engine. something along the lines of the lorry engine in the tractor would get bogged down more easily when it gets put under load. perhaps not the same sort of torque being produced.

They used to do ones that looked similar to the pro tipper but this looks like the latest incarnation, I am sure there is reasons why they have gone from twin to a single ram, perhaps they could use a multistage ram but then that would add to the cost. Give them a ring if your interested, they are nice chaps who came out and showed me one on the back of a hilux a couple of years ago- I am local to them. But it looked solid and had a smooth tipping action and it was easily removable as well so you can return your bed back to standard when the tipper is not needed. furthermore they can fab up something to your spec like if you wanted high sides etc.
