8 all day even with a transit. You will learn to back it more where you want but they are push able with 2 people. Also the time saved snedding out forks and the joy of watching lots more connifer disappear will more than cover the extra fuel to drag it around. Fuel usage is about the same for the chipper between 6 and 8, but I’ve not run a petrol chipper so can’t comment on them

As mick says. I find it easier to drop the hopper off for access but it’s not needed just makes it a little easier if you have a loader or a extra pair of hands.

I would be interested to see how you go with them, keep us updated.

Get some hormone rooting powder and give it a go, what yew got to lose?

A decent axe will send out quicker than a silky but will have a higher our lay cost. If your on a budget the Stihl turbo hand saw cuts quicker but won’t last as long as a silky

No worries, just shout if you need to speak to someone out side of the events. I’ve seen similar before and it fair messed with me at the time.

Look after yourself eggs, life is seriously shit sometimes 😢

I was feeling brave!

I missed that 🤦♂️

have you got access to a bore scope? I found the end of a plastic piston stop on the top of a piston once that made a saw bind up every so often. You may be able to see through the exhaust port. other thought is have you taken the starter cord side cover off? Unusual but could be something amis in there that is binding 🤔

I did a day with John at Arborventure training. If your any where near the new forest they are well worth talking to. I would also add a big shot and a few throw lines to your list, high anchors make srt

Why just why? And if you do have to insist to post this crap why post it in training and education your doing neither, well I guess we have been educated in the fact you like the sound of your own voice. -
The answer is you don’t get a tpo removed, it doesn’t happen, yes it can, but almost all tree officers won’t play that game so you need to play there game and put in the application and await a decision. Normally once a tree officer gets to know you, and (the standard of) your work and your not wanting to destroy the trees they tend to become a bit more easy going and happy to work with you. In the first instance you need to play the game and build a relationship, every tree owner and worker has to go through this.

Hedge laying needs to be done because you love doing it. Yes you can earn a living but most will tell you it’s a modest one so if you don’t enjoy doing it your stuffed! also like climbing it will take you at least a couple of year to become good enough at it to earn decent money in my mind. Have seen many learn the craft there are only a few that pick it up and run with it from day one

I’ve seen similar done with fencing gripples before. Ground anchors aren’t new but I’ve not seen it done with ratchet straps.

Some have a joint that has fingers on both sides, it is designed to fail to stop you damaging the engine or pump. Unfortunately they work to well and only last so long. what I’m thinking looks like this: Petrol Engine Drive Coupling, Pump Half, Group 2 Pump To 1" Shaft WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Petrol Engine Drive Coupling, Pump Half, Group 2 Pump To 1" Shaft. most hydraulic shops will get you one

I really wanted a clapping 👏 thingy in the bottom corner. Your bang on, bloody idiots.

Oh it’s fallen off has it sir? That will be 3 points and a fine for insecure load then 🤣
-
The tail board was there when I left officer, the lights and number plate were all on the tail board and in good working order, we checked the lights before I left the yard honest ‘guv

Will you two get a room 🙄
-
Can you turn it over as many times as you like with the pull cord housing off or does it still bind at a full turn?
-
I’m with stubby, Shirley it must have you looked at the pawls? Are the engaging properly?
-
The way they tip looks like the lights are protected from what ever your tipping out 🤔
