  1. Welcome to hire companies, its not the case of you've been done over ,its business, you broke it you pay for it...its probably that genuine parts have to be fitted in accordance with the hse policy and insurance. Have to take care of someone else's machine next time .shit happens
  2. I guess u mean that stupid plastic stop switch
  3. No i didnt notice that , but Hazel is one of the most easiest things to proper gate ,try not to mow around it then! What about a cutting ?
  4. Why dont you layer the original cobnut ,then when its rooted take it off that? You should have more chance and the parent plant aswell rather than a sucker that might not produce ?
  5. No problem, he had alot of ex forces people on the course last time ,some went into estate works etc But he's worth the call
  6. Talk to lee at lbs training Wellington, he will give you an un biased answer as to if your past it , he is also ex sas too -you might consider forestry instead . Depends how much your body's fked Some people change career at 40 and dunno if that's not ideal.
  7. See how loose it is and then attempt to stake after straightening it up ,if it won't lift up again then support it with the lean with a natural crutch
  8. Let me know if u get stuck,
  9. What about bryco in Northants and see if they vould cross match parts or rebuild the engine ?they do most of the brands
  10. The stihl Ms 201t was like that I once owned even though I ran it on aspen, found out it left the factory without a gasket in the carb. If it gives you no warning and cuts out either on idle or when your moving around the tree or randomly after a cut . I'd rule out everything else first but that was it . Tried gaskets and carb rebuild through a dealer no good , tried a new carb through a dealer that was roughly 250/300 from memory .... still didnt run well.
  11. Might be worth asking the old girls of plant on FB for parts and other stuff like that
  12. Sorry, mark wasn't referring to yourself but I remember an puppet of a house holder somewhere up country who use a ground saw at neck hight and guess what happend . Then the rest of us have more qualifications and legislation to follow
  13. Most structural engineers don't know much why it comes to trees , I once argued with building control about a tree 50ft away from footings being pulled in greensand, he was trying to suggest footings a 16ft Leyland would cause issues , when challenged about it they use a guide from nhbc that's not based on tree species or types of soil/rock below ground level , So really a load of bollocks . Ive also heard of this crap take a 1/3rd off it per year before the trees gone. I'd suggest talk to your house insurance, ultimately if it goes wrong they will foot the bill, also they might suggest they aren't that bothered about tree removal because they deem it far enough away from the house or might stipulate otherwise . Ive had the miss pleasure of dealing with structural engineers in other disciplines they aren't that bright. Ever thought about a professional tree surveyors report ? Might be a bit more in depth than a structural engineer and more relevant.
  14. Just putting feelers out ,ive the following saws from new and are un used ,they've been run up on aspen and bar that just sat on a shelve not being used. Photos and prices to follow Echo cs370 es x1 as new Echo 362 top handle x1 new Efco mt3700 ground saw x1 As I say only putting feelers out , echos brought when fgm became the importers , fgm shifted stuff on .
  15. Its not the saw that's dangerous,its the idiots using it ,if it isn't a top handle it will be a ground saw used off ladders...its about time people who buy a saw take accountability for using it , maybe they will realise how complex and dangerous tree surgery is. No doubt the hse will lump all accidents together -rather than splitting them between home owners and professionals .
  16. Chandler timber go everywhere for timber based staffs but bloody helpful
  17. That's shit ,I'm lucky I was covered for it really
  18. Thing that pissed me of was not working out what was stolen or being able to replace it even though I had a 9k limit on a business credit card ..and they came back again took a new stihl Ms 241 when my dad was taken ill..but its the damage they do and the police 's piss poor attitude.
  19. Has it got much lift by the time you take the cutter head out ?
  20. Keep saws in house or shed, in personal experience most time theifs only want whats easy to move on sell on and trying to replace kit is really hard ,because no one carrys much stock in .-unless your fortunate to live next door to the big sellers
  21. We had a box ,all they do is leaver the box to break the padlock , Really you want a box ressed into the door itself , but then they come along with a plasma cutter and cut the side of the container . The loss adjuster came out once and said to me he had a client that buried a shipping container, they were in and out within 5 mins . All u can do is reasonable precautions as if they want it they take it and thes nothing you can do. Also the law doesn't work in your favour they just see it as a business theft ...oh well.
  22. Things like the trees in the London parks normally managed by big tree firms . But I do recall few years ago surrey council wanting a climber / office bod and they were to oversee consultancy and tree teams ...for that they were offering 33k a year and also needed a degree to do the job too. I await the usual twats to comment . But I looked at it and thought it wasn't worth the wnk
  23. I dont know of one or ever heard of one ,have heard of crane hire companies asking for cpcs slinger/signaller from tree surgeons climbing using cranes ...how ever be aware that it gets messy especially if they want an appointed person qualification .
  24. F me ,but if you dont have a clue about excavators ,you'd be better hiring one , no problems no asset deprication, no problem if its the wrong size ... You'd probably get a decent rate for 18month Or failing that you could get someone that knows what there doing and have it done quicker
