I know. I'm never confident enough to give advice from pics, so I just think of something silly to say. Sorry!

I remember a story years ago, think it was on here. Guys priced a large conifer removal in London. 3 storey terraced, so they priced to take it all through the house. On the day, the house next door has a crane, loading roof tile or something. They dropped the operator a ton, and he got the lot out! Nearest I've come to anything like that was a road sweeper coming past just as we finished picking up the last bits 😁
-
That's all you can do. Price accordingly. It's not overpricing. Most people understand. As for going through houses, I just don't qo there, it's a dead cert that something will get damaged or scratched

This just sounds like most of my jobs

Like Steve said, new chain. It might not be you, if the chain isn't accurately sharpened and the bar is only slightly mishaped I would think it would make quite a difference on a big piece

Is it ok to derail the thread now?
-
That bit I don't get. He says he's got a yard, so I don't understand the situation. But as I say, wouldn't bother, well doesn't bother me. Roofer over the road, fella does driveways 2 doors up. I park my van and occasionally the chipper overnight. we have a bit of a pact. 'Don't tidy up your drive, or I'll have to do mine'

I might object to shopping trolleys and old mattresses lying around, but someone earning a crust, no objections

Only had one harness for the first 17 yrs. T22 😂

No. Not really. One single fairly loud, but low toned bang. Bit like someone hitting a bass drum. Then loss of power and the engine did sound different, but not metal/nails. Yours sounds like fins off the turbo have maybe broken and sucked through the system. Hopefully not. Like you, I did check the exhaust first. Thought it could be that at first
-
Yes. Mine blew off at the jubilee clip driving on motorway. (Transit) quite a bang and loss of power
-
I was working on my bike about 15 years ago. Got a metal burr. Similar entry wound and it then migrated a similar distance over about a week. Go over any stiles, barbed wire etc?

No good for you mate. Merseyside/ Lancs border North west

Water lane farm. Very quick and easy. Take anything, heavy, brash, chip. No soil 20 quid a transit load. It's not my usual stomping ground , but it's really handy if I get the odd job near to
-
Has anyone had anything shipped or imported from Europe recently? I'm looking at a used chipper in Holland. Is it a nightmare at the moment? Should I just forget the idea? Has anyone any idea of costs? I'm prepared to go and get it, but is it easier and cheaper to ship? Thanks

A very astute Hartlepool voter was on praising the Tories because they have 9 food banks now, and didn't have any under Labour

Used GreenMech SafeTrak 19-28 MK2 buying guide

Very good. Thanks. Haven't got a greenmech, but a lot of the information relates to any chipper 👍 -
I'd say, get someone in to do the lot. I can't see my price would be any different. What are we talking about, an extra 20 seconds work. Plus, you won't have it lying there whilst numerous companies let you down
-
Does anyone else own a 2ft square plot of land on the isle of islay? I got one free with a bottle of laphraig many years ago! Just thought if anyone else got one we could join plots and maybe pitch a very small tent or something 😁
-
No. Anyone under 30 doesn't know what a map is
-
I think this is where the London issue comes in. You could have a climber, 2 groundies, truck and chipper stuck on the north circular for 2 hrs

My favourite is when the lady of the house says 'Oh forget it, I'll get my husband to do it'. It's even better when the husband is present, and you get to see his face
-
Well done. Buggers, hung up trees. If it's down safely, with no damage, I'd say that's a success. Is this a follow up to a previous thread? Pics would help

How much should it cost to have this tree and roots removed and stump ground?
Con replied to LK12's topic in Milling Forum
A little bit more than it would've done before the best rigging points were removed
