  1. I work for a company where one of the drivers put a subwoofer under the seats in the transit. Drum and bass first thing really got you in the mood to crack on with the job.
  2. I brought a GRCS 10 years ago and the first big fell I did paid for it. It's something that if you buy at the start of your career it's well worth the money but if you have managed without one for 20 years then the cost might not warrant the investment. I looked up the price they are now and pretty sure that when I come to retirement I will be able to sell for the same money I paid with a smile on my face thinking about the jobs that were made a lot easier with it.
  3. Thanks guys for the help. The tree officer should be doing a site visit soon as the client has put in for a crown reduction on the beech tree and also a horse Chestnut. Not a very good picture but this shows some of the crown.
  4. I don't think so as it is not facing the sun. Possibly beach bark disease and it's tried to heal itself. As they don't want to have a report done it's hard to know what works, if any needs to be done. Has anyone had experience with Beech bark disease.
  5. Would anyone have ideas with what has caused this damage. Last worked on the tree 10 years ago with no signs of damage. As far as I know there has been no changes to the garden and no fires. The tree has a TPO and over hangs a busy road with 3 Schools. I have suggested a report done on the tree consultant but the client does not want to spend the money. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks
  6. I left in August last year as I was getting no leads at all and the ones that did come were time wasters. It's been taken over by a big corporation and they are just trying to get as much money from you as they can. Completely rip off. Real shame as a lot of my work use to come from checkatrade when I first started.
  7. I've gone through 2 switches and also 2 triggers. Unfortunately they don't like being left in the rain. Worth keeping a switch spare as a back up. Still a great saw.
  8. That's got to be one of the most expensive tree fells. I'm guessing £18000.
  9. THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

  10. Has anyone tried the milwaukee pruning shears m12. Any feedback would be great.
  11. Unfortunately not got any time till 22nd April. Sorry I couldn't help. Have you tried D and D hire for a small chipper. Based in Camberley.
  12. When does the job need to be done by. I have a a CS100 that I'm could come out with but booked up till after Easter.
  13. So for a 40 hour week a climber can look at getting paid around £125 a day paye. I'm sure wage's are going backwards.
  14. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I didn't have a ladder to get up close. Will have a read up on the bracket to see if it matches and what steps should be taken. Thanks
  15. Can anyone help identify this bracket. Found about 2m high on a beech tree. Thanks in advance
