    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
  6. 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.

    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.
  10. treevolution
    What type of grease would you recommend. Thanks

    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.

    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.
  17. treevolution
    Saturn did mine for £5 each so still worth sending them to be done. I don't bother with the green teeth as they are only around £3.60 each.
  18. treevolution
    Qrms are doing the Greenmech blades now for £9 each. Sounds very cheap but I have never had any problems with the green teeth I get from them
  19. treevolution
    Like this. Just make sure you do it up really tight.

    I would be careful buying any used truck that has a brand new arb body put on as it's a way to change over the odds for a van with high mileage. For comparison I brought a brand new Isuzu with full arb body I designed for £32500 a year and a half ago so it sounds well over priced.
  21. treevolution
    Dropping a chainsaw and then having to pull it up each time you want to use it just sounds like a total waste of energy. I would rather see a young climber turn off a saw and high clip while not using a saw rather then having the thing dangling around your feet running with the chance of catching your legs with a running chain (if you have forgotten to put the chain break on and the saw starts to run low on fuel). Notch have a lanyard out where you can add tool carabiner onto it for a high clip.
  22. treevolution
    Buy a echo 2500 with the clip where you can clip it on and off your harness one handed. I can't believe that echo have not put it on other top handle saws yet, brilliant design.
  23. treevolution
    Get a arb trolley. Or just price the job to pay a decent wage to a qualified goundsperson that will make your life easier, get the job done and probably earn you more money in the long run.
  24. treevolution
    So been wearing now for a month and think they are brilliant. Not as cool as my cloggers but half the price and not far off. Think I will get another pair and save my cloggers for Sunday best

    I put all my hedge trimmings through my Quadchip. I always put sheets down first and then when finished I drag the sheets to the chipper and use a shovel to push through. I have found that the round blades just don't damage like the flat blades and at only £5 a time to sharpen and 3 sides it's so much cheaper then paying to tip the clippings.
