self propelled chipper (Shreks wee chipper)
Ty Korrigan replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Large equipment
I totally agree with that. We now run a quadchip thanks to the money generated by a CS100 which I sold for £620 less than I paid for it after 230hours use. I couldn't face going back to using one full time though, it would certainly kill me with the effort! Regards -
Is 'deal' also the same stuff? I imagine that a conifer that grows in colder or even drier climates has a closer grain and a denser structure. My wifes home town of Essouira in Morocco is surrounded by Tetraclinus trees, known also as Thuya. They look like scabby Italien cypressus but because they grow in semi-arid conditions their wood is close grained and hard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraclinis Regards

One of my better 'sales pitch lines'...hhh!

Hello, I say get rid of it, get the stump ground out and plant a Liquidamber or a Paper Birch instead. Far nicer with thinner crowns so more light also autumn colour and a lovely form. Regards

Cheers for that link! I've ordered 2, just in case... Many thanks

Ha! You may mock but that is just what my French boss gave me to use back in 2008 when I was employed to climb for a large firm of landscapers. I asked him "is this a test...?" He pointed to the CE mark and said it was all I was going to get!
-
Cheers! I'll try bidding on this but if you find one that is just for sale let me know. Thanks!

Just ran over mine today. I left it hung over the sides as I pulled forward but a branch snagged it off and I crushed it under the trailers wheels...nuts. I can only see them for sale on the web at Barlow trailers for a handsome £72 inc vat. Are there any other sources of this style of handset? Regards
-
Cheers, thanks for the advice. I'll go for the 'drop test' on the 16th when my itinerant mechanic visits for a cambelt and fluid change. Regards

We bought an Atlas with the mesh high sides. We then cut the mesh out of the frames and pop-riveted alloy panels on to make a chip box. We strap a groundsheet over the top when chipping to stop re-bounds and it can carry about 5m cube. Regards
-
Yes, I tend to agree with all of that. But for the size of the ding...I can't see how that would knock the axles on each side out. I guess a chipper is a trailer running at maximum load 100% of the time BUT it really should have a greater tolerance to cope with the stresses surely?
-
Hello all, Any-one out there any remarks on the axles and breaking mechanism? We are experiencing poor tyre wear on both wheels, inside of the tyres has worn bald in 10months. We have a small ding on one rim from traffic calming but surely this couldn't cause the axles to run out of alignment...? Our dealer just shrugs and says it is this that has caused the mis-alignment. We have owned various trailers now for 20years and have and NEVER seen this kind of wear before. From new, when following the chipper we have often thought it looked 'pigeon toed'... Any thoughts...?

<p>Hello,</p>
<p> We have lot's of sheds, gates and awnings being booked in.</p>
<p>The tree work is drying up especially from Brits.</p>
<p>The last quote the next guy was 40% cheaper WTF!</p>
<p>Also, I seen to be getting timewasters from my ad on A.I.</p>
<p>They go like this " Normally my husband would do this but it's leaning towards the house" OR " How much to cut down this tree? as we are on a tight budget"</p>
<p>I say, "Send me some images and I'll give you an idea"</p>
<p>No images=bored timewasters...</p>
<p>We are buying some land with a workshop for the business which will be a weight off my mind.</p>
<p>How many grass days have you? If you sell your house then you could invest in some kit to kickstart your business well and truly...I did and it worked!</p>
<p>Another thing, get yourself a web site made up, best advert you can get.</p>
<p>I'm off to Villandry with my wife tomorrow, google it, amazing gardens.</p>
<p>Right, laters friend!</p>

Free pine and Tree of heaven seasoned firewood- Chelmsford

Blunt, to the point but actually quite correct really, sorry! -
This is aimed at less experienced and homeowners
Ty Korrigan replied to Craobh's topic in General chat
I love your grammar, second only to Mendip Logs..hhh! -
We run an HB20 and although it does have it's limitations the number of pure gold jobs I have turned down because it couldn't manage are...NONE! In all, it does very well for us and it is difficult to justify a bigger better machine costing 2-3 times what we paid for ours. I am sure we wouldn't win 2-3 times the work from it. However... There is such a thing a credibility. This is to say, when people know you are equipped then you are likely to get more jobs to suit. I have observed this now run have moved up from a wee CS100 to a Quadchip.
-
So which is it then? We have a 2007 Daily we bought last September. Twice now on a Spring morning it would not start/turn over after running well enough the day before. No alternator warning light showing and the battery charged up after a couple of hours enough to get the engine going again. No lights or radio left on. Battery looks old and mouldy... I can tell by putting a volt meter across the terminals when I get hold of one but is there any test for an alternator or anything else I should look for? Regards

Imagine if you had looked at the sun! Fried your brains perhaps...hhhh!

A slight de-rail, sorry. Can 'civilians' hire grinders and chippers without certificates in the U.K? Regards
-
Ha! Here near Rennes, I have a 30m Douglas with a dbh of 130cm to take down with a lovely straight stem as well as a large Macro-carpa. I can't even give the stuff away! The Brits are to lazy and the French only burn hardwood. And me...I live in an all electric flat! hhhh! If you rake up you can have it for free friends...
-
Back to the O.P question... I am often asked if I will cut down trees for the wood. Answer is normally a resounding NO! If you've got the savoir faire to undertake the project yourself right down to splitting it then surely there is a few quid to be made selling it to locals. If you want a pro arb to do it for you AND pay you for the privilage then I'm sure your onto a loser in this case. Regards

<p>Chap, arn't you stateside?</p>
<p> May be your elm is indeed pants for burning, different species.</p>
<p>That Skyhuck fella is sure an annoying git and shoudn't be a mod either.</p>
<p>I get **** all the time for my views but really, it's just a forum.</p>
<p>I may be a **** to some but to others I'm alright. </p>
<p>Can;t please every-one all the time!</p>
<p>Stay, the water is warm!</p>

Here: GARDENER?FORESTER: AngloINFO Pays-de-la-Loire Could be good...BUT! Be aware of any job offers where your salary is paid undeclared into a U.K account leaving you to transfer it to France. Being a resident you should be being paid in euros into a French account and your employer paying their stamps so you are covered by French health system and also being credited towards your pension which is transferable back to the U.K so no lost years. Best of luck!
