Guess after I knocked the light fitting of the lamp post next to it with one of the last limbs he thought it might be better to leave it alone. Bugger

eats sandwiches, drinks soup and occasionally uses two hands on his weapon of choice Thanx for your help Pete

Thanx for reply Tony. I am RFS Cert Arb. Therefore should I do just PTI and not bother with Lantra basic?
-
Back to the original thread (and a question I have still never got a clear answer to either) I know all about the merits of experiance etc, etc, etc, etc, but in simple terms would a logical progression to show due diligence (in theoretical/certification terms) be Lantra basic survey leading to Lantra PTI?

Get Mattheck's Stupsi Explains the Tree and The Face of Failure, really good reads/referance without getting too deep.

Some good points made! I actually think the firewood situation (and the knock on effect to arb) will get worse over the next year. There will be many more people out of jobs soon and some of these will no doubt see firewood as easy money (through lack of knowledge). The inflated price of firewood (just been told one person charging £90/pickup load ) will be too tempting for many have-a-goers to resist.

Happy new year and all the best to you all

Thats why I kept my 13/75 when I got a 190 To answer the question I have had no personal exp with the camon, but one customer I did work for had hired one and when he saw the 13/75 working he shook his head in dis-belief at how fast it processed. IMO I would look out for a decent 2nd hand 13/75, give it a good service/new blade and stick some pneumatic tyres on it.

Agree Matty Im Stihl through and through but totally agree for an all round saw (15 - 24")this cannot be beaten. Got one a few years back when I could not afford a saw for every job and it has done me proud. Dont think you will get one for that money now though. A 230 for firewood? Used one for years to climb with. As soon as I got a T and used 230 for ground work it could not cope. Unlike the 365 a 230 is def a sei-pro, just IMO, everyone has there own views/experiances.

Two types of tracker as far as I know/was told (info from a big plant hire company I did some work for) 1. Active all the time - as used on fleet vans/hire plant/securicore etc. Bloody expensive. 2. Pasive type tracker - activated on request ie when nicked. About £500 1st year (fitting etc) and £150/year sub. As said above, easy to find/remove by a pro and neither work in metal containers!
