    i would have thought a chiper on the back of a ranger or similar would be quite a popular tool , alto we use our mog for alot of utility work but there are times where two guys in a 4x4 chipper would be far better , no trailer etc etc .

    Ahhhhh i see . last year we did some work taking down several trees with rooks nests in them for the L/A - they made sure that we applied to natural england to get specific permision to disturb/remove the nests . Either that or a fairly large fine per offence - meaning per nest and there were about 15 nests !!!

    your best option is to contact the forestry commision and get them to have a look for you . yes it may seem a little ott but in view of how easily Phytophthora is spred i would not be inclined to leave it too long . hope this may be of some use to you , also on the FC website you can get info on disease controle areas near you , we have a few down here in cornwall and it can make doing tree work pretty difficult , however the fines for removing wood chip, timber ,brushwood form a Phytophthora site is pretty hefty .

    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
  21. combined tree services
