I walked away from a job a while back, boundary tree but no definitive boundary. Client (builder) wanted it down, neighbour didnt, claimed it was their tree, I smelled a load of hassle, and left. Not worth the waste of time. Oh and the tree is still there, 2 years on.

The best cook-up we had was when myself and Mr Bullman turned up to work for lee winger, opened the back doors of the lorry, 2 gas rings blasting away with a couple of big pans sizzling away in the back:thumbup:

A friend of mine did his Forestry a few years back, and his range of knowledge is vast. I think the Forestry ticket is probably a better one to have, better preparing you for the real world. To give you an idea of the work he does, he's a tree climber (he dislikes the "arborist" moniker) a forester, and a rural surveyor for a Land Agency, so he covers many angles of the tree working world, from management to hands-on.

I'm just about 6'4", and have no trouble finding tall fit trousers. Just bought a pair of Oregon Fjordland trousers (type A) 36-38"waist long leg and they are fit just so. Maybe worth a look to see if they do a Type C if you are doing aerial work.

But we need a member who has one of these machines to shout about its qualities so others know. This is the best place to get products out there, and honest reports by the users must help sales.

Have easily lifted in 250ltr multi-stemmed silver birches, it makes positioning the trees in the pits very easy. Tbh havent tried heavier to date tested it with a 600kg Douglas fir log as well. Its very stable and easy to manouver. I used a 2ton engine lift, maybe ott but better to over-engineer i think

So does being privy to certain information mean your inspection is better than A.N Other's inspection due to a hidden set of rules that your colleagues cant see?
