  1. Was the TW 190 not v good either, never had howt to do with them to be honest but thought they were better built than a 150. What was wrong with it? nearly got a 150 last year.
  2. Bet this thread sticks in the back of your throte a bit Jonny :001_tt2:
  3. Sorry to hear justin and glad the got nowt. its the season again alright, hate the thievin little tw@ts...........
  4. been thinking about these for a while and had at look at the AA show, think i will stick to hand signals and shouting for now as these don't seem too reliable.
  5. Got a bit of fencing you can help me with on Friday Liam............
  6. Its worth a LOT, is it legit? i would be interested in some of it if it is and you dont want it all.
  7. Be a good machine if its genuine, ask to go see it, to be honest i would not buy anything big off ebay without seeing it first if its owt big, then pay by cheque or cash, do not pay upfront before seeing it. If he refuses then stear clear!
  8. Agree with both here and BBB, so many people talk about "pollarding" and really mean topping, pollarding is for young trees not mature ones but as Dave says were in a service industry, i would try convince the punter and get a new tree planted but if they want it topped i will do it, at the end of the day if we dont they will get some traveler to do it as there passing and end up with tears and breaks all over the place. Mr and Mrs bloggs could give a flying F... about "modern best practice or if you an AA contractor" they want a result for the least amount of money.....simple. If the tree is in good health it will live after topping and has been said the reaction growth will be big, so in real terms its better coming out as in 5 years time the customers view will be blocked again and they will have a shite looking tree, only a stop gap measure in real tearms.
  9. Good job Steve, was going to say thats one big ass willow but then remembered your a bonsai tree surgeon:001_tt2:
