  1. get one of these :thumbup1:its legally road towable and pretty eas to move by yourself too , ive taken it to quite few jobs
  2. i dont get how people say landrovers are unreliable ? ive had 6 over the last ten years and not one of them has let me down ? ,i reckon they get the reputation for being unreliable as there are so many more working landrovers out there more than any other 4x4 and take more abuse and need a little maintenance from time to time , the people who end up buying knackered landrovers are the poeple who buy the ones covered in lights and snorkals and havnt got a clue about anything else .
  3. have you looked at a company called siamax trading , there based in heathfeild area i think ? but dont qoute me on that i keep toying with getting mine done . i think they qouted around 2 grand . a freind had his ranger done there and it looks good
  4. i think i missed the story on the RJ ?

  9. thanks mate,i drive past this tree everyday going to my yard and i cant wait to see it in leaf
  10. the cake was so light and fluffy i could have floated to the tips ... although the two marsbars, coronation chicken sandwich and pack of watsits i had before that wouldnt have helped
  11. cheers guys , although forgot to add chipper battery died and had left leads in missus car so we unfortunalty had to sit around drinking tea and eating homemade banana cake for a whole hour until they were delivered
  12. another nice job today , made the most of this one ! lovely tree to climb and chipper right by tree the gods were shining on us as it poured with rain all around us but not on us ! happy days .... oh and got a bacon sandwich for lunch too
  13. isnt it weird sometimes when youve literally thought or looked at something sometimes and then moments later someone mentions it ! scary ! i drove past that tree yesterday and thought to myself i bet some work gets done to that soon !
  14. wallenstein are awsome! and andrew is a good chap to deal with
  15. good call on the andre thing ! say no more
  16. yes mate , youve probably seen me i drive a white landy hi cap , sometimes with signs on and sometimes without , i do a lot of climbing for a couple of council contractors in eastbourne . did you do a bit for andre ?
  17. town and country arnt you ? some real good reductions there mate ,welcome to arbtalk
  18. i know the cut you mean and i snapped i nice point off with elbow id been looking at for ages ! i hate it when that happens
  19. cheers hama , im guessing those cuts would be on last willow ?
  20. couple of jobs this week ,glorious weather and nice customers loads of tea and cakes ,jobs a good un
  21. what do they have the rope anchored to ? , id be worried bout the rope grating against the rock still looks bloody good fun though
  22. but most companies probably have someone with areil rescue dont they , the 4 i sub to do any way so i coldnt see it being a problem
  23. if your sick your sick , some people cope better than others and if you have a sniffly cold your better off going to work ,but if you got full blown man flu or sickness bug then rest is more important , ive had food poisening this weekend from a chicken kebab friday night ! i still feel fraglie so tommorow ive organised an easyer day , few logs ,price a few jobs walk dogs and early home :thumbup1:i wont climb till i feel ive got my energy back , everybody gets sick its life and not worth worrying about
  24. ditto + 1
  25. i would definatly reduce from top down as you can see you growth point you want to be cutting to a lot better , also if you have stuff on the ground you dont want to damage (i.e plants, pots etc etc ) most of the stuff you cut wiill lay on branches below and use it as a catch till you climb down and pull em out to throw them where you want , a good groundsman though is always good the first few you get up in your probably spend the first 30 mins looking confused and just staring at branches thinking to yourself where the hell to start once you get the hang of your love it :thumbup1:Defo use a silky and the best thing ive ever picked up from working with different people is to get your self a good pair of secauters and holder clip to your harness , there great for little fiddly bits and annoying bits that get stuck in your earmuffs !
