Today’s job, clearing 80m of hedge and chain link, was well grown in and a pain. Should have brought 5 ton and thumb but was a quick emergency job for friend who runs big festival in Sheffield so no time to move bigger machine. Trailer earned it’s keep today ferry’d across wet sports pitch to car park then 2x grab wagons worth away.

was hard on the little 1.6 tonner used the ripper tooth which helped with pulling the stubborn trees out.

ordered a rake bucket today on back of trying to clear up this one, also torn between aiden grabs with rotator on 3 ton or a Titus one on 1.5/3 ton swappable headstocks

No not guilty for that one.

Green waste is always portrayed as expensive but to be fair Rotherham has some good places to run it to and quite reasonable too.

Dunno where it comes from but builder ordered it from wymondham depot so possibly from cringleford.i asked why the extra hitch on dipper.told jewson won’t buy new buckets so hitch is added to pick up old attachments,(which are really knackered) which are differant pin size and hole spacing.

Not much to see really but compact filter in and all connected up to house and holiday cottage - high water table so regs are strapped to steel in 20cm bed of drymix and dry mix backfill - gravity after filter out to ditch.
Neat setup really.
