    Not a fan of the tripod ladders myself. They certainly make for a stable platform but they are more of a pain to transport and not as versatile. Would rather a 3 stage ladder that opens into an a frame

    didn't look easy to budgen at all
  3. Steve Bullman
    How high was that exactly?
  4. Steve Bullman
    Quite how he didn't hurt himself badly I have no idea

    To be fair he didn’t state if the garage had given permission for them to sell the scrap of if they just helped themselves

    So call me stoopid, but Is that not an indication that this chipper could be stolen?
  8. Steve Bullman
    Logbook for a chipper?

    I like this idea, as you say though the boss has to live up to his side of the deal

    If I saw the person who had done the damage I would make it quite clear that they needed to own up to it, because I sure as hell aren’t going to have suspicion upon me through someone else’s cock up

    Good thread Dan I think all the points you mentioned have merits but would be unworkable for the most part for small companies(2-3 men). As a subbie, the only place I have come across incentives has always been in the larger companies Profit share? Not sure how this can be feasible really. It would have to be a yearly thing perhaps, but then who gets the share? There are going to be plenty of occasions where jobs over run, eating into the profit. Tools are broken/lost through carelessness, all coming out of the years profit.....how to fairly decide who breaks the tools and receives less of a profit share? In my experience very very few employees put their hands up with they are responsible for breaking something unless caught in the act............'who put that new dent in the truck'??? all employees shrug their shoulders.

    @damian used to post quite a few adverts for Vienna. Might be worth getting in touch with him

    Had some blackthorn on the go last night. Burned it on sitemap plenty of times but never inside. Fantastic wood, burns like coal and chucked out some impressive heat

    i'll see what I can do

    Doubt I would have managed 7 of those trees even in my prime. That’s a lot of work in those circumstances

    Well I assume you can climb to a reasonable standard? The only way to get experience in reductions is by doing it. They look reasonably straight forward when it comes to shaping. Its simply a case of getting a nice high anchor point, choosing a groundy with a half decent eye for shape, and cracking on. Or better still, bring in a freelancer to carry out the works, get the job done and learn from him at the same time

    Just saying......

    I think honeys might have it

    There were few devices available when this was published

    Never timed it, not sure how you reliably could really, so many variables such as timber size, how much pressure you apply(shouldn’t be any). i generally get a full days work from 2 batteries though with the type of work I use it for
  24. Steve Bullman
    You did a good job
  25. Steve Bullman
    power wise I would say about the same actually. Think the 150 is a little lighter? No idea about the temperature question.
