If it were me I'd price the job as a whole, cost of grinder hire plus say.....200/250 for you. You might finish it by the end of the morning. Just my thoughts not worth anyone jumping down my neck.

It depends on the machine, a non pedestrian grinder ie rayco 1625 or similar can get through a 36 in gate, will rattle those of in a couple of hours max, a HB20 (pedestrian grinder) about the same. Some crappy 13hp job will take all day. Are those concrete footings on that new fence?

Great set of photos Bob.
-
Yes, unusually for me, I do.

12 years ago or so in woking or wokingham, can't remember. Note the ring on its way down.

Peter, get your mind above the waistline!

Take the rough with the smooth, early finishes and plenty of them with me, no log splitting or suchlike to make up the day (well maybe a bit if it's done by lunchtime) so when the odd nightmare job comes up, it's ok, no real grumbling.

They get rewarded by their wages.

What do you think?
-
What a ridiculously simple and good idea.

The whole depth thing is a bit of a grey area, mostly when grinding you move forward on the grindings thereby lifting the machine. If you remove the excess and do another run through you're going lower anyway. Swing is more important than a couple of inches of perceived depth imo.

Good pics all, Josharb, love the avant (730?)
-
From what I can see from the pictures I'd say this^^^^^is the best solution.

Cheers.

Fwiw I'm TVA registered as well Stu if that's worries you. I got quoted over 3 grand for a uniforest. Have to try harder I guess.

Who makes that winch? Got a link?

36. Love that thing! On certain jobs you can place the branches right on the hopper of the gm220. Saves hours of ball ache.

Bad story, appreciate you telling us.

Went a bit easy on that oak I reckon. No climbing today, leylandii removal, compact tractors rooooool!
-
Those red ones from earlier in the thread that went to Oz, ended up in Vanuatu I reckon. I saw a 1928 (I think) on that Dart rescue thread.

Ok, I'm going to do this, even though I've always eschewed it, here's mine and I'll like the last 10 on here. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Angoulême-élagageabattage-et-desouchage/643110392486133?ref=aymt_homepage_panel.

I've told this story before but.... I had a mate out here who owned a property with knotweed. I gave him all the horror stories about how invasive it is, difficult of eradication etc. He just cut it with a strimmer then planted grass seed, kept mowing and it disappeared. I would say bamboo is a bigger issue.

Ok got it.
