  1. i bet you took a leaf out of his book didnt you ? por old tree surgeon driving round in a little old mog
  2. no problem tommer , it was a pleasure to give the 390 a go and really impressed with it . and like i said if ever you need any TM or road closures doing feel free to give me a shout .
  3. tom did you get a pic of the stump ? i found it interesting how the LA can demand the removal of a tree within 14 days or they will do it them selves and charge the earth - IMO it was not as urgent as they made out , but hey ho they scared the crap out of two oap's needlesly !!!!
  4. could have been worse !!! he could have been using long gaffs !!!!
  5. i may well pop up , if there is anyone down in cornwall im happy to give you a lift . any way how come they gave up the Jensen dealership ?
  6. i was just looking at a richmonds catalogue and noticed the there are some treeme boots in there and the sizes they do are 13-15 hope this helps - i was gutted they dont seem to sell them in a 12 as i need to replace the craay 6 month old haix i currently have
  7. cool , thanks for the heads up , if iwll give you a shout if it dont go too well with nissan , he may well get it in a box of bits but im sure he will make much much more sense of it all than me lol, where abouts are you based to ?
  8. wicked , cheers mate . i aint going to harras them , i just need to try and get a date as to when they will take it in . im playing dumb for now but i have asked for info on the new navara !!
  9. lol , i would loved to have seen a picture of that . so how long before a letter comes from highways informing that the trees are not complying with the highways statitory minimum height regs ?
  10. i personally would steer well clear , the red tape involved in wate transfer and disposal is a nightmare and if im honest without 100k worth of screening kit and shredding plant i dont rally think you would be able to produce decent quality compost . However if you know you have got large quantities of green wast coming in why dont you spek to the local green waste companies in your area and see if you could get a decent price from them , you may well be able to make a small proffit from the haulage of green waste hope this is of help to you
  11. looks nasty !! sadly Bin lorrys do go with trees - well tree work , i have used one to chip into and found it to be amazing , as for this situation the bin lorry clearly won
  12. you need to drain the tank on your chipper , then clean it out and check to see if there is an in tank filter fitted , once doing this put the tank back onto the chipper -then change all other fuel filters and see if the problem is still there . if so then check to see if a breather is blocked- if there is one
  13. your a star , thank you , im on to them tomorrow.
  14. well the truck is going into nisan next week and we will wait and see what they say , i have heard from so many people that have had this problem , it makes you wonder why nissan are so tight on what they replace - thankfully the service book is spot on and the truck is in good condition , the most gutting bit is that we were looking to trade it in within the next month of so as the missus has her eve on the new mitsi evo - WELL that will have to wait lol
  15. yeah its emaculate other than the scuff on the bumper the missus gave it . i was looking through the service log book and it says in there that the waranty is 3 years of 60k so im kind of hoping that even tho its done 61k they will do something about it , i did hear that if not it will cost me roughly 5-6 grand and lets be honest its probably only worth 7k plus vat , maybe my insurance would wright it off !!! wishfull thinking lol
  16. hmmm only another ten years for me ha ha ha . i feel the biggest must when going self emplyed is a good bank of decent firms to work for that pay on time and pay sensible money , my advice would be that its not worth working for jokers .
  17. sadly i bought it seccond hand , it was under warranty untill the begining of last month when it turned 60k miles !! its been serviced on the buton when due, the service record is spot on . as for the knocking it started off as a tapping and as the tapping got louder so did the knocking if you know what i mean .
  18. the worst bit is that i bought it for the missus and i was only borrowing it on monday because the ranger is in bits lol . i must learn to be a little more gentle
  19. hiya guys , as it says above !! i was driving the navara when the bottom end decided it wanted to part company , thnkfully there is no con for poking out the side of the block , im really hoping that the engine may be repairable and that someone on here may have some info . thanks in advance guys - next time its a landy or hilux or even another ranger
  20. does anyone know if you can get spring asisters for vehiles with leaf springs? my ranger tipper could do with some when fully loades and towing the chipper
  21. yes but as always you cant do this whilst on the move
  22. great stuff , go for it and i wish you well , keep us informed as to which way you go - aa of icf
  23. to be honest if you can use a distel just like a prussik , i tend to use a distel on my small rope with no pully , as for it locking up it depends on how you tie it and how many wraps you use . Each person uses different lengths of cord dependent on length of arm and how you climb . personally i would buy 5 meters of cord and try out a couple . the other tip is to untie a prussik and see how long it is - you will want to add about another 12 inches to allow for the fishermans at each end . hope this is of use to you
  24. i would use standard tree cutting signs while taking the trees down and then for spreying i would use a couple weed sprsating in progress signs while spraying and then once finnished i would place caution notices either at every stump if they are spead out or place them on stakes allong the boundary . also i would chech the data sheet on the glypho to see what time scales ect are reccomended
  25. i would have thought that the ICF was moe aimed at consultants etc . as a tree surgery company i think i would be looking at either AA or ISA , as i feel they are better aimed at tree surgeons . what is your background ?
