    I am occasionally contacted by other French arborists asking how they might buy kit from the U.K This week, it was 2 used chippers from a guy near Bordeaux who stands to save 12k or more over French used prices for the price of a few days jolly, ferry and hotel. I help with bookings, translation and advice and am available on line or phone if required. No fee, just for the 'bonne volonté' Stuart

    How much are you a day normally? I take it you didn't climb but cut from the tractor nacelle? Stuart

    Are you working for a British client? Also, are you fairly new to tree work or self employment? Stuart

    This is a common sight in France, to see older chippers pre 2012 type conformity rolling on ungainly looking trailer chassis. Stuart

    Hello, just a thought. Here in France we prune our stone fruits right after fruiting. If you prune now, surely you will lose the bulk of your flower buds? Regards Stuart

    I'm a little bit mad right and keep records of chip produced in a wee black book. I established a while back that your average domestic conifer hedge when measured for it's standing volume, chips down 8-10 fold. So 8m3 of standing hedge becomes 1m3 of chip. Stuart

    He keeps accurate mental records as he was feeding Gloria and counted each miserable one as they went through her. When feeding a CS100 you remember each branch that thwacked your chops, smacked you fingers or just wouldn't, wouldn't go through. Stuart

    We'd be interested in images of almond trees being pruned. Before and after images. Is it a pro fruit tree specialist doing the work? Pruning for fructification is an art. 99.9% of tree surgeons cannot prune a fruit tree correctly. They either make it nice and round so the client thinks it looks pretty or take off so many branches it reacts with a profusion of vertical fruitless shoots. Stuart

    Ah... Got it Greenmech have decided to make a 'reliable' chipper! Stuart?

    Ah, that is a shame. Always very sad when businesses fold. Emotionally, I'm over my own 'liquidation' as the French call it. It was a vile period to live through. Never known such anxiety and mental pain. However, it is all in the past and I even got a risible payout at the end of it all once the land and building, trucks and chippers etc had all been sold off. Locals still refer to me as 'Le Jardinier Anglais' and I don't see 'Le Perfidious French Git' around at all and I've lost the desire to 'liquidate' him too... Stuart

    Gasification engined chipper. Powered by what it chips straight into a wee furnace. PeteB told me about 11:30 last night. Mind you, he was with the drink again... Stuart
  18. Ty Korrigan
    I might be mistaken. Have they gone into liquidation? Stuart
  19. Ty Korrigan
    Or hardnosed women in bars. Stuart

    Will he do it for the wood...? Stuart

    I was wondering about a hand ascender. What think members if this parish? Stuart

    Hello, I have an Ifor tipper stored on a local farm. Considering a solar trickle charger suitable for outside use. One I can hang on the trailer. Does anyone have experience of these? Stuart
