    You'll need to put your argument forward with more than a one word response with emoji...

    People want to keep the shade and some ambience which isn't given by a wee stick of a tree. Even a poorly pruned tree has more amenity value than a newly planted one when in leaf. Besides, poor pruning with it's rip cuts, rot pockets and a dense crown are great urban habitats for wildlife. I'm not arguing the case for poor pruning practices but maybe it has it's upsides.

    TBH, many of the birches I get to work on are on the limit of property and subject to French laws on height and distance. Often require a silly prune to appease a neighbour taking umbridge over seeds, leaves or shade. I've done terrible things to birches at the customers request but only where my fellow brothers in arb can't spot it from the road. A terrible prune versus removal. Well, at least retaining with a recipe for rot pockets give someone future work...

    I keep a typical birch rot pocket in the car to show clients who desire a 'fifty-percenter' Stuart

    Strange times. I've barely 3 weeks worth accepted which equates to 12 full days as I only work 4 day weeks. Only 4 days for my subby climber too. Nothing tasty is coming home, just hedges and small tree nibbling. So quiet that I'm taking the whole 2 weeks of half term off to visit the UK and spend time with my kids here. I have no idea why it should be like this. Since September I've done several quotes of value, €8k and three around €5k Maybe there is a new kid on the block hoovering up work by filling his new work diary with underpriced quotes... Maybe I've lost my touch estimating. Maybe my client base is worried about this Winter, the economy and politics...

    You are 'celebrated' in a recent post on Tradegie des Arbres... FB keeps asking me to celebrate members so I do...

    This is me calling @Jase hutch Greenmech Service for answers.

    I'll look at my own devis (quotes) and try compiling a list of terms to do with pruning and felling. @5thelement might chip in.

    I know Aspen is lighter than water. This isn't the issue. I had a batch which when poured into my fuel can was consistently 500ml light. I approached my supplier who took my complaint to Aspen who replied that the containers must have been stored incorrectly. They revealed the fuel could evaporate through the container walls. Well 500ml is alot to lose, €2.50 per container. So I weighed one of the batch then reweighed it after the Summers heat having stored it in my garage mezzanine. This was to see the weight loss over a given time. I will weigh it again over the Winter and again before I open it 12 months after I first weighed it and measure the loss.

    @Jase hutch are you permitted to disclose the Efi fault diagnosed on Shaunpauls machine? Come on man, it isn't a Pratt and Whitney R-4360 or a Napier Sabre... Got to be a dodgy series of parts or something of nothing.

    I noticed a batch of Aspen was light by around 500ml Dealer told me the containers are porous and a loss was to be expected. I looked at the packing date. Contacted Aspen for the statistics showing expected loss through the container wall. I suspect they sell Aspen at short measure then use the porosity and storage by clients as an excuse to cover up their fraud.

    Not my theory Jase but one punted above by the dealer of paddyvero. I could see through this lie but wanted a response. Chipper dealers, more spin than a Conservative party dealing with a threesome sex scandal.

    Here: Haro! Haro! Clameur raised in Trinity branchage row | Bailiwick Express Jersey WWW.BAILIWICKEXPRESS.COM A mechanical hedge-cutter was, quite literally, stopped in its tracks when a Trinity parishioner invoked a 1,000-year-old procedure that halted work immediately.

    Mine had its high pressure fuel pump changed twice which cured the hot starting issues. This video is a very different problem as it started fine. How could a bad earth provoke these symptoms and can this be demonstrated by creating a bad earth to prove it? @Jase hutch

    Still hoping a British climber marries a French tart then moves within easy commiting distance of Rennes.

    Same engine? Similar symptoms?

    I advertised for someone to do this for my clients either with own machine or using mine. No takers. So now I lend my clients my own machine and let them get in with it. It's what the French call a 'geste commercial' or commercial gesture, deal sweetener, quite popular too. It's an E.U homoglated machine similar to a Rock 22t Not actually road tow but locally I get away with doing so.

    I'll not sleep properly until Jase tells us. I told you all I was scarred by the whole Efi episode, well I actually had a nightmare this week. I dreamed I was on a job in town and the Evo suddenly went haywire. When I opened the bonnet up, inside was a Vanguard Efi. I was terrified! Then people from my memories, dealers, mechanics, clients, other arb guys, friends, Greenmech haters kept coming up to me laughing and pointing. I was naked but for a T'shirt and a pair of boots.
  20. Ty Korrigan
    I transpires, all these Efi running issues are down to a batch of faulty bonnet catch sensors right?
  21. Ty Korrigan
    Whatapp him!
  22. Ty Korrigan
    Well? Friday tomorrow. This isn't France you know...
  23. Ty Korrigan
    Wake him up!

    ECU changed and the machine runs as it should or not as of tonight? So pointing a finger at the problem, what would you say it was?
  25. Ty Korrigan
    What about changing the ECU? That was the only part not changed with mine. Any number of software updates changed nothing. It was clearly goosed.
