  1. What's the point , you know it all , all in doing is going by the machines ive used ,known or owned
  2. All of the new stuff was built down to a price, one of the tw 150s locally had alloy vanes on the back of the flywheel, compared to the entec chippit 35 dh ,which was identical, then u had issues with the bearings . Then another associate had the early tw 150 tracked and it wouldn't hold on the hill (tracked version) shit hydraulics . Tw 160 ph , is the new entec ch25 built with a decent kohler engine the were built well. Then timberwolf brought out the same model as the tw 125 but available in petrol or diesel varients , diesel was lombardini and shook it self to shit ,but with a single feed roller . Then the was the 12 inch chipper, road tow but they were dropped, U had the tw240 but that's been stopped ,and the small shredder that's been stopped now . That's timberwolf that I know want me to go on about greenmech , quick chip/ts , tp lindana, pezzolato . Surprised being in France your not pushing saelen. Got to stop the slagging off its not clever and is poor form, just got admit other people sometimes have better knowledge about equipment and that's been gained over years and other people setups or business's.
  3. Coming from someone who changed career later on in life ..need i say more ...yeah I'm sure i don't know much about arboriculture ,only my first placement was when I was 13...I was using a chipper back then ..an entec 35 , some of the machines now built are 💩 built down to a price like everything ... but I'm sure you know best I'm always wary of people who change careers midlife ,or try and re invent themselves...me I'm neither...but European stuff is built better than British stuff ,in the way of chippers . What do u want to know mick? Drop the bitchy carpy attitide first .
  4. I've had alot of mates run entecs , timberwolfs ,gravely ,tp lindana ,jensen, pezzolato, greenmech , kwickchip .. alot of the tw machines have alloy fans to eject the chip.. The are alot of decent refurbished machines for under that budget ..its knowing what your looking for ...would nt buy tw probably not nor would I buy green mech. I'd only buy European, better built like ts,lindana ...the pezzolato I have is alot better built than the current machines . And like it or not where I didnt come into the career later on in life ive seen machines come and go , all you want is a basic machine that's lightweight,that also you can unjam should it get jammed up...and basic so easy worked on. Only reason the isn't more European machines is due to a price ..id need to look at what ever I purchase next ..ie spares But alot of machines are built down to a price now.....
  5. Need training , try lbs training Wellington.... he's ex forces,served in Afghanistan and teaches , really good teacher ...and whilst i was updating the were 3 service personel on the same course ...
  6. I've had someone pay me through PayPal, and the money was done through there wallet version...it pissed me off as id invoiced him and id not known what what he paid me ... thankfully his fkd off back to London now
  7. The 230 and 160, also forst are dire
  8. Dunno why u wouldnt buy an entec chippt 35 and spend a couple of grand overhauling it ,it used to suck in 6" had a good throughput , if u could get it to the feed rollers the machine would do the rest. Probably better than the tw 160, and alot better built than two later offerings .
  9. Nope at the age of 42 and being in the industry before 15 ,I just don't tolerate hunts ,I've seen it too much with bosses that have had clients like this before... Bend or give a little and take a mile, and once they start messing the whole job will go to shit and you'll resent even starting it. .id rather say f them .keep their money keep their fing pathetic job .
  10. Tell him to f himself and his pathetic airmiles, makes u wonder what else the silly hunt will dictate to you .
  11. Not always, your comparing someone who's done powerline and street trees and it isn't the same , ive never known anyone to chuck a load on the floor unless its railways or powerline both attract the worse 'tree surgeons ' going and I use that term loosely
  12. If your doing domestic work ,you can't always get tracked dumpers ,micro loader in on site , ive done most disciplines of tree work now , that although I enjoy what I do it doesn't mentally challenge me ,its boring .. I see myself as I get older driving machines ....we might go full tilt and where u once had foresters doing tree work with machines ,it will go back to being mechanised rather than shimmying up trees , That and also the weather getting stupid .. sadly you can earn more driving plant than climbing trees, when I was younger it was the other way around .
  13. But we're you doing something hard graft before? Doubt it to still be any good
  14. Bull shit all you want , your welcome to your opinion But how long does it take you u to be a decent climber? Isn't over night . The guy who said to me that 16-30 be climbing and then 30-65 you'll be contracts maintenance .. and the is an article on them recently ,must be doing something right to have street tree contracts .
  15. Not on about people like you, the muppets that change a career then have got no chance .
  16. I was told by a very well known firm who do proper trees in london an the south east by the time your 30 in this game they'd put you onto the contracts management side of things ,by the time he's 40 he'd learn the trade but be knackered , how many 40/50 year old are still climbing ? Just pointless his best years are gone
  17. Get a decent accountant/ book keeper and go from there , no point asking tree surgeons about something to do with hmrc
  18. Mitox top handle , clones of the echo 2511t, cheaper light weight and as well built as the echo
  19. Always had a bad experience with teachers ,they weren't the sharpest of tools in my experience and if u didnt learn a certain way you were thick,just because they struggled to teach in a different way ... nice to see a teacher doing a thicko's job ! He must get some 💩 working on the railways and most ex criminals .. lovely
  20. Oh no , railways did attract people from all walks of life , but the money has gone from when railtrack had the contract .... its not one of the best jobs ,bit like power line clearance .. then u have this irata wnk. Always makes me smile about teachers that can't cope with being a teacher...surely teachers know what there getting into before uni 😆.the weekend marking ,6 weeks off teachers training days etc. All you have to follow is follow a syllabus and mark it ,then deal with ofstead .
  21. Can only be npors or cpcs on telehandler ticket lantra or nptc aren't recognised on site , and even if you are on site your a labourer who can drive a forklift
  22. Make a good swingers/fetish venue ......
  23. You'd be better off being an electrician or plumber , not many tools or certs to make decent money .. local work, not weather dependant I'd say by the time u get up to speed you'd be a knacker, both getting experience and your body's ****************ed . If you became an agricultural engineer , hours can be shite ,pay isn't great unless you freelance , then u need the tools. Constructions just as wank with kier getting the dinghy dwellers in to push rates down and get projects in back on price . To be honest most farmers are buggered and have to do a second trade to keep a farm going ..
  24. And not that greater money ,railways has had it now
  25. I know of persimmon doing it on 1970s houses in Dorset, depends on who built them and if any caveat stands. All I was trying to do was ditch clean on a bit of land brought from Taylor woodrow ...complete no no . And u can't beat the nimbys and nosey hunts in dorset ....bear in mind 70% aren't from Dorset!!
