  1. Very true but it makes it harder for them
  2. Customer- I would like my 2 apple trees, magnolia and beech hedge tidying up and reducing to look nice over the the winter Me- no problem but how do we get the stuff out? Customer- didn't think about that, you will have to take it over the new extension roof where the path way Me- pound signs in eyes
  3. I also agree but the advantage is making it hard for cowboys to get hold of gear and stoping rough work
  4. I think if you can prove with tickets your competent you should be able to buy sharp stuff, Stihl are still down in my estimation
  5. I bet that got the heart pumping
  6. And your more than welcome to pay me to!!
  7. I bet you were walking around all day with a chocolate bar in your pocket
  8. Surely they noticed no chipper? You can hear them a mile off when towing. I think it was taken before they set off maybe. This is what barrel locks are for
  9. You finished the job you priced and was told to do, pack gear away and all tidy... Go to the customer for payment and to see if everything is ok (whilst thinking to yourself, nice early finish today) and they say I've decided I want the other tree mullered as well
  10. Have you not got this hiab sorted yet? You've been on with this for months, just put a hatch door under the tipper and you will slowly disperse the chip along the road with no need to tip
  11. You should have felled it and planted a card board cut out
  12. "Just lop it off there mate" and also when they stand under the tree whilst your in it telling you your job!!!
  13. Does it mean free delivery to?
  14. Sign writing firewood now that's an idea
  15. I've always used straight and have nothing bad to say about them, can't comment on the curved silkies but can't imagine there's much difference?
  16. Iron them flat and I will be checking for creases

    Greenfingers?

    I'm good mates with the lad your taking the place of, I think he left because he didn't like the way he was spoken to by the bosses in different situation that could not be helped for example the vans being broken into. They still mostly work for housing companies with not much interesting work
  20. They look absolutely shocking but may be better for thick ivy filled trees?
  21. Oooo 540 for added pain, don't want it to happen to fast
  22. No point waring yourself out swinging a hammer just Sellotape there hands to a pto shaft and let the machine do the work or is that a bit far?

    Sketchy job!

    I'm with you on this I've never and will never need to, I rarely need to lower just cut and chuck, it's faster and you can keep the groundy moving instead of being tied to a line! I have a few slings for the bigger stuff I cut and chuck, it benefits by having a better grip but most of all doesn't twist your wrist off!
  24. I don't know what's better being paid for trimmings or them raking it up for you!
  25. Yer but if she doesn't he has just lost a grand. Like he says everyone else likes what he's done
