  1. RALMAO:drunk:
  2. I disliked the idea of spending several hours cutting up this overgrown connifer and chipping it. so we didnt. took us about 30 minutes, including drinking their kindly provided tea, and being forced to take their cash - £600 less than the gypo's had quoted. trundled home and threw it on the fire back at the yard.
  3. Heres how we clear Rhody...
  4. I think it is very dangerous and stupid to be working without groundstaff. If you cant price jobs properly, you should'nt be doing them. As for your doing work within the conservation area without notifing the local authority, I think that is most reprehensible, and boasting about it is disgracefull. Finally, I think putting totally unrelated pictures of your dinner in the post is silly. Please desist, or I will be forced to ban you for good.
  5. I'm not sharing my bra's with any of you lot
  6. Welcome to Arbtalk Xerxes! Bad spelling on Anna's part I think she meant these -
  7. I dunno, I've never tried climbing in Skipes. There eas enough to climb for pruning, Just have to watch for getting our foot stuck.
  8. Seem to always be slaying poplars lately. These were awkward - right on the boundary, previously topped at 30 foot, but over 100 foot high now. Rigging was 'entertaining' (at least it was for me - Pete McTree was'nt quite as entertained...)
  9. This is the Westwood one...
  10. you need one of these -
  11. Ive seen ex squaddies putting a lovely shine on there chainsaw boots.
  12. Hahaha... sorry Anna, thats Roach the groundy...
  13. Ladies glow, men perspire, pigs sweat.
  14. I had a 65c15 iveco, was a most excellent piece of kit.
  15. Je parle mieux que je tape. Aide les outils linguistiques de Google
  16. I've pooh poohed footlocking for years, mainly because most of my stuff is big takedowns. Last week Peter was working with me and used footlocking in some really usefull ways. I'm going to start practising the art from now on.
  17. Actually, it was all I could find at the time. It was an emergency Job, 3 BIG leylandii blown onto the road. My grab truck was in the workshop having its brakes done, so I took the flatbed. It is SO much easier handleing stuff with the grapple and top seat controls.
  18. Hey, never use chains when feeding a chipper - a polyprop strop chips easily enough, a high tensile steel chain doesent....
  19. Was someone mentioning stuffing in big connifers?
  20. Botex 300 is a pretty weedy crane. And 3 point linkage cranes are for handleing softwood produce, not lumps of heavy hardwood. I've seen a 3PL crane shear straight off.
  21. Got a train ticket Lee, will that do?
  22. This one? http://www.earborist.com/Other_Loglift-71f-Crane_3536.php Thanks skyhuk. This has been sat in my yard for ages, and needs to go (read as need the cash for something else...). It would go really nicely on a trailer behind a mog.... That unit of yours is really nice skyhuk - reckon I would prefer it on the back end of the mog, but I suppose that would ruin your chip box.
  23. I went to look at that exact truck, superb value, think he wants £14k for it, absolutely immaculate condition, perfect for treework.
