I will see what I can find, it was before the days of the Ipad and dumping all the pictures onto photobucket but there must be a snap of it somewhere. Bob

[quote name=No offence meant chap.[/quote] None taken eggs I personally feel we short change the kids that are not the academic sort, many of these kids would be better off channeled into a trade at an early age long before they leave school. Perhaps identify them and get them into college learning practical skills rather than leave them festering in the education system where they become disruptive. The employment rules and regs also need a tweek to allow the younger ones into the construction industry earlier, this crap of being eighteen before being allowed on a site is nonsense, by eighteen most kids have got two years of hairbrained further education courses under their belt with the associated dossers mindset firmly in place.

Steady on eggs, like many that advertise here we are just looking for guys on away jobs for a few weeks here and there. Our regular guys hate the travel and working away so I try to get local guys as and when. To date they have all been grateful for the work which makes it a win win situation.The only thing we cant seem to find are decent machine drivers with a forestry background, very thin on the ground. No shortage of normal machine drivers though. Bob

Ferrirotor Rotor S Stump Drill / Grinder - wanted
aspenarb replied to Morris's topic in Large equipment
I was thinking its a bit of a chocolate teapot. On a nice flat site where all the stumps are of a uniform small diameter it will be ok. In my experience this is rarely the case and the tractor will never get level to do a straight drill. I also wonder how it would get on when the stump is bigger than the drill, how would the drill center and stay on the bit remaiming when going for a second bite ? I can see this just wandering off center and missing loads. Cant see these machines replacing a conventional grinder. Just thoughts. Bob -
Well done Andrew Neil for openly saying what most people are thinking. Bob

Large quantity probably an artic and a half of cord and rings
aspenarb replied to TOMLEAF's topic in Firewood forum
A car made by Honda I think the OP is referring to the timber being cordwood ie all the same length and not the unit measure of a cord which is just over 3.5 cubic meters of timber. Bob -
I have been down the powerpack route many years ago and they work but they have to hang off the machine somewhere which is never ideal. The best machine I have built for this was when I ripped out the six pot kubota engine from the 6 ton machine we had and fitted a six cylinder perkins lorry engine. The standard pump for the machine went on the back of the engine and a massive pump for the mulcher ran off the front of the crank, this was piped straight to the mulcher head . With this the engine did little more than idle which made the machine a doddle to drive but the mulcher was spinning at about 2500 rpm tirelessly all day , the nuts Downside was with the bigger hydraulic tank and all the guarding it looked like something out of a madmax movie Bob

You will run into the same problem running a grinder on a 360 as fitting a flail.The flow rate available from the machine is not all available for the attachment, flow to the attachment will drop like a stone when slewing. Unfortunately slewing is a big part of grinding on a 360. Bob

Bird you are doing ok and the guys are just pointing out that you need to take a look at your costings while making sure depreciation of kit is dialed into your pricing strategy. I think its important to make your own mistakes on pricing and learn from that, I still drop the odd clanger as many on here do. Good luck on your new adventure. Bob

Deep snow is bad news for a Jackapoo Bob

I dont think a saw would last long in that lot Mick, most of the trees have wire nailed to them and steel pegs growing into some . Its an old disused allotment full of crap. Bob

No just push them over with the bar and mulch them. Its not very red any more, this pics a few months old now

Price will depend on whether you can load at point of collection and unload on delivery. If you can Palletways normally charge about £60 ish if its mainland England, more if the pallet is bigger than standard. Bob

A mate cleared some rubbish off a job for me with this little gem.

My 6200 Kubota is road registered from new, I just filled in the reg form with the serial number, proof of purchase and year then sent the whole lot off to DVLA. Got the logbook back after about two weeks, if you cant prove year it ends up on a Q like an old massey I have. Bob

I had one with a side arm on and thought it was brilliant, never gave any grief. A mate bought it off me and its behaved itself for him as well, maybe just the luck of the draw. Bob

Only 50% of the time, the rest was spent on foot prodding about wondering what dirty great hole I was going to drop in too next. Bob
