  1. Colchester city council change if they come out and inspect tree,
  2. Would not even bother, cost would be great.
  3. Will agree with you about SIP, picked a reduced pair up at local saw shop a couple of years ago.
  4. They are old but take some beating, you just drive over about anything. Spent many days driving through woodland cutting rides back.
  5. Think you will find they made there own, are they are not like any other gearbox,
  6. Were are you based, as I know were there's 2 complete swipes in good condition.
  7. As its a hard drive way you maybe bet with a truck mount one company near me run a isuzu and saw it last year on a drive set up and the front bumper was nearly head hieght.
  8. I have had a spider on slope were the auto level wouldn't level it so had to do it manually. Best bet is if you can dig legs in on the up hill side.
  9. Had someone moan about chipper dust on there car, said I would use blower to remove, they got dry cloths and wiped it over well tried made it worse.
  10. If you are going to use them tapered extractor them don't as bolt is to small you will lock it tighter in hole and maybe brake it in bolt then you will never drill it out. You will be better off using a torx bit out of screw driver set and drive it into small hole.
  11. Never had much luck with stud extractors were you drill a hole. Tack weld a washer then weld nut to washer then just undo it.
  12. Repaired a hole in echo with plastic tank in very simple place, I used 2 part epoxy by evo stick. Pushed through hole into tank and formed a mushroom head and the same out side so it was like a rivet.
  13. That's a long way, safe working distance is ok.
  14. Gator oil on ebay been using it for 6 years and not had any problems, it's very orange in colour like oregon. Have noticed there oil has gone up a bit.
  15. Turns out there was an oil spill but it was definitely salt not sand.
  16. Highways have just salted roads in Colchester, don't know what they think is coming, Snow mid July.
  17. Not myself, but got a customer bit of a do anything bloke, luck to get him 4 foot off the ground now.
  18. I started a thread about 4 months ago with Thuja dying, well there's also alot of Scott's pine in the same area dying and I ve spotted others around Essex / Suffolk border. It happens very quick I topped the Thuja in Feb as tops were dead and got a call in April to take them right down, beginning of June I took them down and the timber had no sap leach out of it and it was no problem picking pieces up a foot round and 6 foot long.
  19. I do put sheets down but always get the odd stone go through chipper, find it a pain push clippings with something like piece of wood then chipper gets hold of it
  20. Is it that other countries are zero burning and it's the only thing they can do.
  21. I haven't got a week to do 1 job, some of the hedge cutting i do fill a 4 cubic metre truck. But on small hedges it would work.
  22. Is there anything else on the market like this? getting a lot of hedge cuttings to get rid of were customer has burnt in the past and now wants them took away and customer are asking about getting rid of garden waste, which is stuff I am not putting through chipper.
  23. They were very crafty, I looked on there web page a week ago for chainsaw boots and theirs were cheap also trousers were they trying to get are money and do a runner. All anyone that wants money back is follow letter on web page.
  24. I ve anchored some big trees with loader tractor with bucket stuck in ground and had tirfor with a double pull to pull rope, when hooked winch rope of land rover to rope and used that as main puller. When I work for someone he alway hung a large pulley block on were winch cable joined pull rope to give extra weight to it so if winch didn't keep up weight of rooe/pulley block took over.
  25. Looking for a pair of lightweight chainsaw boots for the summer months anyone know a good pair to go for.
