  1. I have a kwikchip 160 and the engine starts runs and revs up fine but as soon as you engage the flywheel and show it a branch it bogs down and take ages to build up to full speed again.

     

    I've changed the fuel filter and fuel pump also had a full engine survice.

     

    Just wondered if anyone has any ideas on what else it could be

     

    Thanks

  2. Ive got the small tools its just a van but I dont want an old dog that will be off the road more than on it. Im looking at around 7-9grand on a half decent van. The chipper and grinder I can borrow or hire for now but just dont have that sort of money

  3. Hi guys and girls. Im starting on my own this year and want a bit of advice on whether to get a business loan from the bank or get the bigger items on finance.

     

    What are the pros and cons of either.

     

    Can you suggest a finance company if this is the way to go

     

    Thanks Adam

  5. Yesterday was a bad day for me as we had been sent to reduce 2 big arse london planes in Tottenham high st. Now planes are a bastard at the best of times but these 2 were over the roofs of 5 storey buildings footpaths and a main road. I had got to site and for some reason I thought I dont like the look of these so another climber done the first one and I got up the second. I positioned my rope and had the saw sent up still in the back of my mind I was getting nervous and panicked. I did about quarter of the tree and then boom out of nowhere I had a panic attack and had to get down. I then kicked myself for the rest of the day as the other climber finished it off for me whilst I chipped up. It really got to me as ive done bigger more awkward trees in the past
