Utilities especially if you are stump grinding or working close to power lines.

How many Stihl blowers would it take to make one of these?

To answer your question - one was enough for my son's hamster, but we needed five for our cat. -

Perish the thought, but should your ropes ever fail at least you will have a bit of control on the way down. But seriously, that looks like a load of fun. Keep on enjoying it! When will you do a free-fall jump? -
You've not read the arb trolley threads then?

The quality of work and the lies are an issue but £50? If I go out, do the RA paperwork, get the gear out of the van, climb, cut, drag, chip, tidy, drive to next job - I'd want more than £50 to do one branch (maybe only £60 for 5 branches) but the cost sounds OK to me. That's why a lot of us have a minimum charge. theres no such thin as a 5 minute job. If you charge say £24 per hour then a 5 minute job is 1/12 of that ..... £2.00 - NFL!

Valhalla! Go Stefan and do your Hagar the Horrible impression. Sounds like he desrves it.

The OP didn't say what he p[lans to do there. If he just wants it deep enough to turf over, or just below ground level. I wouldn't dream of trying to dig it out, and with a narrow access I'd be towards 3 figures.

That's well out of order.... no wonder they aint interested when a chipper goes missing. And... apart from todays news about the three policemen charged with pinching £30,000 during raids (for which they are on trial so it may not even be true), ... when did you last hear of any dishonesty in the police force? Better keep your speed down for a few days.

I'm going to release a game where you can hack into these games and nick the chainsaws and chippers. Then you guys can take revenge using GTA and the like. Much less hassle than real life and nobody really loses anything. Realistic.

The problem with electric powered tools is there is no carburretor to require re-tuning/cleaning/replacing at your local dealer. Best if you run them on Aspen electricity.

By my rubbish calculations that is £2,000 per person in the UK What are these migrants doing? drinking gold? I guess there are stats to support any view you want to hold. If we were to tax all foreigners living outside the UK maybe we could balance the books.

Souldn't let 'em in the country! Foreign logs, I mean.

Some people's satisfaction level reflects how much they paid and they turn a blind eye to the bodges (as someone said before - do they even realise its a bad job). I have a close relative who will cycle all over town to get the cheapest of everything. If they end up with grissly horid tasting meat they don't care as long as was cheap. NEVER worry about customers like this. Eventually someone will tell them it was a rubbish job. Just keep working to your standards and your prices and the right sort of customer will come to you. Here endeth todays lesson....

Is it the front or rear seal? Which engine is it? It can only get worse over time.

If, like us neanderthals in Sussex you don't have weighing scales or the like, you could cut a rough cube (any size will do) and put it in water. If it floats about half way up then it is half the density of water so 1m3 would weigh half a metric ton (500kg). If it drops down 3/4 of its sides then it is 750kg, etc.... If it sinks - bugger. It's over 1 ton per m3 Oh for the simple life.

The last person I know who used the word chore lived in a caravan. He told me it means something obtained by less than legal means.

Just imagine if the flywheel locking mechanism went belly up and locked while the chipper is running? I've never had the need to lock the flywheel but doubtless there are machines where it helps.

Why not mount it on a turntable onthe back of a 3.5 GVW chassis cab (Landy, Nissan, your favourite). Then seek advice from Mr Ploggs on a suitable 3.5 ton tipping trailer and Robert is the brother of one of your parents.

Silly question but has anyone reported it to the local 'nothing we can do till it is reported stolen' club?

How much for 'Debbie does Dallas'?

Got me thinking today is there any used ifor tipper out there thanks
Shane replied to mendiplogs's topic in Arb-Trucks
Why not ask for opinions on new trailers and see what people say? I read somewhere that Brian James are pretty good, though my Ying Tong tinfoil trailer holds several cubic feet and was quite cheap at Halfords. -
Was that pun intentional?
