    Ad Blue

    Who runs a vehicle that also uses ad blue? pros & cons...Pump price or in bulk? ive heard it only has a 12 month shelf life
  2. Ganoderma? extensive decay at the base of the tree which has caused it to fail .
  3. Uniforest 14 BMF road tow for us, had a few minor issues with it but are now sorted through Riko. Not found anything it wont go through yet, 1 man can do 10 ibc cages steady away on his own

    Brit Tipp

    Are Brit tipp any good? received a quote on Friday to build an arb body on a Isuzu Grafter, its expensive!
  8. We have got 2 rescue cats but they prefer to lay infront of the fire most of the time
  9. Looks good, im pappy, dont wanna kill them...just relocate them
  10. We have got mice in the back garden, i thought they were living in hay bales in the shed but we emptied it yesterday and found nothing! my gf has 2 rabbits that have the run of the garden, i have seen the mice run up the garden and take some of the rabbits food so i know this is why they are around, i have moved the food but dont know how to get rid of them? i cant put traps out because of the rabbits and we also have 2 cats! any ideas?
  11. Hang mans noose I think, not sure if there is another name for it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  12. If my 90 transit will pull 2.1 tonne & kit & men "probably not above board" im sure you will be fine.
  13. If all them leaves fell on folks lawns around here they would probably have it felled so they didn't have to collect them up!
  14. You will find that some people can be complete arse holes the more you work in arb! people either love the fact that your killing trees or they hate it and compare you to the devil! jo public hates to have to walk more than necessary, they also dislike having to park their car 20 feet away from the spot they usually park in and you putting barrier tape cones etc will make their blood boil:sneaky2: We once closed a side road off for around 30 mins while we worked on some trees, ive never had so much abuse and bullshit stories of why they had to go down this road "it was a cut through and you could walk around but would take an extra 3 mins" old boy in a mobility scooter called me all the names under the sun, lads were knocking bit tops over the road on purpose but he still wanted to go through! in the end i put my boot against his wheel so he couldn't move and politely told him to go around Folk don't see the danger but you let them walk through your work area and they get hurt and they will be straight in that solicitors office
  15. cheers
  16. Can you pm it to me please, it may come in handy. I thought Wakefield was hard to find but i dont actually think its on there!
  17. Does anyone have a link to Calderdale Councils TPO application form? i have looked for an hour but it still evades me
  18. Yeah same as, just different brand on tree kit i think, my friend has some attached with fishermans and have being fine, they wont be hammered.
  19. Seen some rigging rings on treekit, question is what size rope do i need for the rings? i was planning to attach them with a fishermans, i know this is not the strongest but will only be used for light rigging/ redirects.
  20. Paslode for me, never had a problem with it, fixings aren't cheap but just price them in the job
  21. That sounds like it would work, sure if it ever did go bang i would find a way to shift it. Wouldnt want to damage it even further by doing something daft.
  22. Speaking from experience?
  23. Not rate cracking, sold 14 cages so far! its getting colder though.
  24. Ha ha...speaking hypothetically
