I've found if I let the stacks dry for a month, then I get NO smoke from burning. Heat gets pretty intense though!

I think the change I've seen in 20 years is the advancement of paramedics and air ambulances. When I went on my first first-aid course 15 years ago, it was 6 days of intensive medical training. They would fail you if the overlaps on your bandages were 1/2inch out. Nowadays they just want you to keep the casualty alive till the proffesionals get there. The emphasis is keep them breathing, stop them bleeding. Studies have shown that over eager first aiders (wannabe doctors) have done irreperable damage to casualty's and even killed them. An emergency first aid course is 1 day, costs about £45, and in my opinion, if you cant put your staff through that, you may aswell give up.

Ive burnt 20 tonnes an hour of fresh rhody without an air burner. Just pile it up high! I usually just rake it out the ground with the excavator, pile it in stacks and leave for 2 weeks to wilt. Go back and apply old tyre to eaach stack. We usually have about 30 fires going at a time. I enjoy rhody clearance.

On my contract, every team member has to have an emergency first aid certificate. Not a legal requirement, but a sensible precaution methinks.

Really? I thought the lack of bypass was its biggest failing. I would have thought a proper grapple would have been much better.

I see you still have that wonderfull grapple.

Gravity / self feed chippers can work very well, especially if your a small outfit and need a low cost machine.

Ta for that. I somehow missed a load of questions in this thread. As I said, Todds Leap are excellent people to do business with.

Ha... Bet you cant find it though.... Anyway, my damning of the green oval is justified, as I've had so many of them.

Good Point - I heard of a tree surgeon being bankrupted by a crane hire company screwing up on a job. Like I said, My usuall crane company will do me contract hire but for 10% extra charge they agree to insure the job. Works out a lot cheaper than contract lift.

This is my better side.

Nick, Whoever did yours (and does the current management) did a very very good job, as your site comes top of the listings for the manchester area. It also looks really clean and simple.
