Should pull the, fine as long as the truck has some grip.

Have a grounds with a good eye, don't procrastinate, be decisive and make the cuts it's easy to waste precious time agonising over which growth point to cut to when it should be a quick decision

Went out to a 40ft ish conifer hedge of about 30 trees today coming down by 15ft but topped before at about 12ft. Was worried on Sunday and on the way about having under priced it got there and did 3/4 of it today whilst allowing 21/2 a pleasant surprise :-)

Would be amusing to get one on test, although I doubt it'd turn up

Back when I used to driveways a lot with someone else's firm we repaired a few of those gas pipes, was dead easy and local builders merchants supplied the bits knowing what they were for!

Nothing, however I saw a a documentary about American butters who call themselves ,prepers' who devote their entire lives to that sort of thing. It also included a guy who made his money getting paid to train said nut cases, was quite amusing.

How long did it take for your advertising to kick in?
Billy replied to YoGi_93's topic in Business Management
With google was the £150 a month on Adwords pay per click or for SEO? If its Adwords do you do it yourself or get YELL or similar to do I? Going back to the thread, I mainly rely on parish mags and a local small glossy magazine that covers the whole area with a massive circulation. The ones which are generally well established and expensive to buy into. I've tried a few cheaper ones that look good enough and had nothing, quite disappointing, and makes no sense to me -

Don't be a know it all, listen to everyone more experienced to yourself and climb the tallest most exposed trees you can and get to the extremities of the largest high branches...all average work climbs will seem pretty low after this.
-
Experience, were you climbing and doing tree work before the course?

Sling and Iran on a spliced eye for brush and fairly small stuff. Knots for the big stuff, for strength and when rigging a spar the Iran hits the pulley before the sling is right which is a bit dodgy.

The way I feel right now, not a lot.

Yes it is a TD5, it's still not particularly quick or powerful but a great improvement over the 200tdi.
-
It's a bit overkill but not excessively heavy I don't think, the guy I bought me off told me about how he always breaks ally bodies, not something I've had issues with before. However the boy is brand new and in primer in that picture Ali may as well use it before changing it.

I reckon a few inches higher and that would have looked pretty similar and it hurt enough where it was!
-
Trees- cut is brutal, I did the same but nearer the wrist I'm glad it wasn't further up after seeing that! I'll try and find the pic.

So the clutch and possibly dual mass flywheel are on the way out on my recently purchased defender, I've preen looking into solid flywheels and DMFs, general consensus on the landy forums seems to be that if you are working them hard a solid flywheels the way forward but it makes the vehicle louder and increases vibrations which doesn't seem great...

Cans in hand no one will know don't tell em
-
New defender, like the old one but more money!
-
First day out with this which I picked up on Sunday a bit different from the 200!
-
Quick tweak of the pump n boost will see a huge improvement on that, and some black smoke ;-)
-
Very nice! Power stroke ?
-
I'm looking at a few Defenders at present with PTO hydraulic pumps with power take off for various tools... Now I'm thinking log splitter like the nice 10t ones quite prevelant on eBay for £500 ish. However I'm finding it nigh on impossible to find out what sort of pressure and flow rate these require does anyone know and or run one off a defender...or just general advice on what size splitter can be sensibly run off a PTO pump set up on aTD5 Defender

Bit of brush cutting etc no hard standing but 24 hour security patrol :-)
