  1. Anyone know a chip site in or near Hindhead, Surrey? Tip site directory doesn’t have anything particularly close. Thanks
  2. Thanks very much for your replies. Very helpful. Do you mean you find slick pin tricky to open? I’ve seen on a video some solutions for a keeper string to stop the pin being dropped.
  3. Anyone tried the Hitch Hiker X? From YouTube reviews, seems interesting product. And if anyone has one in UK, where did you get it from? Seems like only available through Climbing Innovations webshop in the US, and I have no experience of what additional costs would be for import duty, tax, etc. Thanks
  4. Leyland I think, but I didn’t do the tree work so can’t be sure
  5. It’s in Stratton, just north of Dorchester.
  6. 5-10t of Cypress tree work waste timber, 6-24” diameter, 1’-5’ lengths. Roadside. Felled in November. Looking for someone to collect. PM me if you’re interested. Thanks
  7. Help needed for job in Bath, Thu and Fri this week, 2 and 3 May. Groundsman or climber with rigging experience required for either 1 or both days. Please message me if you’re interested for more details. Many thanks
  8. Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated
  9. I’m about to fit a Sena 10r handsfree to my Protos helmet. Any fitting advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
  10. Thanks very much for that. Very useful. They’re brand new, never used blades. But no idea if anvil gap is correct. Any advice on checking the gap? Thanks
  11. I’m interested in buying a Jo Beau 500 wee chipper. Previously had a CS100 which I was happy with until it was stolen. Got a M500 on hire at moment, but it is a 2005 machine and not performing as I expected it to. Very unimpressed with chipping performance, finding the chute frequently blocking, and a feeble chip throw meaning no good chipping into a vehicle. Performance of this old hire machine is definitely not as good as my old CS100 which happily chipped from trailer over tailboard to front of my 9’ long chip box. I mostly left chip on site, but from time to time I could use the cs100 as a wee road tow chipper. Do any of you use a M500 chipper to chip into a truck? I know there are options available to extend length of chute which should increase throw. Anyone who can share their experience of using this chipper, how it performs, how you have used it when removing chip? Many thanks
  12. Anyone have a Jo Beau M500 available for hire? I’m in Dorset and interested in long-term hire. Many thanks
  13. I may be able to help. Regularly work in Leeds area. Where is she?
  14. Anyone using the drenaline rope yet? If so, what do you think? Thanks
  15. I have a customer wanting me to work on their mature yew hedges, reducing height by 1/3 and reducing one side by approx 1/3. Having read on RHS and one or 2 other sites about best time of year to do this I'm left confused. Should I be reducing yew hedge in mid-winter, early spring or late spring (all answers I've read on the web)? Obviously, keen to do this before nesting birds are a problem. Don't want to mess up customers hedges either. Any advice very welcome
  16. <p>Many thanks for your suggestions. I'll give them both a call</p>

  17. That's great. Thanks. Both options are close enough. If you can send me contact details I'll try speaking with them. Cheers
  18. Thanks for all your replies. Very pleased to hear that it doesn't need new pot or that the saw is a write-off. I'm near Wetherby/York. Anyone know someone good around here to do this work? Otherwise, will send to Spud who has messaged me with quote and more info. Cheers Sam
  19. Hi Needing to get a chip box for my tipper. Looking for recommendations for companies local to me (Wetherby/York/Leeds area) who can make me one and fit it. Want something professional and durable. Any suggestions? Cheers Sam
  20. My 450e saw has problem with the spark plug vibrating loose during use. It really won't stay in place for more than a few seconds of cutting. I've discovered that the thread in the pot is damaged, I guess from over tightening or cross threading the spark plug. Taken it to my local Husky dealer who advises me it's an uneconomic repair. He says only solution he can recommend is a new pot and he showed me the price of a Husky replacement and said it wasn't worth spending the money. Do others agree? Any other advice? Thanks
  21. Thanks for answers. I'll update thread when I've solved it. Got some other ideas to try from another Entec thread in maintenance forum as well. Job for Monday morning
  22. I have a problem with my entec petrol chipper with hydraulic rollers. The bottom roller stopped working yesterday. In reverse it turns, but going forward it doesn't and therefore won't pull in branches. It was a wet and long day before the chipper developed the problem. Electrical problem perhaps? Any ideas how I can diagnose the problem and solve it?
  23. I'd really like to know answer to this too. I have another question about my Entec. Today, the bottom roller stopped working. In reverse it works, but going forward it doesn't. It was a very wet day and the chipper had been busy and working well until end of day problem started. Electrical problem perhaps? Any ideas how I can diagnose the problem and solve it?
  24. Thanks for all your replies. I tried a 7 plus in a shop today and it seemed too big to comfortably hold and type with 1 hand. With the case on, my guess it really would be 2 hands needed for typing easily
