Cool. Cheers. I'm thinking of a scag or ferris then. I have another look and report back. Il ditch the jcb idea.

Ok cool. I could have got a ferris with a cat diesel 1340hrs for just under 3k but it seemed 'to cheap' plus when I viewed it had a chunk missing from the front tyre , which started me thinking, is this a donkey because I was told it would be 'ok' and had no issues over the phone. No bother mate but I'm a bit sketchy sonetimes when I get 'the vibe' . Plus it's was 6" to wide for my trailer This is local to me. Jcb. It's a yanmar motor 800hrs. 3.6k inc vat. And it fits on current trailer JCB 20ZD DIESEL ZERO TURN RIDE ON MULCH MOWER,LAWN GARDEN TRACTOR,SIT ON | eBay

A large beech limb snapped out and skimmed my car by inches, blocking a road. I offerd to go get my kit (5mins away) after Id stopped shaking . On my return police were there, and after a while they let me clear it up (30mins). I took 100 of the wifey,cool. Then got asked to price the canopy removal as it was due for removal (council advice). £1500, 1 heavy day 4 blokes. Turnss out the other quotes were 2500&3000. Both 3days!!!! Still made a grand in a day plus timber plus extra work. However Id never charge that again for the same job lol. Was very lucky it was 10mins from my yard They guy even said 'you can have the stem for free if you like'. No mate your ok...it's still up

Seen it , debated with myself and reliesed the chip box isn't big enough after filling my tranny in no time today . Little over priced too. Typically I did think about one of these Originaly. temtation

Morning. I was thinking of doing a min 2m rather than the strict 1m. The 2 hollow horizontal limbs could do with more weight off them. I had a drive past again on my travels. Evidence of inner Canopy producing new growth . Small but life anyways. I want to retain , Id just like a much to present the customer as possible
-
absolutely no idea how to sort the pics - were my hand is under the base , that is the opposite side of the hollow entrance . there are a further 2 smaller but hand size section that are like this too I've a feeling the council will say no to removal but owner loves the tree, but safety is a issue please fire away with all comments , I'm to get in touch with TO and put forward a case for more work - i.e. , heavy reduction , thou owner wants a tree with a canopy - or full removal on safety grounds it could stand for years but I've informed my customer i don't have a crystal ball only advice
-
here goes again , fingers crossed they are the right way around
-
ok guys , sorry for the delay - internet has been down. customer didn't even relies the inside was so bad , until i tore a chunk of dry brown out and gave it to her… edited - I've no idea why its showing my pics upside-down , they are fine on my computers …. il see if i can sort it sorry guys
-

I recently carried out work on a property which has had work granted to many trees. The last bit of work was a large oak to have a 1m prune on the canopy Upon starting the job I had myself a very good look over this tree, I've attached a few pictures. I knew about the cavity in the base however once climbed I noticed the 2 first large limbs were Completly hollow thus showing the decay is min 12ft up the stem, I can now put my hand under almost every corner of the base,The crown has nothing on the inside branch wise and plenty deadwood, the site stands on clay so it's waterlogged a lot which I guess hasn't helped things I decided not to take there money for this part of the whole job as it could be better spent on A-a proper inspection using specialist kit b-full removal (which is a right shame) C-heavy reduction D-rather than full removal cut right back to produce a scary looking evil dead tree with a main stem and large limbs Any input is always welcomed

Do you charge more for commercial work

After some advice on circular log saws. Wanting to move away from chainsaw to cut my split lengths. Seen a few machines with a 70cm blade that's near always coverd, ideal to leave be dad at the yard all day unattended. Petrol / diesel or elec Any body recommend any machines. Cheers

The guy said 'it can be put back to 3.5'. After I asked 'was it downplated from 5.2' Don't think he understood what I meant Still struggling to find a decent 6.5. And this other vehicle came up as a handy other vehicle maybe
-
No sure. All I know is it plated 4.5t so it has a legal payload of 1.5t as it has a Hiab fitted. Just if it could be 5.2 (heard they are same chassis) it could still have an ok payload for tree work
-
Evening. Just a questions regards uprating. Could a 3.5 daily go upto 5.2 ? It already been uprated to 4.5. Thanks
-
I'm also looking for a decent backup saw if anybody's got one for sale. Obviously il wait in line
