The way I see it is either don't go over your permitted axle weights, or if you must, then steer well clear of known places where their funny battenberg painted skoda estates are sat up.

This job maybe all above board, but I can usually smell big trouble a mile away, and this could be one of them. Proceed with caution my friend.

If they weighed that load of scrap in, that would cut out the middle man.

You are quackers Gerard

Good response my friend, we seem to come across complete twerps on an almost weekly basis. Neighbor from hell last week was lucky he caught my foreman on a good day or would have been lamped, and I had a customer from hell this morning.

We were knocking over and dismantling mature Connies yesterday, my climber had had enough of it by 2 o clock, the brash draggers had problems keeping upright after mid morning, and I was blinking glad when I turned my chipper off and folded it up at 3. Seldom have I drunk more water.

The biggest change I've made to my style of climbing, is I now simply pay people who are very good at it to climb for me. -
Those straight cuts are quite impressive

I've found that some sort of chain saw is often quicker than an axe and bow saw

Unbelievable.

If I hear him on the radio or see him on tv, then I have always switched to something else. I thought when he got the tg job, that of all the likeable people to chose from in the world of entertainment, the beeb went and chose him.

I mistakenly pulled into the local one with my transit tipper, didn't even manage to get out of the cab before the hi-vis guards pointed to the exit, so that was that.

I will keep a lookout over this side, you never know.

I go back a long way, but I can't remember forestry handcutting ever paying a 'good' day rate. Many have retired with nothing in the bank, and only a bad back to show for it.

Will we still be allowed to continue our progress in Euro 2016, or will they send us home now ?

Big k at Whittington have a massive operation there now,I would thing one of biggest players in the country. Kriss started off more than 30 years ago from very humble beginnings,and built it all up .

Spud gave my 660 the full treatment a few weeks ago - it cuts like an 880 now and can be heard 3 villages away 🙂

How tall would you say this Hedge is?

The connie hedge, bread and butter to many hedge men and part time tree surgeons up and down the country. -
Perhaps she wanted to germinate some laurel bushes from scratch? 🙂

Worth a 'punt' Eggs.

Most of us in the tree game know to treat laurel leaf chip with a small degree of respect, but for a customer to go off at you like that is barmy. Glad I'm not the only one with mad customers.

I believe that you can get tablets for it, which may help.

To draw £50k in wages for yourself out of the business, I suspect there is either a blinking lot of tree work to do in your area, or that you have little competition. These are figures I can only dream about,and I reckon I'm not alone on here. Fair play to you to achieve that.

I like it when a householder stands nearby, hardly able to contain himself that you're going to balls it up, and you do it in one . They usually say something like " ah I can see that you've done that before" as you get out of the cab.

It's nice to take pride in being able to reverse into tight spots. Well done there Johny.
