We used to have a cundy Diesel peeler where I used to work. It was very old pretty sure it had decompression levers on the engine to start it

I wore hi flex for 5 years. Hot and heavy. Had these sip couple of weeks now and they are much cooler and lighter. Can't comment on durability tho

Glad I was fencing today then! Got sunburnt on the backs of me legs so asked the customer if she had any sun cream. She went inside to get it and I was looking forward to a slippery rub, but then she just sprayed it on! Posh stuff

Just cut them all down in the winter when they are bearing no fruit. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I wore shorts cos I was fencing today, but first had to pick up some hedge cuttings from a job someone did for me yesterday. Got there and the bushes hadn't been cut low enough, needs must so I fired up the topper and took off another 12 inches so the bushes were below the bottom of the windows like I had told him. The cleaning company owner who I was working for turned up didn't bat an eyelid and was happy with the work we had done. If I'd had known I would have worn my jeans. Will I go to prison?

It looks different. I'm with you joe I'm sticking to the old one

A Devon shovel would be better. Much the same as a Devon shovel but years of hard use rounds the point off and sharpens the edge like a razor.

Hi Oakley, the job is between Andover and Newbury in Hampshire.
-
Good idea, or they could reverse over it as I have had to do in the past
-
Thanks for the replies. Does anyone want to come and give me a price for a large tractor and flail topper to do the job?
-
Think animals would just trample it down and then still have to top it after. Plus to much hassle for me and owners.
-
That's the figure I had in mind plus a day to cut round the edge
-
Yep that's what I thought.

Hi all, As part of a job I have just looked at the client wants this paddock topped. He thinks it hasn't been cut for about 6 years. I have walked around it and although there are no young saplings growing in it and very few brambles the grass is tussocky and thick and feels lumpy underfoot. I'm guessing that a small tractor and topper is just going to struggle and make a mess. So what would be the best option? The reason for cutting it is that the property is now on the market and the owner wants to tidy it up. The field is about 2 acres and I would have to use a brush cutter fount the edges. Also what would be the approximate cost of getting it done. Thanks Will

We've all done it. My mate even mixed up 5 litres of diesel and 2 stroke oil and put that in my husky and his Stihl. Husky didn't like it and would not start but his 461 ran a whole tank through it.

The cure for it is to poke the tree back in and hope it doesn't go too brown before someone looks over what you have done -
I left a job today to go to my little boys first sports day. He won his first race and only came third in the bean bag race cos he's slipped from trying too hard but was catching the two infront as he went for the line. It was great to see him trying so hard. After I went back to work. I think I've got the balance right! Sorry bit off topic there! Good to have you back on the forum stefan, I like your can do attitude, but don't try and catch your grinder again- they're heavy old machines. Hope your leg gets better soon. Bet you didn't stay off work long eh?!
-
Ok great thanks mark. Maybe a little too far away tho. I will speak to him and see if he is prepared to go that far
-
You're in Devon arn't you? Yeah too far but thanks anyway. I'll try my mates wood pile, but don't think he'll have any hornbeam, he will have to make do with something else. Thanks Will
-
I have been asked at short notice ( someone else let him down) by someone who wants 10 different species for table names at a wedding. I already have some of the ones he wants but struggling to get hornbeam elm and willow. He lives in Newbury and I live near Marlborough so can collect if not to far. Can anyone help? Thanks Will Heal

Is that seriously a legitimate way to get round it?
-
hi Paul, I got up early enough to see the sun rise this morning, should have taken the picture earlier but only just thought of it.

Bit of commie bashing this week one had roots growing from the branch into the compost on the shed roof
