A few minor running repairs to our Unimog on a Saturday

Just routine works, but the cab needed to be jacked up for access.

This is our Unimog with a woodchipper on the back with a 1.5-ton capacity.  So, who can remember the origin of this odd name?

“The Unimog is a range of multi-purpose auto four-wheel drive medium trucks produced by Mercedes-Benz, The word is an acronym for the German “UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät”, Gerät being the German word for a device (also in the sense of machine, instrument, gear, apparatus)”.   There, you needed to know that!

40 ha of scrub clearance underway for chalk grassland near Imber on Salisbury Plain

We’re using our Dymax tree shear to cut hawthorn and blackthorn.

And, once it’s cut, you have to get it collected up and burnt – so we’re making progress…

As you can see, there was plenty to burn.

Protech Evo2 tracked self-propelled post driver’s first service

Our Protech has clocked up 700 hours in just over 12 months, so an oil change and some TLC was in order as the ground has been harder than usual these last months.

Then off for 1200m  more stock fencing at Noremead  (remember the pictures with the goats?) – and some repairs.
