What an interesting post!
-
I know what you're saying dug, but you'd be suprised, technically they don't but if some thing sits on the ground long enough it might have a go, I've seen a kestrel take a swerve towards a squirrel seemingly just for laughs.
-
Nice looking job anyway (ps, it's a kestrel, honest)
-
Strange place for a kestrel to sit. Love the little Boxer, but they do make a mess of grass.

It's all about handling. You pick up a branch, maybe trim it, place it on the trailer, then you pick it up again to stack it, then you pick it up again to chip it. That's a minimum of three times. If you chip it on site you've touched it once. It just not economic.
-
I don't know your situation, but if you have a chipper and store the brush, then chip it later with your own chipper (which you had all the time) you're mad!

You'll never exterminate the greys, far, far far too late for that.
-
In this particular discussion you remind me of the knight in Monty Python and the holy grail who gets his arms and legs cut off and still wants to fight. "Tis only a scratch!"
-
It's often a prerequisite if an application for felling a protected tree is approved. Can be a nice little earner.
-
I've no experience of all that, but I'd check out the Yankee forums for advice as well. Tree buzz, Arborsite, and The Treehouse are the main ones I think.

I say lets go and smash some spinning wheels and looms while we're at it.

25 years ago, walking back from a club/rave, that would have unhinged me!

So what are your business plans/ambitions for the new year?
Mountain man replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Oh gawd, we're not going to go all weepy are we? Isn't there another thread for that? My ambitions are to get a barn up for firewood and machines out the back, and stop the occasional catastophic underprice that still plague me after more than 20 years. -
Get a second hand 4x4 and a tranny tipper and you'll still have change from 23 grand. Plus you'll have two usable vehicles rather than some half baked hybrid.

Another pic, I think he said it was made in Finland
-
this was the thing I looked I looked at, only half seriously, I forget how it worked exactly but you pot the branches in and it cut and split them then put them on the belt, it could be adjusted to do kindling as well, it ran straight off a pto, the flywheel was quite heavy, so it needed a bigger tractor or the "tail would wag the dog" Maybe your right, I can't see why the seller would liee to me though.
-
What's stopping you chucking the bar away, dismantling it a bit and taking it on as luggage?
-
I looked at one, talked to the guy but he told me you need more power than a compact tractor can provide. You need a fair bit of grunt to smash that stuff up.
-
"Parts bingo" I like that.

What species of tree can't be crown reduced?
Mountain man replied to JosephD's topic in Tree health care
I have always found yew to be a tree both difficult to reduce and reacts badly to it. -
By way of actually helping there is a thread on here by Dean Lofthouse I think where he stripped and replaced the bearings on a TW with pictures. I used it when me and a mate did mine to good effect. I don't know how to do links.......anyone?
-
Are you sure there's not an issue? Like a rear light out through poor trailer electrics.
-
Shouldn't it be "tax return savvy" btw.
-
Sure, I understand, I'm not sure it precludes all established scientific theory, just says that what's known now is not all there is to know. It was established scientific theory that the sun rotated round the earth, that it was flat, and more recently the atom could never be split. How will we regard our EST in 100 years?
