  1. Stick a parasol on the grinder and quit wingeing!
  2. And my old work brought stevies Nice finishing touches and towed very well when laden and fast
  3. Nice Tim, enjoyed the smoothness of the rigging. One question though, why carefully rig down the wood, then spear cut the last top into the ground?
  4. Would the cost of a decent unimog not still be more than driver training, o licence, and a grab lorry? A grab lorry would then give you the option of transtorting timber too?
  5. No, go for pfanner or miendl for similar money
  6. My name throughout the video is because of past videos being uploaded by another user and being used on their website to promote their company without my permission, lodged a complaint with YouTube copyright and the videos were removed:thumbup: Will be back staying in Suffolk end of August, the odd day out/night in Cambridge too id expect
  7. You could be a sub contract groundsman easily, ring HMRC to register self employed, ring insurance company's and ask their advise. ring company's in your area to get work. Some may expect to meet on site, some at the yard. If you're expected on site, you're own presentable vehicle, if at the yard you could public transport/walk it Basic PPE, waterproofs, groundsaw of around 50cc, spare chains, bar, files, maybe fuel Desirable extras would possibly be heavy trailer license
  8. Yep, DED, id guess i fell 30 DED trees a year. although theres still many big and old ones still thriving. You may remember a year or 2 ago, i assisted 4 or 5 being felled with a big hiab with grab and saw, these trees are in the same row (but under different ownership) theres another of simmilar size, 200m away enclosed in old wooden buildings with the top showing signs of DED. I dont think DED here is quite as aggressive as in the UK, more slow and steady, one tree can have it, a tree 20m away can be totally unaffected
  9. If your coporate policy is that anal and unchangeable about type c's, perhaps non chainsaw work should be undertaken if theres a risk of heat stroke ect. dissolve some 'Resorb' pills into lunchtime drinks bottles to restock your body with salts and minerals, plain waters not enough. also great hangover cure!
  10. Cheers, tub grinder then off for biomass power matty
  11. 2 Elm fells from a while back, no music sorry [ame=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6AfmxWeKa5k]norrtalje elms - YouTube[/ame] Need to cut it down a little as I get bored watching!
  12. Are you driving round with just one side on then Looking good though
  13. Nice shape! Touch hard, but well done Sweden?
  14. Sounds like a fair price for sustaining a healthy business to me
  15. Not really Reduction tends to be in size, and a specific measurement given as to how much to take off, normally incorporates a prune as a matte of course Prune, basic prune IMO is dead, crossing, epicormics, Stubbs, leaving the shape untouched, unless something like lamp house ect is too close, or there's a daft looking sticky outy bit. Then there's safety pruning, formative pruning etc Thin, reduction in volume, allows more light to filter through, shape untouched. Not lions tailing mind Trim, hedges are trimmed
  16. The one i tried was around 225kg lift, think the biggest will lift 350, smallest a poxy 100.
  17. Fixed that for you mate, 3years since you started talking about it and 2since you had that metal off me! Maybe I should move back to spur you two on
