Not really, it just needs the stump poisoning.

Your neighbours are clearly dickheads. You are correct - that is now a tree and will continue to grow from the original root system unless cut down (and/or poisoned).

I reckon if you caught one and gave it nothing to eat or drink other than Ozzy Osbourne’s piss you’d also succeed.

I’ve got a Cabstar that I’ve had to force a regen on a couple of times. I drive it in second gear on the Rev limiter for 15 mins (keep it pinned and use the clutch at roundabouts etc). Has worked for me (but I did finish a clutch off once….)

I think it’s usually priced in weight of fleeces in Wales.

Poison the suckers and/or the stump with glyphosate (roundup) and all of your problems will go away.

If you passed high school biology I’d hope you would know that roots grow underground. How do you know they are still growing? Are you a mole?

Not sure, haven’t opened it up for a look yet. Will report back with more pics when I get 5 mins.

This one was running fine, can’t have done more than 20hrs work from new. No funny noises/jamming/struggling to pick up revs etc. Just blew apart whilst cutting - weird!

Hello all - has anyone had issues with Husky electric longreach hedgecutter gearboxes blowing up? We’ve had one fail today that hasn’t done much work at all - it’s broken the housing and looks like a very expensive fix. Just wondering if anyone had experienced similar?

Do the trees belong to the house or the developer?

Looks like a present-day arb team to me!

They’ve also done it with VAT in construction now too - stops firms going bust at the end of a big project after having all their invoices including the vat paid to them and obviously not then paying it to the gov.

This is the Ozzy way I believe - people who illegally fell trees to gain a view around Sydney harbour are punished by the local authority erecting massive billboards blocking said view and proclaiming the dirty deed. Fantastic!

Hard to get an idea of scale - this red oak was 90 feet tall. When it failed our customer’s gardeners were present - they’d been working in the quarry garden below 20 mins before (!). They heard a cracking noise and then half the tree tore out and fell into where they had been cleaning out a pond…

Just pay for the glyphosate/ampa test as this is the most likely chemical used for poisoning if you wish to go down that route (glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup). I can’t suggest any other firms who could test for a comparison price though I’m afraid (for once I don’t actually think Bartlett’s price is too strong in reality).

Turns out they went over my lad’s footy training at 19.17 (on schedule) in Crewe - must have crashed before they reached you @eggsarascal?!…

Yes, sorry, me and the chaps stopped off for a nice bit of scran at a private airfield outside Malpas. Bit too squiffy to fly now old bean!

I’ve got a late old-shape Defender and was mail-shotted to have a ‘Post-covid oil change and vehicle check’ by the local main dealer for a reasonable price (!!!). They are constantly asking if I want to sell it back to them (as they are clearly in fashion at the moment). Wanting another dealer stamp in the service book (which doesn’t exist any more, it’s all on their online Topix system but I’m old-school so bought a book when it had its first service) I booked it in and also asked them to MOT it at the same time. Saturday morning comes around, I turn up in what is more like an airport than a garage - floor to ceiling (3 stories high!) glass separating the showroom/first-class-lounge-waiting-room from the massive undercover drop-off-pick-up handover area and in turn from the immaculate workshop. It took all morning and I could see them working on my car on two separate ramps through the glazed-both-sides parking area. Two things really stuck with me throughout the ‘experience’. Firstly, an incredible number of Freelanders/Discovery Sports passed through the handover ‘palace’. I’m not sure if they were all being serviced or were being collected by buyers but more than 20 cars (and maybe more than 30) went across my vision whilst I drank 17 tasty lattes from their machine in 3 or so hours. Secondly, the showroom (half Jaguar, half Land Rover) adjoined the waiting room, and there were endless hordes of immaculate salespeople constantly rushing around (far more populous than any potential customers walking in, the place was really quiet in that respect). The only vehicle in the showroom that caught my eye was the new Defender, and I spent ten minutes giving it a good looking at. It was pretty much the new version of mine - top spec working-man’s machine, and the price on the windscreen was £85000(!!!!). Not one sales-creature talked to me at any point in the entire time I was in that place, and I’d even had a wash, was wearing clean clothes and had my friendly face on… I genuinely wanted info on the Defender, went looking for someone with info, and gave up in the end as I was clearly beneath all of them. My new Hilux Invincible X is mint though!

I’d rather have an 11Kv generator sat ready to go ‘just in case’ and possibly have to work around it’s limitations (immersion off when showering for example) than spend time and unknown money pondering/waiting for the right genny/hopefully eventually buying something that ticks every known box out there. 11Kv is a lot, if you can’t live off that in times of hardship then you need to learn to be a bit more flexible in your outlook!

I knew they were, and then forgot they were, and have just seen this and am now annoyed with myself because I missed them!!! Cheers for the heads-up though! (Some mates and I used to use it as a chat-up line when we were out in Bath at the world’s greatest nightclub (Moles) - we’d tell birds we were in the Red Arrows as an ice breaker. Worked better than you’d expect tbh!)

I literally had this 15 years ago - my dog was barking in the middle of the night and I kept telling him to shut up. Next morning I realised my saws had been nicked out of the van on the drive!!

I’m not saying you should contact this guy…

The thread title suggests you are having issues with them, your early posts suggest you think they are causing you problems whilst breaking the law, I’d say you are definitely slandering them here (even though you now appear to be backtracking as everyone clearly thinks you are the problem, not them). Internet muppetry…

Everything is beginning to make sense now - you are posting from inside a mental hospital. (I didn’t know Skylands sold files in cakes though. I’ll be honest that I’m kind of glad delivery to inmates is tricky…)
