  1. More from today, Me, Peter and Roachy.
  2. 50 ft up, swing one leg around, and you can do this. Me poor legs were killing me on spikes today. I feel a gecko purchase coming...
  3. new girlie harness..
  4. She holds about 11 cube of chips, and will legally carry 4 tonnes.
  5. Hehe. Rail clearance sucks big time - but it is an entry into the industry at a very difficult time, and wil give you a good grounding for the future. Who's the Company, QTS?
  6. True, but runoff water from a treatment unit is highly unlikely to be toxic. I appreciate your point though, a soil analysis would be advisable.
  7. If compacted, then aeriation is the best treatment.
  8. crushed stone and turf will be bad if compacted. I would get Lee in to aeriate the soil around the roots.
  9. Well it is my small truck. Actually, its my biggest now, as both the 6 and the 8 wheeler have gone.
  10. Yeah. big fat hairy deal. If your stupid enough to cut through your lifeline, serves you right.
  11. The sign was meant to come off. The sprayshop lovingly polished it and refited it with new brackets:rolleyes:
  12. waterlogging will cause suffocation of of the roots.
  13. 814D. I have had a few 811's, bit underpowered. This one is Turbo'd and intercooled.
  14. No. The 4x4 version is very hard to find in the UK:sad:
  15. Nope. Dont like people knowing who's topping the trees or flytipping in the layby:001_tongue: I'm going to have some funky silver flash stripes done like the Vermeer show truck, and the company logo.
  16. Finaly got my merc back from the sprayshop, has had a full cab off shotblast to bare metal rebuild. trouble is it took them 6 months:sneaky2::mad1 - in the meantime MOT ran out. Still, should'nt have any problems passing...
  17. Think I'll call you cheezy lueezy from now on
  18. My experience of the woodsman is that they perform very poorly. The infeed is very weak in comparison to the Conehead range - and the build is not as strong. The finish on the woodsman is much better than the Conehead. This is my own personal experience. The conehead if Purchased through me, is a good bit cheaper than the woodsman. As a comparison, a 565 Conehead with a 265hp cummins will fill an artic with 144 cube of chip in 55 minutes. A woodsman with a 275hp John Deere took us over an hour to fill a 30 cube grain trailer... I am told that Liston Equipment are no longer dealing in Woodsman chippers, European Recycling Machinery have taken on a direct salesman in the UK (Tim Garret - Bloody nice chap). 'Hayden', You would know a lot more about the UK chipper industry than me...
  19. Louise, Eat even more cheese. Pretty soon any hrness will fit nicely
  20. I have an 8 ft long bit we use on a 3/4 drive air gun for that work
  21. Rod bracing would certainly prevent it getting worse, I would have installed 3 30mm stainless rods and cranked it tight. I would have pruned a few heavy lateral limbs to reduce weight as an alternative to stripping off 90% of the foliage area. IMO the job spec was wrong, but Bruce was doing as he was told, so good for him for making the best of it.
  22. Mr Ed

    sweet fa

    The lower your overheads, the better chance you have of surviving.
  23. I remember Jeremy Barrel telling me during the peak of the last recession he did'nt get a single Job /enquiry for 9 consecutive months. That was a very well established AAAC... And they reckon this one is going to be worse down to the vast amount of personal debt everyone has.
