  1. LOL, thats so true!!!!!!!!:lol: Clearly I will climb till I drop!!!!
  2. No it will burn very well indeed!!!!!
  3. No, you need to contact Company's House if you wish to be Ltd. You contact the hmrc if you wish to be VAT registered. You do not need to be Ltd to be VAT registered or VAT register to be Ltd.
  4. I go unto 30 miles on a fairly regular basis, but more often stay within around 10 miles of home. I find just the mog fine, yes it would be nice to have maybe a 3.5 ton tipper and tow behind, but I don't want the expense. I think really you need to think about what your main work is and what work you want to be doing. I knew what set up I wanted many years before I got it and worked towards it. I am pretty much my business, I do all my own climbing and cutting, the lad that works for me does not use a saw. I have equipment instead of staff. I love climbing and enjoy large removals, so thats what my equipment is best for. You need to decide what work you want to be doing, what work your best at and what makes you money and get the correct set up to do that work best.
  5. I hear what your saying, but to be honest I try to frighten my children by telling them how unpleasant fillings are and that the best way to avoid the horrors of the drill is for them clean their teeth well!!!!!! They are all happy to go to the dentists, because they always get told what a good job they are doing looking after their teeth
  6. You guys must have wives who are happy to wear a jumper, I have to keep our house in the high 20's and the radiators so hot you can't touch them, to keep my lass happy.
  7. Really, I thought the fact that the canter is overloaded most of the time was the whole reason for buying the mog???
  8. We must be better at topping up here
  9. There OK in the right place, its a good way to manage trees.
  10. I don't have great teeth, lots of fillings, but my gums are very good and so are the roots of my teeth. My dentist reckons that they can keep my teeth in good order so long as I look after them. Hopefully we will be the last generation to have bad teeth, all my 4 children (aged 7 to 16) have perfect teeth, not one filling. Modern tooth past is very,very good!!!!
  11. That sounds nasty!!! They do put some insulation (not sure its cotton wool) under deep fillings, to insulate the nerve and make the filling less sensitive.
  12. Not necessarily, the trees were originally reduced/topped for some reason (they were considered too tall by some one for some reason) I bet the rot pockets mentioned on the report were just used as a justification for carrying out the work.
  13. What kind of "poor dental treatment"??
  14. Steve I think the OP was questioning the work spec, not the standard of the actual work carried out.
  15. They have defiantly been done before and it looks like they have just cut back to the same points. Those "rot pockets" will be providing valuable habitat for all manner of creatures and now the timber above the rot has been removed they are perfectly safe, in a few years they will look fine. I have never been called out to limb failure from a topped tree, I really don't think its the danger some see it to be. I would say your average Ash tree is more dangerous than most topped trees, should all Ash trees be felled???
  16. I'm 42, been climbing for over 18 year, only ever used prussic, cut and chuck every tree, never used a ladder to access a tree or a MEWP. I still going strong and intend to still be climbing in my 70's
  17. A 7.5" chipper being powered by a 160HP mog will make you TW look like a pencil sharpener!! If you had "no stress" it would never kick in, as the engine rev's will never drop. I very rarely chip stuff over 5" with my 9" Scheisling. If you start chipping big timber you soon fill the box, plus its a waste of good timber that could just as easily go in the trailer
  18. What were you searching on that site "wood"?????
  19. Sacked it first thing as it was chucking it down, took the children to school and then took the wife out for a nice cooked breakfast, it then fined up, so I started cursing the weather girls and getting twitchy, anyway its now absolutely throwing it down, so I can relax, think we'll go the pictures this afternoon, Orange 241 Wednesdays!!!
  20. Nonsense!!!! The 66 is a far superior saw!!!! especially on hardwoods!!!!!!!!!
