  1. I am looking for some advice on stump grinder teeth set up.I have been told that my grinder will be faster if i just use left and right teeth and no straights. what is everyone else using and any thoughts on this set up. ta Ian
  2. I would do it in one go aswell, cherry has shallow roots anyway and as has been said before i don't think there would be a prob with foundations on anything within the last 30 years or so. get toed in Mick and get the log pile stocked:001_tongue:
  3. I have just sold out of last years logs, just sold a couple of tons of green, but i always tell the customers and let them make there mind up.

    CSCS cards.

    Might be me being a bit thick here but whats the answer? Do we need one to do site clearance(if it starts again) or do arb work on building sites or not. also on the cscs site i put tree surgeon in the serch bar and it says i need a white card, what ever that is. Also how long does the card last? HELP..............AM GOING MAD:scared1:
  5. I can sort a gas bbq Baz, if we all chip in with nosh it would be a good do.
  6. Must admit landies ARE AWSOME...............They leak an AWSOME amount of oil:001_tongue:
  7. Dont know, was going to get back to me with a serial number for a chipper he was selling, pm him last night still nowt:confused1:
  8. Had it about 6 months now, split a good few ton with it and it's good, had a few probs with it, leaking pump and control valvue but were sorted out by titan pro. cant fault it for the money.
  9. I got a 26 ton titan pro one off ebay for 1100 quid, its a powerful machine and its pretty good once you get your head past the chinese build quality, you know pipes not tightened up properly etc, nothing major there back up is pretty good aswell. makes a good first machine but something to last 10 years...........not sure, ya pays ya money and takes ya chance.
  10. Its now agains EU rules to use the word pikey! there now known as- Caravan Utilising nomadic Travelers.....or ***** for short:001_tongue:
  11. Just empty the old fuel out and re fill with fresh fuel, dont bother "cleaning" it.
  12. Come on down BAZ, that sounds a top idea, you being chef for the day:001_tongue: hope ya come mate, be good to catch up.
  13. i will come, should be good. As for trees, how about trying hazel wood castle just of the A64, they have some monster trees on there estate?
  14. YEEEEEE HAAAAAAA:001_tongue:
  15. Try just putting a piston in the 88, you wont get a non genuine pot for the 88,you can get a piston but not a pot and a genuine set is about 350-400quid. in many ways the 66 is better in this respect, i rebuilt one last year pot and piston 100 quid and it is spot on.
  16. I use tesco fuel in my truck, van and car with no problem also use there petrol in my saws again never had a problem.
  17. A good site mate, good to read, clear and not fussy or flashy however as has been said get rid of the dogs, as nice as they are thats your personal thing, this is business, the last thing you want is a customer to think it's a cross between a web site and face book.
  18. nice bike, i got a kwaker ZX12R and yeah red is better. have to arrange a tree surgeon ride out in summer, Dean's a biker aswell.
  19. There local thieves, i don't know of them, never upset any one round here. 2 were released from prison last week, i know this as 2 have been arrested. they were petty thieves after sat nave etc. when they were spotted they went crackers, they turned like pit bulls. and i believe the fire threat, how can you win against that attitude?
  20. i reported it last night, 2 have been arrested, but will be out by tomorrow no doubt, were moving out to a friends house while we think in the cold light of day, waiting for glass so i can move the truck and chipper, wife and son are trying to keep me going but right now i just want to give in and be a wage slave again, i love this industry, boy when it good it's great but when it's bad it's shite. thanks for the support guys.............it does help
  21. As most of you know on here i have been targeted over the last few months, had my chipper nicked, all my saws and tools etc last night my outside light went on so i looked out of ny bed room window only to find 3 guys looking round, i shouted then they got baseball bats out and smashed all 3 of my vehicles up, asked me to come out as they were going to glass me then said "were coming back to burn your house" how much is a man supposed to take, new glass is 600 quid, my kids and wife are frightened and were in a recession! am on the brink of calling it a day to be honest...........driven out of my village and home cos of scum:sad:
  22. Sap is like PVA, gets every where and is a bugger to get off. Wood turners love it, i have 2 bowls tuned from it, lovely wood just a bitch to handle
  23. I have done a couple, Bloody awful, there easy as not a lot of climbing but you get scratched to buggery, even handling the limbs to the chipper is crap make sure you get well paid for it.
  24. No probs matey, glad to help out:001_smile:
