hello - does the tw125 charge the battery as it runs??? when i first got the unit it was fine - however i got a new engine fitted due to old siezing - i want to know if ethier the company who fitted it havent conected something up or its just the battery not holding charge cheers

i never noticed a different smell but an almighty buzz i tell thee

Yes. Son I think. My father in law knows him thru the sas. Another tree surgeon called Phil Scott from hecham area also did the same Both circular saw and just a moments loss of concentration opps

was his fingers - didnt get them stiched back on thou he calmly picked them up and drove to hospital RIP - he died last year - cancer

thats a beast like - bravo - wor lasses dad used to roll home in the 90s in his mog when he worked for colin white - il just stick to the tranny club for now and deal with the overloading/uprated beefed springs for now would be overkill for a turfing job haha

i am - Dr.Green - 'your trees will be sycnomore' works a treat

Not my place realy when 2 neighbours are in disagreement a third party shouldn't get involved unless they ask. ****** go knocking

i have advised bracing too if this would help but as its not there tree , same old same old perhaps when im there doing the work il meet the owner and can have a bit crack with him and let him know the story behind the trees faults - perhaps information just hasnt been relaid correctly via 3rd partys so reducing its height by a 3rd would also be an option , i can see your thinking , another option of full removal , maybe the owner will go for that , we shall see

ive told them that at some point in its life it will need to come down , however im not there ti make decisions for them just advise options. the owner who ive never meet says if you pay to get that section took off ive spoke to my insurance and if anything happens its not my fault and you cant claim' so in short he doesnt care its 20m from his house the council have even approved for full removal , its in a conservaqtion area too all down to costs , - at least if it ever fails i should get a call but lets hope it doesnt happen

what % rate do they charge to use? any annual charges

i understand , hence partail removal was half of full . . shame didnt get it but it stands real nice on the estate:001_cool:

went back there today after they called me up just after i posted this- after putting my points across about liability issues, they have decided to just have branches removed upto the top window. so from a large job to medium to very small - thats life . however they were glad i was honest with them , and then since added more work around the garden plus neighbours so there always light at end of tunnel.

Had a look at this job a while back , basicaly i quoted to remove entire tree which wouldnt realy be a problem , however now it seems only a third of tree is wanting to be removed. the section that needs to be removed is that which is covering the frontage of the home as seen in pic below. the section to be removed is about 1/3 of the tree , at the base it splits into 2 but from inspection doesnt have the best of unions and evidence of bulging on the stem. the remaining section to stay is a very hefty piece that runs straight up, taking into account weight distribution i am slightly worried about carrying this work out , the root plate on the side to be removed (driveway) is virtualy none existant compared to the lawned side which clearly has compensated with extra growth. when the driveway was laid a year ago there was no signs of roots , which again is slightly worrying due to its size. over time i have notice the gap at the top of the tree getting larger. i have put across my point of remove and replant with a lovely broadleaf in the middle of the lawn , however the owner of the tree isnt going to fit the section of the bill , but is letting the neighbour pay to have the section removed.

i dont do anything at work as i would get far to into the zone, ethier class a/b/or c - such as trimming the hedge just a little more for the tiny little bits nobodys will look at , or cutting a lawn twice just to make it look pretty. or a very large assent for the sticking out twig only i can see. ive spent many years 'in the zone' and agree with alot of comments on here i know when i roll upto to propertys in ethier of my vehicles with the signwritting and sporting the dreadys i can see people 'assuming' what kind of person i am but soon relese not to judge a book by the cover. i get extra biscuits with the cuppas sometimes thou

I've had a few enquires regards this too. Customers want to retain the trees. They are good formed trees with no problems other than the wilt. So, what shall I suggest? First seen the problem a month ago and put it down to weather/site conditions but I'm seeing it more everyday.

Any answer is good as it always helps for future reference. I've put forward a few options to the customer and we shall see the outcome.

Just got in busy day. That diagram is exactly what I was thinking. Honestly that's the diagram I had in my head

I can have a go. It is ugly

Message boards are for winding people up as is life . When Im home il get creative with some pics n redlines for customer. Shame its not destined for death, my wood yard is at the bottom of road, but if we did that every time.

Problem is they still want 'a tree'. Thou all the extra options I will return with them and let them decide. Small pollard/medium/reduction . They had tiedie t-shirts on and have a herbal medicine company so are hippys. Hence no removal of the poplar

I'd like to redline it tbh but the customers wants what they want. Reduction would be nicer to look at, I did mention it as it was another option

hello people , been asked today to carry out this little job , customer wants to retain rather than remove.. i have an idea of how to go about carrying out the pollard but i would realy like so advice please as this would be my first one and would like to make the effort as its on my door step, and customer was more than happy with work ive done in the area. dont want to go for a realy harsh pollard (like a bollard) . see what you think - any advice would be great. or fancy drawen on lines would be even better.. its a bit of a mini beast, having had 3 very large lower limbs come of 4-6ft from base in the past. These are clearly decaying back into the base with visual 'white rot' seen thru bark at 8ft.

yeah the weathers keeping people out the gardens - when we had the hot winter summer in feb/march every1 went mad then it rained/became cold like the usual april they all went indoors like u say before long they will all want everything done strainght away thinking ive nout better to do, bonus is im doing all my landscaping stuff over next month with no time to drag the chipper out chin up , skin up i say

and the purpose of the rednecks past time is ???
