  1. So if a not so good climber got the job done quicker to the same standard, is this laziness
  2. Nice set up!! Check the front tyres in the JD!
  3. Finally got playing today:)
  4. I don't dead wood or reduce tickle tickle style!
  5. I use it all the time in the tree, I love my pole saw:thumbup:
  6. Can't help but laugh everytime, now I want a hilux again !!
  7. I never liked the cantilever system, I used to have to lift the back body and try and get the switch at the same time to help it tip. I had the same as Essex after and it was brilliant! I'm sure you'll soon fix it, beef it up and make it better Bob:thumbup1:
  8. Wow!!!!!!! That's awesome! Tell Greg to go for it do I can buy mine back!
  9. Nice 1!! My machine gets delivered tomorrow:001_smile:
  10. They were lucky there!! Had a big Silver fir to sort this morning, its well jammed up in a lime, its popped off ok, I took a lump off it and it see sawed and is now lying level both ends 15' up! I forgot a pic! Did some more of the windblown beech, got enough to get cars through. I'll need a big Hiab or machine to lift lump out.
  11. I've sat on that beach!
  12. Ive never seen one of these before, very clever indeed:thumbup1: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJTmP3MhoZ4&feature=youtube_gdata_player]Rock Digger-Roadside Ironworks - YouTube[/ame]
  13. Wow!!!
  14. It's got about 10m straight up. It can be used for that if the occasion arises. I found out its not piped for grab but has the 2 spools capped off at the valve block, so not a big job to run hoses.
  15. If yor tractor has 1000 speed then this should sort your problem. If not I doubt paddles will be worn
  16. Sure has:thumbup1:
  17. I have disabled and elderly customers
  18. The price of the job shouldn't be dictated by distances or equipement. It's what it's worth. Ask the customer what he wants to pay for the job. If the job is worth £50, then it's up to you to deduct your expenses and then see if it's worthwhile for you to do it .
  19. They'll be in a shed by the end of the week:biggrin:
  20. Sounds like £30 to me and catch when passing. 4 blips with a saw and that's the felling sorted and a once over something else with a hedge cutter. Unless there 7' high oak stumps 4 ' wide and the bushes are the Rhodes are big enough you could hide a lorry behind then don't go bonkers, especially if it's your first job. Calculating how much fuel you use in a saw is taking it a bit far , a gallon of 2 stroke mix can make you a few £K, don't focus on the little twigs when there's a huge pile of brash needing chipped:laugh1:
  21. Some from today .
  22. Great job, took kahoonies!! Well done!
