    Like I said, I'm far from an expert on the matter. The OP has stated there are no TPOs on the trees affected. So he can do anything with them without the involvement of the LA. He could top, fell or even several the roots lawfully if he so chose, but now they're planning permission in place he has to jump through these hoops? It doesn't make sense. To the OP, might well be more cost effective to remove the nearest tree prior to submitting anything more to the council. Could you perhaps post photos of the trees to give us an idea?

    I'm by no means an expert on the subject. I'm surprised you had to go to the extent of an arb survey for trees that weren't protected by a tpo or CA. It wouldn't be the first time planning officers have acted outside their remit. If they aren't protected you can basically do what you like to them whether it's felling them to make way for your extension, or simply by ruining them with the proposed works. I think you need a second opinion, preferably by a qualified surveyor with no conflict of interest.

    Come on then, how much did he charge and was it a straight fell?
  4. Joe Newton
    Very frustrating

    Why are the pieces so small Mark? Looks like most of the could've been hand balled. Surely that's not the machines limit?

    I'm not sure this is correct.

    Insta would be better, he's most active on there. https://instagram.com/dbtree?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Or his website is: https://www.treesolutionsfiji.com/

    Who wants to be climbing in a 10 year old saddle? You'd have to replace bits so frequently it would be more cost effective to buy two standard ones

    It's quite apparent you could learn a lot from more educated members of this forum if you weren't trying to be smarter than you are.

    Not sure, thought most of them were 3.2 V6 The Grand Cherokee used to run the 2.7 CRD block which was pretty bulletproof but they moved on to a less reliable 3.0 Engines that live too long don't make the manufacturer much money.

    Very reliable and very capable off road, but thirsty af and a bit wallowy round corners

    You absolutely can, otherwise all those Johnson's baby oil adverts would be downright weird/erotic.
  13. Joe Newton
    Yeah I can do that mate. Just down the road in rugby

    What chipper did you go for, Don?

    I might be wrong but you'll need an extra hitch/friction system in there. One for the wire core and another for whatever rope you'll use. Don't bother with 2 40m ropes, get one 25m and one 45m, that way you're not dragging 45m of rope round a small tree.

    Oh the irony

    Reckon you could have saved a bit of typing there.

    I have never seen an air line damage a filter. From experience of owning this saw I would echo Mark's advice. Good clean with carb cleaner gets rid of the oily residue and a good blast of the airline brings it back to new. Also from experience I would avoid messing with the carb settings if the saw is otherwise running OK. They're fiddly buggers and can be difficult to get back to factory settings.

    It's the same as working for people with dog shit covered gardens, or clients who are after the lowest possible price and want to negotiate, or the old dear who doesn't want her spring bulbs and herb garden damaging on a big dismantle. Most of us would rather avoid the aggro of we don't need the work that badly. It's never just going to be a case of turning up and doing the job. You stand to lose money easily so often it's not worth getting involved in.

    Got a link for that? Is it reversible? Edit: just saw the link, cheers
  21. Joe Newton
    Sounds like you're looking for an employee.
  22. Joe Newton
    Yeah but all of these big boy firms are available to hire. Sometimes the most profitable thing is to be a middleman. Let the small firms price it for their kit. Get a quote from a bigger firm for the job and stick whatever you want on. Easiest money you'll ever make
  23. Joe Newton
    Their budget is irrelevant to you. Don't make the mistake of "winning" unprofitable work. Suss out how long it'll take you with whatever kit you need and put a good enough amount on for contingency and profit.

    Are you talking about the 500i or 2511?

    It is infantile. That was my point. So is suggesting that someone from the internet met you to settle your differences the "old fashioned way" Never mind. It's not funny when you have to explain it.
