    Thanks man, tbh id be pissed if it was my car, plus its cheaper to pay for the car cleaning than get a 1 star review on google.

    Grind or ecoplug. New growth from an old stump will have a weak union if allowed to grow to maturity.

    Seems this year more folk are moaning about leaves in the street etc....something in the air!

    Finished a 2 day job removing and grinding a large spruce from a clients garden. On completion the neighbours across the road complained about resin on their car. Looks like dust has blown from the chipper and its rained settling on the paint work, we're going to pay to get it cleaned to keep everyone happy, but has this happened to anyone else? We're usually pretty careful and our tipper has a box on the back.

    Qeurcus Bicolor?

    Drought was the first thought, however the leaves look as though they are suffering from Chlorosis.....could be a Iron/nitrogen deficiency? Iron deficiency would be my first go to as the leaves are quite young

    Yes, but I also think its an "exposure" thing. If there's a long run of big tree jobs the fear disappears after a while only to come back after a period of small stuff. As you get older you've also got more of an imagination, which gives you the fear but probably keeps you safe as well 🤷‍♂️

    Couldn't agree more. 3-4 small jobs in a day is usually more profitable for us than 1 large job, and far less strenuous

    I know its the summer and clients are wanting their gardens tidied more at the moment, but overall how much of your work is "proper tree work" and how much is hedge, garden clearance etc? We're maybe 40/60%

    Based in Glasgow, I commute 30 minutes my brother is 45 minutes to our yard which is on a farm. We pay £300 PM for space that would easily be 4 times that amount in the town. The great thing about being out in the country is there's no one poking their nose into your business, the farms manned 24 hours so its secure. The farm also has telehandlers that we borrow for loading chip/wood and we buy cherry diesel direct from the farm. We keep all equipment locked in ISO containers. Most jobs are around 20-30 minutes from the yard as we're close to motorways.....the commute can be a ball ache but I'd never go back to renting yard space in a built up area.

    I know for a fact the garage added the cleaner on the engine manifold between the cat

    Yup. I've got a feeling its a sensor telling the computer the DPF is clogged....if it weren't illegal I'd have the DPF out altogether and mapped out....

    Looking for some advice! Bought the above vehicle 6 months ago. Around a month into running it there was points in time where it would blow white smoke every 2-300 miles then stop. We thought it was just a regen on the DPF and put fuel cleaning additive in which definitely made it a lot better. Around 2 weeks ago the "exhaust filter full, drive to clear" regeneration message came up. I drove it and it cleared the message. Since then there has been almost no white smoke. A week ago however a solid engine warning light came on, so we took it to the garage. The garage did a forced regeneration and cleaned the DPF (sprayed cleaner). Since then the filter % on the dash has crept up to saying its full, until you stop the engine, turn it back on and its reading 95% for a few miles then says its full......it appears the passive regen isn't working and the vehicle isn't coming up with the "exhaust filter full, drive to clear". Anyone got any ideas or input? Many thanks in advance.

    Cant tell by the pictures but could be Scab. Your soil looks dry as well, give it a good water

    We've got the 22 tonne, they're currently using our picture as their main website pic. Really good equipment, well thought out. They definitely split quicker with 2 of you on it at once, but you'll be doing well to be able to split more than 3/4 m3 in a day

    Anyone had a go at using one?
  21. Excels1or
    Its a superb saw to use in the tree, as well as on the ground
  22. Excels1or
    I'd rather run 50:1, save the money I'd have spent on Aspen, and bought a new saw
