Nope, but I'll take your word for it. London politics have no bearing on my life. They'll do whatever they want anyway. He might or might not be a slimeball. I'm loking forward to the Green/ 'new party for the people' coalition happening though. I can't see any reason why that would be a bad thing. Can you?

Once or twice I told enquiring members of public and a council gardener I was carrying out routine safety inspections . Given its common ground and they hardly ever get climbed its probably a good thing to have people get up in the canopy to have good look about. I think most councils carry out routine tree condition surveys from the ground. I have removed hanging dead wood from public trees which is probably good for public safety.

The Italian copy one is on tracks I think? You can take the chipper off so it's effectively a track barrow underneath. Other answers are towball on a muck truck, or buy an M500 which pushes itself.

Gets home earlier, chance to do the paperwork mid week, not the weekend, send the invoices out a few days earlier to keep the bank manager happy maybe? (apart from the obvious of fitting a job into 1 day and not day and a half so you can go to the new job in the morning, catches up along the week, no Saturday morning jobs, no OT to pay)

That's a good idea

You know that and I know that, but lots of the enquiries were from Peterborough - in the city they don't know anything about trees and don't know neighbours to ask for a recommendation. Problem is bark do a good job of appearing on Google search. Ideally we'd all pay Steve a few quid to make a central tree surgeon index which does well on Google and everyone's info is written by another tree firm so is brutally honest. "Climbs slower than a three legged tortoise but makes a nice reduction nonetheless" type of thing.

I havn't used stovax, but have used three other 'eco design' stoves that have been utter s**** - hard to light and smokey. Ive posted on this topic here before. The problem (as I see it) is that these stoves are designed to divert/restrict exhaust so it recirculates and re-burns the gases within the stove repeatedly. These is also less control of air going in. These stoves need very exact operating conditions - airflow in the room, flue length/straightness/temperature. They may work fine in a new airtight house (that is warm already) with a perfectly straight/lined and insulated flue, but conditions in older properties are much more variable. Give me big old Charnwood or Clearview anyday. These stoves have massive air intakes that can make them roar like a steam train on lighting. Yes more heat goes up the chimney and you use more wood, but it doesn't smoke into the room.

Hello all. Are you an established business owner in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk or Suffolk and have at some point considered adding tree H&S surveys, BS5837 work, tender submissions, protected tree advice, veteran and/or woodland management plans to your business services but dropped the idea because its not your bag, the equipment or training requirements or you are too busy with the actual tree work?

The small bark stuff sounds great for lighting fires.

After contacting Greenmech UK in regard to purchasing and importing a used chipper from them, I was given the number for someone at Greenmech France, and informed that this would be an easier solution due to paperwork. Not so good for me as the same machines where a good bit more expensive and the main dealer was a good six hour drive away. As usual with France, phone calls were made and emails were ignored, no reply was ever received about my enquiry. It would appear that sales people in France can’t even be arsed to follow up on a guaranteed sale. I managed to buy a used Greenmech Arb 150 privately in France and it’s been a solid investment. I quite fancy updating to the new 130 turntable or possibly a 165D if I could ever arrange a demo. Hopefully I could trade in the Arb 150, if not, I may have a a chipper for sale in the near future and you’re only an hour away from me.

Have you got a picture of the full tree? Shows it height, full size etc.

Good Morning Everyone.

Yet letting 'em out before they have served half their sentence coz we are " full up "

Walked passed these while shutting a gate by a farm. Not something you see very often, I did wonder about making a bid.... yonks ago, Denn8ngs of Chard used to fit surplus Spitfire and Hurricane wheels to their mobile saw benches.

Potato crates? They have small gaps to allow airflow but still keep the wood in, would depend if you had a method of moving them once full

Very nice. Wish my body was 20 years younger still! Used to enjoy that stuff.

Work up front, so to speak.
