We use a U1300 with a HIAB to pull a 10 tonne trailer and it seems pretty good. We also use a U1250 with at TP200 and a superwinch 6300kg straight line pull as a chip and winch truck. What attracted you to the U1700? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Same here, if I ask nicely I'm leant the gear. I feel it shows appreciation for me giving 100%. It promotes a give and take relationship that's harmonious and benefits his business as no one moans about putting extra time in or helping out with things in their own time. It's by no means a formal type of management but it works for us. Mind you it's friends and family only, anyone asks for a card in the street and its his job naturally. The arrangement is based on mutual respect and we would never take the piss. It's by no means regular private work, but it seems a selfish attitude to take to prevent your guys earning a little on the side once in a while whilst maintaining their loyalty and commitment to promoting your business in the best way.

Make sure you price in a decent contingency as that sounds like it has the potential to take far longer than you'd think. If you can't get vehicles in you might want to hire a big winch to drag the felled trees to firm ground for processing. Rather you than me, sounds like a nightmare. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

When I say Osbournes I mean A.T Osbournes by the way. Try them. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

We get our TP200 parts of osbournes, in 8 years nothing has ever gone wrong with it. It's a fantastic machine. If it needs those parts then get them, I guarantee it won't let you down. We just do the filter and change the hydraulic oil now and again. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

The law sir is an ass! Good job they didn't hurt themselves whilst trespassing or you'd be waiting for a solicitors letter instructing you that your being sued. Shame it's not like America where you simply shoot them for being on your property. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

The root plate starts about 12" underground, in my days before arboriculture I foolishly and ignorantly piled soil up around it when digging out a patio that was about 15 years ago, my bad! Thanks for the link though. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

To be honest I haven't spiked anything since my return to climbing but in the cold I get a persistent dull ache that feels like its coming from really deep within the joint, it's not painful really just uncomfortable. I believe it's called barometric sensitivity, that's that it said on my medical report. The private physio made all the difference with mine I believe. The best decision I've ever made.

As PAYE staff they get statutory rights so you don't need a formal contract of employment, check on the DWP website. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Hey, I broke my ankle at work last January ie 2012, ankles are fiddley they take ages to heal and for the swelling to go down, 17 months later I still get swelling and pain but I'm back climbing again and it's mostly healed up now so chances are good just rest it, keep it elevated to minimise the swelling and most importantly get a good private physiotherapist, mine was priceless!

Applanatum definitely, I've done some reading, looked at some pretty pictures and I'm 100% sure. Even down to the sheer size of the thing. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Ahh what a legend, I remember him teaching me, in regards to MW insurance he said ' better a stiff than a cripple, that's why I always bring a shovel, so don't hurt yourself ' What a shame he's leaving. A great man and an excellent arborist. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

That's what I'd want in an ideal world, I'll repollard it and bring the stems down to ladder height so its not a pain to dismantle when the time comes. It's me that loves the rope swing really not my daughter :-) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks guys, spot on with the diagnosis by the way now I've had a good check. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yeah I've tapped it and the wood density has diminished significantly to about 5 foot above the fruiting body, it will probably be in the main union before long. Bit of a pain really. As I thought, maybe whip it out this year before nature takes its course and it squishes something expensive. I'll have to replant something I can get a rope swing into quickly or I'll be in big trouble...... Cedar? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

This is my weeping willow, this fruiting body has been on it for two years appearing out of the root plate, does anyone have any ideas on it. I love the tree but its showing signs this season of stress growth, I have a child who swings on it all summer long, therefore my professional opinion is to remove it but my heart says repollard it and give it a chance. What do people on here think? Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
