true, but if you are tied in any higher than 70 foot then 45m isn't enough...and if you have dropped from a branch or through a fork then you can still run out of line. I always have one in mine.

What about this part then? Movement of waste etc Movement of agricultural, horticultural or forestry waste, within and between different parts of land occupied by the same person. The waste should have been produced by the occupier of the land. Transport of agricultural, horticultural or forestry waste from the place where the waste was produced to a place where it is to be collected by a licensed waste carrier (or to a licensed waste disposal site if nearer). This includes inorganic waste such as plastic packaging. Clearing the road after agricultural, horticultural or forestry operations. Snow clearing to restore access. top ^

not the way I read it, a contract verge cutter is allowed to run on red and work for many different farms, as is contract combine, sprayer etc.

unless it was from a farm, estate or roadside job...

interesting Mat, I am currently working on an LA contract, some trees roadside some not. This is where it all goes a bit wooly, you can't have 2 tanks, and even if I filled up with white when I was working in parks or cemeteries I'd still have some leftover red in the tank, so if i got pulled over what happens then? I simply explain that the red is leftover from yesterday when I was working roadside...... I doubt I'd get the benefit of the doubt.

Lets be honest though Justin, 10% returns isn't great.... How does that ratio compare to some of the older style stihl saws such as the 460 of 660? I think it is important that the manufacturers get a clear message from the industry that this sort of thing isn't acceptable, with only still and husky offering a decent range of prof saws and a good dealer network its important that they are up to scratch. I fell out of love with my 357 because it had 3 carbs in 4 years, but that performance is good when compared with the 201 and 560....

any thoughts on this then?

That wouldn't happen these days rab as the voucher would be a smart card. They'd get it charged up when they signed on. TD Tree & Land Services Ltd.

So true, if we could save the billions we spend supporting the lazy, we wouldn't be in the mess we are. I think the solution is to keep benefits the same but pay them in vouchers that can only be spent on food and essentials, NOT take aways, fags, booze, and sky tv. TD Tree & Land Services Ltd.

It wasn't there, I had to edit it:lol:

:sneaky2:there is...

Check this link out, although not quite as helpful as it could be, its more info than I had seen previously. Still seems that if using red for a domestic tree job you could be falling foul of the law... Estate work..ok Roadside work..ok Site clearance work...??? LA work (not roadside)...??? Domestic work...doubtful Whats your interpretation? Pay attention to section 8 and in particular 8.21 The section at the end is worth a look too "Memorandum of Agreement in respect of the use of agricultural vehicles on the road" http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageVAT_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000164&propertyType=document#P33_1423

Tom D replied to Matthew Arnold's topic in The Lounge
certainly blowing hard here now... all the leaves are off the trees and we have already had a couple of good storms her this year, there will probably not be much left to blow down. -

I remember phoning the job centre about 6 years ago when I was hiring, there was a scheme available, but i can't remember the name of it, problem was you could only take people who had been out of work for 6 months or longer. This means you get loads of applicants none of whom actually want a job, most wanted a written reply, I had asked for people to phone... so they all rang asked for a reply so they could use it to continue to claim dole. There were 2 who actually agreed to turn up to my "interview" day, basically a days work to see how it went, one was the thickest guy I have ever met, barring those with special needs, the other phoned at 10.00 to say he didn't have enough money for the bus.... Total waste of time...

I got one and it works fine, very well in fact. Thanks for the help... TD Tree & Land Services Ltd.

That's a fine set of buggers grips you've got there Stevie. TD Tree & Land Services Ltd.

They probably don't make them anymore Stevie as they all have to be bunded now, plus being electric there is no need to elevate the tank and therefore no room underneath.

I got a 100 mile round trip to do on monday in the valtra, I' suppose I'll have to pull over a couple of times.

Do you think Wills left a deposit in the library loo?

This is an oldie! Still, might as well post now I'm here. I think there are 3 stages to being a climber, 1, you don't trust your gear. 2, you trust your gear and start climbing mainly on your ropes. 3, you climb the tree and your ropes are just a backup.

Sorry to hear that mate, RIP.

was a willow that did it to me too.

The name, website and phone no's are worth a bit if you do a lot of domestic work, It takes a while to get established and get your name out there. I'd value my name etc at about 30k as I have now got a good client base and have not done any advertising this year yet been very busy. Its a hard thing to value though, at least you are part of the setup already, I'd be loathed to spend that kind of cash on a setup I didn't know.

I have had it happen to me before, not a big bit though and I don't have my strop on my side d's anyway, its on one of my vids but I can't remember which. One thing that you can do is choose where to fell your top... A splits most likely to occur on a clean grained piece of timber (think how easy logs like that are to split with an axe) if you fell your top just above a stub or branch the "cone" of branch wood that extends into the main stem helps to hold it together. Obviously you can't always find a suitable stub but often there will be something. On conifers like spruce I will often remove one whorl of branches, and then fell just above the whorl.
