  1. Another willow in pond bit big this one had double up to get it to move,
  2. It looks like it has collapsed at base so probably nothing holding it, I wouldn't even put a saw near that. It's the sort of thing you come across doing thinning work, so for someone in forestry work piss easy.
  3. Just pull it at base with tractor if you can get near it, looks like it's on golf course so may not be access for tractor then just hand winch it ether way take a sheet of ply and place near base and try and get base on it then it want dig in to ground.
  4. If bars have been stretched you will be waisting your time trying to straighten them, best to cut them at a post and weld new in.. You can straighten them with sledge hammer like an anvil and a lump hammer to hit,
  5. Hot wire solenoid. To rule out ignition switch.
  6. This afternoon joo, Willow in pond stinky thing.
  7. Toyota land cruiser utility lwb or swb are both commercial.
  8. One day off because of bad weather is better then a week or two with a cold or worse.
  9. With a customer last month and we talk to a builder about access from his yard, he said it had gone quiet got 3 houses built he hadn't shifted. Think it is going to be hard for small building companies building houses on small sites, but those do agriculture building are busy.
  10. 100% agree with that, local farmer attack a hedge near me and it got loads of complaints on local facebook page at the time but its come back and looks ok until they have another go at it. They have their uses like reducing and untangling stuff to then fell with saw.
  11. NCD equipment is how you need to talk to about a demo. My cousin has a TMK on a 8 ton 360 and is think of get one to fit a 3 ton 360.
  12. No Briggs and Stratton Vanguard EFI.
  13. I would check air cleaner hose it hasn't degraded inside and stopping air flow, seen one on land rover which was like a flap, problem was so intermittent drove owner mad, change fuel sensors, and many other things.
  14. So it chucks out white grey smoke, still runs or stops, once you stop it dose it restart up and clear it self that happen again after a while.
  15. They are ok but once grab is closed it a big open square not like a log grab which closes right up. Single small trunks are a pain unless times are strong and you can pick them up by pinching them but you can only move one a time. Grab like that is great for brash
  16. If you take lower limb off it will do the same as taking top out. Its not a arborist's job to decide what to do with tree's near house. it their insurance supplier to decide how they want it done.
  17. Sell it and buy right trailer to carry weight. If you can risk putting chipper on trailer see what it looks like may make your mind up, top heavy.
  18. Maybe worth changing socks for pure cotton, I had bad smelly feet for a long time until I found some socks which affected my feet less.
  19. Yes I now someone how had company car supplied but she bought a little Mazda sports car to keep her ncb going, she has just stopped working so company car gone and she has bought a Mini cooper top of the range and cheapish insurance.
  20. I ve been told that fleet policy only for 3 or more and you can't put tractor on fleet. As soon as modified is add on Internet quote no matter which company you have to ring and ring a company always gets better quote. All my policy's are commercial so when I need a car policy it's going to cost, and I have been driving for, 35 years, it's not fair that you can't move ncb on.
  21. I ve had customers that do not get on with neighbour, I have gone round and asked if we can work from their side and ever time they have said no problem. So just find out if you can work or drop stuff and crack on.
  22. Buy the biggest you can get into big back garden with. My loader is 42 inches wide had a couple of jobs where we couldn't get it in so, planning on buying narrow wheels and tyres to take it down to 36 inches wide which will make it more use able.
  23. Depending on what you asked for and what was agreed on.
