GT Trax in Royston would be fairly handy for you. I bought two from them for my crane lorry and they are pretty much bulletproof.

Paul?

Looks like a Bear Cat to me.

I don't really have a problem with the touch screen test, it does the job of keeping anyone who is suicidally stupid off construction sites. There were a few things in the book I didn't know, specifically related to procedure on construction sites. The only advantage i can see to having something industry specific is preventing other trades/cscs card holders from doing tree work. With regard to npts not including general h&s stuff, I meant NPTCs plus touch screen test equal arborist category, not that you could skip doing it.

Most of the cscs sites iv been on dont know or care about NPTC, as long as you have a cscs card your ok. IF and it's a big if, cscs could be persuaded to recognise NPTC/lantra as a prerequisite for arborists, and indeed add arb to the list of occupations, then we would be getting somewhere.

Some, but not all. Most of the big specimen trees come from Italy or Holland. Some Japanese Maples come from New Zealand, although it takes them a year or two to adjust to the seasons.

Is that why my saw smelt funny after you fixed it up?
-
Dont bother doing C1+E, it is the same test as C+E and roughly the same money. B+ E is easier and cheaper to get, and will cover you for what you need ie 3.5 tonne truck and up to 3.5 tonne trailer.

Oh rig away, just thinking about climbing applications.

Located in Cambs.

Got a couple of bits of ash if anyone is interested please ring or pm.

Not so much on the bench as on the kitchen worktop, bit chilly in the workshop today! Throttle cable replacement on the 441, bit more fiddly than I was expecting. Old cable had frayed where it passes through the first plastic block, causing the throttle to stick. Gave me some interesting moments up a tree the other day!

I'm sure it is safe as houses, just wondering if it would meet the definition of three way locking for connectors.
-
3 separate movements would you say?
-
Is that rock exotica pulley just a push button to open?
-
Nope.

The code 107 is on licences that have the C1+E category as a grandfather right, ie if you have a pre 1997 licence. C1 is 7500kg MAM vehicle with no towing entitlement.
-
You can't drive the 5.5 tonner on a B category, trailer or no trailer. If you get pulled they will do you for driving without a licence, 11 points........
-
Yeah, bit of a difference between hitching an ifor up to a landy and getting a 45 foot semi trailer with a fifth wheel coupling hooked up to a artic tractor unit.
-
No, if you pass C+E you automatically get B+E but not the other way round.
-
I will volunteer to test it out and post a review, if a supplier wants to send me one.
-
Do you not feel your getting Fiat rather than Mercedes?

My last pair of Pfanner boots were made in Italy....

Those of us who climb with a variety of saws?! Get off your high horse, I have used just about every size of saw from a harness, up to an 880/3120 with a 4' bar. Proper planning and technique are more important than brute force is what I'm saying, and there is no reason why a 9 stone climber should struggle with a 90cc saw.
-
Yes it is, it's when the blinking thing is dangling off your harness its heavy, as soon as its in the cut it could be any saw.
