We used to let ours roam the garden, but they try to get in the house and crap everywhere. They now have a run that extends under the trampoline.. They keep the weeds down and have plenty of space to scratch around. Don't get them as a cheap source of eggs..

According to the national safety council. Speeding was a factor in 26% of all traffic fatalities in 2019, killing 9,478, or an average of over 25 people per day. I reckon the lives saved from slowing down idiots is worth the occasional tech issue that might accidentally slow you down..

We have a Vermeer BC 1000xl that I think is fairly comparable to the bandit 90.

Drove down to see the folks in London. The London ulez, is inside the north/south circular. Lots of signs but added extra dimension knowing if I get in the wrong lane and take a left will probably get a fine..

Anyone any experience with the new grafters. I am very fond of the old 3l models. They pull like trains as demonstrated by one of our guys who managed to drag the bc230 XL with the hand brake on, leading to bursting both tyres.. "I thought we just had a heavy load on?" But can the new EU6 which I believe is a 1.9 diesel really do the job?

I am sure this would be a good EV for many.

Still hiring..

The Vermeer BC 1000 is 12 inch, where as the tw 250 is 10 inch I believe. As primarily handfed machines in a tree surgery business I am not sure it makes a big difference, both will chip whatever you can feed it. You might get a few extra logs from the 250. Either chipper can keep up with a couple on men loading. Might be a different matter if you were loading with a machine but don't think either machine designed for that.

We now run a bc1000, it doesn't do anything the tw250 couldn't..

We had 2. They were a great chipper, big lumps with stupid low profile tyres but still a decent machine, especially when the turntable worked. I would be nervous about buying one now simply because spares are likely to be an issue and they will be pretty old. The hydraulic motor went on one of ours and one had issues with the chassis. As timberwolf could not source a replacement motor we made one good machine. While I am sure something could have been sourced it was not straight forward..

Better than 500k loss on £15m turnover..

HI-LINE CONTRACTORS S.W. LTD. filing history - Find and update company information - GOV.UK FIND-AND-UPDATE.COMPANY-INFORMATION.SERVICE.GOV.UK HI-LINE CONTRACTORS S.W. LTD. - Free company information from Companies... In 2020 they increased turnover from £11 million to £15 million but made a loss of nearly £500k. Great example of turn over, vanity, profit sanity, cash is reality.

Did you see the pictures of it? It looked worse in the flesh..

Will advise the landy here as soon as ready for sale.

Paid £5,300 for our Isuzu grafter in 2013. We thoroughly abbused it and it looked like a shed. I don't remember it breaking down once in that time or needing anything but basic maintenance. Certainly nothing more than a clutch and I think only one of those.. We just sold it for £3300.. Really can't complain. Hopefully it will be a trend and we will be able to sell our Land rover for more than we paid 10 years ago..

While I admit that in the 18 years I have been in business I have yet to become rich.. Retaining the tree preserves it and we get to return and do more works so can continue to generate income from said tree, so perhaps NOT the worst business decision..🙂

I disagree, you can sometimes create an aged look with cedars. Not all, but many have an internal crown that you can cut back to retaining a natural shape like over sized bonsai. This may not be the best example, but it was the only one roadside I could remember off the top of my head. It lost a big limb in 2017 leaving it exposed, and we reduced it . Second photo borrowed from street view shows it 3 years later. With a bit of thinning it would be even better and certainly better than no tree.

A climbing inspection would be pretty pointless, but it could be possible to retain the tree. I know others would disagree. Depending on the targets I would probably recommend a 5 or 6m reduction, to reduce the sail area of the remaining tree. Cedar copes well with large wounds and with skill you can reduce cedars leaving the tree looking natural.
