  1. yeh never thought of that ! i wish id taken a few more shots but as usual you never seem to bother at the time , yes its greenmech .not mine though ! the guy i was subbying to was on hols is austrailia so was using his . on the second day there was a guy about to throw himself off the cliffs , yoiu could see him real clearly leaning over edge :thumbdown:lifeboats ,helicopters the lot ! 17 hours of police negotiations and he came away only to be found on top the local post office roof and hour later
  2. cheers ! we had 10 days work from the council down there and the weather was superb :thumbup1:how we managed to get any work done with all the women rollerbalding past is beyond me though
  3. never got a very first shot of the euc but the one on the left looked like the one on the right to begin with , theyve been hacked in the past so i was pretty pleased with the outcome , 3rd piccy is of a big elm fell that had dd and 6/7 pic was a lovely day at the seafront !
  4. lovely looking leather that ! gota get back in to it !
  5. will be definatly bearing that in mind nick to be honest this is a little bit out of the norm for us ! weve done some pretty big nasty emls before but this tops it i think ! the last contractors have let them down and theres so much work on this site that it would be a good one to get , previous company clear felled a load more trees and they pulled the stumps out the ground and piled them all together , the site manager reckons there is 21 artic loads worth to clear but no where to take it , so i think the guy i work with has someone coming in with a tub grinder ? i should have taken a picture of that lot ! it would of brought a tear to you eye
  6. think if memory serves me its a rayco rg100 ?? , theres so much work to be had on this site it would be to good not to get in on loads more cutting to be had
  7. the picture really doesnt do it justice ! its enormous !
  8. id love to turn up with a pedestrian grinder and see there faces
  9. well its guy i work for when we do the street tree stumps (elms mainly) and he reckons he can with the help of a digger moving the grindings as we go !! weve done some pretty nasty stumps before but i think this will be biggest lol ! the trunk sold for 3 grand !!
  10. got given a phone number last week by a chap who drinks in a pub on the corner of where i live ,he told me he had a mate working on a site that needs a few stumps ground out , !! i thought ok great probably a few conny stumps buried in a load of soil surrounded by builders rubbish so you can imagine my surprise to turn up and see this one !! it measured 6.2 METRES across !!!( not around) just across ! definatly one for the album
  11. il take the good stuff ! just not loads of conny ! 07890567274
  12. if you can afford one from one of those places you should be fine ! nenes got some lovely ones ,stick with a 300 tdi happy hunting
  13. i thought it was a great ,! doesnt deserve to get hit by a bus at all , lighten up people !
  14. im trying to think of where they are ? i might be nosey tomorrow and hve a drive !lol :001_smile:wish i could help with the chip mate , 10 quid a tons not to bad though if your really stuck is it ?
  15. glad you got sorted , was it a big job then ? 3 am that sucks !! they must charge some to come all that way ,
  16. theres quite a few allotments that take it but all the companys i sub to use them and they,ve probably got loads , must be a good job to travel 300 miles for ! ive been deadwooding pines in willingdon all week funnily enough !
  17. yeh they do your right , probabaly around 50 quid a load though ! i cant stand going in there ! a right bunch of arrogant knobs ! but yes that is an option ,
  18. when ive come home everynight this week and piss the missus of by saying , "oooohhh i think ive caught the sun again you know !"
  19. i ,live in eastbourne so how about you just pass the job on to someone local to save you the hassle of a 300 mile journey ! not sure of a place you could tip in eastbourne as most of the companys have there yards about 30 mins away , the council have a chip yard about 5 mins from where your working but are a bit touchy about who uses it , il have a think !
  20. so once the outer layer is ripped your saying that they should be replaced ??? im not sure i inderstand that correctly ? i presume you mean stitching patches directly to the kevler will stop them from working propally ,
  21. just had a browse of you web site and that picture under the section of "working with sherbrook tree services " is absolutly awsome !! that tree looks well dead ! how high was it ?
  22. do you mean it was on the end of the lowering line that went round the limb and clipped back on to itself ?? and when you say shock of the tree do mean it was snatching on it ?
  23. crikey ! at first i thought i was the chipper that had come off but the underside of the trucks fallen off ! ... bugger !
  24. i also have a few sets ,no problem at at all !:thumbup1:although one thing i will say is that i have just bought two genuine sets from orangeplant as there was only 20 quid difference in price when i enquired , so i went withthe genuine ones .
  25. worth taking a loss for imo ,not many people would get that oppertunity ! doing a good job on this could mean many more on your own :thumbup1:and if you do you should definatly get a vid of that ! thats something to put in your video for yell im jelous good on ya mate :001_smile:best of luck with it all
