  1. From what Arborists in the States have told me you don't have a quarter of the government intervention that we have................TBH our government the ''EU'' doesn't really want small businesses, so they put hurdles up, most small company's' can't afford a full time ''jobs worth/health and safety officer like the big boys, so it either hurts us financially or we loose the job.
  2. when I was an Arb contractor I worked far too many hours for way too little, sod that for a game I'm pleased I eventually came too my senses before the stress killed me, I've never known a job to be so stress full, not that Joe public understand that, they think its all about poncing about in a wood being at one with nature

    the only snag will be the weight of the running gear, I doubt it will legally carry as much as 1000kg, unless its over 3500kg gross weight truck
  4. Do they have risk assessments in the USA
  5. I had a client bang on about my risk assessments etc etc a few weeks ago, I ended up telling the ''jobs worth'' I think it would be better if he found another contractor as I can't be arsed with your stupid requests!
  6. I guess its horses for courses, how many hours a year does your mate require a ride on? personally I'd rather a commercial walkbehind Ferris, Scagg or Great Dane

  22. I have two boats a little Walkerbay RIB with 10hp Honda, and my pride and joy a new 2012 Hobie Adventure Island, I've had two of these, my first one was fully fitted with Garmin GPS, Garmin fish finder, RAM rod holders i'm not sure if i'll fit the new one out, as I prefer sailing to fishing in it. The Adventure Island can be sailed, peddled or paddled, in single hull mode, Polynesian style with single out rigger or in full sail mode
