Don't get me started! I'm like a kid with an argos catalogue in November - I need very little encouragement to buy more kit! 

Go all the way then and fit a hiab but think about the overall wait you can carry.

What do you mean by that ? I know a few scaffolders and one of them can even write his own name.

Smarter than most tree surgeons then.

To get a C1E is costing about £800 including theory and medical (provided you have experience with larger vehicles and trailers).

Not sure how they are doing that.

 

The fixed costs for getting as far as C1E run to over £450.

Thats without paying the instructor.

With the 3 hours needed for the two driving tests there is not much left for actual training time.

Is that a 7.5t? I'd have assume 18t from the bulk of it.

Yes, you'd have to be competent already I'd expect. They are just physically providing you with what you need for the test etc.

If someone with little or no experience wanted to get to C1E with work use ie CPC

 

The courses would stack up like this

 

C1

Medical from £50

Theory & hazard course & one attempt at each test £60

CPC module 2 course & one attempt at the test £45

CPC module 4 course & one attempt at the test £140

Practical driving course & one attempt at the test £610 

Total £855

 

To add C1E

Practical course & one attempt at the test £380-610 depending on how the first course with us went & how long since the C1 course.

 

Our courses have on average a 93% first time pass rate.

 

We can secure major funding for these courses for all Welsh registered forestry businesses.

Its a 7.5 tonner

That looks well handy.

Any idea of the weight with an empty bin on?

[topchippyles]

Between 4-41/2 ton so means you would be on or around 3 ton gross weight carrying.
