  1. Seems like a lot. What companies have you tried? A small sole trader tree surgery company should be able to get insured for under a grand, so I would have thought you could get it much cheaper that £2800 Have you tried the NFU?
  2. Nice one Stu! Perhaps that is the recipe for masters success then.
  3. I have used timberwolf, jensen, greenmech, vermeer, kwik chip, entec, TP, and woodsman. I wouldnt buy a 6" chipper anyway, but the nearest thing i would consider is the greenmech 19-28. Excellent small chipper.

    Perhaps you should try dynamite Stevie!
  5. Ooops. Treeworker then.
  6. As far as I know Honey Bros are the only dependable supplier.
  7. Champagne corks are the only truly professional solution.
  8. Its a small silver bull hip bag Treeworker
  9. You could have taken the work, and cut back the vegetation obscuring the cameras so that drivers could see them more easily.

    Been busy.

    So in summary, you dismantled a little tree, caught a mouse stealing your fags and slotted the little bugger, stole a tractor and joyrided it through the woods, took some pictures of your crotch up a tree, experimented with some wierd arboreal bondage with shackles and wire ropes, before abandoning said tractor in woods, and presumably went down the pub?

  12. Sounds like a lot in terms of what it can do in a day, but its probably appropriate to the purchase and running costs of the machine.
  13. Especially not when you've been on a marathon Power Ranger dvd session!
  14. Tbh I'v never done a tachyon, but the brion toss instructions for db include stitching the crossover anyway. I figure if its makes the job easier its worth doing.

    Too bulky for me, try a Trango Cinch.
  16. Did you stitch the crossover together before burying it?
  17. Lovely crane mate, cracking job all round really!
  18. I'd have had that off you, if it was roadside.
  19. If the work is routine maintenance work, like hedge trimming for instance, then its exempt. If the work is specifically related to the construction work, then its not exempt. It all depends how you word the invoice...............
  20. I know to within 12 hours when it went, between 9 pm yesterday and 9am today. There was very heavy rain on Sunday, and a bit yesterday. Pretty sure it didnt rain much overnight though. Perhaps I should bank up some soil over it where it touches the ground and see what happens. Incidentally, I believe its in the grounds of a school, although not in an area with access for children.
  21. Spotted this while out and about today.

    Really? With the haulage industry on its back, and hundreds of unemployed hgv drivers around, now is probably the worst time in the last ten years to be looking for weekend driving work. Also you cannot drive more than 11 days in a fortnight, so if you drive 5 days a week at work then you cant work more than one day a fortnight at weekends.

    I'm not, although I went there after work one day.
  24. I wouldnt dream of attempting to dispense advice of that nature via an internet forum. Get yourself booked on a course, or get a job with a company that can train you.
  25. Theoretically, yes, but if you want to go to those lengths then perhaps a mog might be cheaper!
