  1. Has anyone tried the milwaukee pruning shears m12. Any feedback would be great.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. Can anyone help identify this bracket. Found about 2m high on a beech tree. Thanks in advance
  7. I don't know anyone now that pays to tip wood. In that area there is a commercial tip that will take logs and tip for free so we might as well tip there in one go. You really need to offer something in return, even a nice cup of coffee goes a long way, but I would prefer cash. I get £15 a load for chip at local allotments.
  8. It's down to the freelancer to name their price not the company. Need to be looking at £250 upwards to find a good freelance climber in that area.
  9. Thanks for the advice. Was using spray grease but think that has caused the problem with the trimmer keep cutting out.
  10. Got the 1.9l but that was because the dealership only that engine at the time. Be honest pulls as it should with a load on and towing a chipper. I think you can get caught thinking you need to have a big engine to carry out the work that we do but unless you are running it as a 7ton gross train weight day in day out then the 1.9l will be fine.
  11. My price was plus VAT. I would not go for LWB as it's additional cost. You will lose payload and it also pushes the weight more behind the back wheels where it's better to have the load as central as possible. I don't have any tool lockers on mine but if you have them then it will add around £2000 to the build. I can pm you the dealership where I went if you're interested.
  12. It's not a sell trick anymore to say vans will increase in price next year's as they will continue to go up. Only reason to hold off is for a lower interest rate if you believe they will come down next year. On the plus side if you are Ltd then a new van will help bring down you corporation tax bill by a fair amount.
  13. Thanks for the feedback. One lady in the block shouted from her window can we take off the two bottom limbs growing towards her flat to which we replied politely no. We been paid and the committee were happy. To be honest these are the types of jobs I like most.
