  1. Harsh reduction will make it worse than it is.... Why not look into crown lifting it slightly, possibly thin it out a little or if for asthetics, pull some of the longer growth out on the areas where it sticks out as long as there are some good growth points to bring it back to
  2. Mine Three Top man!! Cheers
  3. I'm with tim on this.... soon as possible i split and store and just keep filling it up
  4. I left my old window sticker one in my old truck when it was sold, i was gutted lol as after getting more tickets, no sticker came through! This pdf version, is it good enough to be blown up so i can have one 14" square etc? even though its oblong lol
  5. do you not know who he works for... lol
  6. Evening all, Just a question about conifer roots..... There is a conifer approx 4ft away from a house, it is 15-18ft tall and has been topped before and then kept in shape. It is 12" dbh. As its close to the house it has grown on a "slight" lean to get to the light, and has put some growth on on the base of the tree nearest to the house, when growing to allow for the slight lean. Any how there is a path between the house and the tree, approx 36" wide, some of the flags have started lifting slightly and become loose, very nearby there is a downspout running down the side of the house for the top water. Customer is concerened about it possible interfering with the drains. Going to have a closer look but what is the likely hood of it interfering with the drains? Would it only affect these if allready damaged... or will pressure from roots expanding cause damage? Obvioursly the path can be altered if the conifer is to remain and not affect the drain. Depends on what the customer wants. Any help would be great. Sorry no pics.
  7. didn't get one and it just tells you where to grease lol
  8. Hi there, just wondering how much grease needs to be put in the rollers on the timberwolf 150? i have greased them in the past, don't want to over grease if thats possible? but heard them a bit today..... need to know so can go put some more grease in them in next half hour ready for tomorrow. CHeers
  9. Excellent!! I was going to bid on a dumper on ebay that had a front loader on it, but was put off by someone who has a dumper and says it wouldn't have much power to drive into a pile of logs or chip??
  10. Looks good I like tinkering aswell one day it would be nice to own a little yard instead of renting one and having a tractor
  11. what sort of security do they insist on? and is that with your pli quote?
  12. Right go it sorted, and got what i invoiced for...... Just had a phone call and needs me again with my truck and my chipper 150 timberwolf. To rent a chipper would be 100-150 a day, so asking an extra 60 quid for the day and the fuel tank filled back up can't be far out can it? Just fitted new blades so will be watching what gets put in!
  13. Lets hope this isn't the case as i have a tree to look at in chorley.... i'll blag them on the phone lol
  14. Not sure, i'm booked one a one day'er at the end of march though....
  15. Thats not your motor is it craig?
  16. Its going to take a long while for the parts bin to fill up with 201t then lol
  17. i had a 1999 020t, so between 2000-2002 they must have changed to 200t's then.
  18. is that a 13hp or 9 hp? Cheers
  19. but for starting out etc and horses for courses etc your other carlton was way more expensive than these..... i'd rather buy a secondhand rayco or dosko or dan equip

    wooo i won

    Lol yeah storing that lot may be a challenge, i'd store it in my bedroom so i knew where it all was, i have a trust issue
  21. thought you wanted to get better at making your cuts meet? If so practice and good technique makes better
  22. what can be done, is if you fell a tree and leave a slightly higher stump you can then do another practice gob underneath
  23. i only ask due to if just scrabble up, the extra friction around branches etc, esp on rough bark species..... ok its the same as prussic method but you body thrust then, my only thought is of the added friction when doing the over arm pulling way, if you get me? arms knackered when you get to top
