  1. good job battery powered machines run on motors instead of engines then!
  2. Haven't used one. Looks massive though in comparison to the mk3. I'd be stocking up on 3's personally
  3. Picus test in Straford St Mary for a Dedham Vale Tree Surgeon this week. Lovely Copper Beech tree in a very prominent position. Tree was deadwooded, very lightly pruned and then inspected. 2 pretty large cavities were of particular concern and I was able to poke a probe in one and out the other, so a picus test was carried out to assess the extent of the decay. Turns out it was a lot better than expected but still in a pretty compromising position.
  4. Getting a lot of use out of the drone Ian?
  5. I was looking at them a few years ago, unfortunately my budget at the time only stretched as far as the older shape which was just pig ugly, looked like a frog or something. The reviews on the newer models seemed pretty good though.
  6. Yew tree tickle. I’d love to say I climbed it but a mewp was used.
  7. Timberwolf the UK’s leading manufacturer of professional wood chippers has strengthened its unrivalled customer support network with the addition of two new dealers. Masons Kings will offer sales and support to customers in North Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, whilst Tallis Amos Group (TAG) will serve customers in Bristol, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. In addition, Timberwolf’s long-term dealer Ben Burgess GroundsCare Equipment with its head office in Norwich, will extend its East Anglia coverage to include Bedford and Milton Keynes from a brand new, purpose built depot in Ellington. Combining engineering excellence with the industry’s strongest support network, the Suffolk-based company has the largest selection of wood chippers on the market, manufacturing products for those working in arboriculture. This latest business growth takes the number of its dealers to 17, working from 38 depots, and with over 225 Timberwolf trained technicians. The expansion cements the firm’s unique position within the industry, offering customers far more than a machine with the extra reassurance in the strength and support of the Timberwolf dealer network and trained technicians. Guy Marshlain, Sales and Marketing Director, said: “We know our machines are a crucial element in the smooth running of businesses throughout the UK, which is why end-to-end support for our customers is something we provide with every Timberwolf product.” With three depots, in Exebridge, Chudleigh and St Columb, Masons Kings will offer Timberwolf owners an efficient and premium service throughout North Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. The Masons Kings team of over 40 trained technicians will ensure parts are located even closer to businesses, reducing down-time required for servicing and providing quick access to spares, as well as an increase to the Timberwolf Sales and Demonstration teams in the area. While the addition of TAG, to the Timberwolf dealer network, brings a roster of 60 qualified service engineers and technicians and four depots to customers in Bristol, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and surrounding areas. A further enhancement to the Timberwolf dealer network is the territory extension of grounds care provider, Ben Burgess GroundsCare Equipment, to include the Bedford and Milton Keynes area from their brand-new, purpose-built depot at Ellington. Ben Burgess GroundsCare Equipment’s new depot based in Ellington enhances the already comprehensive service support Timberwolf owners are given in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Guy Marshlain added: “Our customer support network offers a unique service, unrivalled by any other UK based wood chipper manufacturer. We’re excited to welcome Masons Kings and Tallis Amos Group to our dealer network and to see Ben Burgess expand their territory. “Their industry experience and expertise, coupled with our engineering excellence, means Timberwolf customers continue to access the very best support for their business.” For more information visit www.timberwolf-uk.com or follow @MyTimberwolf on Facebook , Instagram and Twitter .
  8. You will need to declare your earnings, forming a company as such is lt necessary though. You will need indemnity insurance
  9. Yep not yet, but they are getting better and better all the time. It’s all down to the battery technology in the whole, although certain members of this forum believe batteries can’t get any better than they currently are ?
  10. There’s a new battery powered stihl commercial mower coming out soon. I had a brief go on it a few weeks ago. Not particularly knowledgeable on mowers but it seemed a nice bit of kit for sure
  11. Not attached, and no house alarm anyway
  12. i'd prefer something that doesn't poo Have been looking at this one which seems ok https://www.ultrasecuredirect.com/wireless-indoor-alarms/shed-garage-alarms/battery-gsm-wireless-ultrapir-alarm/ultrapir-gsm-garage-alarm-kit-1-007-1320-p1924.html
  13. Interested in what types of alarms people have used for their garages/lockups? Looking for one that can be self fitted
  14. One of the things I like about the stihl battery range is how affordable the individual units are once you already have the charger and batteries. just added some stuff for around the house to the range The mower comes with 2 battery slots so lasts plenty long enough for most lawns ? just want want to know when the stihl vacuum cleaners coming @STIHL GB?
  15. What’s the purpose of the black ring?
  16. Is it? Last time I had it I was paying around 3k per year, that was in a pretty low turnover and only employing one member of staff at a time
  17. ha, I wonder if the people employing subbie climbers are going to be happy with an extra £40+ on their day rate to pay for their own employers liability
  18. I definitely think this will be of more interest to the bigger companies running lots of teams
