I have been asked to spray for aphids on a 4m high by 20m long leylandii hedge! We've got a backpack sprayer and PA1 and PA6. Any one done it, or have any info on what to use and rates?

The 088 been out a few times.. It was the only saw we had after getting done over!! We took out the redwood and I had a few cuts up the tree with it! It's LOUD!

I've a collection of signs, I managed to find the opposite road narrows last week so have my chapter 8 covered in most normal situations. I have NEVER nicked any, all have been found abandoned, most in need of repair. As its an offence to leave signs out, I'm doing service collecting them!

Keep it simple, had a designer friend of a friend do ours:

I did take some in situ, only to find when I got home that I didn't have a card in the camera. The oak they are pictured on is a car boot bargain which has been the reason for knocking down a wall in my old house and building an extension in the present one... The things you have to do to get a big table to fit in your house!

This is one of a number of brackets round the trunk and roots of a whitebeam. Not a like you get in the books but I'm guessing: Ganoderma adspersum (thum can't go through!)

What's the longest you've had a customer sit on a quote? I had a guy call me up today with a quote I'd sent out in July 2006! He's finally got round to wanting the work done... Only a small job felling a laburnum so I said we'd honor the quote.. (+VAT as we weren't registered then).
-
Any one got any info? Different methods of application/innoculation, and any associated problems.. Cheers

The guy found with our saws is up on court on the 27th of March! So the police do something..

If you see knock of stuff report it to Ebay.

That's the third company in the East Midlands I've heard of that's been done over since the start of the year! We only just got our insurance cheque paid in the bank today! PMTree, If you've got identifying marks or serial numbers post them and we'll know what to look for. All our kit is now engraved in multiple places, it might not stop it getting nicked but if it makes it more difficult to move on it's got to be a good thing!

Tunnissen Chipper Model 190 puts a spanner in the works

I did mention it as I was picking the chipper up, but forgot to mention it before then! -
Tunnissen Chipper Model 190 puts a spanner in the works
benedmonds replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Large equipment
We've been running our old kwick chip 222 with a new lombardini engine along side our TW 190, I'd find it difficult to choose between them. If the No stress device worked on the Kwick chip I'd probably choose it above the TW -
Are you going back on the tools?
-
I've used AHS before to get rid of chip and they are often calling saying they want it, buzz will give you the details... They paid us £5 a ton collected. Don't mean to spoil your arbtalk monopoly Buzz but, a friend who is doing some research at a powerstation has sent me a link for A W Jenkinson forest products, he's told me they'll give £18 a ton for arborial arisings! I guess you have to deliver it, but if your near by could be worth while. http://www.awjenkinson.co.uk/ Anyone had any dealings?

Don't get the samsung M110 - I hate it! it is robust and has a 5mg camera and flash, but I'm back to my old Nokia..
-
It is an old 206 - Do you think it's worth buying?

BT REALLY PISS ME OFF! To get a quote for the line removal it's "£85 for site visit and then £55 per man per hour or part hour which would be chrageable whether the work went ahead or not" Then they seem to want the engineer to sit there for the day watching at £55 an hour! Does any one know if you can employ your own phone engineer/sparky to come out and take the lines down? That's got to be cheaper then the £500 odd quid a day they want! Then again I could just wipe out the lines and let them fix the mess!

We run transits for every day work but have a toy Mitzy Pinin to quote and tow the chipper where the transits would get stuck, ie a flat wet grassy field..
-
Unfortunately this job involves a crane and 7 or 8 lines to diffferent owners so doing it on the side is not really an option. I have done it myself before but want to do it the right way as it's quite high profile.. Not sure I will if it's going to be £100 a line however.. Not sure how the offices and old peoples home are going to respond either... Hmmm are these big jobs worth the bother?

I HATE dealing with BT, spoke to 7 different people and cut off 3 times! Email seems to have worked better.. [email protected] External Network Relocation Team Member/Openreach Tel: 0800 012 1387 (option 6) Web: http://www.openreach.co.uk

Any one do it/know of someone in the East midlands for a couple of days. Smaller the better..
-
Who the hell do you call to get BT lines taken down before the job? BT are giving me a right run around!
