  1. Nope.
  2. I fancy being hit by a 7.5 tonner even less. The maintenance checks arent a problem its the license to drive that is. The iveco's are more or less the same size truck but upto 6.5 ton, this would be ideal for our job but since you need a different license it puts it out of reach for most people.
  3. Not giving any clues or my thoughts yet. So then,these are from, actually I will let you guess as to what saw they are from. [ATTACH]70619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]70620[/ATTACH] And then this one. [ATTACH]70621[/ATTACH] The first 2 have been scrapped but the third still runs well:thumbup1:, for now.
  4. Cheers for the info. Hopefully they will as £150+ for oem is a bit much! I have a few cylinders for you and Mr Spud to nosey at and give me an idea on why they failed. Will post a thread on it later.
  5. Seriously??? Would be a sure fire way to kill the AA off! Sort of off topic but I think its about time the DVLA had a good look at all industries that use 3.5 tonners and realise as we all do that in general they aren't really fit for purpose and 5 tonners fit the bill a lot better, therefore sort it out so we can run 5 tonners on normal licenses.
  6. Hopefully that's cleared it up for you. All I know is I use 100ml to 1 litre of water when treating stumps and no one has ever called me back to re poison which we state we will do few of charge if required.
  7. I get loads of good work from the YP, some jobs have grown to be worth 70K+
  8. They dont need to as we all have to have insurance by law, now if only a law was passed that people had to have there trees pruned EVERY year we could all then afford to pay insurance no problems. As it is I have my great great great grandad as the main driver, he has 150 years no claims discount.
  9. Vehicle insurance be it business or domestic is ruthless ATM.
  10. Any non oem cylinders available for the 020 or ms200t yet?
  11. Ouch! Hoping for a speedy recovery. I think your right about the dog, it needs to be reported as it could happen again, in fact hopefully the owner is already taking the right steps.
  12. Heartless cruel scum. They guy who jumped in to try and save it must be right hard bugger! I suppose they will have to change the old saying as they have proved it wrong now. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it sink."
  13. Did you sort it out then?
  14. TBH im not entirely sure but it would include Dying and Dangerous rather than diseased and damaged. Damaged would probably allow a vast number of TPO'D trees to be removed.
  15. And you leave the house to go to work for what?................................ Never dealt with any porn stars but many a fat slag.
  16. 'Edible but not good' maybe best to leave them then. Although 'if' I thought you would be right on to what they are not 'if', have you used the fungi directory above?
  17. Are they the edible ones?
  18. A better idea is to give the saw a good few quick, short high revs and make the ground staff aware of it meaning 'get a coffee on the go, Im on the way down' Well, I assume thats what you want a whistle for! Or just throw little stogs at them.

    Wallpaper scraper. the ones with a long handle are good. Sometimes it comes off easier from the top peeling down and sometimes you can rip loads off from the base right the way up, and sometimes it comes off in inch long bits. If its in the fascia board and the board looks old it can fall to bits so be prepared for that ie warn the customer first.
  20. You need a new book! Seriously though surely theres no chance that would constitute a DDD order to fell. Would be interesting though to follow how/if the crack develops and what affect it has any.
  21. I think the duty of care always lies with the owner. I have heard so many tree owners complain about TO decisions and say they will place the blame on the TO if the tree falls,splits,etc etc and kills someone damages property etc. I don't know if it's ever been tried in a court of law though.
  22. 45 quid for a pair of gloves! For that price they had best come with a pair of hands attached to a groundie! I bought a pair of the cutter ones. seem fairly tough and flexible, I have been testing them to the extreme.
  23. Con artists, hate them. I would rather someone came up to me and stole a saw from under my nose than deal with people like that.:thumbdown: I hope you get your money and they pay 10 fold, one way or another!
  24. Am I the only one that thinks if the trees have caused the damage then the owner of the trees should be paying for the repair? It will no doubt cost more to repair and strengthen the wall to accommodate the trees than to just repair it after the trees have gone. Why should the owner of the wall have to get involved in all that cost?
  25. Tbh I would be very surprised if just cleaning the tank works. The holes in the filter are fairly big and plenty gets through to the pump hence why I suggest removing and cleaning it and the pipe. Good luck though, hope it works.
