  2. Nice tractor! Butlers at Newbury had a fordson with a winch when I work there 3 years ago but I have pulled trees that big over with a tirfor before no problem as long as you have a good anchor Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. You will probably need a long reach trimmer to reach the middle of top top otherwise if you try to lean in off a ladder you could fall in the bush and spoil the shape! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  6. Is it manna ash fraxinus ornus, worked on a couple of these recently branches and leaves a little more delicate looking than common ash Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  8. There is no shortcut for preparing the ground properly before turfing. Why spend all that money on turf to have it go brown, lumpy or have weeds grow through it?! Here's what I wood do - Cut it all down Dig out all the roots Add extra topsoil if needed to bring the level up Then lay turf Even then you may not get all the roots/ bulbs up and these will push thru the turf when they grow but can be mowed away or left if not in the way. After saying all that you could just do wat my old man does in his garden just keep mowing over the old beds until it turns to grass which it eventually will and fill in any holes as needed, ( he doesn't like spending money) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  9. I was going to suggest a shredding blade like we use at work these are great for anything tall or long reducing it to flat mulch quickly they are especially good on brambles. But I did a quick search on Google 'mulching blades brush cutter' and found 3 tooth mulching blades, these look better for grass. Using string is good but I always find I spend more time replacing/ untangling it than working! Get the biggest stihl brush cutter u can these are great machines Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
