Hi 

im looking for staff for commercial tree and vegetation works across the southwest.

Days and nights available, must be able to pass a drug and alcohol test, turn up for work and have a positive attitude.

Basic requirements CSCS card driving license 

nptc tickets a bonus, plant operators etc 

starting rate £24k 

yard is based j26 M5 

I know this is a red diesel topic but it has raised a good point ref CIS VAT etc 

another point to think about  now is type of vehicle and use, if you are on a CIS classed job, your tractor trailer agri registered machine cannot be used now as it falls outside of the agri sector.

I’m sure DVSA will be out on the back of this. 
( this may have already been covered in the topic ) 

Hi 

I have a cabstar cte lift, cab needs welding up, I also have a u140 with 14m mewp on it.

I would like to mount the cte onto the mog to make it 20m. I’m struggling to find someone to loler it.

my local engineer is happy to weld it all up.

Anyone have any pointers

 Cheers 

Col at chipperhire southwest has one 

I have a working cocker bitch, great work dog, happy to ride in the van, great ball drive, will retrieve anything.

shes just had a litter of pups during lockdown, we sold them for £750.    Although this is to friends 

Did notice one thing has a small but constant air leak, takes a while to build air 

air is leaking form here 

Had the mog out at work today, few little issues with the hiab but soon figured them out, lifting some nice sized bit off overthe fence

I made up a grab that fitted the quick hitch on our 2.7 ton machine. It worked in the same plane as the tree shears but without the shear, we used it in conjunction with cutters to pull regen of about 6" + diameter trees off of step cuts. Dont think I would want to hold and slew with anything much bigger on that size machine and that was with an attachment considerably lighter than a shear.You definitely need to plan what you are doing and where you are laying it down, once you start chasing the timber to the floor you are committed, there is no standing it back up. 13 + ton machines are a different ball game.

Yea you have to plan your work, and understand the machine capabilities, it’s no where near a larger set up but you can tow it to site

cheers  

I run a tmk 200 on a yanmar 2.7t machine, I think it’s great, it will only cut up to 200mm but it has loads of power, ideal for hedge row stuff, definite labour saver 

Have you tried Col at chipper hire southwest 

Harris tree care is looking for further staff to help supports its commercial tree works and highways works 

NPTC units preferred although full training can be arranged for the right person 

All staff must pass a safety critical medical including a drug and alcohol screen

 Full time work, 28 days holiday, pension 

Great work atmosphere

Yard is based around j26 M5 Wellington somerset

Hi folks
Yanmar BV25 2004

The ignition warning buzzer has started to stay on, so turn the key to the left pre warm buzzer goes off, turn right engine starts, but now the buzzer is staying on, no other warning lights, it only started today after we washed the machine, no problems before hand 

Any ideas gent 

Thanks in advance 

Was it stolen form your yard or off site 

What type of water and type of work, ie fast flowing, shallow silt. Is it chainsaw work or in channel cutting ie hedge cutter 

we do a bit so I might have somthing 

I have a st8 very capable machine, we hand feed and machine feed the chipper, if you have a bigger chipper can you hand feed it to capacity, at the moment if we are hand feeding it it can chip what ever we can

carry to it, Normally we can’t carry it  before the chipper won’t chip it 

just my thoughts 

It’s a good revenue earner for them, some of the fines they are dishing out now are massive.

Hi folks 

Has anyone raptor painted there chipper

any photos ?

cheers 

Give col a ring at southwest chipper hire he has some safe tracks and standard tracked chipper 

Here is my first arb digger, it’s not the newest machine but beats handballing any day 

I got a lwb movano, very good van , 5 seats and sleeps four, we looked at T5s but they were to small you defo want a high roof van
