  1. Hi Luke, slightly less hours than I thought - 1254Hrs Let me know if you are still interested. Cheers, Ed
  2. It’s a 2008, only done 1270 ish (from memory). It’s been our back up chipper for four years but probably only gets used one a month so I’m thinking it’s time for it to go. It’s been mega reliable. Has the usual rust about the hopper for tw’s of that age. May need a new anti stress sensor which I’ll sort before I sell. Looking for £6k +VAT.
  3. If you have the room for a TW150, I have one that I’ll be selling soon.
  4. I still fairly regularly get told by clients that their surveyor has recommended a staged removal. I try and explain all the above but they rarely want to take the “risk”
  5. I hope DBM hire will still be suppiers of predator stump grinder parts.
  6. Get Your Air Landline Number - A Virtual Landline Phone Number for Your Mobile AIRLANDLINE.CO.UK A landline number helps a business look professional, trustworthy & established. But getting a traditional wired landline is a hassle and costly. That's why we created Air Landline ™ - a landline number that rings on your mobile! This year I’ll be moving house to a different area code but want to keep my existing business landline number. I’m wondering whether I need an actual landline connection or to use a service such as Air Landline which diverts business calls to your mobil. Does anyone have experience of using something like this?
  7. I’m guessing not but I did see many Cordyline resprout from the roots after the beast from the East struck. I have a client with a Trachycarpus that has outgrown its location and just wondering if there is any chance of it regrowing from if pollarded?
  8. Yes, I get this impression from my regular trips to North Norfolk. It’s likely that I’ll be moving to the county soon but I have no intentions of starting up there.
  9. No Dan, that one is in Fenstanton but I know that Murry Edwards College has some Pagoda’s so i’ll check those out soon.
  10. I think you might have got it there Mick. I know where there is a Pagoda tree so next time I’m passing I’ll stop and take a closer look for comparison.
  11. That did cross my mind but I thought that they only have 5 leaflets
  12. This tree has puzzled me for years, please help.
  13. Just saws or would you take hedge cutters as well?
  14. I was recently told that any 17mm nut is 45ftlb and any 19mm nut is 65ftlb.

    Tree Wardens

    Hi Sam, I’m not a Tree Officer but as a contractor I spoken to several. On more than one occasion, I found them thinking that they have the powers of a TO. One lady warden even makes decisions directly with residents in a CA for tree work they request.
  16. Can’t believe that this one hasn’t been mentioned yet!
  17. Saw this on FB a few weeks back. Does make you think. I’ve worked on many, many trees next to and overhanging water, last time was only last week and I had that sad story constantly on my mind.
  18. I think that the premium pump fuel is changing to 95 so basically you’ll be paying the premium price for what is currently standard petrol.
  19. Now you mention it, it is a bit stiffer than say a 200T but nothing that my shovel hands couldn’t cope with. Sound like yours may be worse than mine. Hopefully a new spring might sort it. Where do you order your parts from? Skyland Equipment did well sourcing parts for the 350 a while back but I think they struggled. Just ordered some 620sx parts from Motoruf but no sign of them yet.
  20. Hi Darkslider, I have the cs-350tes and it’s my favourite top handle. The hand guard on mine is also flexible so you get use to pulling back on the half nearest the sprocket side to disengage the chain brake.
  21. Other than the StumpBuster franchise, I only know of two other people who purely did stump grinding, both have now stopped trading. Most of the tree surgery businesses, with the exception of start ups, have their own machines.
  22. Hi Arborspective, In my experiences working within the urban environment, and vacations around England and Wales, I don’t think that there is a massive variation of species in the different parts of Britain. I’m in Cambridgeshire about 60miles North of London and the common species are Leylandii & Lawson Cypress’s, Sycamore & Maples, Robinia & Gleditsia, Beech, Oaks (English, sessile, turkey, red), Horse Chestnut, Eucalyptus, Ash, Yew and Silver Birch. We generally get the warmer/dryer weather in the South-East so you also see a lot of Cordyline and Trackycarpus in gardens. Not a tree but the thing I hate most is Bamboo, and people that grow climbing rose and vines up trees.
  23. Looks toast to me, but soon there’ll be some better saw mechanics than me that will comment.
  24. Does anyone know if there is a design flaw in the 620sx oil pump. Just about to replace mine for the second time in a fairly short period of time due to a worn flat spot on the gear. Maybe I’ve got a dodgy worm So I’m replacing that as well.
