  1. It's not so much about work picking up I was wondering if people have found a decrease in the volume of calls this year. I still seem to win a good percentage of work from my quotes but just don't seem to receive a lot of new leads. I know that July and August are generally quiet but previous years I could count on a lot of interest in the spring months to generate enough work to see me through summer. Looking at the calendar now and seem to have a lot of free days.
  2. Hi All Just wanted to find out if other people have found this year to be slow with work. I do mostly domestic work with a few commercial contracts. For the first time in a while I have found myself having to contact climb for other firms just to feel the diary, where as two years ago I always had 6 weeks ahead for a team of 3/4. Thanks
  3. I got the HLA 65 and the HLA 85 trimmers. If you already got the batteries then your halfway there. The harness is really good if you want to stay with the petrol trimmers. I started with the 65 and then a few weeks later got the 85 and since then have only used the petrol trimmers a hand full of times over the last two years.
  4. Found that having two 300 battery is more then enough for a full day trimming. The only time that I need to charge batteries on site is when I'm using the cordless strimmer. I found that since I went cordless I dint mind trimming for the whole day.
  5. Found it really help for when I had to do trimming all day long but as soon as you go up the ladder you have to take it off. Really useful if you're using extendable long arm trimmers and you don't find yourself so tried at the end of the day. I have found that since I have gone over to the cordless hedge trimmers if does not really get used.
  6. A light cut back of an overhang London Plane from the local allotment. Great day for it apart from the Plane dust.
  7. There's one on earborist at the moment.
  8. I have an unbox but not used one I'm looking to sell. Pm if you are interested.
  9. Had the same problem on my 08 ranger and unfortunately had to have a new front panel put in. I think it's where the cogs had worn away behind the switch.
  10. How do you stop the fly wheel from moving when undoing the bolts. Thanks
  11. Is anyone interested in a pickup load of Ash delivered and tipped within four miles of TW16 for some beer tokens. Please PM for details. Thanks
  12. Thanks Steve. Have you heard of anyone in the Staines area that takes chip or logs. Thanks
  13. Was hoping someone could help with a tip site for a Leyland Cypress fell I am doing for my mother in law on Saturday. Should be about 2/3 a load of chip and logs. Happy to pay just would rather get rid then transport it back to London. Thanks
  14. Hi Steve Thanks for the reply. Will give him a call to see about cost.
  15. Anyone interested in woodchip from a Sycamore, Ash and Silver Birch fell in Hampton tomorrow. Happy to drop off. Please PM if interested. Thanks
  16. Seems a good price as well. Think I will get an early Xmas present.
  17. How you getting on with this new rope. Have you used it for SRT yet.
  18. All sorted now thanks.
  19. I'm taking down a Maple and False Acacia next Monday. If anyone is interested in the timber please pm me. Thanks
  20. Looks a really good machine. How wide is it.
  21. Sounds a good chipper. Only thing that I would miss would be a turn table. As a sub 750kg chipper I would say that the QC has been a great work horse with some great features but is probably the most expensive 750kg chipper to buy. For around the £10000 price the GM 130 looks a great chipper.
  22. How have you found the GM 200. Not seen any reviews of it yet.
  23. Hi Jon Where are you based.
  24. A big thanks to the guys from Greenmech today for the speedy response and problem solving help over the phone. Sent from my XT1039 using Arbtalk mobile app
