Cheers for the link, I didn't see that one. That'll do

Can anyone help? I don't have time to get to the shop so want to order a new visor online. It's the first time I've done this. Can I replace the petzl mesh visor with an unbranded one? I have this helmet https://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products/petzl-vertex-vent-climbing-helmet-assembly-msa-sordin-ears-26snr-mesh-visor/petzl-vertex-vent-climbing-helmet-assembly-msa-sordin-ears-26snr-mesh-visor-white/?gclid=CjwKCAiAqIHTBRAVEiwA6TgJw0Hl3BFKxdBj0CfUEMXyvLZTiLgf_ffM_DInWD8KInv-Jvz3gqGu0BoC4X8QAvD_BwE Thanks!

I don't do quite the same type of tree work as the specialists! Generally it's damaged, fallen and pruning.

I'm considering selling my setup as I haven't used it for anything other than washing mowers out, and I can use a Karcher for that! Bought a year ago: 1x Honda GX390 interpump pressure washer on trolley 20m hose Lance and a range of nozzles 1x 1000litre IBC with cage and crate 1x 18 inch flat surface cleaner The system will draw water from the IBC or work from mains. 21 lpm, 3000psi. Price is £1500. The system has had around 3 hours use at most so is good as new. Let me know if you're interested. It's a proper commercial setup designed to work.

The stihl fs55 and fs90 etc have horrendous vibration levels! I used one for an hour and got rid of it instantly. I have a tanaka tbc230s for verti strimming and it's much better, though I have still not actually found a small straight shaft loop handle strimmer that's low on vibes. The tanaka is on it's 3rd year without a single repair required. Starts easily and is mega light in weight.

It's one thing being all cocky and talk of £120-150 etc, but in reality you would have a very low chance of getting this job at that price. Understandably, this is what people who are fully booked and don't need the work say, but the 'realistic' fair price for this job is under £100. It is fair on the client and fair on the contractor. We can all make a profit on 1hr jobs charged at £60. Get 5 of these a day and as a 1-man outfit you're doing well. I'd typically have gone for around the 70 mark, and I know I make a decent living WITH profit AND contingency funds. This job would be 45 minutes (15 mins cutting, the rest setting up and clearing up).

Not sure what size you need but JBS in Kirky have an eliet pro.

As an employer I agree that the OP has messed him about and caused grief and financial loss, so expecting full payment on top of accomm and the hassle is unreasonable. It is high time employment laws started to favour employers more. After all, it is US who put most into the economy and benefit society the greatest.

Not sure how it works but the tools should be pro models with acceptable vibration levels. If they are not you should be able to approach it as a need for specific equipment to enable you to do your job safely. What models of gear do you use?

The most sensible thing to do is use a number of tonne bags and fill them just enough. They stack much closer than any other form of tubs etc. I have about 20 of them and have had them all on the trailer at times semi-full.

Question: Can I pay cash? Answer: Yes you can and we give a 10% discount on the quoted GROSS price for this facility. Hrm...

Which area is it you live in?

Jordan, send me a pm as I may occasionally have a shift or two and live in Torrance just ten mins away. Ground maintenance, tree clearance, spraying, etc.

I don't know if they do landy seats but I got covers for my transit from vanrobes at £70 and they are excellent, very smart, tough, cleanable and they embroider your company name on them too.

The only tool you need is a good backpack blower. Get a Stihl BR600. You blow everything onto lawns before you cut the grass and let the mower pick it all up. Sand and soil can be blown back into shrub beds, cigarette butts are blown into corners making it easy to scoop them up with a shovel, overflowing gravel and pebbles are blown back onto the gravel area etc etc. You also blow everything out from under hedges and shurbs (i.e. debris and leaves) to be mowed up when grass cutting. No other type of tool will do as thorough a job of clearing up rubbish from borders and under hedges. The BR600 is virtually my MOST important tool, and I do a lot of ground maintenance. It clears up cores after hollow tine aeration, disperses any clumps of grass after mulching, moves dog foul out of the way before cutting grass... honestly, the list is endless. Without it my quality would suffer and so would my profit. This is from someone who does the job day in day out and has tried most methods.

I have a tanaka TBC230 and it's rubbish - the vibrations are far too high. I used it for edging lawns and replaced it with a Husqvarna equivalent. It is NOT a professional machine. I use an Echo SRM4000u and it's good. I just wish I could find the parts to use it with a blade head as well as the line trimmer. Once it breaks down I expect to be replacing the machine as Echo are awful for spare part availability. I will likely go for a Husqvarna 345.

Not what you ideally want but I'll need p/t landscape maintenance op from 01 April if you want to at least get out in the open air!

That would really be at home in any collection or museum. Excellent!

I hope she gets an order banning her from ever keeping animals again. Horrible woman.

My echo srm4000 is smooth as a baby's bum, and just goes on and on. I do hear that if you need major spare parts they are a bugger to get and expensive too, so I'd probably go for a husqy 345rx if buying another one.

Us 4-eyes don't have it easy. I have the added complication of scarring on my eyes from operations 10 years ago so I can't wear contacts or get lasered. It's specs all the way. The stihl goggles appealed to me as the huge space inside them should allow a bit more air to circulate which means they hopefully won't steam up as fast. Maybe I should give up saw use!

I have bought a couple pairs of stihl ultrasonic ones in the end. The large space inside them is appealing, and they won't fog up anywhere near as much as the cheap plastic goggles I use now. Thanks for the input.

He's not far from Glenshee - tell him to get up there and enjoy the time off on some skis!
