  1. Its really made worse with over filling. With the petrol cap, the fuel doesnt "hydraulic" the same as oil. Just dont fill quite as full and Im sure you will get used to them
  2. I have lost work this way Matty, like others. Nice to hear your customer will stay loyal to you though. Have you considered giving the "other" tree firm a ring?
  3. Only thing ive been selling for the last two months is semi green ash, but its still going out. As said above, any type of advertising needs honesty behind it for a good name:thumbup:
  4. Nice piece of work Roger:thumbup1:
  5. Mmmm, I was one of many who bought tickets and didnt win Jack! But thats not the point, its about the giving to the charity, so, I would just like to give thanks to all involved in the raffle for time and money that went into it, it truely is a great cause If you win a prize its a bonus, not something that should have nagativity born from it IMO.
  6. I love this job because everyone who doesnt know tree work, thinks you earn loads of money:lol:
  7. Many thanks for bringing it up Robert, much appreciated:thumbup1: Only trouble is, i cannot report it to e-bay now, just because it has been removed. Therefore i cannot say it was a fraudulant sale:cursing: Steve has removed the Ad now so there are no pictures of it now. Well, not on Arbtalk anyway:sneaky2: Cheers for keeping you sharp eyes open fellas:thumbup1:

    Stihl 192t

    Just a little read for you to start with..... http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/8157-ms192-exhaust-mod.html
  10. Excellent post Mark, nice to see it in laymans terms EVERYONE, make note of this post:thumbup:
  11. Cheers Johnny, guess a few reports like that should get the ball rolling! Im off to write a little message to MR Bay himself now.
  12. Thats the point! You arent supposed to "burn back at the yard"! It is commercial waste If you already go the authorised site, why are you burning a few rakings:confused1:
  13. Cheers for that Tom. I really would like to meet some of the guys doing this! Its a real shame also for the lads who bought the chipper too, they are just as affected as me. I wonder if there is any way e-bay can trace the seller? Time for a little thought now i believe............
  14. Sounds like you are part of the way there then with the transport license. Can you provide proof that you tip at an authorised site? Like bridge tickets? It only needs a neighbour with a grudge to report you, or the EA to follow you (they do), and you will be investigated and threatened with a hefty fine. Not saying it doesnt go on, just not the best place to advertise that you do it, IMO.
  15. Cant believe this, only just found you guys new posts on this thread! Shame is, the item has been removed now so i cant see the pics! Its deffo a scam as it didnt go to scotland! I will also ask Steve if he can remove the ad from classifieds. This is not on, i wish the ebay seller would make himself known to me. In person! Does anyone know if more can be done beyond reporting it to e-bay?
  16. I think you may find this part of your quote needs more attention paying to it "the landlady has told me that she has a licence to burn from the EA" It is HER exemtion, not yours! The "waste" you are "transporting to her place" is "commercial", and she will not be allowed to burn "commercial waste" Do you also have a waste carriers licence for said waste?
  17. Could always go out and trade in that old Harrogate meter for a real one:001_tt2:
  18. Not sure where to put this without starting another thread, but thought i would share todays "moisture vs value" sighting; Today, we called in to a very high class garden center, just for a look round. This is one of those rustic type places that sells everything from a lawn mower and flower seeds, through to a deerstalker and a jar of £6 chutney. On the way out, i spotted a heap of various firewood, softwood, hardwood, kindling and coal, even smokeless fuel. On closer inspection, the hardwood nets were £4.99 each and softwood £3.99 each with approx 12 logs in a net. Pretty much what you would expect, but, there was no mention of moisture content, and in very bold letters on the labels it said 10kgs:cursing: Sometimes i feel we are fighting an up-hill struggle:thumbdown:
  19. I am one of the "total free hand gang", and i dare say i can sharpen a chain better than ANY electric or guide type sharpener, but, on a long chain, when a metal is involved, i could almost give in to an electric sharpener:blushing: I would probably still give it the finishing touch by hand though:001_tt2:
  20. Only 1 hour to go, looks like it could go cheap!
  21. The old girl is sold! Gone today to its new home in Hartleypool. Many thanks for the many who showed interest in it, and thanks to arbtalk for another great service.
  22. Same results? I would have said those pictured have very different applications to each other?
  23. you say a week, is that 7 days? I would say that sounds cheap to me. There is easily a chance of him putting 100+cube through it in that time. Equates to £3 per cube hire. Not a great outlay for him in my opinion.
