We really do need a 'like' button on this here forum. Ty

Are those giant 'caravan movers' for want of a better word that it is equipped with? Ty

AHAHAHAHA! Ty

At last, a concise response with which to back up my own conclusion. Thank you Treeseer:thumbup1: Client is convinced that the 'freeze thaw' effect is the cause. Only this ain't Siberia... Ty

Your in trouble now Mr Bolam... Ty

I like that quote Skyhuck. Ty

Well... sometimes on a Sunday I'll set out at 8am on my velo and have elevenses at the visitors centre. It's around 60km through the lanes. Or, I'll detour to Avranches where there is a boulangerie open all day Sunday and have a bun and coffee whilst admiring the Sherman in the square and reflecting on the events of 70 years ago. Ty

The charges/interest are lower for leasing than for a bank loan. There is another nuance but that is plunging deep into French business accountancy, an area I have little ken. Ty

Pre Oct 2012 road tow chippers just can't be registered in France. Besides, after the shabby treatment I got from Orange Plant over a used grinder I made a solemn oath that I'd only ever buy new in the future. Ty

Our demo machine did exactly this within 30min. Then again after lunch. However, I called Jason at G.M H.Q and a small adjustment of the bonnet catch sensor sorted the cutting out problem. The smoking from under the hood which gave us all a proper shock was in fact just the fibreglass insulation burning off whatever had to be burned off. After that was all cleared up we had 8 hours trouble free chipping. Much material right on the limit of what it could take. Our demo machine had only 4 hours on the clock and had never been used for more than a few minutes gentle chipping at a time during a trade show so never got up to heat. The smell of the hot paint, belts and insulation did alarm us but after an hour had all gone away. The blades made a lovely fine chip, the machine is going to be easy to maintain and solidly built, should hold it's value. Ty

I have a regular client with an island on the river Couesnon that exits at Mont St Michael. They had a tree house built between 4 convenient and massive poplars and the supports are bolted into the trunks around 3m up. Now we've had no real terror winds here for years and the structure only requires a minimum of adjustment on a yearly basis. The pops are good for a few more years, although I reckon they may reach terminal decline any time soon. We have just spent 3 days deadwooding the trees on the island and removing mistletoe (widow makers) I also get to see the trees at a summer garden party so twice a year inspection by both tree surgeon and carpenter.

Here: TW 240TDHB(t) Chipper | Products | Timberwolf Why is no-one talking about this machine? I had a short demo back in the Spring and thought highly of it. Ty

I am...I admit, quite without shame! Ty:001_tt2:

I think Mick is talking about something else when he mentions 'weirdness' and 'money' in the same sentence. Grindr - Find gay, bi, curious guys for free near you with Grindr on the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry Ty:001_tt2:

Just signed for an Iveco 7.5t on a 4 year lease. Far more tax efficient here than a bank loan. We've gone for a diff-lock (careful with that, not to use it 'on road') Faux leather seats, blue tooth and air-con because it's the 2 partners who are driving it principly and we like our little comforts. The tipper body is made locally and has high alu sides that fold down to allow side loading. Between the tipping body and the single cab is a large locker with a basket on top for hand tools/fuel etc. We should be good for 3.6t (against the 700kg of the 3.5t we run) 3.6t = around 7-9m3 of chip This should cut down the time spent tipping!

If your running your own outfit however small then you should be taking care your own stumps. The figures speak for themselves at the end of the day. Ty:thumbup:

I have to say, I'm in it for the money, it's just to good a business proposition. Stumps are a valuable add on sale with a very high percentage of tree and hedge removals including the stump. It's a simple recipe that works, truck, chipper, grinder. We offer fencing as an add on to hedge removal and with this a whole plethora of landscaping services. Pricing wise, I'm unashamedly greedy. I have a mate who operates a 15t 360 which cost 120k plus vat. My hourly rate for running a 25k machine is the same as his, crazy perhaps but it does not seem to be a barrier. Our plan is to replace our Carlton 4012 with 2 machines. A pedestrian and 45hp+ Ordered a new truck last Friday and signed the 'bon de command' for a GM190 on Saturday. This should give us the potential for 2 teams plus freeing up myself to take care of the grinding, quoting and childcare. All good! Ty:thumbup:

On the Quad'chop' we cut into the bearing taking care not to touch the axle the use a hammer and chisel to break the housing and bearing race. As recommended by Mac and Jason at G.M. Ty

Growth cracks? Are you saying that the wood has a fissure within and the bark is simply closing over each time it opens a little? Ty
-
Multi stemmed Sycamore. The stems have been previously topped at around 5m and now carry a further 10m+ These marks start at the old pruning points on the outside of each stem. Qu: Is the wood fractured with the bark keeping pace? Have the decay pockets become so deep as to allow the water to expand during freezing causing this? Or is it the woods reaction to the rapid weight gain? Thank you in advance for your responses Ty

Yes Mick, Our 'business account manager' has long since learned to give us an early morning slot or risk damp patches, a trail of muddy footprints and a drift of sawdust. Ty

Yeh? Think your hard up young spunker me lad! My wife waited a year! Ty

You can work here as a contracter without registering with the French tax authorities. There are certain simple formalities to respect such as carrying your proof of insurance and last U.K tax declaration with you in the event of a control. There is alot of crosstalk/bullshoite talked by French and Brits alike about working over here. Best to avoid being lured in meetings with accountants and the Chambre of Commerce as well as banks. All quite unecessary. French live for meetings, like to prove they have a full agenda, wedges of nonsensical paperwork and are forever studying your dossier. I can get you registered here in 24hrs but really not required if your just here for a year. Ty

If he is not an expert by now he never will be after all he has been through. Seriously, get in touch with SARL Le Jardinier Anglais (me) based near Rennes. We are often in need of experienced labour. Regards Ty

Morning, I'm not sure there are 'legal implications' It's not a handgun after all. However, the infeed is sufficiently high and deep to make certain that you cannot fall or be dragged in. To actually touch the blades you need to lie a GM CS100 flat and crawl inside. (take the key out though and send the work experience lad to the shops before just in case his idle fingers pull the start cord) Regards Ty
