  1. Do you leave it on the trailer? sorry to hear about it!
  2. Evening, Just wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to why this acer is dying Part of the crown stayed dormant 40-50 % 35% come out then died off and only approx 15% living foliage left. I have only seen the tree today, and its due to come out but was wondering what could have caused this? There are 3 other acers on the site that are fine, wind comes from a different direction to that of the foiliage death, grounds ok, not waterlogged or too dry, nothing near the base of the tree, no signs on the bark other than some orange covering, seen other tree's with this and theyre ok, must be due to environment conditions. I'm thinking bacteria or fungi affecting cambium? Also this is in a conservation area, i know usually you have to notify of intent of works, but its just its not dead yet but will be and if it was dead it could be removed... so what would be best in this situation? was going to speak to the to anyway. Cheers

  6. Good machines the old vermeer! I bought a 620i but payed 1700 quid for it, used it for a year and still sold it for 1700 quid! lol Brilliant chipper! if work was really good i'd have kept it for that much money
  7. About 300 quid a month for a new tw 150, with a 1500 deposit. 300.00 a month is a lot to small businesses, just watch out as you can end up just going to work just to pay bills and thats all...
  8. Hi there, got some tree's to plant, and a hedge row soon. I'm planning to plant with compost, hedge row will be done when root ball plants are avaliable, so will be turning the soil over and putting some good ness back in Anyhow just wondering if there are different types of compost? or do you use something else? peat etc?

  20. are they that bad? i have a hs80 with a 30" cut on and it gets heavy after a bit of throwing it around lol
  21. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/46118-atlas-cedar-health.html My thread about atlas cedar also with same symptoms, only one reply lol but informative
  22. Seen the weak spot on the impulse line, carb gauze clear. will have a good look at it
  23. It wouldn't run long enough to get warmed up only 5 seconds or so.... also lifted that limiter cap off to adjust the h but no help for the revs at this point Also though it may have been a small seize or starting to seize slightly but a problem elsewhere, thats why it maintained the 150psi compression
  24. Recently got another 200t spares repairs. Anyhow it would fire but not rev or idle etc. I checked comp it was 150psi, Spark plug was wrong one and loose, so replaced that. It has a carb with the adjustment restrictor cap on the H setting screw. Tried a different carb but still the same, took it to bits to see some scoring on the exhaust side of the piston, there is a little score to the cylinder and the piston didn't seem to bad but my question is, surely it should have run better or done something with 150psi compression? Or even though piston scored slightly, 150psi means its still ok and something else is up? Needless to say i'll be getting a fresh piston sorted, mostlikely a meteor one. Has anyone prices an original one up if so what was the price? Cheers Ears
  25. Good luck and a cracking outfit there Is there someone with a similar name near ripon?
