  3. Have something similar with golden conifer , itches like mad but cleared by morning. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

  5. Always come across as enthusiastic to do the extras and say it's no problem at all ill get it sorted for them , then add ow befor I start that do you require it itemising separately on the invoice or a separate invoice for the extra work all the while smiling, normally gets the point across.

  6. That's part 1 that was produced quite awhile ago, where is part 2? Always liked tailors videos for being so informative with techniques that can cross over into different climbing stiles. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  7. Bet he carnt snore as loud as his grandad! Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  8. Will this count? Perfect hight for me as can't cope with kneeling down any more to sharpen saws sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  9. Not a bad price for this stuff, might be interested in some 6 or 9mm stuff as ground protection sheets if these wet winters continue. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  10. Around the 4 - 4.5 ton lump of chestnut. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  11. I'd be up for that as well Clive sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  12. Think we have made the biggest change to it but hopefully it means it can remain part of the landscape and promote some replanting. Thanks for the use of the valtra, made shifting the 10 - 15 ton of timber a lot easier, don't think the job would have been feasible if we'd had to carve it all up into manhandled bits and cart it off in trailers. Hope you have room for all that timber in your yard, shame most of it is too full of cracks, shake and decay to be milled but will make some nice smelling logs. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  13. Always like the look of ash trees that have outlived the hedge they were once part off, gives them an entish quality. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  14. Hope this makes sence the way I write it. It's better to over price a job and not get it than underprice a job where you actually loos money, be stressed, rush, take shortcuts to save time, make a mistake, get hurt or hurt someone ells, and end up not being able to work for longer. When you do mess up a price, and you will, we all do, just carry on like you haven't and hope a good job priced comes from someone seeing you. As outhers have said know what you need to charge then work out what you want to charge and the right price is normally in the middle. Best of luck with going it alone, it's hard work but worth it!

  15. Your welcome Paul it's always nice to work with people who share the enthusiasm for the job. You certainly have a knack for getting good pictures Before the chestnut was stripped it had far too much wate back over the buildings to be felled even with the help of the mighty rb44. Quoting my kiwi friend "give a lazy man a hard job and he will find a easy way to do it!" mine is hydraulic power ;-) sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  16. Stood on the top sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  17. He's pushing the zzzzzzz's in the sun sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  18. Had to be a quick crash down to make the most of the platform as was only available for 1 day over easter school holidays and job has to be finished before the little critters come back. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
  19. That's the one, single needle reduction of ancient trees,aka johny quick styli... Excellent picture of that big lump in mid air! Hope you had your wheetabix (outer cereal brands available) this morning too tidy up the little mes I might have made...... Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  20. Cheaper by quite a bit, in my opinion chip better and smoother but chip quality is lower with lots more chunky bits amongst it. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  21. Had a cracking day today good job, good equipment and top quality staff just makes everything work ! Had silky on the ropes gently floating half ton lumps of chestnut ground-wards, matty chipping like a trooper and Paul from pwm platforms just putting me where I needed to be hardly without any communication needed, how it should be! It's a lovely disco that 1, I think it's a 8speed auto box in it so drags that 3.4 ton lump around effortlessly . Get some photos of the cadre 'reduction' up Paul or are you saving them for tomorrow? Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  22. Satternblades might be only be half the price but I've found that you probably only get half the life that genuine blades get as they are of a harder mettle so chip quite badly rather than becoming dull for easy re sharpening. Had two sets in my quadchip and now just stick to the genuine things and considering the price of them against the fact you affect ivy get 3 turns before replacing in my mind it's good value. The biggest saving I've made in blades is good groundsman education i.e. Stop raking up a gravel drive and using the chipper to load it onto the van, give conifer a bit of a shake before putting it in after a long drag so any nasty picked up on the way fall off etc. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  23. Got her pulling up too full speck then Jon,nice 1 . Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  24. 24m tracked MEWP booked for Thursday, plenty of hands so mostly standing about holding lowering lines or a bit of quadchip feeding for you. Hopefully it'll be dryer than last time I was on this site and sunk the rb on the football pitch, oops! Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
  25. I want my trolley!!!!!!!!! it should be here by now but it's not! Got so many jobs that it will hopefully make a lot less back braking shifting logs and brash about. Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk
