Ice skating - been playing ice hockey for the last few years in Bristol. Grew up skating at Ally pally in jeans, one slip and you’d be soaking wet and freezing, taught you to get good pretty quick!

Don’t worry the BBC with their unbiased coverage have got it covered 👍

What’s the point of these posts may I ask? If we can break down your last two posts - some men peeing on a wall by your logic means they’re not patriotic? Could it not be like everything in this country that the council/organisers didn’t properly organise ahead of the protest? And your second post - reportedly between 150-200 thousand people turned out and 25 arrests were made that’s 0.017% hardly a lawless far right rally was it. I don’t have a dog in any fight in particular but lazy, unintelligent reposting of news stories to fit somebody’s narrative has just become accepted and the new norm. Do the posts give you sense of wellbeing (you might even get a like further entrenching your opinion) or have I got it completely wrong and you just enjoy cut and pasting in your free time?

It is a good article however slightly undermines its point by introducing Charlie Kirk as a “figurehead of the far right”. Further echoes impartiality by only referencing far right actions (especially given the current climate) but its key three points I feel are bang on the money!

Key word being context
-
How hard is it to fact check something before posting? This snippet has been clipped from a debate he was having about affirmative action - in short he just hopes the pilots qualified and hasn’t been given the job based on his colour. Context is everything but at least we now know you probably blindly peddle drivel daily.

What’s the model omef saw? and price? Did you try any other saw units? Looking for one for my 8t
-
There is no comparison - green climber all day long! Robocut are great machines for the price if you’re mostly doing grass and light bramble day to day however if you want something to do grass, scrub & small diameter saplings it’s the green climber. The green climber are a premium machine and will cost more if they go wrong but the output should far outweigh that.
-
Anyone had any experience with the fae mulcher - it’s to go on a 8t machine. TIA
-
Good experienced climber around Oxfordshire paye £40-45k

Give ecology a go - I would wager you already know more than most field surveyors. If you’re happy to travel and take anything that comes £20-25phr plus expenses will get you plenty of work, build up your experience and skill base get a couple of class licenses under your belt and charge more per hour/daily rate. The above is heavily seasonal so then spend the rest of the year gaining experience working in arb/forestry in a machine/working on a machine! I would take someone like yourself over a younger chap all day long, as you presumably know how to graft and have a true understanding of business. Good luck

“Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness rather than beg for permission” perfect answer! We live in a mad world where by people question whether they can climb a tree on public land 😆 as people have said just be polite if questioned and keep your kit off the floor .

Vehicle & plant check app-what’s everyone using?
JLA1990 replied to Treetom15's topic in Business Management
There’s no decent apps, well not that I’ve found. We use google sheets and it works well, you can create exactly what you need. -
Id be happy to, my ecological rate is £60ph feel free to message me.

This thread brings a phrase to mind “You really don’t know what you don’t know”

Thought I’d follow up - unfortunately had to pull out of the deal due to complete lack of communication. Upon telling the dealership I had no real communication, no trying to save the deal….just a sorry please don’t hold this against us as a dealer (what!?!). After pulling out i followed up and asked what is wrong with the digger, turns out there is a fault in the wiring harness and Mecalac are making a new one (no explanation of timeframes). If anyone knows of an 8MCR or tab boom excavator around 8/9t I’d be interested, feel free to dm me.

"Details, details. Things to do. Things to get done. Don't bother me with details, just tell me when they're done." You’re there to provide a professional solution to the problem. Saying that I don’t do domestic work and would imagine that a certain amount of Flagellation is required.

Gloucestershire- £300 a bay but that’s tackling anything we come across in the prep/removal. That’s good money as we have the kit to make it quick - 3t grab, compressor etc

Would you say this tree is too dangerous to climb and dismantle
JLA1990 replied to TreecisionJp's topic in Climbers talk
I can check for bats and @AHPP can get it down. 19th of June also suits me - £600 + VAT -
Yep me - it’s a great machine, nothing to date although we went round it following delivery tightening everything. 34k inc guarding and grab. Ha its better investing then watching it make fack all in the bank. TBH it’s abit of a new venture as such on the 8MCR but I just looked at it and thought we could make some money with that. The versatility and pumps are gonna make it interesting - vision involves the usual attachments and trailers! Habitat creation and de-veg works. If all fails they hold residual well “nothing ventured, nothing gained”
-
Defo not doing that - machine is well looked after and handles faultlessly. It’s a tracked 8MCR (tab) btw and I understand the specialist part which is why I want it otherwise id of walked away weeks ago and bought another 8t. @doobinis correct I recently purchased a E27 at a great price by basically putting the other brands prices in front of them and saying beat it!
-
Yeah and that’s something I appreciate but they’re a Mecalac dealer so expected a more prompt fix. Yeah it’s the machine for us - tbh it’s the perfect arb machine. Thanks for the input!
-
It was a hitch problem - the whole hitch has now been replaced but keeps displaying a sensor fault.
-
It’s a Mecalac and it’s not chump change as you’re probably aware. The reason why I havnt already said oh forget it, is there isn’t many/any others for sale.
-
No as tbh I wanted the machine to be fixed properly without me breathing down there necks however I feel this may have now been taken advantage of. Regarding urgency - again I just feel this goes without saying if you’re buying machinery you want it as quickly as possible so it can earn you money.
