why wouldnt you just leave the pallet square and put your cage on it? why make it round? seems like hard work you dont need to do

i like the idea of a check-table of chip weight, but i fear it wooden work

i think youre all forgetting the amount of fuel in your truck, the kit youve left in it when you go to tip, the size of the driver, any rain falling while driving to tip (mentioned above), dirt on tires, dirt in weighbridge, and the small-mindedness of the jobsworth that pulls over a carefully driven working truck thats just trying to make a reasonable living and not zooming around the place overloaded and spilling woodchip on roundabouts. the only way to be really safe is with a half load. or lots of trips and weighing so experience can tell you almost exactly whats a 90% load. down to 0.2 of a ton could be a difference of a couple of decent branches.

fill it to the nipples and tell the filth to go catch a burglar

yaknow what, thats the pathetic way things are. as you say the scum that are looting a shop would actually claim compo for the beating they take off shop staff and im willing to bet they would get it too

always thought it was shursay

thinking about it all you really need is a 201T on a 12inch and a 500i on a 25 inch between them those two will tackle just about anything

from the limited details it sounds like youre being had right off. minimum wage for someone thats able to use a chainsaw and chipper and hedgecut, im guessing unsupervised? im seeing the lack of tickets being a play to keep you working for them, on lower wages, cos they know you cant go somewhere else without tickets. id consider wearing waterproof trousers cos youre clearly pissing into the wind. all of this is based on assumption. question: are you felling, snedding, hedgecutting etc unsupervised and left to it? or is someone on your shoulder every time? question: have you banked enough cash to pay for the tickets yourself and put yourself in a postion to request better wages or leave? assumption: someone is advertising an apprenticeship as a way to pay someone lower wages for a more skilled job under the disguise of training, and paying full minimum wage to keep you quiet.

glad you recognise my superior position im sure you mean literal not literary and ill take a uppercase G on the name please, underling

seems to me that most customers have in their head as "i cant be arsed, i never get round to it, so i thought id better pay someone to do a nice job, but its only a hedge so it wont cost me too much"

1st step, whats your closest/ best reliable dealer? stihl or husqvarna? then just get a 261 or 550 on a 16 inch bar that will tackle everything youre likely to be faced with but not be too heavy to run all day
-
depends how big 500i or 661 is my bet 500 lighter and easier to play with all day 661 more power unless you define "fat timber" as less than 20 inch

nail. head. hit. say no more squire.

nah theyre a bloody menace
-
whatever Bungle

clearly they are questioning if youre worth what youre charging them. im betting youre not. might have known youd be a f*cking cyclist to add to the rest of your crimes sounds about right, so full of yourself and your own self-righteousness and everyone else just thinks youre a useless tit
-
the police have the evidence, theyll be with you shortly to explain the charges
-
ah, so now the racist is trying to claim he didnt mean it at all and was just trying to deliberately provoke anger and hate online? isnt that illegal in scotland?
-
ah, the old man recognises himself

moles? or double-agents?
