  1. i took the misses and kids in to see major oak last weekend. I only go really to look at all the other oak trees nearby as they have more of a natural setting and far more interesting in my opinion.
  2. I would want a little "blood money" on top of that one.
  3. Try to borrow customers hosepipe for conservatory. Here it would have been washed away before you were back on the ground yesterday.
  4. Andrew, Welcome to the forum, We find builders bags can be easier and quicker to move hedge clippings than using a chipper especially if its a rear garden or fine clippings. Smaller bags are harder and slower to fill unless its really fine clean clippings. Leylandii clippings in builders bags are heavy anyway 1/4 full is plenty for one man. If they are going to sit in the bags for a few days it may be worth covering them as they get heavier when wet. I used to do nearly all our hedgecutting myself until last year when i developed acute tenosynovitis in my left wrist from a big bad hedge that took a few long days. Now the lads are well skilled in the arts of hedgetrimming. Regards Andrew.
  5. we always take shute off unless just moving around on site. The reason i bought the proper replacement bracket was because i was concerned that if it broke any more or my botched bit anything falling down the inside of the shute would be dangerous to the chipper, blades and anyone unlucky enough to be in back of the truck. stones are bad enough luckily not had a blade shatter yet.
  6. we welded a big bolt on ours but eventually it broke and new one was about 30 quid from redwoods but still have to use a hammer
  7. if its legit it does not take visa which is used by most uk banks. also how good are you when it comes to communicating in danish if it goes pear shaped?
  8. hesaying rob is worth his money and does enough in a day to justify his price.
  9. proper groundie can do the ropes, rigging and organise the brash draggers:001_tt2:
  10. you would nye on get 2 for that round here!!
  11. i could find odd day at that sort of rate, does your chipper like 5" wet conifer?
  12. find the chassis plate and contact the manufacturer for parts and hope its not vermeer. or find local trailer specialist to sort it as your brakes will not last very long if you leave it.
  13. fr jones will sort that. screw gate are a pita. Three way is standard kit these days although fall-arrest harness often have a huge karabiner attached already.
  14. Sub it to your local stumpbusters!!!
  15. ideal! both and burn the birch first
  16. Huck you are as sensitive as a bull in the china shop. Quite true though:thumbup:
  17. good idea thanks, at least they cannot pinch it again if they come back.
  18. It was a citroen relay tipper. It happened 4am i heard some noise, stuck my head out of the bedroom window listened heard nothing, shut the window and went back to sleep gutted
  19. Had the cat stolen off the truck last night. Luckily the truck was totally empty so no kit gone. Local police say they are getting up to ten reported daily.
  20. looks like his sore thumb. bet that hurt silky by any chance?
  21. From pics looks like a £250 -£300 should be Done by lunchtime. His job clearing up the heap of brash and wood will take the most time if he has no chipper.
  22. always makes me itch a bit but never worn a mask and i have done a few.. ps. I hate ivy removal jobs
  23. i would attempt to gain access to the field then lift it out with big teleporter and cut up on the ground as long as it was fairly local.
  24. my car(is220d) did an epic 52mpg on a 400 mile round trip last year, but really does 40mpg on short trips and realistic driving. The truck does about half that at best.
  25. there was a limb to the right at one stage in its life.
