I know what you're saying but you can't blame him, who wants a leylandii(?) Like that in their garden anyway. The maple(?) Would look a lot better with that gone!

Maple staying. Leylandi too close to services.

Jut bought property with medium fir tree to front. Retired Arborist with enough kit to drop to ground level but no access to chipper, tipper or local contacts.

Anyone in Llandeilo area able to chip and remove waste?

Can send pics. Costs, dates available?

Just a quick heads up. If you are the crew/firm working along Chavenage Lane Nr Tetbury then maybe think twice before you try to run a cyclist off the road with your van and chipper on a trailer. Shouting profanities out the window does not help either. I did not get your number but if you are on the job tomorrow I will get your reg number.

If its you and you have the balls to own up and apologise then fair enough.

if not, then take ownership of your reckless behaviour. As an Arborist riding a bike legally and with due care I would expect better. What a disgrace to the profession.

Friends have bought a house on outskirts of Hereford and previous owners had some tree work done that has been a complete farce. They have 8 or so conifers that have been tppped and cut, leaving behind standing trunks approx 15/20 foot high and up to 25 inch diameter.

They need them removing and stump ground. Three of the larger ones they want converted to lumber that can be seasoned on site and used for some garden seating at a later date.

Anyone in the area that might be able to help?

Outside of my patch.

Chip and conifer branches.

Any ideas?

Holford Arms is at Knockdown and Not Tetbury. Bit out on its own at a crossroads and reckon the camping is there for the show. Tetbury a taxi or drive option but lots of pubs and Royal Oak and Priory worth a look.

Both cans holding up well. Stihl one for pre mix and new Husky can for Aspen. Husky can a good deal with all spouts etc AND you can see the levels in it. Stihl one slightly thicker moulding and I would say s longer lasting can out in the field.......twice the price though.😤😲 fuel easy to see in both cans.

Ah it's brand new or was last week. Looks s bit different now:biggrin:

Also got given the new Husky one but have not used it. Looks good and comes with all spouts etc which is much better value than the Stihl one. Bad timing but happy with the Stihl.

Old husky combi can just crap quality on the threads and the petrol cap would often mid align if over tightened and the leak if it fell over.

All sorted now and moved to another job for the same client as we had turned up for this one. Leave original until birdies have left. It's a job in the bag for the future.

Fitted my quick fill on there today BUT you have to have the screw in blanking plate to cover the open end of the spout in place. Have to pics to prove...., first stihl can I have owned😄😃 Better than a Rubicks Cube😄😃

Thank you for all the help here folks. Managed to borrow a set of binocolours so will have a much better idea within an hour or so and with no disturbance to our feathered friends if they are in there. Lengths we go to for red tape in this country .🛂🚫😇

Will have closer look tomorrow. Garden owner says he has seen magpies in tree but not sure if they are actually nesting. Ladder job to check. Seems unlikely they are as a demolish and rebuild within metres of the hawthorn. Mrs Landowner thought a nest as the birds had been in the tree this week😳🔮📢🍋

Just turned up to a job for tomorrow and there is a magpie nest in the middle of hawthorns I have been asked to remove in a garden. Any issues? No eggs and owner reckons they have been building for a week.

Any help, need to start job tomorrow, no other nest in vicinity .

Looking forward to another full week with mine.

Evening all, back online and busy now it's windy.

Weekend warrior as opposed to full time but just love being outdoors and not in an office. Two weeks holiday now so happy to work these to pay Arb bills. Hope majority of you are all busy and finding work.

Now looking for a yard share or land share near any of the following

Cirencester, Stroud, Malmesnury, Tetbury, or anywhere near to these.

Store logs, very small amount ofchip and space for a 8x5 trailer would be brilliant. No other kit storage needed. Part time at weekends and holidays so happy with small space.

Anyone in the know:confused1:

Picked one up today from local supplier to replace a 181CBE as a general back up and truck back saw. Did two sycamore jobs and good 16 inch cuts just to try out. What a great little saw. It's very light for its power and my other saws are Husky XP,s and 540 XP so used to slim and revvy saws.

Well on Aspen from the get go this thing has revved its heart out and pulled through some reasonable timber today. Still early as only six or so tanks through it but lots of wind blown tomorrow and might just give it another day out and leave the bigger rear handled saws in the back of the truck. Truly impressed and not a Stihl man through and through but mighty impressed so far:thumbup:

Took clutch bearing out tonight to grease just as a precaution and it was pretty dry, so glad I did this at an early stage.

Funny occurrence this pm. Local council had done a big Ash tree near to us and left timber on side of road for three days. Rang them up and they said " have it all, you will doing us a favour" Converted all to firewood and it all went to local old ladies to help them through the winter.

Nice to do a bit of charitable stuff now and again.

Yep if the internal wires move and try to re route themselves it an be a fiddle but at most a pain in the arse.

Will sort a black one then and ditch the crap original yellow one. Buggered if I am going to pay for one though and will be in dealers tomorrow claiming " not fit for purpose"

Well it's a crap design and will look into sealing the two filter halves and some form of heavy grease on those mating surfaces.

Just checked inside air intake and there seems to be a fair amount if dust in the there. Was expecting to see a clean intake pipe but definitely some dust residue in there after only a days work on a new saw. Is there a gasket between the filter and the housing or just a plastic to plastic seal? ( or lack of it)

Was not expecting this on a new £500 plus saw.

Anyone else had any problems or is there a seal / gasket missing on base of little yellow filter. No damage to filter .

Have a mate that has just bought one. [email protected]. He would love a chance to have this

Might just be looking for the same very soon. Chipp, trailer and some gear depending on security. If any thing comes up that is a little too big then a Share? I am nearer Babdown.
