    not alot as we have our own TM side of the company . but if we are working for another company then it is dependant - 2 way lights with lane closure including set up and take down for 24 hours is £210.00 + vat . however we have firms that use us a fair bit and get a reasonable discount

    to be totally honest there is not a factory endorsed tyre for most of the current 4x4's , infact most munufacturers will void your warante if you fit mud terrains. Western power tend not to fit them unless they really have too . I run BFG MT2's on my ranger and can not fault them , they are a fair bit better than the origional mud terrains when off road and roughly as good as the old ones on the road . i would keep looking for some BFG's if i was you but should you not be able to get any then maybe try a set of these - Google Image Result for http://www.extreme4x4.co.uk/acatalog/insasptrack3L.jpg

    personally i think every tree surgeon starting out on his own should have an ldv to start off with . they are good old strong busses and cheep on parts , you could do far worse .

    pretty much what we did , waste not want not and all that

    i agree that unless you know what your doing then stay away until the power is off . But i didnt think that open wire can be used as a service (meaning pole to house ) im pretty sure under ESQCR this is not acceptable any more and should be changed to concentric .

    the 2003 rangers do not have a Dual mass flywheel , you will most ikely find that the clutch has got hot at some point and also the pressure plate may be a little worn , £2oo will get you a new clutch , we did it our selves which did help , also your ranger shoult have had a new cam belt at 90k , one tip is that once you have had a new clutcu fitted if you have any reversing up hills to do wth a trailer , where possible put it in low box .

    not being rude bob but had you considdered a crawler crane ? i have used on where the all terain crane could not get to due to soft ground and mud . Just an idea tho , is there an Ainscouh near you ? i know they have crawlers
  11. combined tree services

    they will expect cs 30 , 31 , 38 , 39 , and you will be expexted to have a groundy with cs 38 , your kit will need to be LOLER inspected , and your insurer may well want to see proof of training

  21. combined tree services
    yes , you could alays see if anyone has a second hand device at half the price of a new one , just an idea tho , if i had one i would offer it
  22. combined tree services
    i would go for a bigger saw and forget the 12 inch timber - we have found bigger timber much easyer to work . maybe an ms441 ?
  23. combined tree services
    thye look like an ok little saw if your not climbing every day .

    i think you are refering to a Concentric cable , these are fairly safe to work around as they are classed as twin screened cable - please see attachment. http://www.otds.co.uk/electrical-equipment/cables/concentric-cable.jpg as much as this cable is pretty safe to work arround i would still contact your local distribuion office and request a shut down. it may also be possible that the linesmen that do the shud town may also drop the line so that its out of your way completly thus making the job even easyer . Hope this is of use to you BUT remember if your not sure get it switched off !!
