What do you do when chipper breaks?

[Mesterh]

There is no way I would ever entertain doing a tree job without a chipper. So for that reason I knew the rates of the local hire companies, knew enough friendly tree lads that could help us out in a tight fix and eventually had the luxury of a spare machine. Knowing a good mechanic also helps a lot in the first place.

 

Same for the truck except I didnt have a psre one of those:001_smile:

 

If its at a busy period you dont want to piss about so best to plan ahead while you can.

My main reason for getting one was safer transportation of the brash . Pluss depending upon the job you can fit 2/3 jobs in one load so saves on tipping costs

Luckily this is on a static site. Starter Motor failed, well it is 20yrs old! Took it to a local place in Crawley who sent it to be refurbed in Billingshurst, don't know where. Did an amazing job was covered in black paint and a lot of rust before now nice and shiny 😃
