  1. Is the new echo top handle proving a good saw? Need to replace my 200, and not impressed with 201, 540 ain't all that either! Cheers
  2. Vacuum and air work different, think rb44 run on a ratchet hand brake so wouldn't be affected by low pressure , if the gauge is going up to 100 the vacuum is pulling the brakes on without being actuated, if that makes sense , possibly a sticky valve somewhere in the system

  6. Out of curiosity how do you assess a multi office company like Glendale ? Each individual depot/area? Standards must vary across a behemoth like that surely ?
  7. He s helping do the work he's been asked to do, I sub for quite a few firms and would never try and pass the job off as my own, what's the next step, handing out your card to the client? It's a lack of respect IMO
  8. Without being critical I would have been happier setting a chain on each side slightly higher, makes for a more level lift, less risk of it swinging about,

  15. Phew, was wondering what to do with that 200 tons of processor sized ash cord!
  16. IMO a decent telehandler is the most versatile tool for tree work, a man cage and decent operator can be much faster than a cherry picker, only downside is they ain't the tidiest machines for pristine lawns! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  17. Beat me to it Hodge!
  18. Probably cheapest to hire a chipper and do it yourself, if you get some one in make sure all the brash is stacked neatly and all facing the same way, a big jumbled tangled mess = ££££
  19. I'm on my second weaver, got 10 years out of first one, it looked rough as but nothing was about to break
