    I have no idea what your talking about

    ive talked them through both procedures (lift & thin or reduction) gave a quote for both so they have the option.. they were asking if i would have it down!! but with the only access being a personal gate 100yds away im keen on leaving as much standing as possible..

    Thanks for the advice everyone.. talked options through with customer today and were all happy.. just got to wait and see if quotes accepted:001_smile:

    Evening all, ive been and looked at a large Monterey Cypress today.. I was wondering if anyone could let me know how they cope with reductions ?.. the trees around 70ft good and healthy but is overpowering the garden, Any advice on a rather harsh but safe percentage? or is it best to remove a little each year?

    As i have understood it.. Its cheaper to buy a subbie a saw and pay for his ticket than to pay the fees and give him an axe.. Never saw that one coming :-)

    Hi chaps, got a job on.. im planing on having a look at an old 630a, will be my first grinder.. i know there old and a bit passed it but i love rusty things.. Anyway was hoping someone has used one and could let me know what they are like to use??

    i done around 40t of mixed birch / ash and beech by hand, i got an old oil drum cut it about 2ft high and then cut a good sized v out of the front, put a decent sized piece of wood in the bottom as a block.. just stops you running around picking bits up, also saves your shins.. i didn't do any last winter and now i weigh about 2 stone more..

    Evening all.. been looking for some reading material to educate myself on tree health care and pruning these will be my first books on the subject so was looking for something i have a chance of understanding, any recommendations ?

    Thats a good point about rivets coming loose.. if you get a nice fit with the sheets and plenty of support in the frame to prevent it being able to bow, i would say some decent rivets should be fine .
  15. Boy English
    i would build the frame from around 3mm angle, put various lenghs of flat in for support and sheet it with 2mm galv.. rivet the sheets to the steel (easy to replace when the time comes) and seam sealer over joints to help lose any sharp edges
  16. Boy English
    My advice would be to use a steel angle frame. and new galvenised sheets, they will match your ally better than any paint will.. and should last good while..

  22. Boy English
    cheers for that, we done our training with chalky at fakenham and i was talking to him about the woods used for thining ect.. same story really..
  23. Boy English
    I just reflected on your post for a few minutes.. Your spot on!! normally i dont let to much hold me up in business but for some reason this one has.. onwards and upwards i guess!!
  24. Boy English
    I live in norfolk, there has been quite alot of timber removed from a local estate over the last couple of years all done by harvester, was walking the dog the other day and the woods look devistated.. i know it makes much more money but jesus!!
  25. Boy English
    Thanks chaps.. Ive been running my options around in my head for a couple of months and now and its just getting to me!! In my current work ive allways been happy to bring in subbies for the things im not so sure about and ive also been lucky to get my hands on machines that need a rebuild or some serious attention which is not a large problem for me.. If i start small and advertise for both, price on hire gear and if i can come up with my own gear before the job starts all should be good.. Ive never been keen on climbing steel so i had allways planed to hire in climers where a cherry picker cant be used (im just not built for it should we say :-) thanks guys..
