  1. That's a great groundie .ground dog ,works harder than some of the young lads of today.
  2. im jealous...why dont we get flat ground,straight trees and sunshine.....
  3. Matches are cheap,and tyres are free
  4. One night if you do anot emergence survey,then you need to fell tree ASAP, ie within 48 hours,if given the all clear.just had one done cost 250 quid but was a condition imposed by council to allow felling to take place,if bats found then it gets complicated.
  5. i hope so .sent details to you by pm.
  6. Better still remove fences and hire in a tracked mulcher, two passes job done,and replace fences,then replant something nice
  7. Had a contractor offer me 1000 tonnes of processor friendly hardwood ,going to be felled in the new year.too much for me to take it all.located in Scottish Borders. I said I would see if anyone wanting some. Let me know if interested and I will pass your details to contractor,or pa you his details so you can do a deal.price mid 40s a ton collected.
  8. Sequoia giantuunm need spikes about a foot long!
  9. Easy.remove wooden fences,fell trees onto lawn,winch up hill and feed thro crane fed chipper at top of hill.job done one day and no sweat.
  10. Maybe it's an over 50 moment,one does forget things with age. Or else the intruder felt pity for you and left some cash in the ashtray. Sounds like you got away lightly eggs
  11. Any plans afoot for a raffle this year.hope so.
  12. Two on ebay at the moment one at about 5k the other about 2.5 but still bidding. Don't ask me to post links..... Over my head
  13. As above then go to you.local a dealer and buy a water remover to two.they are tubes filled with absorbent granules which will suckl the remaining water from tank.I would also drop one in chipper tank.they hang on a wire so you can remove them easily. Works for me when had 350 litres of water gas oil in tractor tank (from a farm tank with hole in lid)
  14. is that saw dust hiding an overcut on the sink cut? mm cant blame totty as no photographic evidence. 6.8
  15. In my house (4 bed farmhouse)the previous occupiers bur ed 500 litres of oil a month.I burn 500 litres a year now but burn 3 cubic metres a month of wood .if wood cost me £60 a cube that would be 180.now oil at 45present a litre would be £225 so how does that stack up?.of course I get my logs for free so I am lsughing:thumbup:
  16. I am a bit far away but charge £35 an hour
  17. You should have said an ex mate brought me some poplar,unless it was free!
  18. I wouldn't let my crane trailer go out on a hire unless I went with it to operate it ,bit like lending out a saw.probably cheaper to hire in an owner operator to do the job and saves you the hassle of you bend it you mend it.plus an experienced operator will be far more efficient than someone who is a casual user or learner..just my thoughts
  19. Manic here done 50 cube so far this week and still got the last minute guys to deal with tomorrow and sunday.snowing and freezing so Will be busy .I love the Scottish winter
  20. Did you check the revs or set governor?
  21. Storing wood in shipping containers is not good ....too much condensation, unless you get the gas axe out and cut many holes in it
