Where in Yorkshire are you ollie? Nothing that can't be fixed fairly easily or lived with by the sounds of it. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Good little chippers, had 1 in the late 90s and it did some graft for me. How much you looking for for her as know a small estate that are after a little machine for around the gardens for bits of pruning they do themselves. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

I want to know more. Please explain how it all works as just when I thought I'd worked it out I doubted myself again. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Better give them a call and book me a slot to get it done as they could be quite busy! Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Well that's half the decent stands not going then, wife might be happy as I normally spend around 1.5 - 2k between the two at the show on bit of kit and clothing for myself and the lads. Was hoping to get a r nearly new rope respliced after it got spiked badly 3m from the end by honeys as well. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Sounds like you do need to replace anvil plates as they are probably curved over so letting the blades tare material past instead of getting a clean cut. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

Nope you pull 1 arm to make it go left and other to make it go right. 😉 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

What Ian said, hydraulic drive to the wheels which stay still when grinding and everything else pivots above, still a decent work out on a bigger stump but a very efficient machine used correctly. Hardest part is pulling it back over when the head drops too low and you loose the balance point especially if your slight like this lass.

Fine as long as they are a student on work based experience from a collage and I provided a young persons working risk assessment. 16 was a no, 17 ok as long as associated with a collage, 18 fine as a apprentice. What difference it really makes I don't know as I've met 19 year olds I wouldn't trust to have a go at feeding a chipper and 16 year olds I'd trust to fell a tree in a tight garden.

Didn't someone on here find what are basically gray pfanner gloves without the name tag at a much better price? The red 1ns are about the best I've used and the thicker cold weather 1ns are brilliant when I'm in the mewp over winter as can get cold quite in the bucket, got petzl leather gloves in the rigging bag for lads on ground to pull on nd help avoid rope burn or wearing out softer gloves when running the roped and cheep black assembly gloves for general stuff.

Don't think you'll regret that decision! Especially having a smaller machine when you don't need to drag a beastly machine around Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

How did you get on with the 200 Ian, on paper looks like it should be good....... but in real life??? Think I'm going to hold on to the st8 for now but take some of the strain off it on bigger jobs by getting a large pto machine. Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

What do you guys pay apprentices Got 1 starting next week working towards the required 300hrs work based aspect of a level 3 arb course. Do you consider the experience and some real world training pay enough, put them on books at a student rate whatever that is, min wage, or buy them bits of kit to keep as they earn them.

Think it's about 10years too late if I'm perfectly honest! Awkward one as ground conditions didn't really allow for us to get in till now as that whole end of the arboretum is very wet so I think that had some bairing on timing as did the council dragging heals on permissioning the works wanting far end of a fart details I got the impression.
