The Hedge Cutting Thread

[Hfd Cattle]

Asked one this morning 20 mins ago ..... he just said " you just got to get on..can't combine so go hedge trimming "

It will be legal again as of 1st September. Roads can be trimmed for vision only

It's entirely legal to cut hedges now provided that you don't disturb nesting birds. If, however, you are claiming BPS or are in a stewardship scheme then you aren't supposed to under the BPS or scheme rules until 1st September unless you apply for a derogation.

Not their own money so not worried maybe with aid dockages if EVER applied??

Think wildlife regs over rule also possibly?

I would imagine if they claim to have checked to see no nesting birds the it would be ok, IIRC its harming the birds that the law not the hedge cutting bit

Not for us to assume.
Plenty of officials out there to do that!

Anyone ever replaced a piggy-back pump on a McConnell Pa6085, or similar? 2 hours in and mine’s decided to crack between the center port and one of the threaded holes as a useful “welcome to the new season” gift!?‍

[PB1507]

That took a few passes

3 on the top, 2 on the sides. Sharp flails, top spec machine and plenty of work to do means you don't hang about and I wanted to get home early. [emoji106]

Most of the stuff I do is for horsey folk, lots of road work with poles, light stands and traffic add in sheep netting, electric tape etc and some days I would love a e hedge like that to cut, only benefit I get is that I can charge better rates

It's a hard way to make a living but strangely satisfying.
