This project is part of a programme to control Hemlock, which will be treated next spring to prevent re-growth.
From The Wildlife Trusts website: “A poisonous plant, hemlock has a repellent smell when its leaves are crushed, helping to ensure that accidental poisonings don’t occur very often – even livestock studiously avoid it. This biennial plant prefers damp places and can grow in huge colonies on waste ground, riverbanks and ditches, but can also be seen along roadside verges. It produces umbels (umbrella-like clusters) of white flowers in June and July”.
Our new Roboflail is able to control scrub, weeds and vegetation in a wide range of terrain, with the ability to cut up to 100mm diameter material on slopes up to 50 degrees, safely and efficiently.
And below are a couple of banks where we used the ROBOCUT to clear snowberry near Swindon. If you think the Robo flail can help, we are happy to come along and give a short demo.

The Takeuchi TB230 Compact Excavator offers operators a powerful operating performance. Offering the largest cab on a 3-tonne weight class excavator, equivalent to a 6-tonne cab size.
Designed for Success The TB230 design features a rounded body for improved visibility and functionality. The conventional tail swing with reduced overhang provides outstanding stability.
Stage V Ready <19kW Meeting all low emission regulations, with maximum efficiency and power the TB230 does not require any exhaust after-treatment systems.
3-Tonne Cab or Canopy We have opted for a cab. A proven high-performance machine with excellent power, greater torque and first-class hydraulic system for faster cycle times and productivity on site.
Pick Your Mode Economy and High Altitude Modes, allow the operator to choose the operating mode best suited to the application.
Power to Perform Powerful arm and bucket breakout forces provide an outstanding blend of speed, power, and versatility.
Switch Activated Blade Float is now fitted as standard to maximize ground finishing on site.
The stack of timber and pictures do not do this project justice. We removed 15 very large poplars from a narrow and sometimes waterlogged strip of land between a security fence and an SSSI canal, then through a very small gate.
A great result which can only be described as a job that never went wrong but had its challenges!
Well Done – Scott, Cameron, Antony, Samuel and the team.
Reducing a group of 5 poplar trees at Heywood House today. A two cherry picker day!!
Formerly National Trust, Heywood House in Westbury is now privately run as offices.
A group of trees in the main car park were reduced as they had become too high and the view across to Westbury White Horse was no longer visible from the offices !!
