  1. ashley tree surgeons have got a mitsubishi that ive driven a few times, i would highly recomend it, fully loaded and towing a chipper it performs very well, but is a bit bouncy without weight in the back
  2. yep, il be up there for the weekend again
  3. im currently studying a fdsc arb and tree care course. out of 8 people im the only one with any real industry experience. im not saying that some of the people on the course wont make good tree officers but im unsure of why some people are on the course, why they have decided to become a part of this very small industry, im also concerned about the "professional" status they will hold on completion of the course(although the course includes a years work 'experience').im not doing the course to become a TO, im doing it to to expand my professional ability and to further my own buissness.. i know why im doing the course but struggle to understand the motives of of some other people
  4. thank you for my birthday wishes x

  5. the tree will try to defend itself by putting up walls to contain any decay(codit) regardless of that an opening for pathogens has been created as well as a weak point in the tree
  6. i couldnt find my old stretches sheet, but il call my physio tomorrow and see if she can give me a copy. obviously its different for everyone but at least it will get you started. oh and a couple of goes with the old ultrasound machine if the physio has one does wonders in reducing the inflamation
  7. yeah i was supposed to be subbying today but it got called off.reducing oaks back to a bonudry line so i was pretty pleased to not be climbing. i live in tiptoe so pretty close

  13. hehe the ropes were the easy bit. couldnt wait to get back on the ground and hand the invoice over
  14. these pics are from a very small job i did taking down a sninny woodland ash leaning over a power line, it was pretty sketchy and didnt really fancy climbing it, so i climbed the one next to it and traversed accross to knock the top out. i had to set 2 lines onto 2 other trees to stop it springing back after id taken the top out. at one point i dont mind admitting i didnt think i was going to be able to do it but i couldnt face my brother(my groundy) ripping the piss out of me for ever for chickening out. anyway the customer was stoked and ive got a load of work off the back of it:001_cool:
  15. thats the 7901, cant really fault it appart from makita are being crap on sending out spare at the moment. the 9010 is a much older saw. the newer range has been changed quite alot, mr ed can probably tell you more about it than me yeah that platforms ok, used it a fair few times for different types of jobs, amazing some of the spaces you can get it into
  16. it pretty much was money for nothing not often you get just the fun bit and dont have to do all the crap
