Ok then, Perhaps this really isn't the best of examples, but last month, I did a fallen tree -blocking minor road type of job. The unfortunate tree owner was blissfully unaware that their tree had just collapsed, across the access road to the local golf club and some neighbours houses. I explained the situation to them, and charged the princely sum of Β£180, for clearing vehicle access, that same evening. It was half a mile from home.. The following day, I texted a quotation for approx Β£900 to cover the full clear-up, with suggestions for local tree consultants, to give a report on their other roadside trees . Both invoices were paid promptly by a very happy new customer, with the strong likelihood of some future work, too.. Sorry about the photo, seems like there's some issue with uploading the same. After 5 attempts at reducing the size, we'll just have to live without it !

Tractor transmission oil overheating. ( Valtra 6400)

Yeah. Valtra mechanic they can corrode after a while and cause brakes to stick on slightly. I changed one this evening. -

Iβve bought a few bits through ARB Surplus recently, and itβs been solid. Listings were clear, comms were quick, and everything arrived exactly as described. It's great having a space where gear changes hands among people who actually use it. Way better than taking a gamble on random marketplace sellers. Would definitely use it again if something else pops up.

Using Ecoplugs on side growths and suckers

yeah - severe drought years seem to cause a lot of movement on their own. -
Using Ecoplugs on side growths and suckers
Dan Maynard replied to Philadelphus's topic in General chat
But probably still less than the original tree if it was mature with 1m diameter trunk, and at that point if it's really causing a problem it would be back to the insurance company to sort. I'm always sceptical about felling and subsidence, doesn't seem like an equilibrium game anyway - but obviously don't know any specifics here. -
This might well be old news. This app is excellent! You press record, it ID's birds around you, and then higlights which one is chirping. Merlin Bird ID - Home MERLIN.ALLABOUTBIRDS.ORG Identify Bird Songs and Calls Sound ID listens to the birds around you and shows real-time suggestions for whoβs singing. Compare your recording to the songs and calls in Merlin to...

Using Ecoplugs on side growths and suckers
tree-fancier123 replied to Philadelphus's topic in General chat
because the original aim was subsidence mitigation - imagine 10 years regrowth that thing would be sucking up water like there's no tomorrow My suggestion is buy 5l of glyphosate 360g/l pry, scrape off ivy all around trunk at 1.5m high drill 10mm holes at 45 degs downwards, 60mm deep, 30mm apart in a complete circle around trunk, use a 100ml syringe with plastic tube to fill the holes nearly to top with 50% solution diltuted with preferably rain water, but hard tap water would work May be cheaper than ecoplugs - and either method will work best in growing season, right now probably still ok, or April. You need to take care with mixing and applying strong glyphosate -
Give an example please.

Something very simple I've noticed over the years, that seems to significantly help new, or less confident potential customers, to instruct tree work: Breaking down the quotation into a couple of component prices (especially with a low-ish cost prep/preliminary item of work, first ), seems to relax them. I guess they get to see that we're not a bunch of cowboys, and I get to see how good they are at paying bills !
