  1. Hi all I need a regular tip site for wood chip in central Bedfordshire willing to pay to tip! Thanks
  2. Echo 2511 if u need anything bigger then ur 550 will sit on a strop nicely.
  3. Pay well enough and you will attract the talent.
  4. Yea I agree been toying with what to do with the back and ally is my preferred option! Seen some smart looking trucks with marine ply so thinking about that too.
  5. Melted my gloves onto my fingers up a tree by accidentally touching the exhaust of a 441! Won't ever do that again!
  6. Thanks mate I am not ready to take on that kinda job yet. But in time I may refer back to your post. Cheers
  7. Thanks for the advice mate I may have to pick your brains if I try your setup.
  8. Sorry you can't read the print in that photo here is the link. http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=112205399177&category=108856&pm=1&ds=0&t=1493747746658
  9. It appears that they send you the ally in a sort of flat pack kinda thing and you assemble it yourself. I might give them a ring.
  10. I got a message from them saying if I send them the measurements they will build it to those specs! I'm just a bit unsure on how I would attach it to the tipper bed. Would nuts and bolts be sufficient or would I need to get in a welder. Cheers.
  11. I've got the echo pb251! It's vibrates a lot had tingling hands after 10 mins use. Blows ok not as good as the Stihl. Quite bulky but was a £100 cheaper than the Stihl so I'm happy with it not being as good!
  12. Thanks for all the advice I ended up buying a 2012 MWB transit with 65k on the clock for £8000 inc VAT. Now I am looking at getting a back for it and I came across this one on eBay. I have a steel back on my van and this is an ally box. Will I have any difficulty fixing this to my van? Thanks for any advice.
  13. Amazing the control you have with the grab
  14. I got really bad hay-fever about 2 years ago at 29! My eyes were getting blisters on them and I was itchy and very irritable to the point I didn't want to climb, work, or do anything. Tree pollen really affected me bad in the spring especially Hornbeam. Over the counter anti histimines didn't work for me. Went to the docs and got prescribed Fexofenadine hydrochloride! The stuff is amazing drop one in the morning and no problems I do this every spring now for about a month until the tree pollen is gone.
  15. Both pretty similar but The echo has a bit more grunt. The 150 can get bogged down on bigger cuts.
  16. I've been hunting for the last couple of weeks for a van. I found auto trader the best. You can refine your search to exactly what you want and can afford. It saves you trawling through all the crap.
  17. Use the mot checker to check if the mileage has been clocked and if it has had any major issues! https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk
  18. My friend went to a presentation by someone doing a PhD on this subject recently. The way he explained it...... basically we should not be pruning out crossing branches in mature trees! I am not disputing this theory but I need more data to make this my practice! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. Thanks Will I think I needed to hear that I am way overthinking on what van to get. Congrats on your business I hope I can get to that stage, 4 days a week sounds nice.
