    i love working on Holm Oak's , Beech, ash but i have to say i do enjoy working on Sycamores alot as well , as for trees to look at it has to be either a Red Oak or London Plane , sadly down in cornwal we dont get to many London Plane to work on .

    there is a muti task mulcher in the clasifides for hire , looks quite small and should get down the racks i guess , failing that a 360 with either a single tooth ripper or a mulching head

    nope burning really is not acceptable !! think how many loads of fire wood you would lose !! Dynamite sounds better all round and its about the only way i can think of taking a tree down and having plenty of pre split timber !!!!

    i have a guy that i supply timber downe here dought 2 log splitters to work off of his tractor spool valves, he bought them from the same guy and within 4 weeks of use they are boot in bit in boxes on the way back to the guy . Really poor workman ship and cheep replica parts are used !!! i would stay well clear of the guy . Having said that dangerous bri bought one of his early splitters to go on his tractor and its still going well after splitting roughly 400 tons of timber .

    I certainly do not regret buying my mog and it has proved to be a verry usefull tool , as far as im aware im pretty much the only tree surgeon running a mog in cornwall , it has alowed me to carry out off road work that no other tree surgeon's down here could look at doing , it has also shown just how usefull it is with some of our clients that we sub contract too as it can get pretty much anywhere and with a 10" chipper we can get through large volumes of timber and brash in a short space of time . it does have one main draw back and thats that is dont fit everywhere !!!

    my thoughts are with the poor lads familly . this just goes to show that acidents do happen , sadly not every acident can be rectified .

    if your going to look at welding then i would find a decent fabricator that can braize

    why not charge £120 as per your normal day rate ? your new to tree work and if this is your first reduction your going to need to take your time and make sure that you get it right . treat this as a chance to further your Arb knowledge. i would not think about charging a tree surgeons rate unless you are certain you can assure the same standards and service . without sounding patronising - there is far more to tree work than CS units !!
  15. combined tree services
    surely you should be able to get parts for that spool valve ?

    when you spend the entire time that your out walking with the missus constantly looking at trees

    to be totally blunt i think your going about tree work all the wrong way ! This may be your clients neighbours tree and your client may want the tree to be as small as possible or felled but that is not what the owner wants . What will you do when the owner decides to take legal action because you have destroyed his tree . and secondly you should think of this as a business card or an advertisment of your work and the standards you work too . My best advice to you is to keep a good standard of work , and get a coppy of BS3998 to thumb through.

    personally i would considder a 25% reduction followed by a 15-20% thin in roughly 2 years . Reducing a Sycamore by half its size will only result in prefuse Re-growth and the customer will not thank you in the end . But this is only my personal oppinion .

    I run a u1600 with a 10" chipper on the back and find it to be way more useful than any other vehicles i have had (transit tippers, 4x4's etc) but this is due to the ammount of comercial and utilitty work we carry out as opposed to domestic, this in its self makes it a worth while tool but i do not think that if the mojority of my work was domestic i would have a mog . we burn about 150 litres of derv every week but for still wel worth while when it comes to going anywhere and removing large quantities of chip and timber . But i certainly think a mog is a big commitment. when they go wrong they aint cheep to fix . I would maybe re think getting a u1500 as they are a bit more bulky than a u1200 or even a u1600 .

    personally i would considder transporting your chipper on the trailer with your stump grinder , from what i can remember you have a quick link type system on your chipper dont you - ie a triange frame that fits onto your linkage and a traingular resess on yout chiper ? . also is your trailer self braking ( like an ifor) or is it air braked ? im looking for a timber trailer to go behind my mog but obviously needt to be air braked which is a pita .

    I have used most of the chainsaw trousers on the market and have found the stretch airs to be the best , i currently use the gladiators and have found them to be hard wearing , not to hot and not as heavy as some of the other trousers . in fairnes it does depend on the type of tree work etc , we do a mixed ammount of work vairying from utility work, domestic , L/A , site clearence . if your not doing to much tre work and the work that you do is mainly domestic and your not climbing through bramble and over barbed wire then the stihls or sips will do you well .

    no it wont but when you are assured by the sole importer that the product (in my case a harness) then i feel there is a need to phone and ask questions such as - when will it be released or even if it is going to be released . in my case i was looking for a harness because i needed a new one , now i wanted to buy the newer version that i had so needed to find out if and when the harness was available . In this case it could be that someone is wanting/needing a new top handled saw but is willing to wait a couple weeks or month to try the new version thus meaning that a call to the dealer is in order to find out if the saw will be on sale in time or weather to buy another saw the sam has he has now . So in short yes in some cases it is needed to call and ask

    used an older one a about 3 years ago and found it to be quite good , but rater bulky for what it does compared to similar chipers . personally if i was looking for something this size i would be looking at a vermere or schlies as they have far more experience in building machines of this size . as far as timberwolfs go i dont think i would be looking at anything bigger than the 190. IMPO Hope this is of use .

    in all fairnes if you dant ask you dont get or get any info , for instance- in 2009 i went to the AA arb show and saw the new skylotec was on display , three months later it was not on sale so i called and asked why , they explained why and told me it would be out within the next 6 months ! nine months later i went to the 2010 arb show and still it was not released and to my knowledge it is still not available ! but there is nothing on the importers web site at all . You see so had i not called and asked i would not have known all this and frankly i find it pretty pointles to display a harnes at an arb show and state that it will be availabe soon when 18 months later its still not availabe and still not word as to when . So maybe some ONE should ask where the husky arborist saw it ( i would try to refrain from terming it as a "topper" ) lol
