can i have a tipping horsebox:confused1: with plenty of chip for bedding:thumbup:

what age was it

personally i think the unit is too big and indepth for as you say highway guys i personally think a smaller limited unit that if they needed winches electric ect should call a proper tree team in maybe there was scope for both? I have done literally thousands of storm calls and have only twice needed a winch in 22 years we have highway guys with 30 31 that attend some but if its a proper job they call the tree team and if the description is big or dangerous then call out guys just ring us just hope tomorrow is not too bad as on call again I do agree there is a need for something like this though lantra dont seem to be offering training for it yet:blushing:

skiing on snow sounds better:thumbup: skitrain is back on this year

why is it a joke alex?

wow i am impressed:thumbup:

sorry justin can,t find anything new

been a lovely day here nearly cancelled job but glad i didnt

nice one did it all go to plan

but you dont have to have cs 32 for this unit or 34 or ua1 as there all covered

read it and see you can still get both its not one i have digested yet

agree there are some pointless threads and replies

not sure what you mean you had to have all 30 to do 31 previously

gives better directional fell ie harder for hinge to break off and it goes off line hope that helps well thats my understanding anyway:thumbup: and similar to our split level cut but using a wedge saves tree leaning back and cutting wedge ect

think i am on number 6 tbh:thumbdown:

have you seen HAV exposure limits on the newish stihl handheld blower BG86 you can use it 24hrs per day so would suggest you look at one even my 13yr old son and his mate gave up using the other guys bg85 and only used mine and they don,t even know what HAVs is
