  1. Morning all, Loler being done on mewp first thing. Raining here and most of the day, so pottering, maintenance, and dog walking for me. Have a good day y’all.
  2. Morning all, Collecting yesterday's timber then finish a very small willow dismantle that the customer's son in law started, then realised there is more to it, including waste disposal. We will be playing Jack Straws with the brash he piled up.
  3. You were spot on there Doug. I had felt some doubt about two of their lads having met them last week, but all went well in the end. Job went really well and turned a decent profit.
  4. Morning all, Last conifer dismantle this week, with our feathered friends thinking of nesting. Got builders on same site, but they can use the other driveway, away from the tree. Nonetheless I will follow advice given in another recent thread. As well as signs cones and tape, we will block access to our drop zone with the first branches to come off. Have a good day all.
  5. Morning all, We walked in Victoria Park in Glasgow yesterday and saw some of the remains of the storm damage. Looked as a if a mini tornado had run through one section, judging by the pattern of damage. Looking like a very wet and windy drive home later this morning.
  6. Morning all, Glorious sunshine here in Glasgow. In contrast to the journey up yesterday, having seen an accident due to aquaplaning, and water flowing off a field and across the motorway!
  7. Morning all, Off to Glasgow to stay with our daughter for the weekend. Have a good weekend all.
  8. Morning all, Dry this morning then rain. Got a stiff neck last couple of days, going to use the tractor mounted finger bar cutter today. Oh yes, that will be good for my neck , looking right for a couple of hours.
  9. Morning all, Small local job today. Biggest problem will be the everlasting roadworks on the pothole ridden A road through the village.
  10. Morning all, Cold and dry here. Small conny hedge to remove and grind out. Just another “oh I didn’t think about birds” rush job to fit in.
  11. Morning all, Clear sky and cold but no frost. Another hedge day today. Using mewp to trim top of wide mixed thorn hedge. Thank goodness for impending nesting to give a break from torture.
  12. On my A540 turntable model there is a large inspection plate behind the roller shafts I take off. i can then see the shafts with the flywheel cover and engine covers still in place. I turn the roller speed down to minimum then run it until the nipples are where I want them.
  13. Morning all, I spoke too soon about no recent rain. Couple of small quotes then help with minor welding repair to mucktruck. Happy weekend.
  14. If you have a diagram of the blades dimensions and angles there are plenty of firms who can make them for you.
  15. Morning all, Forgotten what rain looks like by now. Know what cold feels like.
  16. Morning all, Van still at its doctors. Doing a quote then some log processing methinks. Be good.
  17. 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.
  18. 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😀.
  19. Is that the road from Consall down to the visitor centre by any chance?
  20. 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!
  21. 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.
  22. Late on parade, but still the first one on duty. Morning all, Rise and shine.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
