  1. You charge what the market allows! If it's for a mates granny and you are feeling bad, charge less. It's not a race to the bottom guys. £40 per hr minimum for anyone using a saw self employed doing their own work.
  2. They haven't pollarded stuff up here in decades . Locals went bonkers by the 3rd tree, councillors jumped on the band wagon and the thinning tickles began. Residents usually keep on top of epicormic and trees get picked off here and there.
  3. Nice! My dad sent me this pic tonight, its about 13 years ago.[ATTACH]222119[/ATTACH]
  4. Helping a mate bust up some big beech rings. That's about a third of the size of the largest ones[ATTACH]222080[/ATTACH]
  5. Arbor eater, Bandit 250 and a TW and a Jensen
  6. Ive ran TP for 16 years, 4 different models , a bandit, timberwolf, 2 Greenmech , Jensen and a schiesling oh and an arbor eater. I have no idea what their back up service or warranty is like. Never needed it. Just saying
  7. Get a fixed demo grab for timber wrestling. Had mine 3.5 years, abused the life out it, not even a ding in it![ATTACH]221629[/ATTACH]
  8. No spikes won't work. If it's that steep then rope and harness off something.
  9. Good man, that's a VERY fair price indeed.
  10. Conny bashing and root removal last week.
  11. 6 years since I posted on this thread. 41 now, still climbing. I don't train anymore which means I'm not as strong for the ascents but I also don't lift tons of logs by hand as I invested in a digger and grab so my backs a lot better!
  12. My pack is growing and we are all looking for the border terrier
