    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    That's got to be one of the most expensive tree fells. I'm guessing £18000.

    Has anyone tried the milwaukee pruning shears m12. Any feedback would be great.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. treevolution
    Can anyone help identify this bracket. Found about 2m high on a beech tree. Thanks in advance

    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.
  17. treevolution
    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.

    Thanks for the advice. Was using spray grease but think that has caused the problem with the trimmer keep cutting out.
  19. treevolution
    What type of grease would you recommend. Thanks
  20. treevolution
    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.

    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.
  22. treevolution
    Is £48000 Inc VAT

    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.

    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.

    Very light reduction and thin on this lovely Copper Beech. Glad this one has a TPO as given the chance the residence would have it felled.
