  2. Be perfect for all the roadside ash that will be dead around hear in a few years..
  3. Anyone tried the TS Tunnisen WS/23-75 DT 23cm Wood Chipper | PSD Groundscare WWW.PSDGROUNDSCARE.CO.UK Includes cutting disc technology, eco chips, bio degradable lubricant, pilot system swing, silent blocs, electric control, 270° adjustable chimney, 270° turntable, and folding hopper.
  4. I would find that very confusing.. It's bad enough having the indicator and wiper stalks on the wrong side, like I do in our Hyundai. I nearly always pick the wrong side.... whatever I am driving...
  5. Rebranded tunnissen/TS Industrie. A kwikchip is going to be getting on in years. The 222 was pretty comparable to a TW190 back in the day.
  6. Anyone know any thing about this setup? Is anyone at Blue Sky Tree Care on here?

  8. Carbon shaft - 1 metre Carbon fibre shaft extension for KM-HT and KM-HL WWW.STIHL.CO.UK Extra light weight shaft extension. Carbon inner shaft, aluminium outer. Reach extension: 1m. For use with the HT-KM and HL-KM KombiTools. We have been having lots of issues with these recently, they are constantly breaking.. They used to do a 1m ali one that was more robust.. But that now only comes in a 0.5m Is there anything better for trimming those high hedges... The Kombi engines are fine.. Do other makes fit the stihl Kombi?
  9. I don't really get the contract lift vs hire with trained operator. I have discussed on here previously.. We use and guy who has been using cranes for decades, his cranes are old but he knows his stuff, is good to work with and the lifts are planned between the climber and the crane operator... He does not differentiate. If I hire a crane and trained operator, they are surely going to be responsible for the crane and lift. What is different on the ground when you get a contract lift? It just sounds like a way to add a couple of hundred quid on the hire rate. With a contract lift does the "appointed person" tell the climber where to sling and cut? If I did a hire only and told the trained crane operator to lift something too big, surely the trained crane operator is still going to be responsible if it goes pear shaped. If you compare it to hiring a wagon to take away waste. I could potentially overload it, but it is going to be the driver who gets in grief if it is overloaded.
  10. I recently got 10 used half size 2.4m x 0.6m x 12mm ‐ 17kg ones for £35 each MultiMatts Ltd 181 Samuel Jones Crescent, Little Paxton, St Neots Cambs PE19 6QZ Tel: 0800 6226838 E-mail: [email protected] www.multimatts.co.uk
  11. Try and use some common sense. I do an annual survey at a scout camp site in a wood and yes certain trees in the higher use areas where tents are pitched or seating areas need the dead wood removing, but you can't make it 100 percent safe without felling the lot. Try zoning the areas. I do have concerns at another scout camp site that is 90% ash and might well have to be abandoned if ADB takes hold.
  12. If I could justify one, I would buy in an instant. I imported a mazda bongo from Japan and it was 15 years old but still mint. I have wanted a 70 series for decades.. Every few years I check various web sites in different countries and contemplate importing one. But I don't need one..
  13. You could import from Japan.. Used TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 70 2015/Feb GRJ79-1001497 in good condition for sale CARFROMJAPAN.COM Cheap used 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser 70 for Sale, ready to ship. CAR FROM JAPAN is the best way to buy cheap second...
  14. Toyota Land Cruiser TD4.5 VDJ79L 4x4 Pick-up - pk trucks Holland WWW.PKTRUCKS.COM New Toyota Land Cruiser TD4.5 VDJ79L 4x4 Pick-up (2019), unspecified emission. For sale at pk trucks. Available from... Big J you seem to be willing to spend £'s, just import a 70 series and make us all jealous. Although we might have to wait till Brexit as you have to export outside EU..
  15. It could be worse. If your an employer you also have to pay your employees a wage to do the pointless tests.
  16. Oaks naturally retrench in old age and a reduction can often be done leaving the tree looking good. It might not be the best thing for the tree, but in my experience they seem to cope fine in the short term. Many of our ancient oaks will have been chopped and cut in all sorts of non bs3998 ways over thier 600+ years.. and are doing fine. As long as plenty of leaf is left. Anything that lives as long as an oak has to be able to adapt and take some abuse..
  17. Since selling our 2 trucks for export a few weeks back, we got a speeding ticket in Germany and now got a quote for topping some conifers in Czech Republic... I can have tax deductible to trip to prague to do the quote...
  18. In my opinion yes. We have two 3.5ton isuzu tippers. Different league from the 3.5 ton transit and ivecos.
  19. Happily or legally? Many, many, years ago I recal the crane operator asking how much it could carry as we lowered a 3 ton lump into our smiley transit. Tipped happily. But legally depends on the back but probably only 200 to 700kgs
  20. Cheers for the feed back. It's been a few years since I have been on the tools so my decision making is perhaps biased to £'s it's going to cost.. I do remember the increase in productivity moving from a tw190 to the tw250. I was hoping the 8 inch machines of which there are many had increased in a similar way the little ones had. The tw230 is imo as productive as an old tw190.
  21. Do you need to own? What about hiring when you need? 4x4 Vehicles WWW.SHB.CO.UK
  22. Conversely, buying new or leasing means you waste a huge amount of cash on depreciation. I agree you need a reliable vehicle but a new truck will not earn you any more money then an old reliable one. New trucks do breakdown and still need to be maintained. I can't imagine leasing would work in our industry as the abuse they get means that you are going to get shafted when you return it. My advice buy as good as you can. My preference would be an ex lease vehicles. Often looked after and the worst of depreciation gone..
  23. I am happy with threads going slightly off track... My initial feeling was for a 10 inch machine as when we went that way it gave us an advantage over the competition, but it has to make economic sense. Most of the work we do is domestic and many cope with smaller chippers and they are MUCH more affordable. Technology has changed and the sub 750 chippers these days seem to have output similar to the bigger machines of yesteryear when I was on the tools.. If the same is the case for the 8 inch machines then they might be not far off the output of our old 10 inch machines, and therefore its worth considering them also. There are lots more of the middle size machines about and so used is more likely an option. If I could have 2 or 3 medium chippers for the price of 1 large.. That might make more sense.. There are also a lot more specialist firms with massive chippers who do all the ground clearance stuff these days. I don't want to go down that route..
  24. Is this Forst bashing just from GreenMech staff/dealers and Mick? The guys liked the one we tried and there are some on here who seem to be very positive, I seem to recall Mick Dempsey was when he first got one?
