  1. The laces are a great finishing touch! So creative Has an old woman moved in yet?
  2. Might be worth having a look at the Pitchcare used machinery section? For Sale | Pitchcare Used Machinery
  3. Maybe if you tell the lads how much they are to replace - and say they might have to pay for it next time - it'll sink in!
  4. That's terrible - far too much of this around at the moment Hopefully the uniqueness of the item will make it a little easier to locate.
  5. Air Spade sounds like one of the classic jokey requests - like tartan paint and spirit level bubbles! I was going to suggest Tutex as well, seems to be very few other UK sellers.
  6. If the trees in the area are quite diverse, you could give them a piece of paper with the shape of some leaves and the name of the trees, and get them to try and find the leaf that fits each picture, teach them tree identification! TGB's safety points are obviously relevant again for this one!
  7. There are some great Blec ones - we hire out the Uniseeder pedestrian overseeder and the tractor mounted Disc seeder and Multiseeder if you're looking at bigger machinery.
  8. Looks fancy - might just be how clean it is!! Has anyone used one? What do you think in comparison to a normal stump grinder - faster, quieter, more difficult?
  9. Ooh not good! Hope he had some good chainsaw trousers on...
  10. Brilliant - so detailed! They must be thrilled with it
  11. Looking great! The heart shape for the face is brilliant
  12. He's great - love the little smile! You'll need to put out a lot of cat food for one that size..!
  13. We hire out the Barreto Rotovators which are excellent - if it can survive being hired it must be pretty robust! Might be worth seeing if you can get one of them from somewhere? If you want to come take a look at one or if you get stuck and need to hire, just give us a call, we're only over in Henfield - Acacia Groundcare
  14. The fur looks brilliant!
  15. Congrats!
  16. Oh dear... that's why you should use professionals... Awfully close to those wires too - he got off lightly really!
  17. Acacia can repair chippers - not sure if we'll be the most local company for you in Guildford though as we're Henfield way! Have you tried looking in any local magazines/directories? - Acacia Groundcare
  18. One issue with less known brands can be getting the replacement parts - have a check and see if you can get hold of them easily and cheaply, especially if they are coming from abroad. A cheaper initial outlay may lead to higher costs further down the line! We hire out Carlton Stump Grinders, which are brilliant. Have you had a look on Arbtrader?
  19. Arbtrader and Pitchcare may have some In fact, the pitchcare one is here: For Sale: Timberwolf | Pitchcare Used Machinery - Acacia Groundcare
  20. Hello Jack88, I've just completed our risk assessment here too - HSE website is great for the basics and explains it fairly simply with the 5 step process. Some HSE Risk Assessment Examples Template for Risk Assessments If you can find your old ones, you can just update them to keep it simple, otherwise just search for example Tree Surgeon Risk Assessments - the one suggested is brilliant (click here for the tree surgeon examples of documents) - Acacia Groundcare
  21. Love the owl on the books, and the hand looks great! Good luck with your event
  22. Hello Avantgardener, Acacia Groundcare can deliver you a Carlton SP2010 and SP4012, they aren't tracked but the 2010 is great for getting through smaller spaces between trees and the wheels are ideal for rough/muddy surfaces. If you cannot find what you are looking for just get in touch! We're just over in Henfield, by Brighton.
  23. You could check with police, if they've been reported stolen they might have the serial numbers?
  24. The Ecoplugs are a great option for being environmentally friendly, especially for use around waterways. They are pretty easy to use with low chance of injury etc, and they will fit in small areas that a machine might not. The downsides seem to be that they take 4-6 weeks to kill the stump (a touch longer than a stump grinder!) and they recommend the use of 7 plugs for an 11" stump diameter which could get expensive! If you have any environmentally concerned customers, they would be ideal.
  25. Acacia use/hire out Greenmech Chippers, which are absolutely brilliant. The Greenmech team have thought of so many useful touches! Even though the Greenmech is more money to start, the repairs/servicing costs may end up being much lower - maybe look into the cost of parts for them both. Have you thought about hiring both for a day or getting a demonstration from the dealers so you can get a feel for the features and differences? - Acacia Groundcare
