  1. I think your missing my point. I'm sure there is plenty of legislation to protect registered names etc. But the kind of people who ripoff other firms names don't give a toss about legislation. WHO is going to make them stop using your name??? the police??
  2. :scared1:Did that work???????????
  3. Who would enforce that for you? I think it could well be like wining CCJ, you get a piece of paper saying they MUST pay you, but how do you make them pay?? Only 20% of CCJ get paid.
  4. I hear what your saying, but to be honest for many of us who have been in the industry for a long time or leaned from old timers, the throw bag is the up to date tool, we used to use lumps of metal. I made my first throw weight from a short piece of tube (from an old farm gate) and filled it with molten lead and put a wire loop sticking out to tie the line on. (I made it on site when burning brash) A guy I climbed for had a large bolt from a "D" shackle as a weight. These metal weights worked well, but where inherently dangerous and when I got my first throw bag it was so much safer.
  5. I thought thats what you were saying in the first quote about in response to my question about low loading.
  6. Plus you would not have your rescue climber
  7. I apologize if you feel I been put words in your mouth that was not my intention. In the first quote above I thought you were saying arb is not forestry or hort, when you then went on to say grass cutting justified taking the tractor on the road but not tree work, I assumed that was the same point You are quite right that it matters not what we think, BUT I do not think the law is clear cut and I do think the powers that be should know their stuff when they pull us.
  8. I do hope none of our insurers read this thread!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. I wasn't asking, I said "should" not "is". I think Arb does fall into forestry or hort, its you that dunt. So you think grass cutting falls into hort, but tree cutting don't??
  10. Its a bugger when you can't see what you did wrong:confused1: Do you think boring was a mistake?? would a straight forward back cut have been better in hindsight???
  11. If you are saying that Arb does not fall into forestry or hort, then what grounds did he have to take a tractor on the road and should the tailer not be tested???
  12. Should you have left the hinge thicker on the tension side Dean??
  13. My mog trailer is haulage compliant with ABS and fancy load sensing.
  14. Few posts back John missed a sale, thanks to some muppet not knowing his job:thumbdown: I remember seeing a cop on TV who pulled a motor bike, because it had no lights, the rider told the plod it was a race bike and could be ridden on the road in day light hours. The cop would not believe him and called for an expert cop from down country, took him hours to arrive. He agreed with the rider, by this time it was going dark and the biker had to arrange transport for his bike
  15. So was the tractor and trailer low loaded to site??
  16. I was pulled and my mog was gone over with a fine tooth comb, there were NO faults. They put it on a rolling road and told me it had the brakes they would like to see on an arctic. I maintain my mog regardless of cost, if Alex's Price says it needs something, it get it.
  17. Stevie you must have a good 2 minuets not climbing that.
  18. Our lack of knowledge does does not screw up other peoples lives.
  19. Thats an amusing comment given your avatar.
  20. More like "you'll make money if we start to throw one!":001_rolleyes:
  21. LOL!!!!!!!!!! Its funny because its true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. plum for sure. can't be larch if taken this week.
