Hi Paul, I trust you’re well, Alex is looking at doing some education to level 4, what would you suggest? Regards Jim

The inline fuel filter should be full of fuel, it’s not, it’s either a blockage in the tank/ pipeline or it’s a fuel pump issue. Start at the tank, drain it of all fuel, and clean it out, then disconnect the fuel line up to the inline and blow it out.

I wouldn’t entertain buying one, they’re a crock of shit.

Is 35 too old to start a career as a tree surgeon?
Jcarbor replied to Hound-Dogg's topic in General chat
Why is 35 way too late? Depends on the person and their drive. I started at 40, I was fit as a butchers dog and driven by a desire to succeed that I’ve had all through my life ( ex Bootneck and NHS Paramedic ) If he’s got the drive to succeed then that will help, I’m near the end of my Arb career at nearly 60 but I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and still am, I’ve got from it things that I would never had if I had stayed a Paramedic, I have a healthy successful company and a not so healthy knackered body [emoji23]. Go for it I say and good luck. -
This has been going on for years, it’s not just gypos that do it, I’m forever coming across new one man bands with a van and a chainsaw. People use them because they’re “ value for money” then they’re left with damage or a shit load of waste not cleared up. People knock the AA but they do give a company some credibility that they have at least made an effort to prove that at some point of time they have been vetted and reached a point where that company is doing the right things.

If it was my site and he was working alongside me then I’d take on the liability, if I had employed the sub contractor to do the complete job, ie with all his kit his staff and no Input From us then it’s his problem to sort out. A good example of an incident that we had was a subby tractor operator knocked over a solid stone gate post, I was well pissed off but didn’t make an issue of it, we repaired it, it’s one of those things that happen in a job with big kit and high risk. Don’t worry about it, it will happen many more times in your career. At least no one was hurt, that’s when you need to worry.

The best way to avoid that sort of incident is don’t drive like a f#@king idiot.

Firewood business ? Could we make it profitable in the first 2 years
Jcarbor replied to Nickb123's topic in Picture Forum
Trigger Andy, the way around the issue is to do what we do, become a registered self supplier, you need to kit yourself up to be able to process store and dry your timber down to below 20% moisture. It’s costs a fair bit of money to do, but if you have access to a reliable supply of free timber it’s worth it. My out lay was the bio mass boiler and installation, a new steel watertight open fronted structure to store logs in, a telescopic loadall, two wood processors and 200 ibcs. It’s been burning for over two years and provides heat and hot water for 3 properties. -

I’ve been in the Arboricultural/ forestry game for a long time, I’ve tried selling firewood, lots of overheads and very little profit and lots of moaning customers ( it’s too big it’s too small! ) I decided to invest £28 k in a biomass burner just to get rid of my never ending timber problems, best thing I have ever purchased. -
I’ve just spent 1/2 an hour searching service nettles aluminium panels!! ?

A lovely place to work at today on the banks of the river Derwent in North Yorkshire.

Bloody hell, that’s a sad set of events.

This picture was taken when flying our drone in a thunderstorm, it’s not a great image but that said what is amazing about it is it shows the exact moment that a house in Haxby North Yorkshire was struck by lightning and destroyed by fire. Thankfully no one was hurt.
