the A Plant depot out that way used to have chippers on their fleet. I reckon the depot manager was Dave Roberts. The yard is at Umberleigh.

why do you want to bother altering the rollers? If it's not pulling in as you wish then look at the springs that pull down or check the pressure settings on the hydraulic circuit.

Ben Burgess run a hire fleet of groundcare equipment.

You can be a superb arborist, but without work your just another skint arborist.

What is "waste"? Surely woodchip only becomes waste when you have finished with it and don't want or need it anymore. If you are going to re-use woodchip as a mulch (for example), then surely it is woodchip to be used as mulch and not waste - therefore is a WCL really needed? Is Biomass woodchip classed as "waste" when is going to be used in the creation of electricity? On that thought, are logs classed as waste?

When I first saw the Pellenc stuff I was dismissive, but after talking to Ian Collington at a couple of dealer open days and thinking about it, I would not throw it out without careful consideration. It might be dear to buy initially, but, think of a future with no mixing of fuels, no noise, fewer blade replacements, no busted gearboxes, no exhaust gases, less weight on the arms and if used regularly they cost pence per day to run. As a hedge cutter (including long reach) I would certainly give it a go, I would not really bother with the other attachments tho.

I'm not aware that Stevie has been banned, what made you think that? Perhaps the moderators have got fed up with the moaning old get!

Someone did ask if CS100 blades fitted their Jo Beau, the answer was "possibly on the bigger machines but don't quote me"!

Why do we still use metric feet and inches with a mix of cm too boot?
-
I have to confess that if I was still on the tools - I'd certainly look at the Pellenc kit sold through Etesia. I was mighty impressed with that stuff and Ian Collington at Etesia in the middle lands converted me!

perhaps there are several Stags that people call Emporer.

I have to admit that for a (relatively) small place, we do have a wide variety of accents and I struggle bit at trade shows with understanding some people -have you met Stevie Blair?
-
Just wondered are there any female arborist out there ?
PeteB replied to sasha.p's topic in General chat
Fair play to you girl. I've only met a couple of lady arborists in the 27 odd years I''ve been around this business - I've always thought that due to the working conditions that it is a blokes game but get on and give it a good go. regards too you -
Fantastic vid!

So as not to confuse the issue, Premier was the brand name for Schiesling when it was sold by Jim Wilkie. It is now called Schiesling again. GreenMech is better:sneaky2:

I shed a tear for you and your family. RIP to your Mum The sun will shine through tomorrow, somewhere.......................

I do seem to remember that some outfits had over a month at home inc the break for XMas which isn't good for cash flow...................... So I hope that it isn't too bad for moneys sake.

Dead ash tinder, newspaper and half a litre of red. Butt ends into wind and jobs a good un. If your having several fires over a short period, take a shovel and move some of the coals from the previous fire.

Sounds more like an electrica; issue. Try posting this thread on the dedicated Timberwolf maintanence thread, they will respond to your query directly.

All that hard work and he has never sold one? Get that man a lesson in capitalism please! Fantastic stuff.

Hi LandyLass I'm pretty sure if everyone knew your approximate location and if they knew that yours was a free tip site then you would have a few offers! Cheers

Steady on Pete, the only thing common with TS and Schiesling is their country of origin. Both are quality machines that chip wood but there is no link between the two makes, indeed TS is now owned by the French shredder manufacturer Saelen.

Steady on Tom, the 190 is has a rated capacity of190mm or 7inch in old money! I'd buy a GreenMech!

I love the helmets they wore in them days!

True enough Mark, Andy, invest in an Ass, I'm sure Justin has Stein ones in stock!
