  1. I'm looking for a self employed 2nd climber/groundie to work for me on a part time basis. Imediate state preferable. Rates dependant on experiance PM me for further details Pete
  2. given the mrs your credit card again? silly boy:001_tongue:
  3. In your dreams, i'd have felled it and sold them the logs
  4. cut it in half- at least the owners will get value for money:001_tongue: oh sorry is this another tedeous "bash those with hideous pruning ideals" thread? If so, thin, balancing the heavy side by thinning out the longest laterals thus avoiding heading cuts:001_cool:
  5. Nice smooth work, with some well balanced picks. Looked a fair sized crane, how big and what was your lift at that distance?
  6. Trees don't require managment!!!! We manage them for our own needs, be it a crop or part of our enviroment, or in the case of tree worker our income.
  7. I like trees but i prefer pretty ladies! You did ask:001_tongue:
  8. As they are woking on a commercial site- i.e. your woodland make sure they provide the required documents, insurance etc or make them engage a contractor to do the works. make sure they provide the required paperwork too. Hit them in the wallet, plus they have already proved themselves incompetant to carry out the work. If they refuse just call the police
  9. Can you import the pic Jason- some of us don't visit AS
  10. A helmet rash at anytime of the year sounds unpleasant:scared1:
  11. I agree Ed- there orange with black writing. Never seen a bar take such abuse. Still fecking heavy when it's 5ft long on an 880 though ! http://www.gbbar.com.au/extra_long_bars.htm
  12. And you say a company is unprofesional for not being able to reverse a chipper. I think your selective adherance to legislation and rules, combined with such statments makes a mockery of such posting
  13. Power rangers rule!!!!!
  14. I was waiting for you to chime in. Bet you clicked on it asap AND have your tub of lube sat there waiting
  15. I stand corrected - happily p.s. I hope that the 700kg GTW is a typo:scared1:
  16. Agreed. Our link with the American banking system has not paid dividends of late. Time to try and compact and restructure our economy.
  17. He's far too discreet for such demeaning acts:sneaky2:
  18. the jolly ginger giant has said enough me thinks..........
  19. They are difficult, but by no means impossible Dean. The idea that you are not professional by kitting yourself out with a chipper of legal tow weight for a 3.5ton vehicle it absurd (legal as in it does not reduce the carrying capacity of the vehicle). Surley disregarding legislation, so you can reverse smoothly up a driveway is less professional?
  20. well i have to say Dean, i agree for once
  21. Don't you love it when it sneaks up on you! It's like an old friend that you hoped had lost your address then turns up out of the blue!
  22. What DIDN'T you buy then Bob
  23. They have many uses in different configurations. I'd personally learn a little more about systems before "finding a use" for a piece of kit. Sorry if i sound dismissive, it's not intended, but using new kit requires extra care. I agree with the sentiment "low and slow" for any change in working practice
  24. Mydad worked for BT at the time. I remeber him being away from home for over 3 months repairing the damaged infrastructure. We were not effected this far north thankfully
