  1. I think its quite acceptable, why not? Are you saying the LA should only allow less of a reduction?
  2. So what we are saying is that the dealer selling the saw should take responsibility for checking the saw over rather than the manufacture? And that if there maintained regularly they should break down? Rubbish, thats like saying land rovers are reliable as long as you fix them before they break! Ive never liked Husky's because they arent as reliable as Stihl's that I think is a FACT! Well IMO:001_tongue: Does sound like Magnus is a top dealer to have a bout though.
  3. Poor weather for the last 2 months hasnt helped either. I doubt many people have been out in thier gardens thinking the hedges need sorting or "I really must get one of the professional tree people to inspect the health of my tree." Works been well below average here for the last 18-24 months anyway. Pricing has gone beyond even "Doing it for the wood", I'm removing a eucalyptus next week for nothing "Just for the smell" As Mick says though you never know what job can pop up around the corner.
  4. Try these. [ATTACH]45304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]45305[/ATTACH] Failing that send it to me and I will fix it for £300:thumbup1:
  5. 99.9% of the time I just climb then and walk ish along the top. Nice big 3 way ladders for the sides. I have only came across one hedge job where it needed a mewp, but I haven't looked at every hedge job.
  6. ITV now, one of the toppest films ever.
  7. Ah they have one of those here, not sure if it is a 32M jobbie though! Had a look at it ages ago when I hired a cherry picker off them, was a nice bit of kit.
  8. Whats wrong with the alloy high lifts? The plastic ones are too cheap to buy and therefore easier to loose than an expensive alloy one.
  9. What volume of chip do you reckon you had? Or did you already say. I have an LDV that weighs 2.6T empty and I can get 6 cube in on a squeeze.
  10. I reckon I would do that in a day with 2 others so would be about £400-450.
  11. 3859kg.
  12. All interesting stuff about the washers etc, but really, on a pro saw should we have to start changing parts and being careful of torque settings. I only have one husky (3120) and the exhaust bolts do a good job of coming loose.
  13. I win a big percentage of my jobs because I am the cheapest. I still do a top job and compared to most on here my rates are too cheap, I still get undercut quite often though!
  14. Theres not many companies that could use that machine to its potential to make it pay surely!
  15. Nice bit of spotting:001_smile: Hi-lift Alloy wedges FTW!!!!! Although I have smashed a few to bits in the heat of something not moving.
  16. No its a crime committed by both, fracture pruning is just a fad thier going through. IMO the most natural way to remove a branch is with C4, just like the Egyptians used to do.
  17. All in pay just under 10K a year for 100m2 inside and 40m2 outside. The rates, water,elec soon adds up!
  18. Sip progress type A:thumbup1: Only problem is that they are pink! Just dont buy the wrong trousers eh... [ATTACH]45223[/ATTACH]
  19. Just incase I missed it why do you want to give up the climbing completely?
  20. If you want my honest advice I think your are too passionate about what you believe in to be a tutor/trainer. It would be your way or (I would like to say highway but that is so Yank) nothing from what I see.
  21. Mesterh

    X factor

    Its the beginning of the end of my life. Bring back Bullseye for God's sake.
  22. Madness! Managing to miss all four dogs like in a tractor:thumbdown:
  23. Ive seen a few shows from these guys They have rubber bones and feel no pain!! There mental.
  24. Or change the job spec.
  25. Big gobs rule. Especially when there full of steel!! [ATTACH]45141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]45142[/ATTACH]
