  1. Guys i no and me stop at about 10 for breakfast then again somewhere between 12-1 pm for lunch thn finish by 3 is the aim most days
  2. only thing i would say is like has been said, take it in smaller bits dont smash the hedge, also why have you done half the job you took the top off, why leave the side branches untouched how will you reduce them in future. i get no end of re reducing stuff like that give it a few years that will be a right ball ache with no top and side branches towering above. for the sake of 2 mins not doing it
  3. it says in the exemptions page you dont need one if felling in a garden, this was a garden, half of them were stone dead so that comes under dead and cause nuisance. if im honest it never crossed my mind to look into 1, i thought you only needed one if you were felling X amount and removing it off site.
  4. finished off the job today, client is going to be having a big bonfire tomorow i think alot of timber on the deck aswell.
  5. I knew vermeer were well built i could tell they are easy work on by everything is so easy to get to by looks of it. You ever taken the funnel off tommer? Will b real pain if its hard to do.
  6. cheers guys made me feel at ease now, i thought was going to have a nice chipper with no where to put it i shall take some pics when i get it the machines 200miles from me so it may be end of this week or next week that i actually get it i shall take some pics im all excited cant wait to get my own machine
  7. hi all finally bought my first chipper a vermeer BC625i im just wanting some feedback on this machine as i have never used a vermeer? also im trying to work out where i am going to keep it, so could anyone tell me if the funnel comes off? thanks James
  8. here is couple of pics. weather its a good idea to do it like this i dont no, probs not but it does job for me.
  9. its a bit rough and ready i suddenly thought of it on sunday afternoon that i could do with that winch today, i shall go get a pic.
  10. Oooo yes leave a meaty hinge when i have a winch on them makes best crack ever when it goes love it
  11. Bought old vermeer been reverbed so im expecting it to be slow but solid should keep its value to
  12. a subby i bring in has a landy tipper with a hydraulic winch on the front, to slow for my likeing though. i have a hand winch but i wanted a winch that can pull fast and keep up the pace with the pulling which is vital in some situations. also im getting lazy and i like my gadgets just bought my first chipper also
  13. basically same as this but thats not the 1 i have. 3500lb ELECTRIC TRAILER 12v / ATV WINCH WIRELESS REM 12v self recovery 4x4 | eBay
  14. i didnt want to mount it on the front because i never need 1 really so i just made it so i can clip it on and off, made the electric connections clip on and clip off so its a matter of 1 minute to get it on and off. its just a cheap 3000lb winch off ebay cant fault it though 2 wireless remotes aswell
  15. had this little job lined up for today and tomorow with the snow easy job just felling willows that are mostly stone dead, from honey fungus was my id, from the boot laces under the bark. got a electric winch finally used it today pulls well ill give it that some of these willows were backleaning a fair way no struggle for it.

  16. got to love jobs like that bish bash bosh
  17. the big version does look abit odd i do admit, maybe it will be better looking at it as it will be on a invoice/quote heres a old 1 and new 1 to compare. i cant make my mind up which 1 i prefer.
  18. what would you change with the font if you dont mind me asking? i did think it could do with some colour, but then i thought its going to be on quotes and invoices printing them off its better all black really cost wise.
  19. i think it could be a good idea, but i think some people might then use it to much and forget about the curve in trees or which side the tree is weighted the wind direction etc etc they will just assume it will fell where the laser points.
  20. had a old school friend of mine design me a new logo, i let his imagination go where he wanted i said i wanted a tree my initials in the tree if possible and that i wanted the text as it is i think he has done wonders. he going to design me some proper adverts now for mags etc. got to love it when you no the right people so easy get stuff done.
  21. Had loads up in kings lynn last night so today wired up my electric winch so i can just plug it in and off the front my transit also i booked a easy couple day job in for tomorow nd tuesday just felling no clearing up
  22. Good vids as always reg some real big trees there i dont think ive got it in me to go up them sized trees so respect to you and everyone who does! I noticed your using the american upside down gob now always wanted to no why they use it? Thanks james
  23. im a qualifed instructor i love rock climbing i never get the time also dont no anyone who climbs anymore either and climbing is a 2 man game! used to white water kayak and play kayak polo which was awesome. but nearly drowned 3 times which made me swear i wouldnt get in 1 again after the 3rd time. last picture is me on the left in france, guy sitting in no mans land and guy on right in spain
