  1. You based in Newmarket?? Don't use Ben Burgess then
  2. Your best option maybe to get with a big company running large lorries, which you already know about. Then get plant tickets and groundy ones. And see how it works out.
  3. Bit late but been a good Monday morning, not had girl in car pull across in front of me, I was in Landy with trailer with loader on, 8.wheels locking up makes a noise, hand hit horn and couldn't hear it. Then got to job which was started last week to clear up wood and about 2 ton has gone. Took I day light by old man in pickup.
  4. Had old diesel land rover which would cut out, it turned out to be wire in terminal didn't have enough wires left attached but would arc and make enough to start then it would let go. RE-did all terminals and never had any more problems.
  5. The only option is probably apply to carry out work, replanting that's going to be done. I have had a couple of customers take it that they could apply and get results they want, turned out no. I then put application in and worded it totally different and got better result. Headed paper with correct wording go along way.
  6. From the video, he was climbing with one anchor point in standing tree, so did he carry on like that or did he in stool another once up higher if so did both fail?.
  7. A lot of members of the public would not be worried were there logs came from, let a loan know about an accident with tree and put the two together.
  8. You don't need to get tractor in wood, maybe redirect winch cable through wood with pulleys. I ve pulled trees over from front drive of house by reducing winch cable down side of bungalow and into back garden.
  9. Would of thought sheets of ply. Never had too, would of thought they make job even harder if alleyway narrow.
  10. I think that brown hedge is conifer that has been cut back to hard. As for removing it you will have a bigger garden.
  11. You are right, but the 3.5t is the most popular truck to use for tree work for little domestic jobs. There's a lot of people how just can't go down the HGV route, like myself I get around it by running a couple of ifor williams trailer to take the weight off truck.
  12. I take it climber was an employee, maybe not got it to say them two words to boss when asked to climb it. As there is always someone else stupid enough to. It's not the case of how draws shortest straw now mewp are available. But like others have said winch it or big digger to force it do what you way.
  13. Oko tyre sealer for road use, or tyre string. Should be able to get tyre company that work 24/7.
  14. This has always been a very grey area since EA changed everything. I asked a judge I do work for and his answer was if it landed up a court case, all you have to do is prove it a product, and not waste. My mate how is a builder got stopped once and was asked to open the back of his van, he had a bath in there which he had taken out of the house he was work, and was going to put it in a rented property for someone else. EA officers said it was waste, he claimed no because it was whole. After a long argument they started to look at other this in van which included a bag of wood, 4x2 off cuts. At this point he lost it and said did they want to look in the driver's door pocket as it was full of sweet wraps. At that point police officer how was also there said that EA office was in the wrong and he was to go on his way.
  15. Most things in arb work destroys your body,
  16. Why I say less is did 4 that size in a garden next-door to me, they were 30m high, and only 45 years old but it good ground.
  17. Why. Minimum of 75 years. I would say less then that
  18. You got to be clever to work out what glove you need by what they have written. So once you have you probably don't need one.
  19. I have heard and see some bad work from ifor williams, and one was a plant trailer with a axle stub end out of line once it had been weld on to beam. Owner could not work out were the vibration was coming from, until he sat in trailer while his mate drove it up farm drive.
  20. If done by insurance contractor job not done to correct standard. And needs redoing if contract was to treat to kill. Other way if you want to do it your self is to drill holes in to shoots and fill with Glyphosate.
  21. Why do you need one.
  22. Is this for real. I know chainsaws aren't built like they were years ago.
  23. When I was younger,, I regularly planted 400 to 600 a day. But it is hard on body when you put 12000 to 16000 a season, only do small planting jobs now.
  24. I think they may fit a fly jib with winch, so basically use it in tight access were big crane may struggle to get in
