  1. Hi, I could do with a climber on a Thursday and or friday this week and or next week if anyone has free days? Sycamore takedowns tall but simple. Cheers, Michael 07817940659

  3. It's not aftermarket, my 1999 entec has one. My memory might be quite wrong but I think I spoke to a timberwolf guy once who told me that the two speed unit was replaced with what is now standard whenever a machine came in to have the stop bar upgraded to comply with new regulations. Something like that anyway... I think it's a great asset; switch to slow for anything dead and hard or particularly big to keep the vibrations down. That's how it works in my head anyway Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. Hello. I've got a 99 enter dbh35 chippit. Recently had the cooling system apart to gain access to a bearing, flushed radiator and new fluid, but I don't know if that has any bearing on my new problem as the machine has filled a good few trucks with chip since, and I'm sure I would have noticed if it had been pissing out pink bubbles each time... anyway, coming out of my overflow hose on the rad I have coolant, and with the cap removed lovely pink bubbles everywhere. The coolant is the normal browny green and the level hasn't changed visibly, although I stopped work when I first noticed the puddle. The machine was working unusually hard (I didn't want to deal with loads of conifer cordwood) but I don't feel it was particularly hot when we noticed the leak. Took it to a friendly garage where I twice tested for exhaust fumes in the radiator. The first time I did get a slight color change, but the second one time no color change. It occurs to me now that the first time I may have been dumb enough to give the pippet a couple of test squeezes while standing in front of the chipper exhaust... The rad cap seems in functional order, ie clean and moves on the spring.. I have yet to try flipping the rubber seal over incase the edges are tired. It doesn't leak when turned off, so hard to see how I could have an air leak causing bubbles, unless it's only apparent when the rubber is warm?.... I was all set (and kind of looking forward) to replacing the head gasket, but what with the test results I'm now scratching my head. When running, the coolant visible under the cap is gushing about like a high pressure hose held just under the surface of a pool, if that makes sense. Has anyone got any pointers? Thanks for any advice, Michael
  5. Hello, I've got oil weeping out of the seal/bearing which mounts the main drive pulley which drives the belt powering the alternater and water pump (circled in red). Could you tell me what this part is called? I've got a phobia of sounding like a complete dunce when ordering parts over the phone. It's the original Kubota engine. Many thanks, Michael
  6. Something no one's mentioned yet; dry saw dust soaked in diesel. Can be mixed up in the yard, needs to soak for a while. I find a small handful when squeezed into a ball will burn for up to 20 minutes, the perfect fire starter on wet days.
  7. Long shot at short notice but worth a try... Jobs near Long Melford or can start from Bury St Edmunds. Thinning out x2 Plane trees one of which has limited dropzone. PM me on here, cheers. Michael
  8. Hello. I am looking for a reliable and competent* climber for irregular days. Good rate of pay. Nothing too strenuous so let me help you fill days in your diary! I have jobs waiting to go. Michael Edwards Springhall Tree Care 07925853973 daytime 07817940659 evenings (txt or voicemail prefered as small baby) *Not necessarily the fastest climber in the northern hemisphere, you just have to be a bit better than me so that I don’t get frustrated grounding for you (and I'm fat with a bad back).
  9. Here's what the tree looked like in early August. The previous pics were indeed taken in mid spring. It's not in great shape but at least it's leafed up.
  10. Thanks, that's what the wife says too lol. It's ment to be arty, plus it loads quickly.
  11. What about mine? I did it myself ages ago, mainly as an online business card and an interesting diversion, and I would take on board any suggestions gratefully. http://www.springhalltreecare.co.uk Thanks, Michael P.s. Having just had a look at my website the mobile optimization leaves something to be desired
  12. As above, I need some help with domestic tree work in the local area. Work load varies so would suit flexiable self employed. Any interest please PM me on here. Michael Edwards
  13. <p>Hi Steve, Ive just put a post in the homeowner advice section, thinking now it should probeably be in the tree health care bit. If you get a second do you mind moving it? Cheers, Micheal</p>

  14. Hello. Had a look at this Walnut today. The color of the leaves has thrown me a bit and rather than drive around until I find another walnut I thought id ask on here! The bark looks like common walnut I think. Prob not a black or japanese, Dont know about Butternut? The catkins look ok. So my question is does the crown look overly sparse for this time of year, and is the red hue normal? There is a fair bit of deadwood and more than half the root area is under compacted ground. Sorry for quality of pics Many thanks, Michael
  15. Thanks Andy for the post. I met Wally about 9 years ago, new to the industry, and with his help I gained my qualifications and lots of knowledge which has kept me alive up the trees. Wally - my thoughts are with you and your wife at this difficult time. Michael

  20. Hi all, As in the title, does anyone know where I could loose 5 to 7 3.5 ton truck fulls of conifer chippings? Job site is about 10 mins East of Stevenage. Also need to find a home for a certain amount of conifer rings... If anyone can help or point me towards a green waste recycling site (not found anything particularly local on google) please pm me or contact me on 07925 853973 Many thanks, Michael Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
