If I was buying my first chipper again I'd look at buying a new tw 125 or something similar. Put that 3 grand towards then tick the rest! Repayments wouldn't be that much. I'd never buy a second hand chipper again! But that's just my owwn opinion.

thanks for all your comments i know sacking him was the best thing to do and 2bh today i think ive done more work on my own anyway! however i know i cant manage on my own. ive already advertised the job on here so hopefully i will get a good lad out of it. all i want is someone whos not afraid of work im a bit of a slave driver but i would never expect someone to do something i couldnt and id rather work hard get stuck in then home early. dont need some idiot risking mine and everyone around them's safety just IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

After taking an apprentice on 5 months ago I was outraged to discover he had been taking drugs whilst on site @ work! This was while I was dismanteling a row of large connifers down the side of a main road! He was completely out of it couldn't speak and was falling infront of on comming traffic! If it wasn't for the actions of my father he would of caused serious injury! I've bent over backwards for this lad! Picked him up dropped him off spent hours an hours training him up! I've spent just over a grand on ppe work wear and a new saw for him to use. I sacked him instantly which has left me right in the **** work wise. Has this happend to anyone before? And what was your reaction?

Yes but what if I wanted to use the other end of my climbing line
-
For example if I was on the outer edge of a long limb and I wanted to use the other end of my climbing line for stability
-
How do I triangulate my line when climbing on a spiderjack?

I got my groundie some 5 month ago and they seem to be going ok.

Why is this monkey puzzle full of dead limbs? Even the ones that look healthy are starting to go brown on the tips! And some of the dead ones have small scars on them?
-
Yes they are. Wish I had treated them before! Lesson learnt

I felled 4 lombardy poplars a few months ago and ground stumps out about a foot below ground level. Now where the root system extends across the lawn there's new growth poking through. What chemical would be best to apply?
-

-
what should the root protection zone be for a mature copper beech?
-

yeah ive gotta go look at it first. and will go speak to golf course before we do any work just to cover myself. like andy says its a good idea to introduce myself to the golf course.
-
Ive gotta look at a job tomorrow. the customer told me on the phone that his garden backs onto a golf course and there are a few trees on the land belonging to the golf course that are growing so close to his house he wants them taking down. the golf course has said thats they can be taken down as long as he pays for the work doing. im wundering if the trees are causing a problem who should cover the cost? golf course or customer?
-
well thats thrown a spanner in! enough room to drive in and turn round!
-
