  1. I hate the fact people set it as a deadline to get stuff done. It's a 70year old tree ffs another week isn't going to make any difference, had someone ask me last week if I would get conservation area permission quicker as it's nearly Christmas and having the tree gone before would look so much nicer for family coming over...... No!
  2. I hate doing reductions and even more so if it's a target rich environment like that, well done.
  3. Not quite the same but had a client contact me about a storm damaged tree wanting to know if we could do anything with it, remove it was my answer quote excepted Got council permission as it had tpo and put in a request for a powerline shutdown as has a lv line to the house under the canopie at the back to be told today the powerline contractor is going to do it for the client for free so loosing me a decent days work. Good for the client, bad for us.
  4. This band has found its way into my office playlist recently
  5. Over 20 years old and still earning a crust, cracking old truck. The crane will be worth more than the truck. Would be useful on some roadside trees I have to do soon, just lift big section down and deal with them on the floor.
  6. Lovely looking chip Can't see the high viz in the hopper lasting long once whole trees start disappearing into it.
  7. A few that look very suss! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142606538022 Bandit has been for sale by quite a few different sellers and even for a st6 this is too cheap and pictures are from a redwood listing https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142606537974 , lots of other stuff listed at bargain prices.
  8. Almost had this, now I'm simply checking as part of a vti report I'm doing at the address 🤔[emoji6]
  9. Just 1, wow!
  10. Yeh thanks for that, my kids are now running round the house singing that, ahhhhh
  11. Zt out grinding with some nice architecture to look at and a sycamore with some serious structural issues.
  12. Pathetic more like it.
  13. Think that's bad, how about a competitive company of ours having tpo's put on 3 trees they also priced to remove but didn't get the job to do, managed to get two lifted but 3rd tree is still standing.
  14. Yes, only happened since it was down for a bit and now still, 1st thought was it had forgotten what I'd posted in but since then it hasn't added for instance this thread as being taken part in.
  15. Only thing is that I have noticed is on the app I no longer have Partisapated threads and it just comes up empty.
  16. Finishing time arrived so down tools and go, obviously! [emoji12]
  17. Just come back fully on android app for me.
  18. I like the drawing of the artist drawing a tree Sean, interesting project and I hope someone makes sense of what's going on with these trees before its to late, don't know much about the politics of it all but all seems a bit ott.
  19. I know it's a battle but the state of some of the cans I've seen people use over the years are just amazing, thing I find most annoying is getting people to clean the dust and chip off the top of cans before poring it into the tank along with the fuel!
  20. Any deals on the bio oil?
  21. No link showing in the app again Steve.
  22. They obviously didn't give you the no photos on social media speech I got. Going to be a little cracker when it's out
  23. If you can call in a plant hire place and see if they have any double size in line filters often fitted to hire machines to last longer from risk of filling from mucky cans
  24. Don't know how much the multione is but our grafter handles a 2.7ton bandit no problem even with a decent load of chip in, don't get me wrong you know it's there but copes no problem.
  25. As Mike says check filters but also check all injector pipes are tight as could be getting air in so allowing fuel to flow back. Has yours got the electric fuel pump upgrade to bring fuel from the tank to the filter rather than the engine being cranked having to pull it through?
