How easy is it to acquire a road sweeper for thoose awkward tidy ups along the roadside where wheel barrowing, and rake up is difficult.. I'm guessing it is relevant to Arbtalk for big enough job by the roadside, but then you'd be working along side highways with traffic control and road cleanup would be factored in to the job. Having previously worked for the council, long sections of path have been blown down to road for a sweeper to collect by mini scarab sweeper or HgV sweeper. This was well co-ordinated very handy as gulleys and alsorts of pathways could be cleared at once. I work for a village council with a budget, and as far as I know don't hireor contract sweepers but wondered how I might go about planning my leaf blowing activities with a road sweeping day, possibly finding out if highways have to clean my villages roads as part of the counties maintenance for the whole network.

Pfanner Arborist or Ventilator trousers - Summer
woodwoozles replied to Jay_UK's topic in Climbers talk
I've got planner trousers also. Not sure why, but something inside, maybe the lining is itchy, particularly as I have a skin condition, varicose vein. This was okay in the winter when I could ware leggings (thermal trousers) but no good for now when it's hot. I'm thinking maybe get seamstress to sow in something. I've had repairs done to my chainsaw trousers before and know it's a heavy material to work on. Anyone had this issue with the lining being itchy ? What did you do about it? I also bought some chaps online for the summer they work fine aslong as you have the right shorts underneath so the straps don't chaff. -
Fair play, we should do that regardless if it's Chinese or not. And Food wise that's not such a bad idea 🫔🌮🍝🍤🍜

Hi group, Searching Oulide w25-5 brings you to a very similar machine to the kubota u27-4. Has anyone had experience with Chinese Copys of leading brand equipment. Have you had any success and how do you go about getting parts .

There's a post here somewhere talking about cross compatibility of combi/Kombi units. Can Anyone put me in to ge right direction. So I'll explain what I mean in jest I talk of cross breeding. I'm Simply meaning Stihl possibly being able to run Hyundai equipment for example. I was given a 240v Aldi pole hedge cutter. The motor burnt out. Yes I could get parts. Or thrown it to land fill. Seams a waste. But perhaps the unit could be pared to a petrol power unit. Does anyone know about compatability with other brands, I'm presuming it's Todo with shaft diameter [emoji2957] and Splines matching up. Worx, Lidl Flora best, B&q powerpro If budget/ noname brands attachments, (bought by those home owners or dIYist) could be used with commercial power units. There may be a saving time made If there redily available or gifted by the customer as unwanted. Yes they may not last as well but a free replacement for a season is a saving.

Long reach hedge cutter / pole saw. Recommendations.
woodwoozles replied to flanagaj's topic in General chat
We cleared two paths amounting to 700ft in Hampshire. we Had privately owned Stihl brush cutter with mulching blade fitted.strimmer head and back pack blower. We wore high viz but didn't have signage. Whilst working a hedge cutter got nicked. Next time if we buy and use signs they will be locked to a tree. Supposedly I could only do this with the heavy type, not folding. The mulching head worked well for thick brambles but strimmer made good finish of ivy grass and ferns. Cuttings/orisons were blown into open parts of the trail to compost down. Yup flail machine would be ideal. Permission from the council and funding was granted. -
But that's a loaded question ?

Wow just what I'm looking for .looks like it's self propelled. Would it be a good as a Skarper? I was looking at there C90 model. Initially I would transport it in the van or small quad trailer around an estste. Ide chip into a trailer or directly into the customers garden. I would use it occasionally for my own gardening business and some clearance ocassional work. Ide hope to be more efficient, get away from filling a trailer with brash branches ect having to flat cut it. Then if the customer cant be persuaded [emoji2957][emoji2962]that it's a good mulch and they don't want it, it needs to be stored. Then there's some of my regular customers with large bits of land and sections of field hedges with lop and top ide hope it would be good enough to do that say once twice a year . Yes I know you can rent timberwolfs

Pond enlarging, ditches and stocking with fish.

Can seeking advice from government bodies create more problems above the precivebale Assistance. While we are trying to add to and manage are existing pond and wildlife area we are are considering talking to our local councils and environment agencies, plus also the New forest park. Can involving too many bodies create problems with conflicting ideas and legality? -

The thought about using it for both Reservoir for irrigating and fish pond was that we'd section it off..again will need some though and research. Either the pond or the Reservoir or both may not be a worthy investment so we want to talk around the pros and cons. Largely money has a bit part of whether we go ahead. We should also be looking to the future for environment and also how we use the land, what the usage is and how and what services we could provide to the public. These changes WILL we've been told by financial advisor, get the inheritance tax down. -
