You're joking, you have to be!

Thing is, the concept of grinding stumps just below ground level sounds simple, but.... grinding stumps from the top down is much harder than grinding them sideways, or at least at 45 degrees, it's just the way the wood "comes away" also species is important. Ash is less of pleasure to grind than say oak. in conclusion, your "budget grinder" will cost you more than subbing it out.

"Almost finished the first tank" sooooo close to getting your money's worth!

Will the madness ever stop?

Incredible!

They're all rubbish, can't carry diddly. if Land Rover's are the best, God help you.

It's all hypothetical though, anyway I'll desist. It's not the place/thread. -
Behave! the old "you don't know how lucky you are just climbing trees, no responsibilities" chestnut. Do people still fall for that from their bosses?

Over a building or suchlike perhaps, over a woodland footpath with little footfall I'd do nothing. Armchair quarterback stuff of course.

Kudos, well done.

It's in the little black box, there's should be a few of them, replace them all. After that (if that doesn't work) take it to a proper chipper repair place, is what I would do. No point poking and prodding if you don't know much about them.

Or pressing it down, as HTB says go for relays first on TWs.

Winched these up a slope (2.5 meter lengths for pallets) the winch did groan a bit in fairness!

I use this on my Kubota (35e I think 300kg, wouldn't want much heavier) sensational bit of kit, yesterday I was dragging willow across a river and up a slope, easy stuff. As for felling it is a great asset, you don't have to set the line too high on the tree to get it over, saves a lot of time.

Use for White Poplar other than second rate firewood?

The poplar plantations here are mostly for pallets. -
Ha ha, we've all done it, tiptoed round the edges of the roof with the pole saw at full extension.

Even I knew you were joking. -

It's always been there (if you're getting this) -
A lot depends on the spout height on your chipper, 1/2 to 3/4 roof will usually be enough.

Ha ha Joe. I miss Tony Sorensen, he was a great debater, I remember a few like this.... -

Flatters, arbogrunt, Jonny walker, Mick Stockbridge, Rupe amongst others, people come and go, I understand that. I'm not looking through rose coloured specs. Maybe the forum world has become a bit like town high streets, small independents catching the eye of the large conglomerates (FB) who try to steamroller them.
