    A bit tetchy there I would say. You get what you pay for . Invest in a decent backpack blower and you will never regret it. We have a Stihl BG85 and the backpack magnum. Yes we use a rake, but only for the big/coarse stuff.

    Echo 2511 Stihl MS261 Stihl MS 462 PS I love my rebuilt MS 880 though (but not up in the tree, turned 61 today?)

    Never a truer word spoken

    She may have got daddy's jacket, but she isn't on the front seat near the heater. Clear case to involve the RSPCA in.

    Sweepings off a welders workshop??

    For years now I have only used bio chain oil, mainly Buxtons, sometimes Stihl. Pours much better in the cold, and always using the right stuff environmentally.

    Absolutely

    It just needs to go, zero merit in reducing, let alone cutting back the sides to make it look worse.

    A newly planted C of L won't be an issue in our lifetime. Planted one at home in the paddock 10 yrs ago to mark out fiftieths. Never going to need pruning in my lifetime!

    I have got a Jensen A540 turntable and we all love it. I would not like the idea of it only having 25hp. Sure the feed rollers, which are so good, would still do their job, but you would either have to turn the roller speed down or have the no stress kicking in a lot more on decent brash.

    My Bateson 8x5 tipper trailer has had the same phenolic resin board floor for 17 years, from new. Not bad considering the loads of load and large timber lumps dropped onto it over the years. We had a load of off cut phenolic boards given to us some years ago, various thicknesses. Excellent for getting our single axle 2 ton mewp across lawns for this - stokboard would flex too much I think - but I did buy 4 12mm 8x4 stockboards earlier this year for using our 1.2 ton digger on lawns, and spinning the tracked chipper around on. Easier to move with 2 people, but I can move them alone if I have to, with much swearing. Small, old and weak as well! Me, not the boards.

    Generally I like Sycamores to work on, but the eyes/ears/lungs full of aphids is of dubious added value.
  13. maybelateron
    Indeed so, but worse at the bottom of a slope up to the truck/chipper!

    The guy who does all our fabrication and metal repairs for us pointed out that chippers are not produced in large enough numbers to justify robotic manufacture. One reason why a chipper seems expensive compared to mass produced cars?

    Trees covered in Russian Vine, Wisteria, Clematis and Climbing Rose. With large mature Berberis around the base of the trunk. ??

    I tried my ziz zag on XTC, no joy, so changed to tachyon and never looked back since.
  17. maybelateron
    I would do exactly the same. Additionally you will have a lot more light around that side of the house.

    Didn't know he was an Abba fan

    Been trading nearly 20 years and we are at the busiest we have ever been. Any newly accepted jobs won't be done until January unless they are little gap fillers. I think most teams in our area are finding the same.

    So true. I am 60 now and still do most of our climbing, but there is no way I can mange the wide hedges any more. I leave that to the young ones with more strength than me. Most days the groundies have a harder time than I do up the trees.

    Heard good stuff about FSI, seen them at APF shows and seem good, but never owner one.

    I have a local builder who uses a bit of my yard. He pays me with once used dumpy bags rather than money. Could you offer a "disposal service" to any local small building firms?
  23. maybelateron
    Computer did that - it assumed cos I highlighted the bit where you quoted Rob, that it was you who had said it? Honest guv, I am not guilty of fraud!
  24. maybelateron
    That is so last decade, or older. Got replace by the more PC "learning difficulties/disability" One subby tried using the gaffs on some spikes to open the fuel cap on our slagsaw (MS170). Let's just say he doesn't sub to me anymore?
  25. maybelateron
    Indeed so, but might we ask if it is "fit for purpose"?
