    I think they have gone down hill massively. My first pair lasted years. My latest haven't even lasted months! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Lol, my phone thought it must be a female sheep! The root balls are massive at 24" wide so should be stable enough. Thanks for the help Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    No support or staking, trees on site already (more like bushes to be honest) no liability either Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Hi chaps, Have been asked to plant 15 7ft ewe trees. It's not our normal thing but we have a big auger for our boxer so thought why not. Just after some advice really in how long it may take? Spec is to plant 15 trees, dig 36" wide whole, 20" deep. Fill with 6" sand then 2" soil. Plant then back fill with top soil. All materials are on site, waste soil can be moved on site. I thought maybe two men and a boxer one day? Never done it so would appreciate any advice? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    After 1.5hrs of using my brand new predator 28RX today I managed to crack a pipe fitting on the bottom of the track drive and leak most of the hydraulic oil everywhere! Must of driven over a small stick. It really looks like it needs a protective plate to save the dangly pipes from destruction. Has anybody made any Mods to theirs? Thought it would be a bit more robust! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    For the last three days I have made the mistake of trimming conifer hedges using a scaffold tower. Just wondered if anyone else uses an amazing special ladder or push along platform thingy? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I've got my quad insured with the NFU on a tractor policy and its costs just under £200 a year with road use and any driver. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    My Chipper is insured with the NFU for £10k cover as part of my tipper insurance. Cost me an extra £80 a year, that was it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I do my own. Got an old surface grinder off eBay. Works a treat. Doesn't take long depending what's ended up through the chipper! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
