Its because we are old Catweazel I was sat in a traffic jam on the southbound carriageway of the A3 yesterday because a truck fire had wrecked a lane. I was staring up at the banks looking at all the 30`+ Birch, gorse and bramble thinking it resembled a jungle. Twenty odd years ago we cleared about fifteen miles of this with mulchers , cutters and whatever else we could get up the ridiculously steep banks. Anyway the idea was to maintain the banks thereafter so this never needed doing again, I sighed and thought why do we bother Bob

I would be nervous of any winching ops that did not use a ground anchor/spades. Maybe consider something like this if ground conditions permit and just rest the machines arm on it for extra piece of mind. Bob http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=186349&stc=1&d=1437226631

Taking a sneaky eyelash behind a bush is nothing to worry about. Its when you see an oppo disappear behind a bush with a bog roll or newspaper you need to panic. Bob

Thanks for the heads up on that Eggs, I have forwarded the link, can you resend the Pm my inbox needed dunging out. Spiral we have a fair bit of oak here so I will do a sample using the bleach method and see how it turns out. Bob

Potter along, read the road, dont brake hard, dont accelerate hard, go round corners slowly and keep an eye on tyre pressures. I cant do it but the old boy that used to drive the l200 drove like this and he got ridiculous milleage out of the BFG A/T, he also got north of 30mpg most of the time which is crazy for one of those.

Renting a bit of space to a tree surgeon just for security of his truck and kit is one thing , allowing the place to become a chip dump,burn site and firewood processing yard is another. I am just about to divide a bit of space out the front into four small units for tree surgeons and there are enough takers. That will be a 20`shipping container with a 15`gap and gates on the front, no chip,logs or firewood. Bob

Its all down to complaints, if the traffic movements, noise and mess become a nuisance factor the local councils will receive complaints , then its game over. Keep it low profile and run uninterrupted for 10 years and a lawful use cert can be applied for. Other than that shove in an application, if there are no objections it will sail through on the 28 day notice. Bob

They have made hard work of these tests, if you look at my license you will see that the car and bike test were the same day, I passed the car test and sat in the waiting room for two minutes and the same tester came back in the room and called out my name for the bike test. No highway code questions because I had just done them in the car , just a few laps of the streets around the depot and that was that, 2 hours max.The HGV1 was the same, an hour or so driving and a few highway code questions.

If its a domestic drive with services running under it I would go for block paving. If at anytime you need to dig it up the paving is easy to reinstate. Bob

Even the wooden ones are a bit lumpy. We just had an artic load of the concrete ones on a job, 100 of them is 30 ton:thumbdown:

Buy any aggregates by the ton in the winter from a waterlogged quarry if you want to see a "legit" variation in volume. Bob

Most self employed here could add machine driver, cutter, truck driver, mechanic, social worker, shrink ,doctor, money lender,financial adviser, diplomat, accountant, office worker, estimator ,surveyor and fool to their list of qualifications. Bob

I will have to bow down here at this point Tom because I have never been involved with cubic meter bags of logs. I just have this vision that the big logs wont go into a bag as easily as the smaller logs unless you are really trying hard to organise the contents. Pallet stacking for sure would be heavier with the big logs. Please dont use the word logic anywhere near my name again Bob
-
I dont think we are arguing about the same thing here. Obviously a cubic meter of timber is going to be app a ton and busting it down is only going to increase the volume.My argument is if you were just tossing big lumps of logs in a cubic meter bag it will not load without massive airgaps. The smaller logs will settle down in the same space with less overall wasted space. If we are laying them down carefully on a pallet in an organised manner the bigger logs will be heavier. When the lads load chogs in the bin like this with the telehandler they get a fraction of the weight in there that can be achieved by hand stacking smaller stuff. Bob
