  2. Local church magazine are a great form of advertising yourself im in two and get a great deal of work from them both.
  3. Im with you on this. I wouldn't go sticking silly high call out prices on a simple small job, if it was me and in my local village id prob just do it at normal rates might add abit extra on for getting socked and dragging me out off the warm.
  4. Yep just get them to contact weston power they will send a member of staff out to evaluate the situation then contact smerdons to carry out the work, shouldn't cost them as its weston powers job to insure lines are clear.
  5. Does anyone know the correct torque for the nut on the end rotor nose shaft? Can't find it in the manual!
  6. Thanks for suggestions guys, maybe its time to replace the bearings I usually change them around every 400hrs with no problems. As it my machine blade are always sharpe and no **** goes through it, well not much
  7. HI, Using our Timberwolf chipper today and noticed on tick over this strange sound every so often like the bearings knocking!! Lifted the black plastic roller cover to get a better look and noticed the nut on the end of the rotor shaft was slack!! Tightened it up and it ran fine again!! No knocking and running smoothly. What im wanting to know why would the nut be slack was it never tightened correct when bearings were changed around 200hrs ago, and with the nut slack Im imagining its damaged the bearings but its running smoothly now.
  8. Cheers Rob forgot about that.

  13. Update on my call out from the customer who phoned me earlier, the electric board come as I told him to ring them and arrange for them to come out and take a look at it, Then be on site on the friday when we take the tree down. They came and deemed it too dangerous and needed sorting asap so had there contractor's out apparently 8 of them and they weren't getting on too well (customers words) shame as I stuck £1,500 on it. But at least the customer saved. They even said they would clean up and remove all arisings! !!
  14. Haha that would be some sight trying to up right it a few straps and as good as new lol. No just pull it down it already snapped the top out of the conifer and should miss the shed its the safest options so im sticking with it.
  15. Once I begin pulling it, it will gracefully fall to the floor, as it is now its just hung up, the root plate is completely rotten.
  16. Just had this call out monster Lime tree uprooted, just cleared the drive way and said we'd be back friday to take her down, as its over top of electric lines so will need the power company on site before we tackle it. My plan of action tractor with 6.5 ton winch, Rope around trunk and pull the hole tree back from the lines.
  17. Ye at first I could see his point but by the end I just wanted him to shut up and get a life.
