When are permits to work on the highways required? Where can you find out, if one is required? We have chapter 8 training and signage and I am sure it was covered on the training but I can't remember and the documents relating to roadworks are ... extensive....

They are a good chipper, TS or tunnisson rebranded I believe. Fletcher Stewart used to be dealer. Try Danequip.

Just having a few numbers to call and try is great.

No but's.. a really useful resource.

That's got potential .....

George Moore gcktreeworks put together a list of sites for arbac members a few years ago.. But a searchable site would be very useful.

Yes, several of those would be perfect.. Can I get addresses...?

Is that a new arbtalk feature... ?

The AMS might be simple, but it sounds like an AIA would still need to be completed first and trees measured and plotted so the £800 doesn't sound to bad

Is there anyone in Corby Northamptonshire who will take chip or logs? I have a couple of lime trees to fell. I don't normally like going so far but it is for a regular (if slow paying) client. Thanks,

We have just won a large contract and require 2 experienced climbers full time.

Turns out the scrotes who robbed us yesterday evening were probably still onsite when the police were called but didn't bother responding. My business partner went one-way looking but they found tracks the other way... It is probably lucky they didn't meet as the outcome of tackling 3 blokes nicking your property is unlikely to be a good one..

We had a visit from three scroates yesterday evening at around 1815. They helped themselves to a, nearly new pressure washer, brand new stihl multi tool, matika electric drill with ecoplug bit, mountain bike and other items. Please look out for these items and pass on any information. I will add the arb stuff to the list. The stuff was noticed missing about 15 mins after it was taken as cameras were checked, we called the police who could not even visit... A team went searching for them but no one was found... Thanks

VERY heavy wood..

You might be able to buy a small business for that money. I have heard of a couple of firms recently who have given up the tree game, but could not find a buyer for their businesses... Do not underestimate how long it takes to build a good reputation.. and I am in the buy truck (definitely) and chipper (possibly) after depreciation hit camp... A new tree truck will look like an old one in a matter of weeks...

We cleared a site last year, they had a specialist crew in first to do a search, but they missed loads, I supplied the guys with sharps gloves and a litter picker so they could be put in a bucket without handling..

As a comparison we sometimes use an 18 wheel grab wagon to pick up logs and once for clearing a traveller site.. That was £240 for a mixed load but includes loading and local pick up. I think it would be great to have a big bin to chuck logs or chip into but as we sell all our chip, and have plenty of space to store it, I would be looking at the time saving aspect as apposed to the waste disposal and therefore it would need to be pretty cheap..

Dropping off a big roro skip could be really useful on some jobs..

The GRCS needs a nice flat place to mount on...

Not sure if things have changed since we did it.. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/arb-trucks/24186-operator-licences-again.html

If you take the biological view chickens have used humans to become the most successful bird species ever.

It's been on a while because it is over priced IMO.. They are old machines, I have seen them on ebay for the £2k mark.. I emailed him in November and this was his reply: Mini loader mini cadCompact loader with an unbelievable lift capability for the dimensions of the machine 36 in width will lift about 500 kilograms. Fully restored machine last year has been used and enjoyed and did exactly what it was intended for. Reconditioned Yamnar Diesel engine single cylinder 25 horsepower. Little smoky at full revs or under heavy load would benefit from a new exhaust arrangement never bothered me enough to change it. The exhaust is straight through no baffles. Fully sand blasted and resprayed body as you can see in the pictures has been used so it's not perfect but not close to being perfect few little mark I'm being honest. New pump new pipes new ram seals all the oily stuff is perfect small leak from the pressure release value when the machine gets hot very minimum and after the machine has been used for a long time. Machine come with a bucket and a set of forks. Very versatile and usable little machine would be ideal for a landscaper or tree surgeon or a small holding. Many applications use your imagination. You will struggle to find another one in the uk very unique machine unbelievable value for a mini skid steer. It's competitors new are close to 30k essentially this will do the same job it's just not as polished. Please let me know if you need any more information or would like to arrange a viewing or demonstration please contact by emails through eBay. Please don't waste your time making me stupid offers. This one disappeared before the end of the auction.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hatz-Diesel-Skid-Steer/253262155394?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
