And that’s great, because it suits the work you do. Most people aren’t working on that scale. -
What sort of size are you looking at? What have you been hiring?

I read that Russia employs NK tree fallers around the area where they have a very small border. The money is paid direct to the NK government. But that’s just what I read, as likely to be BS as not.

Unless you are regularly doing large, clearance style work a big chipper is not worth it. The modern sub 750 chippers like the TW230 or the GM/Forst/Jensen equivalent are miracles of engineering. Most domestic arb jobs involve a few hours of chipping a day at best.

Would you mind telling the wife for me?

That really cuts down payload (as you probably know) Considered a single cab/no toolbox option?
-
Well put.
-
Do you need a toolbox on it behind the cab?
-
Planted too deep.

Client gave me a bottle of red with a firm recommendation, so rude not to try it. A 2022 Julienas, going down nicely. A mixed week here, breakdowns, weather cancellations, but we’re still here in the fight on a Friday so, cheers!

I run a 75hp Schliesing, along with a 35hp TW230. The 230 does nearly everything, apart from the odd hedge removal the German stays in the shed. Most stuff over 7’’ is easier to load with the machine into a traile It is a good back up chipper though, so it stays for the moment.

Leylandii hedge close to house - to remove or not to remove?
Mick Dempsey replied to cambadvice's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
It loved it! At least till it overheated because of a blocked radiator. After the job was done we took it off and had it pressure tested and cleaned by pros. Got a similar job that was scheduled for this week, but rained off. -

We started off cutting at the base with a view to grinding. Half way through it became clear that we were behind schedule. Not least because thujas are a bastard to cut low without blunting the chain. So I had a go at yanking them out and suddenly I got that rush of endorphins you get when you know you’re going to finish early and on budget. -

I wish! Interdit Stubs. Cut the root off and slammed it through the Schliesing. -

Yes it’s cheap laughs, but they’re better than no laughs.

Quel cauchemar !

Thomas Tuchel is the England manager! The FA are bold and no fecks given. Good luck to him.

The Russell Brand fan club must be busy deleting old posts.

If nothings else is available I’ll suck the beer out of a pub carpet to avoid sobriety.

Besides, who’s going to keep an eye on proceedings when I’m off doing a chip run?
-
Should have doubled the fine for the terrible hairpiece.

Anyway, to answer the OP. Choose your dog carefully. If it’s coming to work everyday maybe a smaller one that won’t scare the clients or kill their pets (or children) Both our dogs were rescues/rehomes that were already house trained and we knew travelled well in cars. Have a contingency plan. Igor can stay home on hot days, he can have the run of the garden, with entrance in and out of the house, not ideal from a security pov, but when it broiling here, him sitting in the van, even in the shade is out of the question.

Charlie, my Cocker loved coming to work as well, first in the van as soon as the door was open. Greedy little dog though, always looking for food, straight up to the client with the spaniel eyes!

In 2023? Don’t make me laugh! I had already stated on 2 or 3 occasions that Mountain Man was me. Loads of people knew it, Steve did, I told him just after he unbanned me. He then shut down MM. I have never used more than one account at a time on here, you will not find one post overlapping from the three accounts.
