  1. Now this is a stump grinder!! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Just because.... Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Don't be daft, I have willing staff for that 😉 Actually had a good bit of live sound timber at the back against the wall but couldn't drop it that way because of other trees. Got 7 to do, all of similar size and consistency which is nicely running in the new 880. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. Yip And a big 1 at that! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. Not a lot to make a hinge but it went over all the same, thankfully in the correct direction. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. No help sorry nick but we haven't had the same with our apprentice. Boots we found hard but gustharts found some chainsaw boots to fit eventually, I do believe Stine do some very small hi viz stuff as got 1 for my daughter which is still a little larger but she is only 9. Strimer harness you might have to modify something yourself as I don't think you will have much joy finding anything smaller than what you have. Might be worth a look on here https://m.engelbert-strauss.co.uk/ As I seem to remember they did lady's work clothing. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Very true I guess, just 1 of life's little annoyance's this is about the only reason I still do logs as that always gives us something to drop onto should anything stop a team going out. Actually had a client demand compensation for us not going to do his job on the scheduled day even though it was 1 of the stormiest days that year and we were run off our feet trying to clear road's and it just wouldn't have been safe to top his £150 back garden conifer in those conditions, think we ended up giving him some mulch for his garden just to shut him up in the end.

  8. The two you mention just have to be taken on the chin it's when clients want to postpone at 8pm the night before or even on the morning you have booked with them that annoys me especially when they have been chasing since the day you looked at it. The 1 that nearly cost me a lump was when a powerline shutdown was cancelled at 3pm the day before and I had extra lads and gear booked to get job done on time, no explanation just it'll be another 3 months till we can re-book it which is annoying since I'd already had 6man days on job so got to stand it till we can finish job.

    My new dog.

    My big daft lump of a retriever, not the cleverest but very loving, she loves coming to work and having a ride out with the lads. If she isn't with me I get greeted as soon as I get home, how do they know Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Definitely achieved the statutory clearance with that lift! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Lovely rustic design, get plenty of oil on it and it'll last you years Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. 10"pops 8"birch and ash regen not exactly prime nesting habitat! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Just had a client stand us down on starting a job next week as he had been told it is illegal to cut down any trees before September by the planning office due to potential nesting birds, this came as part of the letter back saying no objections from a conservation area application but...... as above. I was under the impression that it was only a problem if birds were actually nesting in those trees and not a blanket no trees must be cut at all... Opinions welcome but I'm off to look up the wildlife and countryside act... Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. I know and if I can't get hold of something this week I might have to man up the the +4hr round trip to come get it for 2 weeks Was ment to be getting a heizohack hm 6 300 last week but been told won't be ready now till September and am booked to start a big job Monday with it ahhhhhhh!

  16. Mog owners version of a caravan by the looks of it.... Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Few more Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. 👍 enjoyed that, thanks for sharing. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Would 1 of your winch kits fit onto this mill rob as fancy doing a bit of milling again now we have a decent yard to work and store in again, and I only kept the mini mill and small log mill from when I was doing a lot more 6 - 7 years ago. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. About that. Think I might send the 2nd to you at some point for that little modification 😉 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. No it hasn't been raised publicly as was promised it'd be sorted but that was start of year but then chased several times then talked at length at the show and was promised swift action but unfortunately it looks like it'll be back to phone calls every week. Always irritating as it's such a fantastic productive profitable machine to own. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. That's why I just got another 372xp as it's going to be a hard act to follow. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. Glad you got sorted quickly some things they seem to react fantastically too, shame I'm still expecting a call back to sort out problems I talked at length to them about at the arb show. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Few from recent Sycamore assisted dismantle Getting chased around by this beast dropping some oversized spruce Building the falcon for town parade Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. I'd try getting on to your banks fraud department especially if they said it looked ok and see if anything can be done about drawing the funds back or claiming off the bank it was transferred to as affectivly they have also committed a crime allowing someone to open an account in a I presume false name and use it for the purposes of fraud.
