Morning all, More time by the stove today with a good book. Hope the patients do well with Nurse Ped’s care. Have a good weekend all.

Morning all, This is how winter is/was meant to be. Blows away the cobwebs etc. Any of you over 40 out there be careful not to slip over. HSE think climbing trees is dangerous, but it's when you've just come down, unclipped from the harness, and tripped on some brash that is more likely to get you. My main man and I have decided that any customer with a really slippery path we have to use for the job will have to get it pressure washed, or pay us to do so, prior to work. Stay safe all.

Morning all, Lovely cold blue sky day here. So far my plan of having surgery in winter to fit round the weather is proving valid. Bet you we have some dry warm weather soon, and a sodden spring😂 Have a good day y'all.

Day 6 post op and turning the corner I think, thanks. Now able to do straight leg raise and fully weight bear.

Hope he makes a good recovery without too much pain.

Morning all, Sorry to hear of your vet problems Doug, and your loss of your whippet Bob. It just doesn't inspire confidence when you have the sort of consultation you got, vet clearly not up to date with what is in the notes. I imagine that with a lot of vet practices being bought up by big firms who then employ vets, on the cheap, it is not going to be like a practice owned and run by the vets working in it. On a brighter note I have found new levels of excitement in the last 48 hours. One thrill was ordering a shower stool online, and the other was having my first good wash since my knee replacement. I think having been working until my op, including climbing maintaining core strength, has put me in a good position for recovery. I am more than happy with my mobility so far on crutches. I just feel for the older frailer people who live alone, or with a frail partner, who have to get through the post op period. Onward and upward.

Morning all, Lovely sunny day here. Stay safe and have fun.

Morning all

Just the one for now. No doubt other one in due course, possibly hip too. Depends on how long I live.

Morning all, Quite a frost here, but sunny day ahead. Small job then a couple of decent jobs to quote for. Seems several of us have our woes this morning, so it would rude not to join in! Having knee replacement tomorrow, so some time out needed. Nice Christmas present for me is that the first day I will be allowed to drive is Christmas Day. Stay warm and safe.

Morning all, Back from a week in sunny Portugal. Not even raining this morning and forecast is good. Two or three small jobs over the next couple of days to get sorted. Have a good day all.

Good (still just) morning all, Have a good weekend.

Morning all, Dry day here. Woodchip delivery, then oil/filter and blade change one of the chippers. Despite bing in cloud and drizzle yesterday it was short sleeves yesterday while ringing up the beech we felled earlier in the week. Have a good weekend.

Morning all, Late start, drizzly day. Finished beech dismantle yesterday, going back to ring up larger timber for customer then clear up the debris.

Morning all, Drizzly here, but in mewp not climbing at least.

Morning all, Reasonable forecast here. Starting 2 day beech dismantle with mewp. Stay safe, have fun.

Morning all, Late start today. Off to do a quote, then hospital appointment bang in middle of the day.

Morning all, Pottering this morning. Taking the log splitter to help a friend split some rings his electric baby splitter can't manage. Gives the old series 3 Land Rover a run. Between the last two MOT's she did just under 100 miles. Needs using more! Have a good weekend.

Morning all, Lazy day. Load up the mewp and take to site ready for next week. Bit of office work then hopefully set up new protos intercoms when they arrive. Have a good weekend all.

Morning all, Another decent weather day. Last day (day 4) trimming tops of conifer hedge. Glad when it's finished, but at least it is very local, and decent customer. The weekend is getting near.

Morning all, Nice sunny day ahead. Easy prune on a beech with power lines off, then more hedge trimming this afternoon. Have a good day.

I have had a muck truck max for several years now. It doesn't see a lot of use as the tracked chipper when on site can move stuff in the hopper. I rate it highly. I have even used it with timber ballast in the skip and one or two men adding weight to pull quite a large willow trunk over in a tight spot where the tracked chipper would churn up the grass.

Morning all, Another rain free day looming. What's not to like.

Thanks for the reply. When you say solenoid I am guessing you mean at the hydraulic valve block? I am only aware of one electric box, that being the one on the side of the machine where you start the engine. I will take a look middle of the week when time permits. Thanks again.

I have had a Jensen A540 TT from new. It had just under 700 hours on it and is 11 years old. When the bottom trip bar is activated it stops the rollers as it should. When I press the green roller control switch, on either side of the hopper, the rollers will not turn. I have to turn the engine/ignition off, then restart and all is well until the next time it is tripper. Both green roller direction switches work fine (replaced one a few weeks ago), as do the red stop switches. When the fault occurs there is nothing showing on the control panel to explain it, just the normal data. Any thoughts/advice?
