    Welcome, to all your questions, yes!!! If you have an 088 with 36" bar your 90% there!! All you need now is an old ladder and an Alaskan mill. RobD on here is your man to speak too. He'll be along soon when he sees the thread

    Climb up it, top it to the required height. Trim the sides . on the nieghbours side you could butcher it back to boundry, they couldn't say anything, but I would just give it a trim in, and work it back over a few years.

    Everytime you push off a lump, hold your breath and it doesn't take something out, you make a little bit more money than planned, Mike did it, nothing got damaged , simples! He gets to finish at 1 pm and go play with his guns or trucks or both, while the lowering brigade are still tidying up at 7 pm !!! The secret is knowing when to and when no to . Lowering is the most dangerous thing about this job, bombs away I say. Steer with your mind:)

    £40 I'd say! It's a scabby wee hedge, and if it was done twice a year with less growth, £30 a time.

    Hookloader are good, but you need a huge area to load, unload if your on a street. I tried ripping stuff out the ground with the hook but the geometry was wrong and just pulled it tight against the back wheels. Build quality is fantastic though.
