We use the term "tree inspection" when going for a pee on sight incase were overheard by the customer. I nearly got caught last week when looking casual having a pee behind a conifer. I felt a tap on my shoulder from the customer who had no idea what I was doing. He pointed over my shoulder at some old prickly branches on the floor and asked if I would mind putting them through the chipper. So I managed to stop peeing and bent down and picked up the pile of pee covered spikey branches covering the fact I was still hanging out. Then had to walk out in to the road and put them in the chipper hopper and rapidly put myself away before being arrested for having it dangling around in the street!

It's nothing to get excited about.

About 1hr 30mins. About 1/3 was rotten and soft which helped!

Here's a big lime next to a foot path we did this week with the predator.

I've got the Koni Heavy Track Raid shocks and they are awesome. They could be used on lorries or something. Perfect for a defender Tipper! -
Cheers, just ordered some. Will let you know how it works.

I guess it's a learning curve for me to find the best way to be prepared for this kind of thing. It's difficult as a small Buisness. On one hand you gotta take first class care of your blokes. The other side is Iam not getting as many jobs done so the money isn't coming in. Maybe encouraging everyone to have personal accident insurance and have a long list of capable subbies to step in quick so at least you don't loose the income would be the best plan. Anyone got any other ideas?

It's a right pain as he's a team leader/ climber.

One of my employees has just broken his ankle at home at the weekend. He's probably going to be off for quite a while. He has got personal injury insurance. As far as being an employee what's the score with normal entitlements in this situation?

If you get RPAX it will cover everything but income protection. It's fairly cheap and covers trips to sandy places as well.

Hi chaps, I've got a Job to do in Eltham, London. ( out of our usual AO) It means parking the chipper at the side of the road / on the pavement. The road is wide enough not to disrupt the traffic. Do you need permission from the council to stop on red lines all times or just normal working hours? Thanks Nick

Defo get the 28RX I've got one. The fuel cost between the two is massive!

Iam with you Stefan. Cherry Picker for me to please

I've not seen an upgrade yet. I've stopped using mine until I can get some decent Ear Defs for it.

Here's the whole tree. Luckily the split stem is on the back only overhanging my field. Do you think a solid bar just above the split then a cable brace much higher with a bit of a reduction all round?
-
I've got a large Oak tree at home which has a big split between stems. Would cable bracing work if I winched it back together? I really don't want to have to take it down.

Only problem with pulling them out is getting rid of them all! At least with grinding your not left with big holes in the garden and lots of big stumps to get rid of!

It would certainly be useful!
