I'm not going to cut or drill anything, don't worry! It just looks like the pegs want holes to slide into, but I am convinced that it's all ok, thanks to pics online and words here. The visor fits fine. It's good, actually. I might wear it to the shops in a minute!

This pic shows a petzl vertex vent with MSA HPE ear defenders. The 'arms' of the ear defenders slide into the slots in the helmet correctly, but don't lie flat against it. There are two cylindrical protrusions, you can just about see in the pic that rest against the side of the helmet and hold the top part of the arms away from the helmet shell.
They look as though they expect there to be matching holes on the helmet shell to accept them.
Is it correct as it is, or should I drill holes in the helmet? !? That doesn't sound right! Maybe the little cylindrical 'pegs' should be nipped off?
What do people think?
I hope the pic appears on the post....

Excellent pic! Looks big enough to pull the trailer itself. I've had cars about thirty horsepower! Do you reckon, as OldMillTC said, that more power would have helped, or was it simply that you did all the work alone?

Problem there is that you used a grinder that is under powered for its size and difficult to manoeuvre.
How powerful is that machine, then? It's enormous.

Sounds perfect! Is it raining?

Do you own a stumpgrinder at all? Perhaps something smaller! ?

That was a hired machine, was it? You don't own and run that yourself?

I am keen to learn more interesting things, but I need work while I learn, or the bank will take my house away. ....

Having spent two days running this thing I pity anyone who chooses stump grinding as a way o life:thumbdown:
How much would you have paid me to do it instead of you? [emoji3]

For us, over 80% of all trees felled have stumps ground out.
We own our grinder and only sub out very large numbers or when inaccessable for our 4012 which is utter pants 'hors piste'.
I know of only one guy who tried just doing stumps but he found that unless the trees where his jobs no-one bothered thinking about grinding out.

Interesting. So your evidence would suggest that telling punters that grinding is possible/available is more than half the battle of creating the grinding work.

As richy b suggests, quick startup is interesting. Also, I don't mind traveling around, but with young kids there are lots of days when it helps to start a little late or finish early. Cheshire to Edinburgh to Dublin seems like quite a trek, hertswood! I am not gonna make it home in time for kids swimming from that trip. Was there really no one closer when those scots and irish customers came calling?

Do arb guys and girls tend to have their own stump grinders, or hire them? Or hire someone who comes and does the grinding on their behalf? I presume that the machines take quite a bit of looking after? Servicing, and cleaning off fungal spores and the like? I wonder if folks like to subcontract stump grinding so they don't fill their days servicing hydraulic machines.

Hello
From reading around the forums, I see that some people seem to do stump grinding only. The stumpbusters franchises, for example.
Is this right, that folks make a living only grinding stumps, or they doing wider arb work, and maybe marketing themselves as stump grinders separately from their other work? Are there enough stumpgrinding jobs done that people have work every day?
Thanks all

Great answers all! Thankyou.

Hello all.
Can I ask why pickups are so popular amongst tree workers? Is it about having four wheel drive? How often do you use it?
