That's the one.

Maybe I will, now that could be interesting?

Thanks for the replies guys. Will not lose any sleep over it, now i've ranted

That's the problem. Undercutting is not good, but you can't win em all. I pride myself on being professional, clean and recommended for my work. Only problem it's getting quiet on the tree work here.

No problem Skyhuck

Client actually told me he thought £450 was a fair price! I gave him a discount! He was talked into the cheaper way I think. However we will see the state of the job over the next few days

Full Rig down with a 60ft Japanese Maple in good condition 10ft away. Long drag for chipping and tight access. Overhanging two neighbours gardens. 3 man job 1 day. Pricey? I do not think so!

Michael, where are you? A bit more info may help?

Quoted a job today. 70ft Blue Cedar takedown. Guy told me he had no-one else in to quote and would be happy to give me the job if the price was right. Was told by the client he was happy with quote £425. Shook hand on it and I said we would do our best to do the Job this Saturday. On leaving, saw one of my competitors over the road. 30 mins later, my phone rings, client says in a funny sort of voice, ah yes I totally forgot to tell you, I had arranged for another quote last week. He eventually told me this Guy had knocked on the door after I had left and undercut me by £225.00:thumbdown: Would you stoop so low?

Jo Beau 300 Chipper Drive belts and anvil question
Treewarrior replied to Treewarrior's topic in General chat
Thanks lads, Blades on the way to be re-ground and will reset anvil on return. -
This is becoming more of an ocurrence everywhere. Last week we saw 2 guys cutting down a tree on private land. They were caught by the landowner, nicking deadwood for firewood!
-
Stripping down my Jo Beau 300 chipper to replace the blades today. Noticed the drive V belts were slack. Have adjusted the slack by moving engine about 1/4 inch and also want to adjust the gap between blade and anvil. Does anyone know what the gap should be please?

Pecker, keep the forecasts coming
-
Hi Peckerwoo, interesting stuff. Do you study the weather etc??. Interesting to have someone on here that can give some alternative forecasts

:thumbup1:Great Vid. Must have cost some with the crane.

Maybe We need to ask Burnswood onto the Forum to back up some of their ridiculous statements?

Renewable John, Was at Chelford last week and saw the soaking wet logs for sale. Did not hang around for the auction. Did you manage to get the prices though? John Wild

Improves the draw sometimes?

Each to their own.

Just finished a'day off' stripping down all my saws and sharpened 18 chains. Ready to rock and roll again. I just have a bucket full of chains and change them as soon as they dull. There's nothing more irritating than having to stop and sharpen , rather get it right using the good old vice and file.

Stopped out of respect. Have a son in the army, so always on my mind. Will be standing at the Bull Ringrememberance parade in Middlewich on Sunday, remembering the fallen and thinking about my son
