Yeah shes a lux. If you put greedy sides on their quite good but you ain't got no tipper so that can suck sometimes. Thinking of changing it for a transit.. But my yard gets really wet in winter so may get another lux and trailer (tipper) combo. They hide weight really well unlike some transit types. Also i've nearly killed her, broken rad, 3 diff seals gone, rear prop drive leaking, and she survived some tool crashing into me in the ice. So i think maybe shes not going to pass a mot...

It was 4 and a half loads of chip, 2 loads of wood and 1 load of rakings + one beloved broom broken:thumbdown:.

Twice the price on ivy and get a subby in to climb it too. Save you the swearing whilst trying to get to the top.

Nice:thumbup1: Thinking outside the box there, natural stumps used very well.

Reduction should be good get the lever arm as far down as you dare. Also maybe install a cobra bracing system if moneys no too tight on the job. Maybe its compressed organic matter in the fork?

A small reduction of some conifers. P.S the cherries in the conifers was the homeowners attempt at tree work. And a Nice couple of pics of cherry blossom

Ok you need to treat it as two seperate pieces of timber as such. E.G a piece of timber which has 45 degree angle. Place your ladder at one end towards the angle Level it up and cut. Once your mill cuts on the bend remove the mill and place the ladder from the bend to the uncut end and finish up. (you may need to cut some high spots down to get the levels to match up). Enjoy cutting.

If thats the case i guess not to worry. Don't want to clutter it up.

No 4 had me trying to remember for a few minutes.... Then i couldn't remember so grabed one of my many fungi books and told myself off because i should of know it.

Also if you purchase a mill from Rob D on here you get a sheet of A4 which tells you how to mill irregular shaped timber.

Website redesign what do i need
Ian Flatters replied to TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX's topic in Business Management
Why not check out other peoples website and get some ideas?? -
What are you using to do the cuts, Mill or freehand?

Also i'd put your mobile on it. If its 2 doors down and you've finished the job, you go home, check your message and have to drive all the way back again.

Today i had someones flyer pop through my door 1) it was tiny just bigger than a buisness card but high quality print. 2) Had the nptc logo on it and 5 mill insurance, 0800 no but no address 3) Called themselves tree surgeons but littered the back of the flyer with other products and services Bee hive starter kit £200 Bee hives, wasp nests Removed, Rats, mice, foxes humainly removed. 4) Because it was so small everything looked cluttered I wasn't sure if they were tree surgeons But the company was .... Tree Care Maybe they should of had 2 flyers instead of 1?

Agreed its better to have £100 of something than 100% of nothing. Also if im working in a new area or a village for the 1st time and the job is on the main road/busy street i lower my costs a bit. Still make profit tho, but its if people see you then they may ask for a quote.
