    What is the typical price difference between machines with the 50hp deezle and 57hp petrol? Stuart
  2. Ty Korrigan
    Hello, from experience the 37hp Efi is 4.5 litres per hour so pro-rata a 57hp Efi should be around 7 litres per hour. Stuart

    When I come across a large leylandii removal, when possible, I often save as much wood as possible for chipping separately as the disc blades make lovely square golden chip which I can sell for a premium. The green chip goes for cattle bedding at a local farm. We produced 562m3 last year according to my wee black book. Over half is kept mostly by clients or their neighbours whilst the leafy or conifer is tipped at the farm and the better chip given to the 2 local councils who we work for. Stuart

    I dislike exposure these days. Not doing sufficient larger trees myself to remain 'en form' So when it came to a mongrel bastard multi-stem Douglas I tackled in gusty condutions, it took me an age to take out the last skinny top, lowered on a 70kg rated rigging wrench. Barely enough room to bring my spikes together, Client, neighbours, school kids, fat groundy watching with Mrs Lee on the ropes end, me hoping she would let it run sufficiently not to enduce that rat in terrier jaws shaking moment. All pegs carefully shaved so no chance of impalement. I cut the gob and back cut by Silky, lacking the minerals to handle the wee Echo. It all went swimmingly, no stem shake and I didn't gaff out but I confess that topping out skinny stems is not my favourite aspect of climbing. Stuart

    £1500 to hack that yew mind... Perhaps a grand+ in Hewitts flush fund and the rest to a fellow he met down the pub? Stuart

    Mangled Yew tree image at the bottom of the article: Princess Di's former lover James Hewitt is working as a £4,000-a-year gardener | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Ex-Calvary Officer Mr Hewitt, now 62, was seen this week dressed in khaki trousers, a smart mauve shirt and flat cap as he sat atop a lawnmower as he tended gardens near Exeter...

    Finished the 28 plane pollards now the ground has dried out. Punishing for the old sciatica bob bobbing for skinny sticks all day. Climber would prefer half rather than full days but after he had his afternoon line of coke he was buzzing and those whippy sticks rained down.

    And don't post any images on social media. Stuart

    What we need, is some-one to have a go, sacrifice their machine and report back yay or nay... ay...? Stuart

    I demoed a 26hp diesel last Summer. It was a fine machine in every respect except when chipping to the limit. Up to 4" I detected no difference. Best I can describe it is... My Renault has a button 'Eco' Turns it from a Kangoo into a Kanbarelygo. I didn't find this button for months despite it being me near the gear stick. Fine for daily driving but when you want to join the auto route...meh. If the engine can be de-tuned then great. This engine was a genuine 26hp though. Stuart

    Trust me, Google it, others have my back here I'm sure. I dare not post a link myself as I still have warning points given by you going back 10years and do not wish to be banned. Otherwise your advice is sound and I respect it. Stuart

    What increase in your own renumeration would you reasonably expect for this expansion? Stuart
  20. Ty Korrigan
    What is the projected net profit likely to be for the extra investment and is it sufficient to offset the extra stress? Best of luck. Stuart

    Not U.K but I've just waited months for my client, a local council, to obtain permission from Batiment de France (which is like English Heritage) to remove a Douglas growing with a few metres of a church. I was in on one of the discussions and am glad I do not deal with these people on a regular basis. Maintenance of plantations is allowed but removal of plantations likely to impact on the heritage or character of the building or it's surroundings requires permission. In fact, here, technically, any tree removal within 500m of a church requires permission but I've only ever had a handfull of clients who bothered and all were accepted. Stuart

    I've seen that style of chute on the TP175, very usefull feature. My 150p has a folding chute (as they all do) which attaches to a simple bracket fixed to the A frame. Mine is kept in a warm garage. Stuart

    Is burning not possible? I'd rather fist fight a prickly pear in my underpants than feed English thorn to a Chinese chippette. Stuart
  24. Ty Korrigan
    I'll give it some thought. There is security to be disabled and that gimpy bar to be dealt with. Stuart

    Generic Chinesium but effective. If I split more I'd certainly buy a better quality machine which was more comfortable to use. 22t road tow to 72kph, Briggs engine for a little over a grand plus vat in your post brexit folding type monies. Stuart
