  1. Do you know what the host species is? (Thinking oak)
  2. Really nice benches, not too rustic but still got character.
  3. Section 60 "Therefore if the fungus on T1 had led to an arboricultural investigation, I consider it improbable that it would, in turn, have led to a recommendation that T1 was likely to cause damage to the property."
  4. silly question, but you mean Bury gt manchester rather than Bury st edmunds?
  5. Corymbia citriodora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  6. If you need to set off in a hurry, hold it on the footbrake with your left foot, mash the accelerator to the floor with your right, and release the footbrake is the revs get up to about 3.5k. It will take off like a cork coming out of a champagne bottle. Tried it on the test drive, salesman looked at me a bit funny but didn't say anything. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. Lovely job mate, you should be proud of that. You don't need dcpc to drive a privately owned motorhome for recreational purposes. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. Midland Road Springs do a heavy duty set with an extra leaf, that's what I run on my navara and they are nice and stiff.
  9. Variable width tracks would be good on a very narrow machine.
  10. Probably, once he's finished with it you'll be able to use it to flush the Viet Cong out of hiding......

    Crane hire

    Contract lift is where the crane company plans the lifting part of the job, specifies the machine and slings/chains etc, takes care of all the risk assessments and liability. It will cost at least twice as much as a hire. If you hire it then you are responsible for risk assessments, planning and insurance etc. However, any hire company and driver worth their money will work with you to make sure it gets done right. If you havent done much crane work before getting an experienced climber is as Mark suggested will be a big time and worry saver.
  12. Sure, £5.00 at Amazon. You still need the ticket though. [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Safety-Street-Works-Road-Practice/dp/0115519580]Safety at Street Works and Road Works: A Code of Practice: Amazon.co.uk: Transport & Regional Affairs Committee Environment: Books[/ame]
  13. Because tree surgeons prefer looking at boobs to talking bollocks. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  14. Apparently DMM are producing a brown hitch climber set for national bowel cancer month too.
  15. Or a pair of trouser legs that only come up to your knees......
  16. Pretty sure Reaseheath College still do them, not too far from you.
  17. Better in what way exactly? I have used both, and would buy a Hobbs first for rigging big timber.
  18. 50 metre? Wow, never even seen one of those. Did you take it all the way up?
  19. Iv used a 30m tracked Teupen, decent machine when it worked, ok on grass although I would suggest some boards if you want to turn. It is a big machine though, you wont be tracking it through any garden gates.
  20. Yes please!
  21. Ah, thats where I'v gone wrong, it now plays the entire tune in 1.4 seconds, but uses 4 AA batteries every 8 minutes.
  22. Its ok, all fixed now. Usual story, brought in as a rush job, total failure, client upstairs screaming his head off. Turned out to be fuel starvation, good clean out and some mods, now it runs beautifully at 13,600 rpm. Not very soothing though, but thats not really a problem as the client fell asleep before I could reassemble it.
  23. Anyone got the IPL for one of these?
  24. Measured it on my screen and its 4 and a quarter inches.
  25. No, but I'v towed with the auto in the past. The D40 Nav auto is quite thirsty, but the auto box in the Isuzu is a 5 speed, so it shouldn't be far off the manual.
