I bought three batteries at the start of this year and all have been replaced with the new ones that mark skyland talks about. Luckily they were all under warranty! My local dealer says that they’ve had a lot from this batch of ‘made in taiwan’ batteries that they’ve had to replace, but i don’t think there’s been a recall on them.

I bought a custom sized toolbox from these guys. Very good quality and service. Home | Warrell Richards Aluminium & Stainless Boxes, Southfleet UK WWW.WARRELLRICHARDS.COM UK built, Quality Stainless & aluminium toolboxes for commercial vehicles by Warrell Richards ltd. Standard &...

That’s interesting. I’m yet to have a blockage, do you have both types of chip screen with yours? I tend to use the wider one over the summer and the small one over winter.

The super prof is a great machine. 18hp with a feed roller and will shred up to 4” happily. I bought a year 2000 one last year and I’m looking at replacing it with the newer tracked version. The only fault I’ve found is their cost vs other small chippers.

I’ve just bought one of these and it’s fantastic. I highly recommend it. DPPT-2600LW WWW.ECHO-TOOLS.CO.UK The DPPT-2600LW X-Series telescopic pole pruner offers an exceptional combination of lightweight design...

Thanks for that. I reckon I’ll give them a go. My trouble is that I’ll have to drive an hour to try a pair hence normally sticking with what I know will fit. Cheers matey.

How do Arborec fellhunters fit compared to meindl or haix? I usually wear meindl wood walkers but they don’t stay waterproof for very long and I like the look of the fellhunters’ extra height for ankle support. Thanks.

I’ve got an echo 501sxh. Fantastic saw, light and powerful, I run it with a 13” 0.50 bar and chain and it’s a beast. The downside is the anti vibe. It’s on rubbers and I suffer because of it. You may not have an issue, many don’t, but I think you should be aware before you consider buying one. The husky and Stihl are much better as they’re on springs.

What? They are a protected species.

Tree Rex is a very nice harness. Light, comfy, good buckles (hard to open but don’t loosen up) only problem I’ve found is the lower D’s are very small. I will get used to them but it’s a challenge to get the crab in sometimes if you’re in a difficult position. I found the TM too stiff and buckles loosened often, and the sequoia was a real testicle squisher.

I don’t think pesticide ticket expires. Happy to be corrected though. Sounds like plan, best of luck.

Definitely worth getting spraying ticket. Pretty pointless cutting and not spraying. We never used to stump treat though as we found it’s not as affective as spraying regrowth 12-18months after cutting. Our contracts were for 5 years and we wouldn’t get the final payment if any rhodies were still alive on site. If you’ve got saws then like others have said, start up and hire in mulchers etc as required.

Ha! Sounds perfect, and use a chopper to spray the regrowth right?
