  1. No but its better than a TW 150 which is a comparable comparison, and a 220 would out chip a 190 in a heartbeat, time is money I'd rather a double the price Schliesing than a TW, Schliesing roller power/fork breaking saves on time/money and operator fatigue.....
  2. Every greentooth i've seen has had a chip of tungsten taken out of it, I don't like them personally, yellow jackets look ok though, i used to like the vermeer pro tooth myself, trouble is the take an age to change
  3. IMO a waste of time, a quad and crane trailer simply doesn't carry enough weight, you could carry more with a landy and ifor, the crane imo is a waste of time too, I could handball nearly as fast as one of those small cranes, granted if access is tight you might get a hire or if the site is sensitive
  4. Dream on brother..............
  5. I was agreeing with your post up until this part, the truth is Schliesing chippers out chip anything on the market that I've used, the power of the rollers makes them a cut above the rest, crunching up those forks, is where its at!
  6. Hmmm maybe not
  7. Crystal meth I bet...........
  8. I spoke to Mike a few days ago on the phone, he's having a month shut down, but I'm sure Prochip will be open for business in September
  9. I agree with Peter hiabs on 7.5 toners is a waste of time, the best lorry for tree work is by far the Isuzu, they are the best weight carriers in the 7.5 ton class, I had one and would have another in a heartbeat
  10. and bump again roll up roll up any takers for the quiz.................
  11. There are a few mate i'm sure they'll be along soon
  12. Are these dolphins an endangered species?
  13. I belted one with a shovel once, that taught the tw@t to stand there watching us work, ok so we cut his home down! tough move on! get over it! plenty of folk have to relocate:biggrin:
  14. Bacterial canker of cherry The causal agent is Pseudomonas syringae pv morsprunorum. Susceptible trees include Prunus avium (wild cherry) and its ornamental and fruiting varieties and other Prunus species including plums, peach and apricot. Symptoms usually consist of scattered shoots which fail to flush in the spring, but sometimes this can affect entire branches or even whole young trees. Close inspection will reveal large areas of dead and dying bark, usually girdling shoots or branches, and an amber coloured gum also exudes from affected areas. During the summer the bacteria which cause the cankering can be found on the cherry leaves causing brown spots. Cracks develop around the brown spots, so the discoloured tissue falls out to leave the so-called ‘shot hole’ symptom. As well as infecting leaves, the bacterium also infects the bark via scars left after leaf fall and through any injuries. It is apparently inactive over winter, but in early spring can grow rapidly in the bark causing cankers.
  15. This chap was my great grandads cousin, he could bench press by all accounts British Wrestling Archives
  16. I say wring the little furry critters neck, skin and gut then place in a nice bath of boiling hot oil, well if it was good enough for Elvis.................
  17. Anyone ever heard of the RSPCA laying anyone off?
  18. How do you lot know drowning is cruel have any of you actually drowned? from what little I've read about drowning and stories from survivors its supposed to be quite a nice feeling! Look out look out , you nearly stood on that ant, £1500 fine I'll have you know lol bloody pathetic! I always knew the RSPCA were a joke, there only interest in this case is donations to keep them in a cushy little job!!!
  19. If we were really concerned with the environment we'd all be voting Green Party, they only have one MP so in reality we don't really give a toss
  20. Hmmm have you thought it might be down to the fact we are in recession and everyone's skint?
  21. I don't think it did, the girl is now a women of 30 years old, this vid was shot in 1992
  22. bump
