Just try one they are not cheap but a lot of steel fixers use them no pilot holes and drill straight through 20mm thick steel you need high powered impact 1/2 or 3/4 drive and plenty of cutting grease it’s a easy tool to use especially up in a cheery picker I’d link a video but haven’t a clue how to

If it's really light pruning, Makita 18v could be an option, it's certainly weight saving. Personally, I find my 36V Makita light enough for me. Can't fault the logic. Might prefer convenience over physical effort myself, but I'm just lazy.

I've had alot of mates run entecs , timberwolfs ,gravely ,tp lindana ,jensen, pezzolato, greenmech , kwickchip .. alot of the tw machines have alloy fans to eject the chip.. The are alot of decent refurbished machines for under that budget ..its knowing what your looking for ...would nt buy tw probably not nor would I buy green mech. I'd only buy European, better built like ts,lindana ...the pezzolato I have is alot better built than the current machines . And like it or not where I didnt come into the career later on in life ive seen machines come and go , all you want is a basic machine that's lightweight,that also you can unjam should it get jammed up...and basic so easy worked on. Only reason the isn't more European machines is due to a price ..id need to look at what ever I purchase next ..ie spares But alot of machines are built down to a price now.....

And you may well have been right. 😉 I'm coping. It may have helped that I came to it from a Makita battery saw, which instilled a Pavlovian reaction every time I picked it up, ie press the button to wake it up. My son is unimpressed with the system too. There was a cunning plan behind the MSA300 purchase, and if a couple of ducks had been in the right row a while back I'd have had a short hedgetrimmer on the AP system now, instead of petrol. The next step in the cunning plan was the KMA200 Kombi, and the switching on that is excellent. The machine itself is marvellous, love it to bits.

Need training , try lbs training Wellington.... he's ex forces,served in Afghanistan and teaches , really good teacher ...and whilst i was updating the were 3 service personel on the same course ...

Yup, it feels like on the tri act that it's binding on something inside, as it can't be pushed beyond the point on the image. I have emailed petzl so we will see how they go. Will have to go back to Ali crab on climbline, which is a bugger as I like the steels extra weight beeing easier to throw accurate

Hindsight is a wonderful thing 🙂

I live in Norway mate,most people's gardens are pretty wild on the west coast. Plus the cost of dumping chip is pretty high

I wouldn't blame either of these, rather a combination of cutting back too far in the past and branches being shaded by the tree that was removed. What is dead, is dead. Conifer like that has no buds on old wood, it won't sprout back from the bottom so they will always grow like lollipops. I'd take them out, surprised whoever took the other tree out didn't recommend it. As above laurels not a bad shout, otherwise Thuja, maybe yew. There's no magic, fast growing to cover the windows sooner means more work maintaining in future.

Terry Reid, He was chosen originally by Jimmy Page as the vocalist for Led Zeppelin, but he couldn't accept due to previous commitments,Reid recommended Robert Plant who was in Band of Joy, and Hobbstweedle. the rest as they say,, is history.

Personally, I would set up a Paypal account. I use Paypal regularly to buy and sell things. I would be reticient to use it as a soul source of payment, but it has its moments. Just add on any merchant fees to your fee.

On the rare occasion I was forced into railway stuff cos I had no other work, the ability to roll a decent joint was always considered a desirable skill. I know guys who do it, I know they wouldn’t be doing it for the minimum wage that’s for sure.

Brother broke his shooting stick Made a new stick from elm but it was too bendy so made this one out of ash. Tested my sowing skills on the leather

The unloading was really no bother. The loading is what killed me. It probably wouldn't have fitted on a tipper without massive greedy boards, which a luton in effect has. Character building stuff.

I've heard the advice that you shouldn't be selling this job; you should be selling the ten after that. Which does sound good but is quite open ended.

Unbelievably good

Good Morning All.

Again I something similar, I use a quad bike and a flail mower, the advantage being the quad bike has other uses about the place, trailer towing, dragging etc.

Yeah man stoke is no problem thanks for that greatly appreciated ill give them a bell

Monkey Puzzle takedowns are like War stories, never a good 1! Evil trees!

That could be a lovely gaff, if/when I settle in a pile of bricks it will be in Suffolk, or the Staffordshire Moorlands/Peak District

I've used Navara Kingcabs for 18 years. You can add a trailer to carry more and/or make up some greedy boards. Do you have a tripod ladder? If so you can use it to hold down several dumpy bags of arisings; stand on the ladder to press the dumpy bags down and to get the front feet down into the back of the buck against the tailgate and strap the thin end to the ladder rack behind the cab (you need one of those to put mesh onto to protect the rear screen). All sounds a bit niche but it's how I've done small tree and hedge work for all that time (with the trailer bit).
