  1. Do you not find the backpacks a bit numb? by the time you have it started and then get it on your back you can be half way through with a hand held and as for the storage there a right pain but yes i agree there a powerful bit of kit.
  2. It's cold set tarmac in a bag
  3. common misconseption amongs people that know bugger all but think they do! Don't matter how big or old a tree is if it aint in a con area or have a TPO the owner can do what he/she likes to it.
  4. if a tree is in a conservation area and has a stem dia of 7.5cm or bigger then a application needs to be served to the council, hedges dont count really, doesn't matter if a tree has no TPO if it is a conservation area it is covered by law. A felling licience does not apply to domestic dwellings only woodlands.
  5. Take some quickmac with you and see if you can do the drive while your there:lol: only joking, well done for having the balls to post.
  6. thats pretty crap IMO the customers could of been given better advice and a better outcome. but if they like to look at that fair enough. looks like typical traveller work to be honest.
  7. Hi Mate hope you well. chipper is fantastic really chuffed with it.

  8. Don't buy of ebay as there silly money, get one from a dealer on here, yes there are other makes, echo, husky, efco, makita etc there all good but stihl has the edge IMO.
  9. No worries mate, come on over.
  10. GM every day of the week, TW are a poor and v old design to start with and what with chocolate bearings and ally fan blades! I have 2 GM a 9" and a quadchip and both machines are easy to work on and well built.
  11. Prune at base, Ash makes banging firewood I would go with B or C also, Ash will cope and lets face it it's not the best looking tree to start with.
  12. No you don't, its a conservation area! you should give notice of intents to work and the council has 6 weeks to stop you and can only do so by placing a TPO. You should still issue the correct form though. but to be honest it depends how well you get on with your TO.
  13. what if you don't have a tail gate?
  14. Having a thicko moment again Tim:001_tt2:
  15. I would do some work for someone else to see if you like it first and to be honest i would not sink a load of money into this business thinking your going to make a good living in this climate, its hard for firms that have been going for years never mind new ones. Re train as a plumber, less over heads, less money in kit and more money in your pocket.
  16. i think if you have over so many employees it is. If you need a tick sheet do one on your pc, it aint hard to make a bull S1it sheet.....
  17. follow manufacturers check lists.
  18. put some wood on it then:001_tt2: took 2 cube out yesterday but i guess it will tale off now, im up on sales over last year though.
  19. religion causes so much trouble throught out the world. each to there own though.
  20. Just a belt with mine, only the fatties need braces!
  21. Sack em both, all mp's are good for nothing spongers!
