Clarity On Hedges That are both Deciduous & Evergreen
GordonM replied to GordonM's topic in Trees and the Law
All the trees do belong to Property 4. They have offered 50% contribution to having that entire horizontal row reduced in height by alot. But some of Properties 123 refuse to contribute and are adamant it's property 4 sole responsibility to have them paid for. I personally dont agree with that, but that's only one opinion of 4. re: all the bits of the hedge affect all 3 properties... i probably did say above that the only evergreen portions of this that are >2M are the Laurels and Coniffers. Obviously the preferred outcome for most of the properties here would be that if council were formally brought into this, they'd only order a reduction in height for the evergreens over 2M. The truth is if all the deciduous came down in height too, all 4 gardens would lose alot of privacy, not to mention the shame for wildlife and environmental benefits etc. I do think that'd be the worst outcome personally. I wonder if Property 4 paid just to have the evergreen ones reduced to 2M we could avoid this whole fiasco. All things considered what do you think? -
Neither are 023 and 038, which I loved to bits. I never had a 391, but my son did for a short time, and then he swapped it for a Husky. He still borrows my 400 for bigger jobs though. 😁

Uniforest titanium 14 ton log splitter for sale. I bought this new from Riko UK early 2016, it's got a tail board and lights "not pictured" & weighs around 500kg I believe. We have extended the table so it's easy to work with big rings as there is plenty of room to split without dropping wood on the floor. The table can also be removed so you can either break down big rings on the floor or for splitting billets. It's been used for 2 days since 2020 and has sat in a barn out of the weather. I have as of 2 days ago done a complete service as I didn't intend to sell the machine. New air filter, spark plug, & engine oil all genuine honda & New hydraulic oil, it's all greased up and can be put straight to work. The only issues are very light surface rust where the power coating has come away in places. A wind down leg is missing "doesn't affect anything as it's not needed" & a bolt that I put in to stop the table moving about has snapped "see photo" again doesn't affect the machine. It's been a brilliant machine but I no longer have a use for it. £4000 or very near sensible offer Wakefield west Yorkshire Simon 07977114605£4,000

Ex-Soldier (County Durham) looking at getting into Arb/Forestry
JAG63 replied to Ex-Sapper's topic in Employment
Hi, suspect you're past ELC or have already used it. You may have useful licenses as an ex Sapper that can be a quick win for a lot of potential employers, C1+E or better still C+E and have probably got plant experience/licenses with CS30/31 could make you really useful. If you have access to any funding TKF training do regular courses aimed at service leavers, Holmfirth so out of area for you. -
What you'll earn PAYE is a broad spectrum depending on the firm and what they value you at, but I've found that guys entering the industry as climbers nowadays are offered about £11 - £12 ph if they are green. £13+ if they have a few years experience or pick it up quick, show efficiency, interest and prove they are reliable, with a good work ethic etc. After that, team leader roles seem to average at about £14 -16 ph. London it's often more. The trouble is, you have to somehow prove that you're worth the firm giving you climbing jobs. Especially if there are several trainees eager to get any climbing they can. It is a lot safer, easier and quicker for the firm just to use the experienced climber whenever they can. I've seen guys go and get all their tickets, turn up first day bright eyed and bushy tailed, only to get slowly ground down by the prospect of only doing small trees for the next three years. In my opinion, PAYE jobs can be harder to progress in. Your climbing background will help you. But Arb can throw some major challenges your way. Add a chainsaw, -4°C, sideways rain that leaves you frozen to your core, 100ft in the air, wind that makes you question the structural integrity of the tree and a lot of weight and you can quickly find yourself in a whole lot of trouble. That aspect of the job definitely isn't for everyone. There will be times where you experience near misses and you'll begin to understand the risks involved. If I were you, in today's climate, I'd give myself three years. Year 1, I'd seek an employed gig. Get them to fund some tickets and work until you've gone past the payback clause that'll be in your contract. Year 2, I'd approach some domestic arb contractors to get some Subbing work as a groundie. As many firms as you need to get full time work. 3 days a week with them, 2 days a week with him etc etc. Learn the ropes as it were... tell them that you're keen to try climbing. Keep them sweet by turning up when you say you will, keep your attitude straight and get after your goals. But keep yourself booked up as much as you can. Firms that like having you on board will begin to offer whole blocks of time. Like 3 months of work 2 days a week etc. Then you can start to plan around that. (Arb can go quiet all of a sudden so be careful there...) Year 3, you'll know if you like it or not by then. If so, push harder for climbing, learn what you can online, from books and through watching the more experienced guys. Start to think about how you can excel at the career. It's not all about knowing "what" you are doing up a tree, it's about knowing "why" You are doing it. Or some blokes come into the industry and decided they are happy chipping, cutting, working on the ground. There are too few like that because the money only starts to get better if you climb, or start out your own company.

That's right, the wissey isn't connected to the broads, now if I'd have asked about river moorings close to/connected the Ouse he'd have been close.
