  1. Not sure if it will work with the bollard actually, waiting to hear
  2. I love the 2001, does everything that I have ever needed it to do. Never had the need to winching abilities when lowering. Anything requiring something like would typically end up being a crane job anyway.
  3. When you apply for the job i'm sure you will find out. Oh wait, you have no intention of applying for this job you say?
  4. Mark, i'm going to be selling some hitch locks very shortly, just waiting on pricing confirmation. I'm not 100% sure but I believe one of them may just work for you.
  5. sports massage was the thing that kept me going for years. Inbetween that I would see an osteopath here and there. Ultimately I decided to just stop climbing rather than knacker myself up even more.
  6. From the pics i'd guess at a hybrid black, but hard to say. I'd like to fell that leaning one though ?
  7. The worst is when they come outside with a cup of tea in their hand to have a chat
  8. Update, we now have a massive 1300 tip sites
  9. Interesting little read Ancient tree with record of Earth's magnetic field reversal in its rings discovered WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM The kauri tree, found in New Zealand, lived over 40,000 years ago.
  10. Jonathan pie calling someone a pretentious knob with a giant ego, brilliant ?
  11. I think they are great trees but view them probably a bit different to you, ie as an arborist and someone who potentially has to climb them. Not the most pleasant trees to work on by any means!
  12. This part is most certainly true. If you are a good worker you will always find work easy in this trade regardless of your skillset
  13. Didn't have to deal with any of that on this particular job thankfully, no layby's
  14. Carried out a months work of tree work on the new A1(M) around 22 years ago. Most of it involved thinning the roadside stands. Part of the contract was to litter pick all the plots and we took that on ourselves. Didn't have the luxury of littler picking handles, all was done by hand and a lot of it involved crawling through the blackthorn thickets on our hands and knees. There was a whole load of crap in there that had been there for a lot of years. Loads of old bottles full of suspiciously coloured liquids that were so old and degraded they disintegrated in your hands when you picked them up. We wore rubber gloves underneath gauntlets, but it was still grim. There was a Mcdonalds at Alconbury that we had stopped at to eat every night throughout the works. No one had any appetite on the litter picking days. Had about a week of that all in all.
  15. Have you done your research into what you'd be likely to earn? Its probably safe to say a tree surgeons wage is going to be a massive drop from online advertising
  16. Positive review on the Dolmar 4 stroke strimmer here My Dolmar 4 stroke 24.5cc trimmer review | LawnSite WWW.LAWNSITE.COM I purchased this trimmer last week and it has preformed amazing. I bought the speed feed head with it and total with tax was $350. I have put about 8...
  17. Ask @shavey if he can get a Dolmar version
  18. Only one I have used is the Honda(even though mine was Stihl branded). Can't comment on the Makita, but their general product range is good. Can't see theres much to go wrong with it. See where you can get the best deal is what i'd say
