Employees and chainsaws?

Local farmers do the same under the exemption, and get me in to take down tricky trees or less straightforward tasks. I have recommended to them that they don't do lone working, wear ppe (JOhn Deere overalls and a flat cap work best) and have a (dirty handkerchief ) 1st aid kit available on site. Can't seem to get the point across about working from a teleported bucket yet!!

 

so true for most family run farms. Bigger outfits seem to call the professionals more these days but they sub out a lot of the work that used to be done in house but employ less full time staff.

I like calls from farmers as they usually difficult or huge otherwise they would have just done it themselves also tractors and telehandlers are usually available if needed.

Yes I agree Treesnatcher, the big estates now have in contractors to fell, and manage their trees.
