  1. Finishing time arrived so down tools and go, obviously! [emoji12]
  2. Just come back fully on android app for me.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. No link showing in the app again Steve.
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. 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?
  10. Little bit different today, reclaim the public footpath from nature, simple cut back overhanging thorns then run along with digger and scrap back 2ft of soil covering the tarmac and grade back the verge, felt strange using a digger with a bucket and not a grab on it.
  11. Try these guys https://www.brianrobinson.co.uk/ I'm quite lucky to have a main dealer who I feel is still sensible on price very close to me. Hope you get sorted without hurting the bank account too much.
  12. Had a few pairs of altbergh boots with army style high ankle support which suits me having a damaged left ankle and knee from injury and surgery so the support stops me falling over as much, very light, waterproof and outlasts the scarper synthetic boots I wear a lot less. Latest pair were made for me but advantage is the factory is 10min from my yard [emoji106]
  13. Try looking up bray brother's I think I've spotted the trucks around that area when I've been visiting outlaws or a do believe 5shires on here is in that area although not seen him for a while. Best of luck getting sorted.
  14. Firstly sorry Katie for posting another training centres detailed but I don't feel too bad as it's quite a distance apart. https://www.arbfortraining.com/
  15. Might be worth speaking to arbfor training near layburn if your wanting some training up here.
  16. Any stubby working for me is expected to bring his ppe in good clean condition, food and water for day and a good attitude and that's it, my job my gear. Climber is different as I'd expect them to use own climbing gear but toppers and rigging is again my stuff
  17. That's either clever career progression or professional suicide! 🤔
  18. Ha ha hadn't seen that tag with the app Didn't charge, felled the correct tree and bought them a lovely new tree to go in a better place, still do work for them every year 8 years on but am never allowed to forget that 1st job.
  19. Complimented a female client we were working for and ended up marrying her.... Felled a big maple in the front garden of a house that turned out to have two entrances and we were actually in the back garden. Trusted a gobby new lad to actually know what he was on about while rigging a tree over a clutter garden, when I instructed him to rap the rigging line that I'd tied to a large limb over the greenhouse and as I watched the limb cut said greenhouse in two reality struck that he'd wrapped my 11mm climbing line around the bollard not the 16mm lowering rope.
  20. Might be worth adding where you are currently and if you want p a y e or stubby work.
  21. Cheap biological washing powder pored on and dampen with boiling water and work the paste into the stone with a brush then wash of with boiling water or better a steam cleaner. Best I've found yet anyway.
