I think this dude is barking up the wrong tree

Clients plant their own trees as a rule, or pay landscape gardeners to do it. -

Tell the client it’s not ideal and the possible consequences, if they still want to do it, fine, do it or don’t. You’ve given your professional advice. As for the setting up of businesses by people who know nothing, great, more fresh vital organs for me when the liver decides to hand in its P45. -

It’s the people agreeing with him that blew my mind. -

Saw it on FB, decided not to post anything. -
Yes, my current hired man is world class at that.

It’s a battle tbh, I am undoubtedly a bit careless, so knowing that, I try consciously to make sure I place stuff like ground saws under chippers where they cannot be run over by loaders. Most tree sites are (to a certain extent) lunatic asylums with noise, shouting and stuff dropping, so I don’t really lose much sleep over little bits like this, it’s inconvenient and a few quid, it happens. Stuff like ropes going through chippers, groundies wandering under a dropsite, careless placing of saws and reckless use of the loader really get my gander up, which is not a pretty sight.

I hold internet seminars on thoughtless and repeated damage of stuff if you want to sign some of your lads up.

Guilty as charged.

2xChipper stabilizing feet bent when not put up before pulling away. 1x Ifor jockey wheel bent when……not put up before pulling away. All by me!

I have a recurring situation where there’s a tree that the (80 or so year old plus) clients have fretted about. Most recently a perfectly decent white poplar over a chicken run, they want it removed cos they think it’s a danger but have balked at the price, understandably imo. So I try to explain (as sensitively as I can) that in all probability they will be dead and I will be long retired before it really becomes an issue, so why don’t we knock a few low branches off over the chicken run for a few hundred bucks and call it good. The relief I see in their faces is enough to warm a heart even as cold as mine. Point being, try and find out what really is the driving force behind their call to you and address that first.

Being in business is not always easy, you have to take the rough with the smooth.

Here is where you lost the thread.
-
I think you totally missed the point, since you ask.
-
Why bother asking if you ignore the advice?
-
If pointing out ridiculous hyperbole and your laughable contradictions is being a smartarse, well mea culpa.
-
Make your mind up!

Just run it as recommended by the manufacturers. 50.1 or an alkalyte fuel for two strokes.

Much of a muchness imo. I have both and use both, just depends on my mood. My 201tc is a more reliable re-starter. Poke wise not much in it.

Ok, thanks, interesting.

Do you not think down sizing yours might be a good solution in the short term? iirc you run multiple gangs.

Has he been arrested? Threatened physically? Been chucked it of his home? Had all his forms of communication cut? He’s free to continue saying and tweeting what he likes, just that he’s broken the contract he had with the BBC. So they took action. No free speech has been stifled.

I see the commentators aren’t going to do it now. That is a bit risky from their pov, not multi millionaire ex footballers, so their living could be at stake. The World feed commentators have a chance to show what they can do. Ps. Bring back Adrian Chiles!
