  1. a double stake and cross piece would look smart as there uniform, but if they dont need it even better.
  2. i guess its down to your luck, i started as a trainee, and was very lucky to be given a lot of time, attention ,training, tickets etc and on the flipside have now been working in the same company for 8 yrs, but at the end of the day you need to find what works for you and your business.
  3. digger drivers and trees and their roots never seem to mix in my experience, either a quick tidy around the root zone or a re landscape to about 1 foot up the trunk, its a shame as most drivers i have worked with are super skilled and careful....once told. carl
  4. good to see some replanting, hope you gave them a good drink! they were stable enough with no staking? carl
  5. there a fantastic bit of kit wether you make your own or buy one ,its the having one thats the important bit!
  6. iam gona go in at 90 foot as those buildings in france are often pretty mega., hope its not coming down!??
  7. we have used wire rope crimps and hose pipe round the trunks and fencing stakes knocked into the ground, seems to work fine. carl
  8. mmm ye, but no trees!
  9. thanks garden kit, that all sounds possible as i had to replace one hanger and attatch the other , ill get under there and have a good look as keen to get it to cut right as it flies round my lawn (when its not too long). thanks carl.
  10. ive got a john deere mower with a freedom 42 mulching deck, and i have just welded the deck and now the "V" deck belt keeps getting a twist in it and seems quiet hot and also squeeks and start up ??? it apparently all worked before it needed welding and i havent touched the toothed timing belt, any ideas would be great thanks. carl
  11. can one buy metal deck shells for john deere domestic ride on mowers??? thanks carl
  12. great photos, thanks and i do like that young lady that pops up in all your shots!
  13. thats funny mark, i thought maybe it had some rescue advantages, i am sure john will explain in due course. thanks carl
  14. nice tree there, could you explain the base tie off thanks carl
  15. you,d have to sort that a hell of a lot before i went near it!!!! not that i have a chipper or live in norfolk
  16. Timberjak Chainsaw Bar Tip Grease Gun Kit for Dolmar Echo Oregon Bars | eBay how about these ones?? looks good.
  17. hi david my 2 cents worth.. i cant see any way you can become a gardener without some form of motorised transport idaelly a van, example simple hedge job , clippings staying onsite, ladders , hedgetrimmer, rake, petrol, toolbox etc going to be pushed getting that into a wheelbarrow not to mention looking like a bit of a plonker!! tools and vehicle are essential for work and they arnt cheap to get or run so without cash its gonna be very difficult imo. good luck carl
  18. i think the wet is the problem in ireland, i spent ages killing the moss and scarifiyin the crap out of it and over the wet winter its back again just as bad.
  19. ok thanks josh will look into that as the peltors are the best muffs imo.
  20. i want to get some chipper spec ( the black and red ones) ear defenders for my petzel vertex helmet, will they fit and can i attatch a normal mesh visor on?? got the msa ones but find they get soaked with sweat and arnt great. thanks carl
  21. i often think its down to bad decisions by planners and designers, putting trees near roads seems a bit stupid if your not going to care for them properly, shrubs would be better at least the dont mind being hacked as much and wont pose a threat to the road. carl
  22. id be incline to agree with the above:thumbup1:
  23. thanks for posting about this, iam always keen to hear details, so he climbed above his anchor then slipped and shock loaded his anchor ? did the anchor fail due to a weak fork? glad he is ok. thanks carl
  24. just watched that and kinda wished i hadnt! glad ben is recovered ok.
