Trouble is that alot of people think they are really,really good at this job and they just arn't. So many young climbers with a few years contracting experiance seem to think they are the dogs danglies,perhaps in their little corner of England they are.Nothing substitutes experiance and I can only pay staff a portion of what they make me.There is not point having guys on the books if you are only covering their wages.

I had a bloke tell me recently that he gets £30 per hour climbing in the Home Counties. Thats what you should be on,cos he is.

If you can take down large trees in short time frames,then you are the man for the job. Only you know if you can or can't.

Nothing like the feeling of warmth from an open fire on your bum cheeks.

Put a new set of blades in it as in brand new and replace or flip the Anvil.It comes out the side and you just turn it over and re-install it.Both sides might be worn in which case a new one is must to ensure you set the gap up accuratly. The Pillar Bearing on the Engine end of the Rotor shaft can be moved out wards to create the Gap you need,just loosen the retaining bolts on the bearing shelf slightly and move the pillar with a Bar.The bolt holes are slotted to help you achive the lateral movement. Its really important to gap it with new blades as they are longer than a set that has even been sharpened once. I gap mine with about 1mm at the shaft end and 2mm at the other end of the Blade.

Most of the key problems with staff is a result of poor parenting and having the kids grow up in a nanny state.The ex Military guys and some of the folks who have grown up in a disciplined hard working household are in my experience the best candidates to train. One other thing,you should if you don't already,teach the Students how to right a CV.Also how to communicate clearly and politely with any prospective employers over the phone or via Email.You can be the best Climber on Gods Earth,but if you come over like a Dunce,your not going to get a look in.

Experience is not every thing,however there is no substitute for it. Most of every operation I do at production speed is outside of "best practice" as that principle is designed to be within the capabilities of the newest operator. Most students should pull brush,advancement in a crew is a privilege not a right.Getting stuck in and proving you are worthy of investment starts with applying ones self to any job and quickly completing it to your best ability. Just because Students are on a course to learn how to climb,does not mean that they have a right to do so on someone elses job during work experiance.

Very Good points. The tutor's on the Courses should all have at least ten years experience on the Tools.I have heard that some of the assistants on some courses were actually last years Students. There are some very good young people out there on the courses,however the gaps in knowledge of the graduates in staggering. I believe that in order to gain a ticket you should have demonstrate the operation in a production situation at a productive speed. Not enough time is spent on the basic's so it seems.

Very basic things like : How to Sharpen a Chainsaw correctly. Focus on the job and not on the Smart Phone. Accountability for Tools and respect for them. An understanding that the more you can do with less kit,the better you actually are. Some of the new Climbers I have had work for me,had more climbing gear than three people need and a desire to wear most of it all the time. Generally I think the entry requirements need to be tougher in the training establishments.With more of an emphasis on what employers desire in general employee character rather than tickets or knowledge of Fungus that are not in use daily.

Except that all the OM352A and OM366LA Engines had oil jets mounted in the Block to direct Oil onto the Crank Journals to cope with the increased stress placed on the bottom end. They are there for a reason.

Pushed the Chipper into a tight job instead of pulling it.The Chip was staying on site

"Ding Ding" A DART team member will hand out forms on which to write descriptions of all People spotted on this trip not picking up their Dog Poo. Together we can make a difference.

All aboard the "Outrage Bus" Surely you guys have better things to do with your lives than look at pictures of Chainsaws on the Internet? Please remove your Anoraks before boarding the Bus. A DART Team member will be along shortly to collect your tickets

Position still vacant.

Try it.Your not winching massive weights,a Igland only runs a Boot lace for a Winch Rope.If its pants,then buy some propper stuff from Cookes in Timaru.

I had one.Got the head planed and fitted a Webber Carb and a set of extractors.It went alot better.They were very popular with Hunters back home. I had a set of BFG Mud Terrains on it eventually.I used to get the front guards packed with Mud and have to use a folding shovel to clear them out.

Been using my MK1 daily on SRT for two years now.No problems.

The Merc 711D and 811D are just about perfect for most tree work. 6 Man Cab and a very reliable truck. They made a few of them in 4X4 but they arn't common, Here is a 2WD that has done 50K miles for a whopping £2.5K Mercedes-Benz 711 D als Pritsche + Plane in Kremmen

I think the recession saw many of them either repossessed or off loaded due to lack of work or high running costs.This is over all industries not just treework where in Europe Mogs are probably a tiny minority of vehicles used. Quite a few nice ones came out of Greece and Iceland after their respective economic troubles too. Also there are more specialized attachments for Wheel loaders and Rubber tyred diggers,such as mowers,ditchers and much of the stuff that Mogs were used for. I bought my first one from a dealer in Germany who just sold and fixed Mogs,on his lot there must have been 30 of them.Now if you vist his and other once specialized dealers,there are all sorts of Machines for sale. I like Mogs and look often at the Web sites in Germany where they have been slowing reducing the price of them since about 2008.I paid £23K for a minty U1000 and at that time a minty U1600 with all the fruit would have run £35 to £50K depending. People advertise their mogs for un realistic prices and they stay unsold for a long time typically.

Pro's: High degree of off road mobility Ability to power a Chipper/Winch/Crane trailer off one Engine Road presence It is a eye catching vehicle. Con's:Can be hard to find a good one High maintenance cost,if you use the two main dealers in the UK Having to register it as a HGV or 7.5 tonner anyway Low resale value (the bottom has dropped out of the Mog market) High degree of operator competence is needed to get the most out of them off road and even in general working conditions.They are alot more complex to operate than a Truck. Some people swear by them,others will never own one again.If you have your heart set on one,look to Europe or start negotiations at half of the advertised price in the UK.I just bought a U1100 with all the fruit and its only covered 9000 miles in its life for £5K.That was after selling my mint U1000 for £6K,which had only covered 40K and had one owner apart from me.
