  1. Past hour
  2. Politicians should shut the fck up. Politics is statehood which is violence. Don't pay your TV licence. Ignore the court process. Fight the coppers who come to cage you. They'll eventually shoot you if you fight back hard enough. Politicians are fine with political violence as long as it isn't directed at them.
  3. Your age and climbing experience might actually make you a better tree climber... go the easy safe way rather than all out and taking the odd dodgy move. Age isn't as limiting as you might be led to believe. Constant knocks from tree climbing does take its toll though (you don't have that though 'experience'). What I was going to comment, and I am not sure if they will, but there are a few members here who have been in the military, now doing arb work, who might be able to give unique insights of any issues you might encounter with this career shift.
  4. Imagine this scenario... Dodgy company hires an apprentice - lets say an older one, 21 so no issued with needing closer supervision that a 16 year old might, new to the industry, is trained in the dodgy practices. Lets say for argument that the apprentice is cheaper than an experienced operator - dodgy company. Apprentice knows nothing, knows not what precautions to take, and no one could expect them to know... so Emergency stops are fitted to machines.
  5. If you can split them and then let them dry that is better - smaller pieces will dry quicker

  10. It won't be mine but ......what is it ?
  11. Again, another rambling…… On from the skid steer idea, after chatting to a few people my way who run both I’ve decided a digger makes more sense for the workload/type, plus they are similar money and more versatile! I’ve got my heart set on a 1.8/2t machine, that will go on my 2700 plant trailer (weighs 600kg) and has vari tracks for access. I know 2.7t machines will move more but the lower weight/versatility is more important to me currently (plus they are cheaper) Does anyone out there run the smaller bobcat e19 or e20 as an arb digger, or a machine if a similar size-if so how do you find them? I did try trawling the arb digger thread but ran out of concentrate……..
