  1. Depends, if it's still skinnyish I'll switch to a 560 or similar for a faster cut. No absolute rules. If it suddenly gets fat, like an oak, I'll go bigger.
  2. Easiest mod ever. 1 Allen key, baffle out = absolute ripper!
  3. Ps, anyone who has cut a lot of these hedges will know what great "safe" spaces they can be for song birds to nest.
  4. Me too, I can't understand what you're talking about. (Quoting Skyhuck's post)
  5. Very difficult reductions done very well. Technically the most difficult part of this job. Props to all.
  6. Gives them something to write/justify the fee.
  7. That's not 90cm diameter, circumference maybe. What with the steps and wall etc, zero chance of heave. Remove it in one go.
  8. Those are limes by the look of it, taking back to old cuts would be standard.
  9. Seems fairly straightforward. Are you asking what it means or is it "good" tree work?
  10. Big stuff John. You're not muckin' abaht!
  11. Ok, thanks for the explanation. My mate uses his rotator to take a lot of stuff away for me, he's an expert but I go nowhere near it when he's swinging it about.
  12. Ha ha. Nice bit of kit, can't help thinking you're a bit vulnerable there under the grab. Them's heavy buggers, lot of swing. Not tempted to use a chain? Good stuff nevertheless.
  13. Sorry to hear this Jonny. Don't let the b'stards grind you down.
  14. Funnily enough I got this email from rototech today. Don't thing 500 quid will get you far but worth a google and a look.
  15. Agreed, If it's not really windy and you rig small or bomb.
  16. No, but if it's the owner operator using it exclusively and the rollers were on slow..... Bit naughty I guess.
  17. Surely dual is better? Every chip truck I've seen uses twin wheels. Or am I missing something here?
