One or two with loppers, no problem but when you’re talking hundreds then absolutely not!

Don’t know about the politics there, but most certainly there will be another huge wave of asylum seekers coming our way no matter what transpires ☹️

Oh definitely- no problem at all. It’s just the occasional ones when there’s no one home, no access to sockets that it becomes a problem. Its happened enough times to me that I check at the quoting stage, along with making sure all dog mess will be picked up before we start 👍

Assuming the customer has outside power point or is at home to access sockets. I carry 5 batteries and on occasion have used them all

Basildon! Though everyone has a nearby town like this I guess 😂

I thought exactly this, but then if rubbish is put in bins responsibly, anyone with a grudge, or for a laugh could take it out and fly tip it getting the buyer reported

Any trees you could put a trail camera on? Get some footage then try and id?

I was only subbing with my truck,chipper and tools but originally they were just to have a light prune, thin and take out any crossed branches. When we arrived the customer added reducing the height into the spec. Cost them a bit more which they were fine with. Got finished just as the heavens opened 😁

Wouldn’t be without it - these skinny birch’s won’t take the weight of the climber so easy to go round them with Fiskars loppers 👍

Nice easy Birch and apple pruning today, Beech hedge to trim yet. Lovely view from the driveway across the estuary as well 😁

The FSI B22 is 14hp, same as Predator/Laski 360sw. From memory I believe Tycorrigan runs one of these. I have the Predator and it has earned its price many times over. I also have an HB20, about the same size as the 460 but it only gets used maybe 5% of the time. The self drive is very handy though.

Morning all 👍 11 stumps this morning, 8 down, 3 to go but I got hungry so having last nights Chinese. Onto the leaner we postponed from Saturday after this - just got to get in on ground and ring up as customer will clear it all 😁

Very late to the register! Was supposed to be taking down an ivy covered stem today that’s moved about 15 degrees and pushing a fence over. About 35ft I think. Far too wet and windy to be venturing out so hope it stays up till we can get there Monday afternoon. Had the fire on all day and been tidying/cleaning ready for Christmas. Probably more of the same tomorrow but I keep getting side tracked 👍

I always describe a stump as like a spiders body - I go down a foot deep and out to the first knuckles and won’t normally chase any roots out. Unless specifically asked for and they’re shallow, ie. Cherry, horse chestnut etc and then it’s more £. deepest I’ve been was 3ft and about 8ft across - there are pics in the stumpgrinding thread a few years ago. Meet this fella on site, take your grinder with you and if necessary go deeper or just use it to show him that it’s just the odd bit of root left.
