Morning all
-
Morning all, I spoke too soon about no recent rain. Couple of small quotes then help with minor welding repair to mucktruck. Happy weekend.
-
If you have a diagram of the blades dimensions and angles there are plenty of firms who can make them for you.
-
Morning all, Forgotten what rain looks like by now. Know what cold feels like.
-
Morning all, Van still at its doctors. Doing a quote then some log processing methinks. Be good.
-
Morning all, Taking van in to get drivers leccy window sorted today. Haven’t dared open it for 2 weeks as it doesn’t like coming back up. Makes you realise how often you do open it even in winter.
-
Morning all, Yesterday's potential for neighbours arguing about hedge height turned out really well. Had allowed 2 days, did it in one. Neighbour's got on ok, we were even served cake with the coffee😀.
-
Is that the road from Consall down to the visitor centre by any chance?
-
Morning all, Today’s job is reducing the customer’s neighbour’s overhanging wide laurel hedge. Both parties to be on site to agree on final height!
-
I agree with what peds says about the fat apical bud, but the bark looks more like lime to me. Also the upper crown looks more like the pattern/busy nature of lime rather than horse chestnut to me.
-
Late on parade, but still the first one on duty. Morning all, Rise and shine.

I have had exactly the same problem twice with my Jensen A540 turntable with the same Kubota engine. Obviously not when tracking as it is on wheels, but when under load chipping. The cause was the inline fuel filter between the fuel tank and the cartridge filter being block with crap/debris etc. Easy fix, replace the inline filter, and I carry a spare one with the machine. Usually no need to manually bleed the system, just remember to open the vent/breather knob on the injector pump.

Morning all, Doing a quote then going to cut move some of the timber from in the week. Don’t think I’ll do more than a couple of hours though.
-
Morning all, Ditto here Stephen. Yesterday's mewp willow dismantle turned into mostly climbing, due to a wall more in the way than I expected. This morning the new knee is fine even after working on spikes, in fact the least achey bit of me! Got to go back for the timber next week and handball it out over a wall. Have a good weekend all.
-
Morning all, Heavy frost again. MEWP dismantle of willow today. Stay warm.
-
Morning all, Frosty here. Starting two days of mewp work today. Dismantling unstable leaning silver birch and pine, then taking down a willow.
-
Morning all, Dry for the morning here. Some conifer trimming and one to reduce, then get MEWP in place for tomorrow's job.
-
Morning all, Nursery slope climb for me this morning. Small Rowan to dismantle. Have fun, stay safe.
-
Morning all, Lazy Sunday. Light the stove and read a book is the plan.
-
Morning all, Taking the full trailer of sweepings to weigh in at the local skip company, then domestic pottering. Have a good weekend all.

About 20 years ago I was up an ash tree over the road, with stop/go sign traffic control, with a highways permit. An idiot in a big flash merc ignored the stop sign and kept on going. I was so tempted to just carry on cutting, but gave in to the urge. WTF to the power on N? Whenever we have TM in place I pay/charge the customer the extra cost for an operative to remain on site - independent witness and less hassle if lights play up. As a rule I have found posties to be the worst offenders, can't let the mail be one minute late.

I have a 2009 Kubota STV40 compact tractor, 40hp, which I rate highly. I have converted a Fairey Land Rover PTO winch to hydraulic drive quite easily and mounted this on a 3 point linkage ground anchor. Only used it once so far but it worked well. With a bit of fabrication for some mountings I can't see why an off the peg hydraulic winch could not tick the box for light duties. It's never going to be heavy duties with tractors of this size, although I have been known to anchor the back of my series 3 Land Rover to a tree to allow the PTO winch to give serious pulling power.
-
Morning all, Lazy Friday for me, going to see friend. So having done 3 days of hedge reduction why did I quote yesterday for another one. Three reasons: One mile from home, nice customer, right by the excellent butty van. Oh yes, fourth reason is quarter mile to the chip tip site.😊
-
Certainly not heading for a good half term report at the least. Needs to try harder. Morning all, Frost here too but sunny day ahead, third day on conifer reductions then proper stuff next week.
-
Morning all, Better weather today hopefully. Got wet and cold yesterday.
