  1. Need a hand tomorrow. Got a few trees to sort out and ones on a house not particularly difficult. Let me know Cheers 07841128366
  2. It might stand out too much then though! I'll get some red bits fo whichever one I do end up with!
  3. That would be the plan. The lights might help me see them wabbits. I hope they keep hold of it for another 4 months and then I'll get it. Then I'll haggle them down to £10k!
  4. As a toy. Would replace my French tin can! I'd use it for work related stuff. Maybe dragging things round for fun and using the winch for useful things!
  5. This toy has not long finished on eBay. I can probably find a quarter of what they want for it. Might have to wait forna few months I think! eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
  6. I agree with you Mark. I set up on my own half way though college with very little experience. I've made a few cock ups on jobs where I've run low on pay for myself or it's taken longer than I wanted. But I've never lost money. Seems to be a lucky guess most of the time and it does take a few tries to get the pricing somewhere on the money! Price for a quality service aswell. I do emphasise this too sometimes when people umm and arr on a price. I say if you get a gardener or someone cheap in you'll get what you pay for. Get an arborist who knows trees and what to do in and you'll get lsome tidy looking stumps at the end of it!
  7. I'll be up for that Happily share fuel!
  8. along banks of rivers you want to stem inject as it contains the chemical. Stem injection is highly labour intensive but is effective if you get all the stems.
  9. we grit liverpool seaforth docks. will be the 3rd year running this winter. It gets crazy, we shifted 150 tons of grit a week last year! aswell as that we sell christmas trees, thats been going around 30 years now.
  10. Chilli con carne?
  11. You then have to disinfect them too! We hired a mini digger for one job. All the soil went into bags and it was carried out over polythene into a skip! It's horrible stuff to deal with!
  12. Spray it when it flowers with glyph @20l/ha. Basic rate of 5l/ha will not be effective and will just burn off the leaves. Cutting Is a very labour intensive process. Cut and cut all through the growing season every 2 weeks at most until no new growth appears. Other than that dig it out. 3m down and 6m all the way round. All soil sent off to special waste disposal sites in covered wagons which are then disinfected.
  13. hmm certainly a contender for the airstreams, if i needed a new pair id look at these if they are similar money. it would make a change from having everything red!
  14. those pens are brilliant. especially the african blackwood one! love the grain.
  15. they will post to professional users, ask jonesie or the others, im sure they will be able to sort something.
  16. is it not easier to find someone with a tractor like a valmet or simlar machine with a timber grab? would be easier and can move round site quicker. Even a tractor with a loader can be effective
  17. If you load the pages up in safari then click add to bookmarks and press add to home screen. It saves them as an app icon and is just a bookmark! Very handy for sites you go on a lot
  18. Yeah. It worked out that I took 10 cube from you!
  19. been log bashing all week, got the tractor set up with the splitter now so we should have most of it done by the weekend! did 4 hours of hand splitting while the tractor was out working and then had 20 minutes on the splitter and did a quarter of what 3 of us did all day!
  20. Weve got a few chestnuts around here starting to turn, one near the house is half yellow and some are just showing fringes of yellow now, however, one right outside my window which is a fairly exposed place, all the wind gets it through the yard, is showing only brown patches on the leaves which i assume are wind scorch? no yellowing leaves yet on that! couple of conkers though! is this normal or is a sign of something nasty?
  21. ah, ive walked past the truck umpteen times in the past 3 days but not looked in. i will look tomorrow dont worry! whoopsie :]
  22. helmets but not the visor and ear defenders are vat exempt, as are boots. Gloves im not sure, i pay vat where i get mine from.
  23. myerscough take people here, they took us lot and its a nice little shop hes got there, selling chainsaw pants at stupid prices! boots too. definately a look if your in the area and want some kit.
  24. I'll get some today. The fan needs to have a hole in the centre of 8mm It's the professional bench grinder. It's actually badged as a precision tooling speed sharp, but is the same as the 511ax I believe Here it is PRECISION TOOLING - PRODOTTI - SPEED SHARP STAR
  25. Hi mate yeah the canopy was custom built by gamic trailers in Wales. It's very similar to an ifor Williams canopy but with added doors on the side. Cheers
