    Thanks for the great advice. very good replys. I am going to change my quotations the be more legal. instead of price for whole job i will charge price for felling,seperate price for removal and price if they want all the timber cut up. It turned out ok and i got the keep the timber ( oak ) and i have spent most of saturday milling it up. going to make a coffee table. though i did have couple of neighbours wander onto site with wheel barows and help themselfs the out split firewood.

    lets say that you give costumer written quote to fell oak tree and remove all derbis from site. You quote the job low so you can get it because you think it will be nice bit of timber to mill and some good firewood out of it. You finnish loading up firewood and milling timber ...and the costumer decides they would like to keep the milled timber. Who owns the timber? I personally think by given a quote for ' Removal of tree and debris from site ' means that as soon as tree is down and on back of my van...i now own the timber i have milled. but if the insist on keeping the milled timber .. they can have all the rest of it including the chips ( tipped on driveway ofcourse ) Any thoughts on this?

    I think tree motion / petzl etc are designed for small nimble dudes. \ If yopu are over 13 stone i would suggest going for skylotec or something similar. also the hanging 066 from tree motion is shite! it almost pulls the harness of ya.

    i pm him on ebay. says he will take 7,500 for buying it now. great deal! Seems like a guy selling his kit due to health reasons. anyone tried to google the company name and call the bloke to see if its for real. everyone jumps to conclusions here.

    just read all post on this thread lol. 40 a day for groundie is about right if you have no tickets and exp. 50 a day on casual basis is fine. beginners who want to earn top dollar - you need exp, tickets , the gear...and Many tree removals etc under your belt. emloyers - will make 500 a day after expensies...and bitch about giving the groundie who has worked his balls off an extra tenner for his effort. lol Doing good business is one thing...but chasing money so much that you lose sight of whats important ( e.g your workers, family etc )..and become a slave driving tight wad is something a lot of employers need to change.

    treemotion. treemotion. treemotion. Its designed to sit llow..so you use your lower back muscles instead of letting them get lazy and week. I had back problems from other harnesses..then got a tree motion ..now my back is fine. though i would recommend doing some lower back exercises to help.

    looks like good little saw. how much?
  9. Czlowiek Drzewo

    reduction of canopy.

    free hand is best. much faster. Maybe twice as fast as using guides etc. If i used guides to get my chain perfect then hit a nail..i would be far more pissed off due to the time taken to sharpen. Though if you have time back at yard..using guides may be better.
  12. Czlowiek Drzewo
    yeah but they do look good for sawdust flying towards face.?

    mesh goggles... maybe these would do. http://www.tommycarruthers.com/showitem.php?itemid=22

    You are right. a tenner a day is 200 a month. + fags is just under 300 a month on shite. I don't always make lunch night before as i am not big eater through the day..but its something i need to change. flask and rolls are way to go. i think younger generation inc myself have had life a lot easier so take money and luxury things for granted..and this passes onto rest of life...inc not making lunch for the next day.

    pay up and get the proper training. watching someone felling a tree / cross cutting / snedding out looks easy..but theres much more to it than it seems.
  16. Czlowiek Drzewo
    Its a Eucalyptus Tree. I would just cut it down and re-plant. If you are landscaper and don't have you nptc units or ppe you could just use a silky ( hand saw )for that tree as its skinny.

    oh yeah. ask proffessional atheletes. thats why they mix the training up from month to month. if you wanted to get strong at bench press..would you do it everyday..or once a week for a couple months then take time of and go back to it? strength gains are made when the body forgets its limits. Weakness develops when the body is over trained in the same way over long peroid of time..add no stretching to that and you are asking for injuries. so using a hand saw day in and day it out with no stretching..over time you are likely to get problems with wrist. :001_smile:
  21. Czlowiek Drzewo
    Yip. I have had same prob. I am sure mostm other tree workers have had some form of tendonitis also. Heres the reason. - repetitive strain through handsaw / ropes / chainsaw use. doing the same thing day in day out your muscles will actually get weaker..best thing to do is buy some grippers / do some stength work on area you are getting tendonitis ( but not to much or don't push it hard ) also stretching the area affected lighty ( yes even the wrist ) will help recovery. ( look up PNF stretching ) physio's use this type of stretching the help atheletes get more flexable and stronger in injured are at same time. also cut down on the bishop bashing

    chainbrake me be stronger..but i bought mine from new and the chainbrake still doesn't go on after the saw has been used for 10 mins. also the handle with throttle at bottom seems to have a problem. I would go for husky next time.
  23. Czlowiek Drzewo
    I know. i should have! But was waiting for many payments from costumers.
  24. Czlowiek Drzewo
