    We're Expert Installers for Jacksons. The materials don't come any better. Normally with large order you can get a discount equivalent to a key account holder. The materials don't have to be installed by an approved installer to validate the 25yr guarantee.

    It's a scam

    Control Freq do good GSM alarms that run off 12v with SIM card. You can have 4 inputs and control 2 outputs remotely. You get a call and txt within about 4seconds of activation. I use Takex quad beam sensors and control a siren and lighting with the out puts. I've got a 4G router that runs a DVR cctv system with a 100gb a month data contract with 3 for about £30p/m. We have very few false alarms but quite a few actual break in attempts but with the Cctv I can look and decide how much ammo I need to take with me

    We've got a 161 and has been really good. We normally use an AP300 battery. You can get a lot of work done with it. Much nicer to use than a 2 stroke!

    Over the years one of the down sides I've noticed of encouraging weekend work is some guys will start using your jobs as recovery time so they can put full effort in on their jobs.

    We've got a post puller and works a treat pulling the post out with the concrete on. Hole already dug!

    I got my kit from Sorbus and they give you training on it. I am not sure what particular course would help in the interpretation that's really down to years of general experience of trees and understanding what the kit can do for you and like most things time on the kit.

    Normally a Resistograph is chosen over a Picus either for the application or cost. Micro Drill - £7k Picus - £20K A Picus is really only useful on trees over 450mm diameter so anything less would be Microdrill territory. Micro Drill takes about 30 seconds to set up and use with instant feedback but only a snap shot of what's going on in the tree Picus takes about 30mins - 1hr depending on tree, measuring points, access etc but gives you more of an over view. I've got a Picus 3 and a Micro Drill. It's best to work both together as you can do a few drills to see the best location to do the Picus. Also the results of the Picus can sometimes be misleading for many different reasons and you would need to cross check with a drill before felling a tree for instance on the strength of a tomograph.

    It doesn't seem to let me on my iPhone. When I transferred it to my computer it was 100mb. What's best way to compress it?

    How do you now add a video clip. Seems different from last time. I've got a video of the pikeys stealing my kit!

    I use a vertical splitter to split the large rings in half then put them through my Splitta 400

    Have a look at CCTV42 website they have a good guide on choosing the system and the difference between camera quality so you can understand what your buying

    We use a bit of software called Fleetio. The guys all have an app and can add faults, service, fuel etc

    Boxer UK have gone as we used to know it - luckily! Steel Viper are now the Uk agents and actually understand what customer service is and are able to get parts for all boxers. Not sure how many machines they stock but pretty sure they have most models here already.
  19. Nick Connell
    You don't want customers like that!

    As a new farmer I hope that subsidies end in their current form. At the moment they cost every take payer £50 per week but there's no way they make food any cheaper. The majority of the money all ends up in big estates. It's a closed game as well as you need to buy "entitlements" for each acre of land you own to be able to claim subsidies. I went to and interesting NFU conference about global food security and it said that by 2050 the world will need 50% more food than it produces now to feed the growing population and they estimate that only an additional 5% of land could be used for agriculture. So really the only way to feed people will be through efficiency.

    This Oak tree collapsed and hit the owner who was having a fag outside the back door. He's in hospital but should survive.

    Not quite that easy. They cut through the Ukpn power supply to disable Cctv then used a disc cutter to cut through two big security gates!
