Depends what it’s for. Quite different saws.

Cover now found. Many thanks.

2/3 days work available next week. Based in Haslemere, jobs are in Basingstoke and near Chichester so could meet on site if it alleviates transport issues. Please send me a PM if interested. Many thanks.

Wow, how come the replacement chassis rotted out in 6 years. ?

Shunting trailers in low is fine. Would only be an issue shunting if you locked the diff on tarmac. They tow 3.5 ton so that’s all good. Why would you want to access the back from between the seats ? Best to keep kit separate from the cab. Landrovers only hold silly money because they don’t make them any more. [emoji106]

Personally I don’t see why a single cab / tipper conversion wouldn’t replace a 110. I’ve owned both and it’s Toyota for me. They do the same thing. But everyone has their preferences. Landrover are great but I can do exactly the same in comfort [emoji106]

I’m a Toyota convert. Landcruiser amazon are superb in every way. I replaced a TD5 hi cap with a hilux invincible. There isn’t anything the landrover will do that the hilux won’t do. One thing a defender does benefit from is thick aluminium body work that takes a knock well.

[emoji23] exactly. I gave up on those jalopy’s years ago. Land rovers are great for enthusiasts but if you want a reliable work vehicle look elsewhere.

Anyone on here able to supply cleft post and rail ? The stock from my local AVS is consistently rubbish. The ends of the rails and the mortises always require fettling which is a massive waste of time on site. A lot of the post are very twisted. Spoke to another local producer but he was double the cost of AVS. I’m Based in Haslemere, Surrey / W Sussex border. Drop me a message if you might be able to help. Cheers

I agree with Mick and Big J. This guy sounds lame but if you can’t replace him at the moment suck it up for now and choose your time when it suits you to let him go. If he is an employee surely he has a contract or he should do. Everything he has done will be breeching it. In which case record what’s been done and give him a written warning in the first instance. If he’s not employed and is actually casual but regular labour just replace him when it suits you. Blowing up about these things Is often unproductive. On the plus side to blowing up at least you won’t need to take him home that day ......

Not engine dead but there is a cheap dosko for sale in Thursley. I think someone has cleaned up all the old 1st call trees kit and is selling it. It’s on Facebook marketplace. I take it danequip can’t help with a used part either ?

In theory it will certainly help. My knowledge only comes from investigating what other agencies have done in their research thus far but having gone on the pests and disease walk around at the arb show the information cascaded down from that certainly rings true with the visible representation in my woodland. If you coppiced the ash and we’re thorough in clearing the area of branch and leaf my money would be that the regrowth on your ash would be healthier. How long that vitality goes on for given The extent of the disease and that spores are airborne in the spread of the disease is anyone’s guess. Coppicing them and giving them a half chance must be better than nothing and possibly. loosing them I’d say.

I’ve got 10 acres that is probably 60 to 70 percent ash. Lots of die back. Leaf litter is a big problem as chalara remains in the petiole and as then will cycle back into the tree. There is no correlation in die back in the crown to any sort of chalara based damage at the roots so you only need to be concerned about falling dead wood etc. If you have a honey fungus present in the location it will attack the trees weekend by chalara so basal inspections are still important. I have deliberately let some pollarded ash lapse. They were pollarded by the previous owner of the property and I’ve been here nearly 4 years now. The lapsed pollards couldn’t look healthier but the rest of the wood is all suffering. My assumption is it’s linked to the lack of leaf litter due to the pollard. For me it’s just a case of working on trees near my house which pose risk. As for the woodland part of the garden I let nature take its course and deal with what comes which typically means clearing them after they fall. I did investigate grants for replanting but you need a minimum of 12 acres to be eligible for the grant.

I’ll be interested to see this. [emoji106]

Just out the back of Haslemere towards lurgershall. West Sussex. I was doing a couple of days tree work at he house last week.

Survey Done. All the best.

No problem. I’ll get that survey done. I’d be interested to see other landowners takes on it. My local authority is just felling ash everywhere as that’s, in their opinion, the best and cheapest strategy. [emoji107]

Hello Hanah I’m not sure my plot constitutes a big enough example but my house has about 10 acres of ground, 5 of which are designated as ancient woodland that is predominantly old ash coppice. Sadly I have a lot of chalara present If you think feedback from this is useful I’ll fill in the survey for you. Should you wish to use the site for any field work etc for your study you are most welcome.

Sounds good. I’ll pm you my number as I will most likely take that off you. Thanks

Will yours fit onto a stihl ? I’ve got a couple of 660s it could be used on.

Simple on the lathe. There is one online. You might be able to copy it although they also increased the guard over it.

I like dosko. I’ve been using the 27 Hp for years. That said their 13 hp machine is useless on the basis it’s too heavy to lift easily and is heavy to push on anything but flat ground. I didn’t know they were still selling the little machine. Dosko is now the danequip variation on the full size machine.

Is it the Hyundai or t mech incarnation?
