  1. Have to say we were usinng 260s got a 346xp 18" and the xpg 15" needless to say the 260s seldom get used ,it is like comparing a ford cortina and a golf gti
  2. Surley the buzz of doing a big tree is seeing a team working in harmony,if your ground crew arent returning rigging ropes ,keeping your rope free ,ground clear, listening to your saw and holding the fuel can before you ask ,getting next size saw ready ensuring it is sharp ,if this is not the case you are going to have a bad day which in winter can easily turn into two which usually will affect margins dramaticly.
  3. Not unusual, have a job to do soon a large windblow sweetchestnut and the client seemed surprised we want to winch the root plate back into place.
  4. Whilst talking about customer service I ordered a climbing saw from my local saw shop and it was a weak before I had chance to pick it up or check it was in by this time they were closed untill Jan ,I left a message on the answerphone as I am not stopping too much over the holiday period and needed the saw. The proprieter who is not even in the country rang the next day to say the saw will be delivered to another shop in the town for my collection, I do not have an account but am a regular customer . This is what I call service and worth customer loyalty
  5. Try Bryn at Westend Tree Services in Yeovil they do a fair bit of that sort of thing and pretty well too ,they must only be down the 303

  7. I have two good size sticks also in my yard,asked the local hardwod timber yard but they never got back , the crown timber made bloody good firewood if not a pain to split, will be interested to see how you get on

Hello there new to this but just had to add, have just got an old bedford with a crane on which was parked in the woods two years ago we checked oil water bit of fuel still in the tank two new batterys and it fired up like it was parked up five minutes previously ,some of the linkages for the throttle and transmision brake had seized but a bit of wd40 and its all good brakes are a bit spongy but nothing too hard to sort out I am sure.
