  1. Shouldn't you change your screen name to eddiehusky now then?[emoji3] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  2. Probably used this then: http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  3. Complete rest is the answer to give the tendons a chance to heal. I used to get tennis elbow a lot when I was younger and the main cause was doing council street tree pruning with handsaws. When I stopped doing council contracts the elbow got better. Have a look at what you do that aggravates.it the most and change if you can. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  4. Heard that another tree surgeon got turned over last night in Chobham area.[emoji35] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  5. Agree, definitely Elder. And yes they will grow back. At that size they don't have much of a root system so pull them out. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  6. Since I got the grab lorry back in the summer, I've ended up with this lot: http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  7. It'll die completely if I keep my finger on the trigger. If I let go, it'll go back to idle quite happily. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  8. That's a bit close to home! Sorry to here that Richard. If I can help in any way, let me know. Al. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  9. I've got an Echo PAS265ES and it starts and ticksover fine, but when I pull the trigger it dies. It will rev up slightly if I feather the throttle gently, but not when needed to work. Stripped the carb but couldn't see anything untowards. Any ideas, it's only about 18 months old. Cheers Al Tree Surgeon - Woking | Cormack Tree Care Ltd
  10. Polytunnel and ibc cages is the way I'm going. The yard I have the use of now has an old full size polytunnel frame. Just needs the polythene re-doing. 52 cages turning up on Tuesday [emoji106] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  11. On the chip in the back of the truck of course! Usually in the corner. [emoji35] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  12. Or this? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/401089546217?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368&_mwBanner=1 http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  13. Gross weight of truck. As wendlespanswick said 10t would do the job just as well. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  14. I'll try it sometime Peter, but a jack would be easier I think. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  15. Hi Bob I have an airline set up for the 7.5t which is very handy. I'll look for a suitable valve on the 18t. I was looking at a 20t pneumatic jack with a manual option as well. Cheers. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  16. I need to buy a jack to lift the lorry up and assume a bottle jack is the way to go, probably a 20t one. Any recommendations for a make, or are they all much the same? Cheers Al. Tree Surgeon - Woking | Cormack Tree Care Ltd
  17. With the timber body on about 9t. The hiab and hook loader system takes out some of the payload. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  18. Amazing prices on chains. Got my order in. Thanks Justin.[emoji106] http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  19. Had a closer look at this and found a square cover on the front side of the diff. Took it off, undoing 4 x 10mm bolts. Plunger under the cover was free, and air was coming from the hole in the cover, so not sure what's up. Putting the cover back on, I couldn't get it to sit back on flat, something seemed to be stopping it, but couldn't see anything. Any ideas? Al. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  20. Cam you let me know the contact details please Bob? Got a roadside hedge to flail in East Clandon, about half a says work. Cheers...Al http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  21. Let the home owner do the TPO application, and do the conifers first whilst waiting the 8 weeks for permission. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
  22. DD Hire in Blackwater hire out stump grinders. http://www.cormacktreecare.co.uk
