AWESOME RIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a couple of jobs that I have priced which that set up would be perfect for!! If I win them I will probably get Alex Price's big chipper in on hire.

I could be wrong, but I believe there has never been a successful prosecution of infringement off a TPO by a third party, IE neighbour cutting of over hanging branches.

One word............................... UNIMOG!!!!!!!!!!!

Yours is physically bigger, wider and longer, but the same engine, 245HP:001_tongue:

It won't even Begin to fix any thing near the carbon produced moving the road etc. -
You wish Mine has the same power as yours, its narrower, shorter, and has 4wheel steering, so will go any where a transit will and many places a transit won't:001_tongue: Please don't feel too inferior!! One thing your dad IS bigger than mine!!

I wounder if there is a correlation between owning a mog and not feeling the need for a rescue climber??
-
Maybe they where rushing, to try and make enough to cover the cost of a rescue climber??

Ok, what if you've all finished work and set off home. One guy lives in a rural location, on the drive home a dear jumps out causing him to swerve down a ditch, he is knocked unconscious. Who is going to save him?? Why is this acceptable??
-
I take it you never, Use an 020 one handed, except when at the very outside edge of the crown, reaching away from your body? Use your saw above shoulder hight? Over load any axle of your truck? Do more than 70mph on the Mway, 60mph when towing?

Chippers aren't as dangerous as some try to make out, we had a sticky glove go through the other day, it was a bit torn and battered but still in one piece.

Don't let that stop you!! It doesn't stop me
-
Would you not of been better without a second anchor?? I suppose thats just another rule I often ignore when I feel is safer to do it my way.
-
No you misunderstand me. Maybe I'm crap, because I just work in such a way that does not put my life on the line. From what many are posting, if I'm not putting myself at risk I'm not doing it right.
-
Sorry Tony, but that argument really gets my goat, all my family are self employed and hard working, we pay our own way. My dad is 66 and still working, he started work at 15 and has never had a penny in benefits. I see fat slobs in the 30s who have never worked and are ridding round on scooter (because they are lazy, greedy slobs, not because of real illness) that my taxes have paid for!!!!!
-
Thanks Mate!! that brought a tear too my eye!! I would do they same for you!!!
-
SPOT ON!!!!!!!!!!! Some of the guys on here must have way bigger balls than me!!! If I like them thought I would EVER get myself into a position where I would need rescuing, I would not get a rescue climber, I would QUIT!!!!!!!!!!! Every accident I have read about or heard of I have thought WHY on earth did they do that????? I read of a near miss where the guy was pulling the top out and his anchor point nearly went with it!!! WTF!!!! I just don't work like that!!
-
UTTER BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where can't you smoke???????????? WORK!! Kids are like employees, so they are protected by law. The HSE is only about work. I could go out on my roof now without any protection, and NO ONE could stop me, however if I was doing it as a PAID job, I could be stopped. The HSE first came about to protect down trodden workers from unscrupulous employees, who would make them work in unsafe conditions, and quite right too!!! My brother and father are both joiners, they share a work shop, much of their equipment does not meet the ridiculous legislation that stops the tool in a fraction of a second ( and shortens the tools life) when they were inspected, they informed the HSE that they both co owned the equipment, so were both owner operators so there was no problem. An EMPLOYEE could not use them.
-
Tony, with all due respect, this is utter RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!! If that the purpose of the HSE WHY does it only apply to work?? Lets carry your argument on, WHY are people allowed to smoke??, be fat??, drive??, take part in dangerous sport?? The whole purpose of the HSE is to protect employees and the public.

:sneaky2:Who rattled your cage?

That would be on top of my standard groundies wage:001_smile:
-
:ohmy:NOT £10K A YEAR!!! I hope.
-
:001_smile:Pleased to say I have neither:001_cool: To be honest I feel doing all the climbing is what keeps me fit!!

-
If I had been employing a proper rescue climber, not a groundie with a ticket, for the last 13 years, if would have cost me in the region of £135K!!! for something that was never needed!! Thats out of my profit not turnover. I'm guessing I would not have my mog or crane.
