    I've had a pair for a couple of years now. Really good especially in summer as I can sometimes struggle with over heating feet.

    Hi Mike, Have you thought about doing a few days (holiday from your office job) or some weekend work to test the water and see if tree work suites you? When I started out many moons ago I called round all the local tree firms until I found one that was willing to give me a trial on Saturdays, it worked out and I've done trees ever since. You'll get a lot of knock backs for sure, but thats the first test to know if you want it enough. I'm sure you'll find something as you're looking at a big area.

    Yes all true I'd say, but he still made some very good observations and seemed to have an understanding of the problems that face working people to this day. He was also a terrible husband and father by all accounts. If you look at social economic models in Germany and Austria they have a lot of respect for him and often name streets and social housing developments after him because he inspired those countries to look after some of the less fortunate workers that could have been marginalised and left behind by their wealthy employers. The idea being that if they take care of them to a point then they wouldn't turn to violent revolution or Communism.

    Yeah I know a lot of people only read stuff that comes with pictures!

    Marx's ideas may well be misused and twisted from his original observations by many different people. But a lot of what he said is still very relevant today especially as computers and robots take over from working people. Sorry i haven't got a meme to make my point with!

    Amber Rudd showed the true party line when she tried to justify arms sales to Saudi. Basically anything goes as long as big multinational firms can make lots of money.

    Due to the Government's significant budget deficit, the national debt is increasing by approximately £73.5 billion per annum, or around £1.4 billion each week.[2] The Conservatives pledged in 2010 that they would eliminate the deficit by the 2015-16 financial year.[3] However, by 2014 they admitted that the structural deficit would not be eliminated until the financial year 2017/18.[4] This forecast was pushed back to 2018/19 in March 2015, and to 2019/20 in July 2015,[5] before the target of a return to surplus at any particular time was finally abandoned by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne in July 2016.[6]

    May's lost any credibility she may have had. I think people are starting to work out that the Tories are taking the piss and have been for a long time.

    Apparently it costs the NHS £5620 to do a hip replacement. sounds good value to me.

    Well said Steve It would be like selling your own house to a property letting firm at a big discount. Then renting it off them at full market value. Can't see that catching on, but the Tories have sold the idea to an awful lot of people.

    cool, sounds good. If i hear of any free tip sites in the meantime I'll let you know.

    great, thanks for posting

    Thanks for all the feedback guys, I'm going to have a look at a tw160 at my local dealers later in the week, see what I think. Then just need to take the plunge at some point I guess.

    Hi Swinny, Just been reading up a little. Yes the bearings are now greasable. Fins are now steel and the blades are bigger and double sided. Opening is also a bit bigger. The 125 is lighter but only by 50kg or so. The Rotor is slightly lighter on the new TW160 and the rpm is lower also. Not being a tech/mechanic type I'm not sure how this will affect performance?
  19. Dan
    Sounds good Matt. I don't really need a bigger chipper, and its good to be able to push it about on tour own if needed. A friend of mine has got the TW230 and its really good, but just seems so big and heavy compared with my chipper. Lower purchase cost is good of course but what about cost of fuel? the diesel engines don't need much juice compare to my current chipper which has a 25hp kolher petrol engine.
  20. Dan
    keep us updated on how you get on please. What sort of price are they?
  21. Dan
    I'm not sure on price, Arblease are offering them at £165+vat per month. but no real details on deposit or length of lease etc.

    Hi All, Most of my work is small domestic arb work. I've been using a TW 150/25 for a few years now and it serves my needs very well. I'm thinking of getting a newer machine and the new TW160 seems to fit my needs. Have any of you got one or used one? Can you give me any feedback or reviews please. Many Thanks Dan

    Hi All Due to increased work load I need some extra help, starting in mid September. I run a small Tree surgery business in Suffolk working mostly for domestic clients near Bury St Edmunds. I would like to to take on an experienced (2yrs min) climber for possibly three days a week, either as a subby or on the books. It could be more days as things progress. Or if any contract climbers have days they would like to fill on an ad hock basis this could also work. I would also be interested in taking on a beginner as a groundy to start with the possibility to progress to climbing in the future. If you think this might be of interest please give me a call or pm me to discuss in more detail. 07865 399401 or 01359 271477 Many thanks Dan
