    Go to a local supplier and ask for a pack of mixed native hedging tell them the quantity and sizes and you won t go wrong. Have done this loads of times and the hedges look great. Because of the variety of species it will attact all manor of wildlife customer love that sort of thing.
  9. don t think so don t think he knows he s called dangerous brian

  10. I have just done exactly the same thing. Will try and ring the supplier next week to see if they ll give me a deal on the visor and ear defender assembly.
  11. Landyman are you sorted yet did the contact details I gave you help.
  12. Hi Alban its Blake Davis

  13. Thanks for the offer john but I don t believe in the DIY approach. The Tree its self is a large Coast Redwood if its going to be done it must be done properly by an experianced contractor. Thats why I want referances. I am not willing to take a chance in half measures thats not how I operate.
  14. Just got a 576xp with 24 inch bar its awesome. The makitas are great too its going to be down to personal preference.
  15. Hi I am looking for someone to do some airspade and mulching work for me in Hampshire. I am looking for contractor and some references for this type of work. Please PM with contacts.
  16. I do know that the helper springs just make it handle better I can carry just over a ton in it legally.I have tested with and without loads on a weigh bridge and know exactly when to stop chipping into the back. Thanks for the concern
  17. These are mine landy cost me £900 quid to convert looks better than most conversions i mine opinion. It was prevoisly a 110 hi cap. They both have there pros and cons but when you have both its very handy. Landy will carry 3 cubic meter of chip I have 130 srings with helper springs on back handles quite well fully loaded.
  18. Looking for a price on the following please PM me. Thought i would try this first before ringing around. stihl 660 32inch bar stihl 441 24 inch bar husky 576xp 24inch bar 395xp 32 inch bar Have not worked out which 2 to go for so will see about price. If anyone has any contacts who could help please pm me also. Thanks
  19. I am one of his instructors and also use him as a groundsman/climber fairly regularly. He is very capable and certainly has great experiance. Hes not affraid of hard work ground based or in the tree. Any company that is looking for someone in the mid twentys, fully qualified very knowledgeable and just a genuine good all round guy then you certainly should give him a shot you should not be disappointed. Hope you get some decent leads from this and I ll gladly give you a full written reference if needed. Good luck Will (Beardy Ayres)
  20. Its for the best mate i wouldn t have touched it even with your money.
  21. at 1500 hundred quid it would be great but make sure you budget higher at least another grand as old machine s like that will certainly cost more. Remember its not like you have any proper protection like you would if you went to a dealer. I know you pay more at dealers but you will save in the long run. Interest rates are so low and with your work picking up I would be inclined to spend a bit more for less hastle its what i did and i am happy so far

    colleges

    Me and a mate used to teach that this is our thoughts. Its very difficult for the College staff to get the results as the average age of student is dropping. When i was at college i was one of the younger ones in my low twentys but now the average age is eighteen. Who hear can say that at eighteen they knew what they wanted, had the disipline to listen to intruction and pushed yourself on practicals and in the classroom. The staff are given a large group of students due to a bums on seats program so the college can earn lots of money. Every year they produce a small number of good students and a number of crap ones but i don t think you ll get it perfect with every one. Do you think the industry could cope if all colleges had great success rates and turned out outstanding students. Unfortunatly it will never happen. The colleges don t tend to offer great wages so why would some one want to teach a load of snotty teenagers. It takes the right sort of person to take on a teaching job. I think college staff should be thanked for the work not slated its hard for them to get the Large numbers of students through everything on their course especially if the student doesn't want to be there.

    Ebay

    BARGAIN Its amazing that people can t see that its a fake. I hope the seller gets punished for it. If only i could sell cheap nasty copys for that sort of money. This time next year we will be millionaires Rodney.
  25. If a vehicle has a GLW under 3500kg, an unladen weight under 2040kg, has four wheel drive and is equipped to carry one or more passengers (including the front seats) then it is a 'dual purpose' vehicle for MoT purposes and should be tested as class 4. So most 110 and 130 that are between 3000 and 3500 can be class 4 but only if unladen weight is under 2040. So if you have chip box etc your landy will be over 2040kg then will need a class seven test. Go to a public weighbridge get a certificate and find out you can t look at the plate as most landys have other bits bolted on such as winches steering guards etc. Like i said before many get incorrectly tested and it will be the owners responsibity not the garage. I ve had the problem myself get a class seven test and cover yourself
