  1. Have a tip site about 15 minutes away that I use it's a farm they might have a grain trailer they could hire you, be a damn ite cheaper than a skip, let me know if your interested and I'll make some calls
  2. For sale on eBay, you can buy a log for £8.50. To split your logs on, great idea lol
  3. Thanks for info so far, I've been told if it's an Alko axle I will have to replace th hub nut once removed if this is so where can I get one near Chesterfield?
  4. Yesterday I drove about 5 miles with the handbrake on, after the cable was snagged on a rough dirt track, got home to find chipper wheels smoking, it's a 150 dbh, what do I need to check or replace now? Cheers
  5. Good luck with finding someone, if you ever need an extra climber give me a shout, cheers Simon

  8. He did have the splurged as well but upgraded for larger more powerful machine, browns seem to make good machines
  9. Still has it and is used regularly, bloody good machine, quick and effective, though he has replaced original blade with a stronger one
  10. Hi. Having previously tried to hire a mewp in Chesterfield let me say it wasn't the easiest thing to find, ended up with a mog with a mounted 17 metre picker, not ideal or cheap. But tree work is only one of a mewps many uses so maybe keep your hire options open and good luck

    Hedge wars

    Thought the state the hedge was left in by the barry firm was appalling, I realise there wasn't alot of money on it but did they forget it was being viewed nationwide
  15. Hse might have something to say about other people workin in area not provided with masks, Explain the hazards to your client, making him aware can only help
  16. Sams never gonna be able to drink that cuppa with that mask on. But got to give him points for trying lol
  17. A link to nothing, great!!
  18. Been wearing hiflex for years, not the same pair and yes they have been washed. But they don't seem to last like they used to. So thinking of a change, but theres so many on the market now dont know where to start, moneys tight so want them to last. But they have to be comfortable to climb in, or am I asking too much?

    Turfing tips

    It's turf not Tarmac!!!!
  20. And back to the top again
  21. Still looking, isnt anyone busy in east midlands
  22. Maybe if we continually rang them infomiming them of any dangerous or potentially dangerous tree on their own land they wouldn't have time to do private work
  23. Unfortunately not, last time I did utility work was mid ninties and they didn't exist back then, well not in the way they do now. Would be willing to if there was a guaranteed return on the investment
  24. I'm based in Chesterfield but willing to travel up to hour. Looking for part time, full time or sub contract. I have 15 years experience of all aspects of tree work from planting to crane dismantles. Cheers Simon
  25. Grinder or if that's a bit to heavy handed a dremmel ( other manufacturers make similar tools lol )
