The one in Reading wanted to sell me a pair of Stihl Hi flex for the same price in the catalogue:thumbdown:

I normally get Lister Wilder to do mine but the last set I had done were sharpened to the wrong angle, which led to poor chipping and a snapped blade. Oh and they charge £20+vat a set! Wont be using them again!!

Id hire it out with a operator only!

Marc, i'm getting 25m of Armor prus from NZ just after christmas, you can have some of that if you want!
-
I've seen a container jacked up with four highlift jacks and then a flat bed lorry reversed underneath, also seen it done with a porter cabin. It is possible to do it this way but bloody dangerous!
-
That ebay one states its UK CE kite marked, didnt think they sold them over here?

It mates you wonder how the POW's got rid of all the soil when they dug escape tunnels!
-
Id quote for all the tree work first and get it cleared and then the landscaping part of the job will be more straight forward to quote for andwork out quantaties of soil to be removed. If you ever hire a grab lorry in allways have a peek in the tipper to make sure its empty. Had a guy turn up to me once with a quater of a load spread over the bottom, wasn't expecting me to look. He got sent on his way!

I'm not really that in pressed with mine! The soles have worn faster than any other boot ive had and haven't lasted that long.
-
Have you got to price in the skip? because theres allways loads more soil than you think there will be once its dug out and loose. If theres going to be a lot of soil, more than a six yard skips worth id get a grab lorry in.

It relates to the amount of posts that you have submitted.

Reducing the tree is only going to stress the tree more making it easier for the Amallaria. How vigorous has the tree been this year? Why does he want work done on the tree? To try to prelong it or for more light etc?
-
Dont go near the screwfix one! My dad baught one, did a few hours work and the pump packed in. Sent him a replacement and it had a broken wheel, they swapped that and he plugged the new one in and didnt work. Got his money back now.
-
If you do presuade him to remove, you want to get the stump out aswell, less dead wood to feed on!
-
I think but not 100% sure, drain the petrol out and then run untill it dies.
-
Id book a short NPTC climbing course with the training (think there done over a week) you will be taught to access the tree safely,you will then find out if you like working at height! If you like it then you can progress into arboriculture with something like the 10 week tree surgery course. PS I have a huge amount of respect for you guy/girls and the job you carry out.

self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)
Arborist replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
Had a demo of the greenmech today, what a brilliant machine!!!! The cutter opening is about three times as big as i thought it was going to be, handled the brash well allthough some was a bit alkward to get through (snedded Birch). the quality of the chip was good but the leaves were mainly whole and really through the chip out. SWB. did you know that greenmech are going to produce a shredder casset so that you can swap it with the chipper unit for about £700 All in a good chipper, looking to buy one very soon. -
I got a local dealer to order me some fabric off of stihl. £10 for a large peice.

Arborist replied to josharb87's topic in Stolen Equipment
Youve got to be carefull with them, Just last week on a site near me a family had a row a one ended up being shot - nearly died and when i worked on the motorway a van pulled in the works hitched up a tower light erect and working and drove off. We chased in a van and called the police who caught up on the M4, pulled them over and found 2 loaded shot guns attached under the bumper. -
Should be getting 25m brought back from NZ in Jan.
