  1. Its not really your problem is it though? Unless its your local? The options are either prune the tree and hope the paperwork goes through, or wait for the paperwork, I'd be amazed if they process any quicker than three weeks.
  2. Its called Operator Compliance Score, and you have to contact VOSA directly to find out what yours is.
  3. A klemheist will struggle to grip on a single line. If you really want to use a single line invest in some srt gear, otherwise use the single line to pull up a doubled line. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  4. Really? The offence is driving without a licence, easy conviction for VOSA and can lead to an immediate ban.
  5. Spot on jrose. Treebloke the link you posted is referring to overhang on the vehicle itself not the load. FWIW the maximum overhang to the sides of the vehicle is 305mm, without getting into police escorts etc.
  6. Once you get on it changes your whole outlook on tree work. I hardly ever use casual labour on a long drag or for carrying logs anymore, and the loader never rings in sick or gets tired after lunch.
  7. The mewp was a bit short, it was a 2 day job and the mewp was only there for one day, and Jerry Baranek was in the mewp taking photos.
  8. Asia economy corned beef had traces of Bute in it.
  9. Yeah, can't see any obvious skid marks though.
  10. Very nice Rich, although I have to say I'm slightly disappointed with the choice of colour for the whipping, I think dark green to match the fleck would really have set it off nicely.
  11. Thats (partly) why I dont buy meat from supermarkets.
  12. Pretty good turn out last year, now there is only one ISA event its a bit more concentrated.
  13. Service Metals, from memory around £70 plus vat for a 6.4 metre 150mm wide plank.
  14. How did he get down there and stay there without sliding right in? Good effort on the recovery.
  15. Uk Comp Highclere Castle
  16. Aluminium plank is probably the easiest stuff to use, but its not cheap. If you use ally sheet then 2mm minimum really, anything less will just get bashed. Ideally get a fabricator to fold a profile up for you. As for corrosion, there are plenty of ali truck bodies on the road.
  17. Unless there is any reference to BS3998, I can't see how they can object to whatever you do.
  18. The current ranger is huge, good payload, and if you get the 3.2, lots of grunt. The Isuzu dmax is pretty impressive for a normal sized pickup. I have a navara, been an excellent truck and gets worked hard too.
  19. That blue hairy stuff that comes on big reels?
  20. Woman locked in kitchen. Sorry, dont really see the problem here.
  21. Ms660.
  22. YouTube is your friend. You get an idea of what's involved anyway, and decide if you want to take it further.
  23. Thurlow Nunn Standen or Pecks are the nearest to me.
  24. They look good, do you know how much the unit costs to buy?
  25. That's interesting,the last time I was looking (about 3 years ago) the only one readily available was liros herkules, and certainly no 6 mm cords. Personally don't think I'd feel comfortable on less than 10mm for access line, might go less on a lanyard, but less than 11 as a climbing line is very uncomfortable.
