  1. Crush it, if it smells fruity its thuja, if it's acrid and bitter its leylandii.
  2. If you have to lower it by a meter you'll need a chainsaw, the top will look dead on the inside but don't worry about it. The sides will curl over and cover them. Omlettes and eggs and all that.
  3. Lovely picture. Nice face marks as well.
  4. Sorry to hear of you two pulling blanks, but........ http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/91769-tree-surgeons-like-confetti.html I'm sure you've read this. It should be a sticky! Every time someone comes on and says "am I too old ?" or suchlike and all and sundry start with the "follow your dream" x factor stuff they should peruse it. Be careful what you wish for.
  5. Well I wouldn't be on my sofa with a cup of tea listening to Steve Wright that's for sure!
  6. Some firewood there! All done by 2 pm.
  7. Getting it into lengths with the husky 288
  8. And yet strangely my least favourite Darrin! Wind thrown ash that had taken out a roof of a house. The firemen had cut it away from the building after the storm. Had to used a timber lorry to lift it off a wall that they did not want to damage (plus it did make life easier)
  9. I know, but at that price you can keep the smaller one and bring out the beast when needed.
  10. USED Wood Chippers, JENSEN A240DI TURNTABLE - 10" - CATEGORY: WOOD CHIPPERS offered for sale £8250.00 This one comes from Germany (so probably less problems registering) looks like a beast. You should have that sitting in the shed for mass conifer destruction. Just a thought.
  11. Asbestos roofs, greenhouse, fences, tight passages, just missing telephone lines to complete the perfect job. Sycamore is a nice rigging tree though. Good job.
  12. I noticed that when I visited West Sussex (my old stomping ground) a month ago. I don't know where all they all find work. I'm not knocking them, decent vans and chippers and probably competent guys.
  13. As for the op. Have you just qualified or finished some kind of tree biology thing. I ask because it may be that you are seeing these things with new eyes. It was perhaps ever thus and you just didn't notice. A bit like this scene from "They Live" [ame] [/ame]
  14. Buy the equipment and offer a grand for the goodwill.
  15. Topping paddocks and/or a flail mower for small scrub,
  16. Rg 35 replaced my old 3 wheeled 25hp super junior recently. Well, a year ago now I think of it.
  17. So do I, happy to get rid of it for nothing locally. Not worth the time/money to sell it.
  18. Ian, I'm presuming the purpose of you spending a couple of days there was to drum up business. Was it worth it?
  19. Belts, fuel filters, don't discount fuel starvation.
