    I know whas you means I must stop doing that, also have a scarret blade to tackle that stuff its just the hassle of changing it so I rarely use it ☺️ Gorse is a bugger as often hard to see where you cutting just a wall of thorns to get though first to reveal the stems. Might be handy for Donnie also:

    Looks overall very healthy will be fine either way - left alone or tidy/thin out the damaged stems. Looks from the growth like a tree species that could be coppiced/cut to the ground again as would still thrive like a bay laurel...

    Why are the hyundai ones rubbish? I though the idea was to use thoose? Yeah what i was thinking A plus is having less fumes and cheaper to run, but with the downsides of weight and performance v a 2stroke. Maybe ok for the honda brushcutter with proper bullhorns and antivibe mounts though ive never used that one, only tried a smaller honda witha loop handle that that was bad......

    How will they erase hamas unless they kill all 2 million people as the ones killed can be replaced by new recruits eventually? Whats the long term plan for Gaza? Doesn't seem anyway now thats leads to a postive outcome.....for either side.

    Is there a modern eqivalent/any new ideas for slopes? I remember seeing one on being swung about on the end of a rope last yrs & thinking there must be some new ideas........ Was at Conwy castle round the base of the walls no room for large machines & alot of area of awarkward slopes, all very steep.... I know some fancy remote control ones can do slopes but think thoose slopes were just to steep....for any other machines......

    I got some curved shears from the japan amazon shop thats are very good on laurel etc. There like loppers that mated with shears & sit between in the function they do. You can got at it hacking back chunky stuff rapidly witht them once you get your eye in but there not very good on the fine stems like at the end of the video. Sometimes use a 18v makita cordless topper for thicker stuff also

    Where are you getting the trees from - can't be many places selling such species?
  14. Stere
    Proabably it depends on the spline pattern & shaft diameter

    About 5yrs until decent crop Size is governed by which rootstock you choose

    Hedges best to have a slight trapezoid shape = more light at bottom. Yours is kind of upside down atm so idealy top needs narrowing to encourage lower down to sprout Then in few yrs time & if trimmed lightly as it regenerates (it will branch more & get dense faster) it will return to how it looked before

    Are thoose 200 6ft tall SC stumps still there and sprouting?

    Its never gonna be a good dense nice looking hedge wrong species, but should thicken back up abit after a few yrs & help hide what looks like some plastic litter...... You could plant some othe stuff in the gaps yew or beech etc if you want a thicker hedge
  21. Stere
    Carpet is really bad imo as plastic bits everywhere as it breaks down Unless its a 100% woolen one....but hardly any are now....

    How about try the farming forum there is a job listing on there....

    Think the one above might be made in ukraine

    I like the look of this little one with its own tracked dumper would be ideal for hazel: There are so may makers & sizes performace must be variable as to blockages?
  25. Stere
    Maybe ideal would be a camper /van sleep in tha back take your own provisions park on site, as mentioned 1 hrs travel from digs. Would be quite nice in the summer if you had a nice setup maybe less so in winter with less daylight
