wireless headsets for tree work

I bought a roofmount last year, and straight away the comunication with groundstaff was a nightmare, the lad i got the tractor from had helmets made up with built in headsets and mikes. The difference was amazing, not even in tractor work but everything. we use them all the time. Climbing with them is excellent. like most i am the boss, but i am usually up the tree. i am not one for shouting on site because i hate that. but being able to comunicate all the time is so much more productive and safe. Especially when you have someone new out. Even reversing into driveways or sending someone to get something from the van, no more wandering back saying i couldnt find it, you just instruct them what to do from the other side of the house or site. All in all one of the best buys i have ever made.

My ones are about 4 years old now, they were very high spec at the time. I never got a box because i got them second hand. I would go on the web, i even see argos does them. The earmuffs slide straight into the 2 prong bits on the stihl hats, personally i dont like the stihl hat. there was a stand at the apf on the right just as you went in beside the monster chipper. they were doing them built into helmets for around 150plus vat.

I paid 350 for mine.

They have broke down twice, but just a fault in the wire where it had kinked. 20quid to the local tv repair guy and it was as good as new.

I saw somewhere you can now get bluetooth system that works thru your mobile, think it makes them work like walkie-talkies. given that, it'd be a cheaper system as the technology is already there! I'll see if I can find it somewhere.

my contract phone gives me free calls to orange, so you could get another cheap phone, plug in ear peaces and away you go. the beauty with my headsets is that it drowns everything out and you can basically whisper to each other, not that you have to. there is also a muffler button. if i am in the tractor and worker is cutting like mad, he can hit a button so he can hear me and i cant hear all the noise at his end. but i can still relay messages to him.

we wear them just for about everything now. even when someone greasing mog or doing maintenance i can walk all around farm and have a yap. you get the jist
