  1. That's the answer. I quote for work years ago now and it was big job, re-pollarding willows, the nearest quote was £4000 dearer and the highest was £12000. And before anyone asks I made money on that job.
  2. Blunt knife is a dangerous one also chipper blades.
  3. That is the problem with some hire companies,
  4. Has it got blades in it.
  5. Knowing how a machine runs and works is key in this business, if it brakes down you need it fix for the next day or on that day to finish job. Only the other day switch packed up on eclectic supply to 6 way valve to work grab and rotator on little loader. So I pulled wires from work light on boom and wire 6 way valve to it and used light switch instead.
  6. Would your campact handle a rear forklift like a mcconnel one. Or just fit front loader and maybe only pick 2 at a time.
  7. Out reach is what you need so go big, less moving and can stand away. When I use them if I can use boom lift even better so I can move around with out messing about with legs and even coming right down.
  8. Didn't he notice truck wasn't pulling well.
  9. That's how my old Premier pto chipper rollers worked, once that thing got hold of a bit of wood that was it, if you wasn't quick enough to stop rollers belts would slip.
  10. Spot on with that.
  11. There's a couple of companies near me how have gone Jensen A520 after using Forst and Timberwolf, there is a Jensen agent/agri dealer less then 4 miles from them so many be why, or like when I went there for a chainsaw helmet part as I was that way chipper sales man spotted me and then got me to look at chippers, he could sell sand to Arabs. Was over looking a farm which 3 tree companies run out of mixture of chippers Timberwolf, GreenMech and Jensen in yard would be a good place to ask what they thought of them.
  12. Total agree with above, unless you are good with spanners and electrics. Buy from dealer will depend on what service you get afterwards, I bought second hand from dealer and service was bad and I refuse to deal with them now even for parts.
  13. Tank breather, try with cap off,
  14. Are you saying no fuel in bubble when pushed.
  15. You just say 2 cutters and 2 labours, Were is or how will drive digger,
  16. Couldn't get near brash with truck or get chipper with loader, so third opinion take tractor and trailer and lift it to drier ground to be chipped next week.
  17. Just buy a 8x5 tipper it will be narrower then the gd8x5, the one i have has been a great trailer moved tons of wood and chip, mini loader when digger is on 12x6 ifor. was going to replace the tipper with a 10x5 but have had a second thought and will probably find a GX84 plant to move digger easier.
  18. My insurance has so may restriction on burning not many places I can, but If in the middle of know were I do as what can harm, but if house's near just be careful.
  19. You will find this is food chain as well. 25000 acres on your own or is it a group you run.
  20. Took me along time to find chuck key as not used key chuck in drill for years.
  21. Another project has come together, something to sharpen 500 green teeth. Just got to set up cooling system.
  22. Take a look at RSL engineering Website for an idea or just buy one.
  23. Got the older style of this boot had them over 10 years, wear them to look at work and deer stalking, very lightweight and comfy out of box. LOWA Seeker Safety Boots, S3 Black GTX Protective Work Shoe, Leather UK LOWAMILITARYBOOTS.COM LOWA Seeker GORE-TEX S3 safety boots feature a modern trekking look with the upper material...
  24. There use to be a crow on a shopping area that made a mobile phone sound was great watching people grab there phone and look at them.
  25. Can you get digger in though next-door garden.
