    Look on the Arb retailers websites (on the right side of the page) to get design ideas. Two bags could be a good idea as putting everything in one bag can make it too heavy to carry and it's not always practical to wheel something along. Compartments are a good idea. Ventilated is a very good idea otherwise all the gear turns mouldy and stinks, unless you work in Arizona, on their only tree!

    Surely there is someone around with a tipper and chipper that needs more work? There is always is when I don't need it, of course!

    Best method of dealing with stump grinding teeth, IME, is to put the used ones in a box and move onto the next job. When the box of used teeth starts to annoy me, throw them all in the bin and put an extra ice cube in my drink. Brilliant!

    Summer Branch Drop. You won't find it on small young trees and it almost always happens during late afternoon when the weather is hot with possibly a light breeze. The client thinks you're making a weird joke when you explain why it happens! Lol!

    My experience of Echo hedge trimmers is that they are super sharp and stay this way for years. I've had four, i think.
  6. Old Mill Tree Care
    Agreed.

    Be careful with winching. If you can't keep the butt up off the ground and it digs in, even a billion ton winch won't help.

    Arguably the best stump grinders on the market.

    You'll only become a well paid climber IF you can become a great climber. That will take about 4-5 years of full time climbing.

    I hope no one saw you with your Makita battery drill!

    One of my guys got some. The leg pads broke as he went up the first trees. Rubbish. He got a refund.

    I've done it with RAF Chinook training squadron who were happy to help, as it was a bit of training (& a jolly). Anyway, there are various issues that will arise but they're relatively easy to work around: fuelling, emergency landing site, coordination with all local emergency services etc. H&S could be your biggest hurdle depending on location. Mine was right in the middle of a town! Upshot of it is though, it's an extremely fast and cost efficient (maybe safer!) way to remove the tree.

    I'll pay €1250! Any more bids?! Lol!

    Can't remember. I was about 9yrs old.

    Brings back fond memories as my dad had an 850 Le Mans when I was a child and he'd often take me out on it. Noisy!

    Arbrep Services. Call Joanne on 01420 544006

    I think they'll need something stronger than barrier tape to pull it out though!

    That's right but I take care to keep speed above 50mph otherwise the Transit could sink on the client's lawn.

    Echo 360 and Echo 2511. The Stihl and Husky are fraught with problems and you may get a problematic one.

    Yes I may be moaning about it but with good reason. I'm upset that jacket is completely useless after very little use, have you seen the price of them. However I'm much more upset by Pfanners response. Zero response! Quality premium priced products need to be backed up with premium service but the producer, IMO. I'm quite cross with Pfanner for this. BTW, Max at Treekit has gone beyond normal expectations to help me with this and has actually picked up Pfanners slack, at his own cost. Bravo Treekit!

    Paint it red Al and I'll send you some stickers to make it look pretty, a bit like this actually:

    You should call Spudulike first, before you buy another saw.

    That there is a big part of the problem, coupled with a system that supports the lazy and the thief. Therefore the "Why should I bother when I get it all for nuthin!" attitude will continue to prosper leading to a widening rift between the wealthy(controllers) and the poor.

    If only you were in South Surrey!
