Cut and collect flail working well

Here, the video shows the Valtra 121 is fitted with a cut and collect flail to clear 5-year old scrub regrowth to help the chalk grassland and nearby Juniper. The site was cleared 5 years ago.  The ability of the machine to collect the cut materials prevents the nutrient level from being raised in the soil. This helps with chalk grassland and wildflowers as they prefer a low level of soil fertility to prevent being outcompeted by other species.

And the pics show Toby out on the cut and collect flail clearing scrub as part of chalk grassland management

Damage from Storm Goretti

Happy New Year

We received a phone call from a client in Bristol during Storm Goretti about a fallen tree across an access road to a hospital complex.

The job could not wait until daylight.  So, William and Toby left the Devizes depot shortly after midnight to clear the fallen tree sufficiently to allow access until a full team could reach the remains of the large sycamore tree in daylight, make it safe, and tidy up.

Well done to Toby for not being in bed!  And all part of the 24/7 service provided to our clients across the UK
