7 years I’ve had an E27 and I only just realised you could open the whole half of the side window from the back…🤦‍♂️

Buy @Furniss TMK. You can grub a lot of that crap out at ground level and it’ll regen again no problem.
Nowhere near as tidy as a chainsaw but you’d do a lot of that job in one pass.
It has to be tidy- this is coppice work for relaying a hedge in future. Client wants it traditional. Chamfered edges etc.

They are spending probably £3m on the house rebuild so this is small beer 🤣

Plus- I’m burying an 18” bar and often needing the 28”. Surely a tree shear won’t do that kind of stuff?

No, it won’t touch that diameter. If you are initially ragging stuff out with the grab without cutting it it’ll do a better job though, and leave you with less contaminated finishing cuts to make.

the contamination is in the stump, where things like flints have been pushed up as they grow. How would a tree shear help?

Now I see why you have a grinder 😂
Stihl about to launch on the job grinder actually looks pretty good. Be interesting to see it in the flesh.
I used the grinder today on a few chains I’d rocked pretty bad. Made light work of it tbf.

hmmm,on occasion over the years ive had people say" 5 days is quite a lot for an installation " - find outlets the tank / treatment ... dig, , wait for sign off, tidy ,kit away etc etc
house next door but one was having a similar system put in to the one we were doing, we arrived a couple of days before the other outfit started but finished on the same day..... 13t on steels - did most of it with the ditcher, had to have a little look from roadside when they were having lunch.......what can you say 🤷‍♂️ picture paints a thousand words and all that, shouldn't be signed off imho.

nice pipe bedding, prop it up with a stone,repair smashed pipe with tape 🤦‍♂️

problem being, if its signed off people assume all installations are same.

and is its a fairly reputable outfit wtf ......clowns
