    Nothing a bit of photoshop won't sort out.

    Nice fell.

    If your going to have someone working for you then you'll need Employers Liabilty. You'll want acident cover because if you hurt yourself working for your self at the weekends and you can't do your full time job, you may have to look for a new one.

    CS32 is very different to CS31. Not just are the trees bigger but you need to be a lot more confident in your cuts, positioning and just general use of a saw. You have to use a winch to get the trees down if you hang them up and in some cases role the timber on the floor. Oh and a medium tree dogs tooth is fun. As for large tree felling it may be comming back. Check out the NPTC website for info and the FCA. Not sure if specialist felling is going away or it will become CS49 or something again if 33 come back. I learnt all my large tree cuts on my CS32 anyway. Most of the time you will get a big saw out for the big trees anyway.

    Steve Bullmans trailer does look great. If i could afford it and had somewhere to put it where it wouldn't get nicked i'd have it. We've got a TT85 at work and its taken some abuse and it's still going strong. Looking at the price list for Atlas trailers and there reputation when it comes time to replace it it would be an atlas.

    Without seeing the tree it would be difficult to say. More than likely yes but sometimes its safer to take it as two. I might of ripped the rotten union down to a better hight for felling.

    Nice pics. Going to put a mulching flail in to tidy up or pile the brash with the grab and have a good old fire. Depends on the tree. if they're leaning away from eachother it can be best to treat as two trees. some occasions its best to take them all as one. Don't have any pics the 28" triple stem sycamore i did a year or so back but that i did all as one. All depends how joined they are. I've also put ropes up in both stems and pulled them over 90 degrees to lean.

    I use the Husky Harness what was the Trio Balance one. Fantastic can work all day in it with the 345rx or the FS450 which ever i'm using. I do how ever prefer the FX version of the 345 with the shorter shaft stops over reaching and thus lower back pain.

    Wont be the tractor that made the mess be the horse. Well if its anything like my stables.

    Yep been felling Larch all day. Despite a tractor tyre malfunction early in the day.

    Saw one of those working on the railways round here. Looks like a beast and it seem to going for a steal.

    I think a mix of them both. College can get you upto speed on H&S (where working can show you how to apply that in the real world) College can teach tree ID, Biology, legal stuff and be a good footing for when your body is nackered and you need an office job:001_tongue: As for the practical stuff get out on site and learn form the old hands. You have the theory from college and you can see how its implmented in the real world. Lots of things in this industry are down to experence. You can do CS 31/32 and start working the next day but it doesn't mean you can fell any tree you see. Get a few years under your belt and see some pros working and you will be able to.

    That would be list price be a discount on that retail.

    Hey Charlie I've got a lorry load or two to shift roadside in the next few days in herts/bucks so not a million miles from essex. £35 tonne is what i'm looking at at the moment. Andy

    Selling the tops for xmas trees is a top idea. Missed out this year as i felled Norway in Jan. If you can do 3.75m lengths to 8" top you can get ~30 ish a tonne for saw logs. To 6" top 2.5m lengths so 18-25 quid for fencing. About 8 quid a tonne for chip. That was in September i was getting that. Just in the process of selling a load of blown norway in 3m lengths which is going 20 quid a tonne for firewood. Selling for biomas will always be poor money but it is the easiet way to get rid of wood. If it's big Rohdy you can sell for firewood/biomass too.

    Nice love the coronet cuts. Fairplay for going up in todays wind. Been dealing with all the windblow we've had down here. Then some nice felling partial blown which was a pita.

    Its a good little chipper for domestic work. I had a few problems with the engine and battery but i had fantastic service from green plant all done under warenty.
  18. Brushcutter
    I want to see beech tree felling!
  19. Brushcutter
    Nice little chipper. You must keep the blades sharp or you knacker the flywheel bearings. Chipped lots of conifer with it, works well just don't treat it like you would a diesel chipper. Had a few problems with the honda engine. problems with fuel and a bit of only one cylinder working. Other than that its a great starter chipper. Although you could get a s/h 6" diesel chipper for the same money.

    Just watched some vids of the 090av on you tube. It doesn't seem to vibrate along the floor so maybe its not as bad i thought.
  21. Brushcutter
    Without seeing some pics of the site it would be hard to say. Have you cut some extraction racks in? I use 1 in 5. You short wooding in the wood to 4m or skidding out the poles and processing on a landing if its a steep site?
  22. Brushcutter
    Looks nice. Bet that is HAVtastic.

    When i wanted to do a CS33 i was told if i had a tree to be assessed on phone them up and they would come to me. Obviously you pay all the NPTC regestration fees and thing. When i did NPTC tractor and FMO 1.3 and 3.4-6 they came to my site and trained and assessed us all on our own kit. It was organised through a company though but we provided the kit and venue.
  24. Brushcutter
    Fantastic!

    All good processor size firewood. Best way to do it is to work out what it will cost you to put it roadside. Then put a bit of profit on it. Hardwood seem to be going for 30-40 quid a tonne roadside round here.
