  1. The big risk here is conflict of interests.
  2. Sorry just reread your post, ours was an auction, not a raffle.
  3. Why would someone without trees bid?? I've done it for my children's school in the past, once a load of logs and the last time half a days tree work.
  4. They don't thatch an empty barn.
  5. I'm starting to wonder if tree work is just going to be an add on to other firms. It seems every gardener and landscaper is doing tree work, often with the help of a subbie climber. I only do tree work, but things are nothing like they were, I wonder about fencing and landscaping, but would prefer to specialise.
  6. Shooting moles?????????????????????????????????
  7. Surely its more like adding lane, preventing congestion????
  8. Looks nice, is it a Vos one?? Out of interest, which tyres do you run??
  9. Which 3.5t truck has a 1.5t payload?????? Most are between 500 and 1000KG.
  10. As above speak to Alex or Stan at A C Price. A U1700 would not be my first choice for tree work.
  11. Nice one:thumbup1: My kind of "reduction", I'm always happiest when the customer gives me a very precise finished hight requirement
  12. Depends who's taking them and how legit your going to be.
  13. "Pruning" is simply the act of removing a part or parts of a tree, you cannot "reduce", "thin", "dead wood", etc, with "pruning, but "pruning" in no way describes what parts of the tree that are removed or the finished form or shape of the tree.
  14. Not really, this tree has been "pruned", but I don't think anyone would say its been reduced
  15. Not really, "pruning" is simply the removal of any branch, twig, limb or multiples there of. A "reduction" suggests making a whole tree smaller. A "trim" is what you do to to a hedge or ask the barber for. IMO.
  16. You must never remove something like that!!, I heard about a guy who found a young lad who had fallen through a glass house, the boy had a large shard sticking out of his leg, the guy pulled it out, the lad bled out and died. A climber I used to work with once rescued another climber who had stuck a saw into his leg while up a tree. My mate left the bar and chain in his leg, he packed around it with bandages to slow the bleeding and removed the saw head from the bar.
  17. If you were 17 in 1997, your now 33/34, the retirement age is rising fast, so I think your talking around 40 years, hardly "a few years"
  18. Timber from arb is NOT waste, even the Environment Agency recognise this and no longer require you to have WCL when moving it.
  19. This is no big deal, if your van/truck is white, just get a respray:biggrin:
  20. Stan is on here, he is Alex's main sales guy. I am hopping to get to Justin's show this year!!
  21. I don't get this? Isn't the whole point of portal axels to increase ground clearance? but the way those are attached has not increase ground clearance at all:confused1:
  22. These could be of interest, they are chip blowers used for loading and unloading chip for fuel applications. Alex Price has been selling these for a good few years now so should know how suitable they would be for this situation. AC Price Engineering - Auer Woodchip Blowers It is a fantastic place, I would love to go see how its come along
  23. The thing that really gets me is people seem to see this as Stihl sticking up for small dealer, when in reality they could not give a toss about anything but profit. If they were an ethical company would they have moved so much of their production to china???
