    You need to do some homework. 4.2hp as opposed to 4.6hp

    ouch. At least they don't bite like a 200t.

    Having a cube or similar makes a big difference with regards to the tangling of the line also. Smaller containers seem to encourage it.

    The Information is from AFAG. So do they think that 40/41 are optional?

    From AFAG 16 In-house, college or specialist training needs to provide an equivalent standard of training to any recognised training and certification that is available, but not mandatory. This means that detailed records need to be kept to show who provided the training (including their level of competence), what the training consisted of, its duration and how it was carried out. Post-course assessment of competence and a system of quality assurance will also be needed. Fine in theory, but I would hate to have to defend inhouse training and certification to the gent in the wig when the poo has hit the fan. http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/afag805.pdf here is the full document

    Arborist rope is semi static. Climbing on static line would be really nasty if you had even a small fall.

    It it happening at Deans? If so who is organising it? I have spoken with him and we will help out sorting the basic things, however a decision need to be made sooner rather than later. Deans is about 10 mins from junc 24 of the M62 (huddersfield) for those who have not been before

    I always base my reductions on percentage removal of canopy, not height or size.

    I bet it's a north-wales special. Dodgy bunch of blokes, led by a fat guy, driving landrovers & running amock

    The wikapedia definition of arborist is very broad in spectrum and inclusive of many things we include under the title "tree surgeon" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arborist I may be by definition an arborist, however I do not define myself or others within the arb or related industry by limiting titles. Why would I percieve that another worker is of lesser standard due to the monicer or title that they bestow upon themselves or others upon them?

    your not certified to prune or dimantle by rigging ...................................................................................................................... ! that's an opinion through reading the AFAG guidane and NPTC assesment notes
  18. Pete Mctree
    0 to 1% actual faliures. I think it has a high potential to fail though which would be what i based my decion upon
  19. Pete Mctree
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruning Read some more from other sources too. The better educated you can become, the better your decision making and pruning will be

    Serious timber going down, looks amazing fun:001_cool: [ame] [/ame]

    £1300 - chip as much as is possible, possibly even slab some timber to chip. would save an immense amount of time
  22. Pete Mctree
    No idea- the longer I worked on the tree the smaller it got. Comparing it to your tree it appears to be over 300ft:001_tongue:

    Some pics from monday working with Big Ammer. Staring Nigel (not pictured thankfully) and groundscum Chris and Dave ( left and right). Reduced to 7m as per spec.

    Speed and power are different things. my 440 will outcut my 660 on a 2ft log, but the 440 will not pull a 3ft bar. Sorry not an answer but trying to establish the context
  25. Pete Mctree
    660 with a 30in, or a 460 with a 25. 880 is only for huge trees in my books. I seldom have come across a tree that needs one
