This is going to prove touchy,I have employed two female climbers so far this year.Neither have worked out for me,as they both were preoccupied with the idea of staying in the tree all day and not doing their share of ground work.I understand that generally a female is not as strong as a male and don't encourage anyone to lift excessive weights or use saws that are bigger than needed whilst aloft.However we do far more felling than pruning so using a 066 to block down with is common,I bought an 046 for the second climber but with a 3 foot bar it was still to much for her to handle,a three foot bar on the 036 would kill it so the 046 it was.I don't have enough pruning or small fells to dedicate one climber to,nor would it be fair to be sexist when advertising for another climber.

Timber hitch,its not let me down either.

i only charge 100 a day but only use my own ropes,

i use the other companies chippers, saws, petrol etc....

100 quid a day,fair dues I don't know what the going rate is in your area,but I took 150per day cash five years ago in London,four days a week.Job and knock,me,climbing gear and 020.You might want to bump your price a up a wee bit.

"I'd knock boots with her"

"just give it some slack,it'll run"

Buzz:I'll give you a shout in a couple of days,thanks for the offer of advice.

Imo there not much use for anything. (and yes, I have owned them)

What problems did you have with them Ed?I'm trying to find out as much about them as possible as at this stage I have heard more negitive reports than positive ones

Hello,I'm thinking about buying a unimog with an attached pto driven chipper.Reason is I work in area's of tight acess and have had 11 years or reversing chippers.Tell me please any pit falls or experiances you've all had

Yes!Two very good mates who climb both married nurse's,my girlfreind is a nurse and the one before her was as well.

Could just be the uniform and "intensive care" to though:)
