  1. Alder is extremely rot resistant when permanently submerged, but not good out of the water. Basically use what you can get..
  2. Autos are favoured by a lot of the serious competition 4x4 competitors, I'd have an auto landy if they made one...
  3. I've always wanted to fell a big tree on a car...... perhaps you could video it for me:001_smile:
  4. If a client doesn't care about the hedge why spend ages cut and chucking when 1 cut will do?
  5. How did you find it?
  6. I bet Dadio could have jumped that right over the hedge.... Nice job mate.
  7. To be fair Steve, that was the only benefit I could see, but at say a 12' log a tiny movement in the saw could be several inches at the cut...
  8. Gimmick. Why would you want it?
  9. Nice to see them putting a section in for the bored husbands, why else would you go to the ballet?
  10. In the spring, when the first shoots appear you can eat them like asparagus, Apparently. Never tried myself as I have never found it at the right time of year.
  11. If its you, your kit, van and chipper, then you should be looking for something approaching your normal day rate. TD Tree & Land Services Ltd.
  12. I'm sure it will polarise opinion.
  13. They'll be 3 years old, as they were submitted in 2010 so thats for 08-09. Interesting to have a look at the competition though..
  14. Thanks for the replies, seem's they are worth the extra money then.
  15. Ace, just checked myself out, £36 in the bank and a value of -5K. quality.
  16. I know, I was just looking for an opinion from a user:001_smile:
  17. It was for scale, that was a big plate...
  18. I know they are well built, but what are they like to use, anyone got one? Looking at the S-280
  19. I was trying to get one a couple of weeks ago, they had a 3 week waiting list... Try ACRO.
  20. And thats only because you like coffee. I got 8:001_smile:
  21. its 12% Robbing B@@@@@@DS.
  22. I have had 3 separate shocks at 240v (not in tree work) its not pleasant, but at 11kv you will FRY. literally. My dad knows a farmer who touched an 11kv line with a sprayer, the tractor stopped as the electrics failed, all 4 tyres on the tractor burst and melted. Scary stuff. You will probably find that the power co will do it for free, good news for your client, not for you..
  23. I always have one on my landy, a lot of plant hire companies only have pin hitch trailers. Its better for towing with a rope too.
  24. PM your address mate, I'll get my old man to send it, they have parts going out all the time.
  25. They have them in my local blacksmiths, I could pick one up tomorrow if you like? There's 2 different ones from memory, different load ratings.
