  1. you know those MEWP's, big blue 4 wheel ones. like that but remote controlled and instead of a platform on it, its a crane. failing that a 70ton crane that folds up into the chip box.
  2. as above, pm your details and C.V or brief description of yourself.

    Shunter.

    i am keen on buying an old tractor to run splitter and shunt crap around the yard. cheap is the key but must work and be easy to repair / botch. any ideas on what sort of figure i'm looking at?, thinking around £2-3k ish. what is the ideal piece of kit in your opinion? never bought a tractor before, any ideas / advice welcome. how new do i have to go to get one to run hydraulic splitter? or am i looking at getting a pto hydraulic pump type setup? Pictures and offers welcome.

  5. oh my god, never thought of that before, i'm gona buy one! 5 tea bags in the flask from now on! stand clear!!
  6. Thank you, very usefull. bang on, old trees, multi stemmed. I assumed Applanatum but mainly a guess. the client is very keen to keep them for as long as possible and we already agreed to reduce them but think I may remove more than I was planning. there is no targets of exceptional value so if they fail they fail.
  7. One of my clients has 3 large multi stemed Nothofagus, due to the high winds we had up here recently, one is now horazontallis and another has lost 2 main stems. On inspection all 3 have Ganoderma brackets on them, the one with the failed stems has revealed extensive rot in the butt. The client is keen to not lose the undamaged tree and the remaining stems of the other. I have suggested reducing the height to reduce sail effect and damage to surrounding trees in event of failure. What would your suggestions be? how long can these trees survive with the infection? Cheers Brett
  8. drys an unusual orange colour and is very light when dry but burns as well as anything in my stove.

  11. as a freelancer I have to be able to move my own jobs around at short notice, and my clients are made aware of this. if I knock back a call from an arb company I am less likely to be at the top of their list next time. doesn't matter how good you are, you have to continually be available to prove it.
  12. doesn't teak oil make the wood very dark??
  13. that's fine for you if your happy to breath that crap in all day. no for me thanks

  15. P.S I may live in Dundee but I am no Dundonian
  16. In my experience there's not much between scag and great dane, but go for double wheels to improve traction and better on slopes, getting in and out of trailer when wet etc.
  17. I've been using Cedar kindling for the past 2 years, all from the same tree, don't think there is much better, easy to split and burns with a fury.
