    Hi everyone. We'll it looks like its a sycamore after all. Around 20inch diameter trunk and between 30 to 40ft. So didn't strike me as mature as the ones behind but I could be wrong. Everything looked fine. Just was still unsure about all the scale as I can't say I've seen this amount throughout the entire tree before. I can only assume that it is a genetic characteristic as arborowen said as it looked healthy. More thoughts on the scale welcome. Cheers guys

    Thanks for all your input everyone. I am going to see them tomorrow for a site visit as i agree they are rarely correct i just wanted some info from other individuals than just my own thoughts. I guess the customer slung the ladders up for them pics. Cheers everyone

    A customer emailed me these pics of what they said was their back garden sycamore today. They said that it didnt look the same as the others at the back of it, as they were alot smoother on the limbs. This has scale over the entire tree. What are everyones thoughts on it before i get back to them. Cheers

    Hi i have a decent 2.8l daily 35c11. The back is now shot but the truck is great. Does any one know anyone in west yorkshire that would sort me a new complete back made to my spec Cheers Darran

    We did some felling in a mini woodland in summer and the customer wants rid of the stacked timber now. Its ash and majority sycamore in 2 to 3ft lengths from approx 8" to 20" diameter. i can load it and sell it by the truck load which is an iveco daily 3.5ton tipper or if you can load yourself that will be great. PM if you want details Many Thanks Darran

    I have timber available nearly all the time and need quick turn around as I don't have the space to store for long periods. If you are interested I'm sure we can come to a suitable arrangement. Based West Yorkshire. Many thanks Darran

    I will be getting paid by the customer that contacted me to remove it from his garage. That bit is fine. I just wanted to help him a little that was all and offer him as much advice as i could. Many Thanks for the sppedy replies everyone

    Hi everyone i need a little advice for a customer. The situation is... failed lombardy from neighbouring property to the rear of customer. Tree has snapped at base and landed on detached garage. No one around at property where tree is located then told possibly on holiday. We now have a poplar resting on the garage and we are instructed to remove it to make it safe. Customer now informs me that neighbour is not prepared to pay for the work done to make safe their dangerous tree that has damaged his garage and neighbour says it is an act of god. Where does he stand legally. I thought that the neighbour would be responsible for the tree and would foot the bill as it is on their property and fell into a neighbouring property causing damage. Any info would be great.

    The body type is a 110 hard top
  20. Ackworth Arborists
    Can anyone recommend a company to do the conversion in my area west yorkshire. Many thanks for the info once again
  21. Ackworth Arborists
    Ha Ye sorry sent off the phone. Thanks for the input everyone as it is not a 3500 and the 3050 it does seem a bit pointless if you can't carry hardly anything. I think I will probably save my finances and see how much longer the iveco lasts before the back drops to bits and then maybe have a better back built.
  22. Ackworth Arborists
    I have a 55plate 110 which i am considering converting to a tipper. In peoples experience is it worth it. The truck is immaculate as its been used as a run around to visit sites so wwould make a good coversion candidate and I would use it lots more if it were a tipper. Will I just be wasting my time and money? All your input will be appreciated Cheers
  23. Ackworth Arborists
    Got the courses sorted thanks for all the input its most appreciated
  24. Ackworth Arborists
    Many thanks for the info everyone. Looks like I'm going to sub it out and stay legal.

If i climb then that would mean i have a man on site for a rescue is this correct or very nieve. Many thanks for any info
