Morning all, Lazy day today. Going for a test trip with Rosiedog (chocolate lab) in passenger footwell of Hilux next to wife’s feet to see if she settles. Going on busman’s holiday soon to Scotland and need to know she will travel ok. She’s fine in the van but not tried the footwell option before.

Looking for flail for small tractor
maybelateron replied to Alan Smith's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I have had the opposite experience. 20+ years ago briefly used a finger bar mower on a Forsdon Power Major, then a disc mower on same tractor, then a 6ft Major topper, well built and solid. For the last 15 years I have had a 5ft hammer flail on the back of my 40hp Kubota STV40. The flails have picked up a metal shovel, a 12ft metal gate, hit 8-10 inch diameter logs in the undergrowth. None of these events have damaged to flails. Today I was flailing a paddock and had to crown raise a sycamore at the edge of it. Maximum diameter of branch was 2.5 - 3 inches. I just put the brash and branches on the ground and pulverised it with the flail. Italian made, not Chinese. -
Morning all, Fine day again here. Wife’s birthday (state pension starts today), walk the dog, gardening with er indoors then meal out later. Happy Friday.
-
Morning all, Fine weather again. Not a big job today, but part of it includes climbing and reducing a hawthorn. Ouch.
-
Morning all, Blue sky day again. Even looking good for early next week. Enjoy it while we can.

I have the 22ton road tow splitter with table. Never found anything it could not split. Use it horizontally in the yard, occasionally in vertical mode on site for rings that need making smaller to allow moving by hand if we can’t get bigger machinery in. It sips petrol slowly. I rate it highly.
-
Morning all, Hilux frosted over this morning, yet the van isn’t. Parked at different ends of the house, makes a difference. Couple of regular autumn hedges today.
-
Morning all, First real frost of the season here. Going to be a fine day. Finishing off a job from last week today. Didn't fancy doing the climbing when it was chucking it down. Have a good week.
-
Morning all, Fine blue sky days ahead now. Mega amount of rain yesterday. Have had a lovely time with our 3 “children” and other halves. I’m cooking brunch then back to quiet house with two old goats and their old dog. Happy Sunday
-
Morning all, Going to be pretty wet today. Family trip to go paddle boarding, but I’ll stay in the cafe due to recent ear infection. Cloud with silver lining then. Looking good weather wise next week.
-
Morning all, Changing main drive belt on Jensen chipper. One of those with 4 belts bonded together. Was a pig to remove yesterday. I’m fitting 4 singles hoping that will be easier. Then got to drill out the seized bolts I had to chisel off to get lower cover off to get proper access. Still, rather do this under cover than have the old belt fail on site!
-
Morning all, Hopefully getting my ear cleaned out! Infection hard to clear until all the gunk is gone. Otherwise pottering day mainly.
-
Morning all, Rain today, job booked for customer to be on site. Going to to get wet then.
-
Morning all, Hopefully dry today, so removing lower dead wood from an oak over a very quiet lane, then annual repeat pollard of a small lime lollipop.
-
Morning all, Windy at present and rain due later. Sticking close to home on the ground with hedge work. Mick - we never have head colds, it’s always man flu. Just getting over mine.
-
Morning all, Wife gone to 10k run, hopefully before the worst of the rain. Dog walk for me then pottering and trying to decided which jobs to go to next week.
-
Morning all, Fine day here so far. Happy weekend.
-
Morning all, Nice blue sky here. Optician check this am then typing up more quotes and mowing grass at home.
-
Morning all, Same as Mick, work building up a lot, enough to get to Christmas and further. So much for slowing down as getting more decrepit😂
-
Morning all, Fault on mewp played up again yesterday and I had to come down from basket on rope and harness. Time to leave it at the dealers until they find and fix the fault. Happy hedge job today by comparison.
-
Morning all, Mewp job this morning getting a hung up oak branch off BT cables. Then finish one of yesterday’s hedges.
-
Perhaps not the best of specimens to be concerned about. Sorry, no offence intended.
-
Morning all, Looking nice outside. Hedges again today. Wasted 2hrs yesterday going to walk in centre. Unfortunately the nurse I saw had a poor knowledge of ear infections and was adamant that an itchy discharging ear canal meant I had a middle ear infection. Gave me an inappropriate prescription. However, acetic acid alternating with salt water rinses is helping a bit. Rant over, have a good day.
-
Morning all, Off to the local walk in centre to get something for my ear infection. Using ear defenders has a downside. Long drive to Normandy Doug. Happy Sunday.
