    Anyone interested in doing a job in Aberdeen for a mate of mine? My mate works for a large company and they have a tree with a branch which overhangs a neighboring property and they want the branch removed. I know it is a bit vague but let me know if you're interested and I'll pass your details on. Thanks

    Hi, Does anyone know where I can get an operators manual and a parts manual for a John Deere Roberine 1203 cylinder mower? Thanks

    Palisade, Vmex panels (standard or prison type), weld mesh or expanded mesh are all options.

    Keep checking with local companies/local authorites and something will pop up. I started climbing at 36 and had 10 great years before the opertunitiy came along to move onto something else. I was fortunate to meet a guy, when I started, who worked all over the UK which gave me fantastic experience, we even worked in London zoo, which was great fun. Good luck

    Used one a couple of times a few years ago, mighty impressive. Probably did the work of five men! If I had the money at the time I'd have bought one.

    If they have not been cut then leave them alone. If they are pressure treated then that provides the seal. I would imagine that the posts may have been kiln dried prior to pressure treating. If the ends have been cut then an annual treatment with creosote (proper stuff, not the type sold in the DIY sheds) will give the best protection.

    Always used these, no real problems if you know how to use them. https://www.clarkforest.com/shop/forest-garden/felling-wedges/high-lift-wedges

    Don't know if this is a step in the right direction!!

    McVeigh Parker sell these interlocking plastic pavers and will be cheaper than the figures on here.

    Second that.

    I've got real heavy ones think they are between 4 -5m. I'll measure tomorrow and let you know if you're still interested.

    Great video and a professional job. You were asked to do the job on the back of a report, what's to shout about.

    Always used a 14" on my 200t and don't see any reason to change but I'm probably "old school"!!

    What size of poles are you looking for?

    Aye Jake, chimney sweeping was child play back in them days:biggrin:

    Typical of peat harvesting machinery. I worked in the industry for 20 years and you certainly see plant that has been used to distruction. Much of it has been modified to do the job as there is nothing available off the shelf. I've seen tractors with 19000hrs on the clock and still going strong!

    It makes a huge difference to their efficiency if you get the correct size of sleeve for the posts you are knocking

    £1400 + vat.

    We sell these. Light enough for one man operation.

    Seriously heavy. Two man job to lift it or hang from a mini digger. Great at knocking in posts. We have been showing them off at agricultural shows for the past few months.

    Second that for either of there guys. Did loads of training with Chris Simpson, top bloke indeed:thumbup:

    I could be wrong but I don't think the "Bat Awareness Course" qualifies you to carry out an endoscope survey, from memory I think you need the Bat Handlers Licence, It's a few years since I surveyed for bats but that was the case then. The time of year could have a lot to do with the time constraints as bats could use the smallest of cavitities for "Day Roosts"

    Aye Jake, things always go better after a good blow!

    "Bang on" with your diagnosis. Blew the main jet out and it is running like a dream:thumbup: Thanks

    I have a Countax K1850 mower with a Kawasaki engine. I went to start it Yesterday but it will only run with the choke out slightly or with my hand over the air intake. Fuel filter is OK but obviously not getting the fuel it needs. Any help would be welcome.
