  1. hyd fluid is fine , the black thingy is the flow control to speed up & slow the rollers As you've sussed No thats not the filter & DEFO dont take of the red top thats for topping up the tank & if its under pressure then you'll get a nasty shock !!!! sounds like the roller keyway to me, as if the torque cant get to the roller then it will jam , probably just hanging on in there with enough there to rotate the more you use it in that condition the more damage potential to the roller shafts key housing & that can get costly
  2. sounds like the roller keyway that links the roller shaft to the hydraulic motor might be overly worn. peice of piss to sort motor off side plate off Roller out new bit of key steel & bobs your uncle.. I'd also check filters inc air & also check the roller hydraulic flow is up high enough from the multi block. are the rollers stalling ? it should work they used to struggle when using both the shredder & chipper at the same time the factory then upt the engine size & stopped making it as a 135 re badging it as a 200 or 235 duo shredder chip combo 40 & 63 hp respectfully
  3. use UN special envoys to tell em the yanks are coming & they got guns failing that give them clear warning that the house is being repossed & will be forcebly seized the last warning 3 2 1 fire .............. or a tried country approach stick a ferret down the hole
  4. trees dont need managing they've managed for millions of years quite nicely without us lot its humans that changed the circumstances to lead to risk being managed
  5. what a bunch of numptys , not being worked hard enough , you can get your buzz in this job without reckless halfwitted stunts like that..
  6. it was an area wide appraisal of the tree stock who had a target zone other than grass n hedges, these particular trees had been previously assessed /VTA'd by the La's To & passed with flying colours.. so bang goes that theory ! Ti is another bit of kit to use as and when the need arises if the customer wants it to be used, it is a tool to aid retention (functionality) as much as it can id problems that are otherwise hidden (dysfunction) the old addage a picture paints a thousand words, & the palete can be utilised to assist the client in grasping the extent of the above
  7. okay I've seen the thermal imaging up close so first benefits are its completely non invasive data gathering is relatively quick in field, that coupled with the precision & accuracy % levels of the data collected & the subsequent findings that the system Marcus and Co' have developed using thermal imaging is impressive to say the least. No one system is fool proof & I would never condone the use of any system by a person who cannot also take into consideration a multitude of information, incuding the history of the trees on site, location, genus, specie, Vta .. hazard evaluation etc etc Thermal imaging isn’t the panacea to all ills though it is by far the best I’ve seen , once an anomaly has been identified it then leads to further investigation.. A picus or resitagraph wont highlight a sub root flare flaw along a graft line but thermal imaging did . the vta showed very little other than small leaf size nothing else diddly squat, but the camera & subsequent report showed the abnormal effects within the root base & flare of a group of trees lining a busy highway. an increment bore then confimed it 'cavitys'.. So without the camera would the bore have found it ? had it even been done ! now if that isnt the sought of proof folks need then i Dont know what is on top of that there are at least 3 counts of why not to take down a tree that doesn’t need it. 1 loss of amenity, 2 cost implication 3, return work potential once its gone its gone ....... is it right to look too advance the science of our profession ? Imo Yes Mature / veteran trees take a long time to get there & yes there has been a lot of none existent or poor tree management.. is that justification to start the saws straight away , well ultimately that’s for the client to decide as with all its Cost v retention values & replacement costs We know that NO Tree can ever be absolutely safe.. though what we can say is, that based on experience / statistics & evidence gathered on individual specimens and compared with a known control group that the evidence points to & therefore the likelyhood is ......... we therefore recommend A.B.C !!!!
  8. if your goin too puke up, @ the start of the day after the night before then do it on the ground at the bottom of the tree,
  9. it crown cleans while you work, so double the productivity
  10. never believe all that is said , unless the boss has spoken !!!! always look busy when the boss is around ,even if your not ! when the shite keeps rising around you, the mouth should remain tightly shut ..... when learning say nowt & listen lots
  11. who mentioned your own chipper !!!!!
  12. buy a big dog install good night vison cctv of passive infra red detectors & a cabinet of shotguns close by .......... then let em play with that combo' serious mate , who have you upset & how ? thats hatred not just some daft scrote'
  13. I love the way the climber thought that pushing it up, would really help
  14. the phones started to ring & it was customers .......... fixed one of the chippers roller feed in problem, only a wiring short, a **** to sort . but Cheap but the really good news its cold enough to freeze the tackle of a brass monkey & I did have to go out in it ............ JOY

  17. you'll get yourself into the bad books Ed
  18. me negative ! have you seen the Robert Pestons version !! last one turn out the lights Cant fault the enthusiasm , just aword re timing as I see the options at the moment I Know of a guy, army good carreer ahead of him with the addition of a beinga class 1 licence holder, saw a mate doing well & aspired to do the same so left to join the throng of arbos . did the kingswood resettlement courses ,bought the kit, did the advertising & hows he doing you might ask ? He's making electronic circuits in a factory SO make of that what you will , But me I see dozens of new trainees being pumped out of colleges/ training providers all with the same goal To Run an urban tree/arb business. so it might not be the best time ey, me ol cock sparra it will very much depended on where, when, how much available work is around, which depends on how much competition, the local expendable wealth. stability for job prospects , This year could & imo will be challenging for established business , those that do go by the wayside, will expell into the market place many semi /qualified staff to be absorbed prior to the new guys. Though in this case ex forces is most definatley a bonus as would give gravitas to any Cv . So LARRY Think long & hard, do your own research into the job & Your prospects, expect to need a reserve of funds & another means of sourcing a wage, there are NO Guaranteed jobs on the outside chap rgds Iain
  19. mate dont do it , i've seen multiple new starters go to the wall this year. a career , well maybe but with an increased amount of skilled labor already available then where will you fit in ?? good job but a bad bad time to join go for an undertaker, or baliff always in demand
  20. xmas = roast embden goose from my own flock, boxing day= roast peking duck again my own,
