    you get well looked after staying in the parkway! a few nights sleeping in the back of a van and you'll have the money back for the landy lol
  3. Craig Johnson
    could you do the same course as an update?
  4. Craig Johnson
    the con here is, there not hard to get or special, just look for ali swage terminals/ferreuls (conical) for steel rope, I think the code on the side was tgk6 or something, used to by them by the box full off a commercial chandler, but I guess that some of the forestry suppliers should know where to look.

    I think this is the firmCHP | Combined Heat and Power - Power Guard

    i'll ask, as I remember it was a 3ph gen to run the farm that also automatically heated the thermal store for dhw and ufh and charged a battery bank/inverter for the house, with the option to add in both solars, around 40k from a firm in Lincolnshire.

    you can get off the shelf units like this, a mate is looking at one for his new farm, 50% cheaper than putting mains in
  8. Craig Johnson
    how many operatives? what's the main work going to be? 020, ms361(long and short bars) hedge trimmer and blower
  9. Craig Johnson
    better to do the ISA cert arborist, for similar money and world recognized

    Any one (almost) can drive a digger OR climber a tree, (though not at the same time) The Skill sets are very different for both, BUT there are far more climbers that could drive a digger than digger drivers that could climb a tree.
  13. Craig Johnson
    bold statement that!! there is a mile of difference between a proficient climber and an experience proficient climber. there's far more science in tree work than digger driving, that just pressing buttons and they train monkeys to do that......that may be not be the best example:blushing:

    try tony @Ginkgo Árboles works with some top climbers

    working near stokesley on a quite and signal track lane for a few days, it started with a full road closure, signed diversion, row of cones ect , but by the end, then with tape hedge to hedge, 20m further gas board type barriers hedge to hedge, 20m further landrover across road, in the hedges and they still came through carrying they bikes over the bash
  16. Craig Johnson
    could be right about the tape, when I was in Italy, the guys put three string of tape across every thing, when I asked why so much-'to stop the kids running under':blushing:

    I think cyclist are the worst, going through barriers ect, but slightly off topic, today the York marathon went past our house, after a hour of the race, a group bikes came up the road against the runners!!

    I like them because they are quite a tall boot and give loads of ankle support, only boots I have so climb all the time in them, no probs

    p.s. I would not be worried that you might get some snow and it might do some damage, if we all pruned/felled trees for this reason then our gardens and city's would be naked of trees. enjoy the tree, sit in the shade and have a txakoli
  20. Craig Johnson
    if you don't have to prune don't, or possibly some retrenchment pruning on the co-dom stems. cant see any benefit to doing a reduction.
  21. Craig Johnson
    remember that survey is not worth a tot if things go wrong and you don't have a relevant qualification
  22. Craig Johnson
    why:001_huh:
