    I agree with Mr Ed - TW250 Appearances are deceptive though on hours I would guess around 280 - 300 hours - I believe you look after your chipper!

    Tim - Welcome! The Level 2 cert arb is a very good place to start. I would also consolidate your current practical experience by completing the CS30 NPTC Ticket and maybe the CS38 if you can afford to do both at present (with a little one on the horizon)?? This will mean that you can support a climber and do the ground work. Your rock climbing experience will also stand you in good stead if you go for the CS38 Ticket. I hope this is of help!

    I like the twist idea - towards the nose sprocket to create a really sharp cutter - Nice one VL I'll give it a try!

    Ianuk - There is a book available by English Nature that is called ' Veteran Trees : A guide to good management' : this will show examples of, and explain the methodology around coronet cuts, and the reasons why. I hope that this is of help to you.

    I've got a set of Binatone Terrain 550's - 8km range - and yes I have tested them 'and this range is accurate' even in amongst the big stuff in forests

    I use 15" .325 or 18" .325 - cuts like a dream and less drag as Bob said!

    When you are filing remember to put the chain-brake on - it will give you the stability to create a great edge to each cutter.

    I asked a number to quote for my needs and Trust were the cheapest and the most efficient - with no height limits, and free professional indemnity insurance up to £500k (as long as you didnt charge for consultancy)

    I always wear full PPE. PPE is the last line of defence IMO - Personally I'd rather be hot than injured!
