    NPTC Award Felling and Processing trees over 380mm ITA!!

    And nobody ever fails ITA courses, that would deflate the massive egos of some instructors!! Lol There are some great instructors/assessors and it's always a shame when the standards are brought into question by inadequate training or an unprofessional conduct! many of us give 110% to develop the very best trainees some of which will never have the required aptitude.

    the history of the two awarding bodies my explain:- Lantra originally ATB (agricultural training board) typically trained farmers!! NPTC originally FASTCo (forestry and aboriculture training council) typically trained foresters and those wanting industry relevant training!!! Hence why many companies still want NPTC Both organisations have there pros and cons, good and bad instructors/assessor!! just look for an instructor who can deliver value for money a good variation of trees and who goes out of their way to taylor the course to suit you, and not the awarding bodies!! a week is not long to gain and absorb as much experience as possible:thumbup:

    Too many variables to blame one cause but adding a tight grip will certainly not help. White finger is only one element of HAVS more people will suffer from tendon/ muscular deteriation or carpel tunnel from poor ergonomics.

    Far too much vibration and still feels cheap in comparison to the husqy, does come with a sugi bar though!!

    Dan most tirfor style winches although indicate 1600kg (lift) are rated to 2400kg (pull) so a minimum of 3000kg strops required no need to go any bigger provided you can basket hitch the 3000kg strop (ie 6000kg) when doing a re- direct or return. However as you say 4000kg would be fine

    You'll be provided with winching equipment and if not your welcome to borrow mine:001_smile: What's more important is that you get some good size trees to work on there's seems to be real shortage of good medium/large trees to train on at the moment so check that suitable trees are available. there's a lot of training undertaken on substandard trees!!

    It's probably only worth a grand! Otherwise buy a farmers and get the warranty and customer service. Which I have to say is superb

    Looking a bit ropey!! but you've got to be up early to have mornings like this one

    Use a fencing maul rather than a sledge hammer and mushrooming on both plastic and wooden wedges will be greatly reduced:thumbup1:

    The NHS is scint, kids are livining in poverty. May be the urban wolf is the way to go we could feed them, the old, infirm an those on the poverty line! Save the NHS a fortune! A new conservation group will need to be formed with charity status 2 full time employees and 150 undergraduates and retired school teachers furiously volunteering, and statistically they would reduce unemployment numbers. All sounds good to me:thumbup:

    I should go to bed but the sweet nectar of alcohol tainted apple juice is still flowing:thumbup:

    Never enough chip space in a Landry but that's a compromise you will have to make if you want to run one! Hodge, does your tool box run down just one side? How does it affect load and handling. I ask as looking at different storage solutions for my next landy. My 110 tipper will be for sale new year:thumbup:
