combined tree services

Ady , i was refering to tommers post , but while im here who cares if the person is a "pro surfer" or a pro postman lol im sure you did explain it in great detail to the client . any way it will be interesting to hear how the job turns out .

whats up with it anyway ? have you not tried anyone like satturn machine knives ? im pretty sure that they sell anything blade associated with chippers , including anvils .

fair play , anyway whats wrong with £800 for a feed roler ? or are you looking for a bragain

its a crap reason IMO , i used to work like this way and proven wrong so many times , how are the general public meant to know whats what when it comes to a profession that they know nothing about ? its like anything we all love a bargain (or what we think to be a bargain ) so why would the woman have any reason to doubt that the guy quoting £140 to do half a days work is to steep ?? maybe she is thinking that the quote for £300 was to steep or maybe inflated ?? . Anyway how can you deduce that smoeone that accepts the cheeper quote my be a bad payer ? this is not a big at anyone in specific just simply my thoughts

i can see where you guys are comming from and it gets me just as much especially when you see the finnished product and it loks a mess ! Sadly the un educated customer thinks its grand !! . As for this case Ady i would have waited before saying anything , there are many variabes to take into account , has the guy got another small job in the same area that he can do on the same day to make up the money ? does he work a litle faster than you ? does he carry out his own TM (Trafic managment) does he feel that its only a small tree an its only half a days work ? does he feel the need to charge for a planning app in a cons area ? . Im really not having a dig at you what so ever but personaly i find that there sometimes is a valid reason as to why a quote is not accepted or even why the other guy is cheeper . if its someone you know then maybe when the job has been done why not have a look at it and if it is shocking then why not talk to the tree owners and maybe educate them a little ??? As for baising whether someone will pay a bill on time etc on the fact that they accepted a quote that was alot cheeper from someone elts is not really a good cause to be weeding out customers out at the moment .

why not use the gas main to its full potential ? with a couple tyres to aid in the proces i recon you could burn the tree to the ground and possibly the stump as well being serious it sounds like a propper nightmare and wish you well getting the job done David

personally i would give them a miss , if your looking for helmets and visors etc i would give justin at fr jones a call , with fr jones you know you are getting value for money and quality

nice job Lorry , i hope you did not have any timber hanginh over your head on that job !!!! lmao , having said that i was not going to the apf but we did get called out to a pine tree with a large limb hanging over several cars .

what will you be hanging / putting on it ? . seeings that the normall spans betwene uprights is normally roughly 8 foot then i should think that a single pole spanning 8"6 you should be able to load roughly 180-200 kg safely

if you are using one single pole i can probably work it out for you , how are you going to be weight loading the pole ? ie will it be bridging or ??

i have used both tw and jensen 6 ich chippers and the build quality is much better with the tw- we were using a 750 kg 6 inch jensen and if im honest i found that the engine hood was poor quality and not fitted that securly at all , the key and throttle are in a daft place where by in the winter they get lagged with mud and road dirt and the fuel tank does not carry enough fuel . on the pluss side the jensen was a turdo and did chip very well (the machine had only done 60 hours) . now the timberwolf's build qhality is much better , the key and throttle are in a better place , the fuel tank holds plenty of fuel and is far easyer to opperate but sadly not a turbo and slightly slower chiping with the anti stress cutts in more often ( this chipper has done roughly 550 hours) . i know some of you will probably not agree but i do think that a tw is the way forward unless your looking for a bigger chipper . Tw parts are cheaper and the tec's at tw are great if you have a problem .

Really sorry to hear your bad news , i hope the opp goes well and you make a full recovery. Its great that even though you are in this situation you are taking the time to highlight the issue .

im pretty sure that BS5837 is only enforced on certain construction sites, i have seen so many trees dammaged by either the construction of buildings or the construction workers . Recently a site near me had several tres taken down to allow for the construction of several dwellings which led to a public outcry and rightly so !! but why were none or the trees to be retained fenced off or at least a suitable cordon placed arround them ?? why were the trees being retained dammaged by the fools that took the trees down to make way for construction ??? . To top the situation off the LA gave a flimsey excuse that the trees being felled were " in poor condition and were not going to develop " . It was pretty clear that the trees felled were part of a stand of trees that should have been retained as a group that formed a screen and boundary to the adjacent road .

im really sorry to hear about your stroke , i hope that you make a full recovery. i have a friend whos father had the same thing hapen to him , he is now enjoying life and has made his family and his health his first priority. on the other hand my mum married my step dad who ran his own carpet shop and fitting company , he always put family and friends first and would do anything to help anyone but sadly he died playing 5 a side football with his son , he was only 52 when he died from congenitive heard disease . I guess it ust goes to show the you dont know whats round the corner .

sorry tomer but my oppinion of you has just hit an all time low , how can you admit to speaking to them let alone letting them soil your yard with their arrisings

i guess it depends on who in the banking sector you are reffering to really tom

what was the species that had been chipped and were the chipper blades sharp ?

to be honest i would considder going on refresher courses if they were aimed at guys that have been in the game for a few years and if they were reasonably priced . Recently i went away and finally did my assessment for UA2.1,2.2,2.3 when i recieved my all new flimsy ticket i noticed that the certification only lasts for 3 years now i dont know about you guys but for the kind of money we are paying to get trained and certificated by NPTC (who have the market pretty well sewn up and can make the rules up to suit) i dont expect to be told that the cert is no use after 2013 .

i would go for a timberwolf , i have spent the last week using a green mech and personally i find them to be shocking . the chip it produces is pretty poor and i have found it to be a really messy chipper . as for a timberwolf i have found the manufacturer to be really helpfull when you call them for advice , parts are readily available , the chip is decent enough to sell , and its not at all as messy as the green mech .

Matt why not have people in for a weeks trial with a review and agreed wage for the right candidate at the end of the week ?? i dont think its easy to fix a wage for a job position however its more than reasonable to arrang a wage for a guy depending on how a weeks trial turns out , when it comes to groundies i feel some people have what it takes and some dont .

wow looks like a great job , somerealy nice kit on site too , well done mate

im normally in the yard for 8 then strait out to site - half hour for lunch , couple ten min breaks and home for about 5-6 , then its on with anything that needs to be done in the yard or office - failing that its off to the gym . then weekends are fair game if i can work i will and enjoy it .
