    Yes, excellent to hear the guy got fines/costs totalling £140000, not only has been made to suffer financially but he's made a complete ass of himself and will forever be known as the clown who felled his neighbour's tree and got a massive fine.

    Definition of idiot (arboriculture) someone who has no inherent ability for working with chainsaws, ropes, knots, handsaws, winches, climbing equipment, machinery etc. Someone who is naturally a terrible judge of forces, distances, weights and angles. A person generally lacking in foresight in relation to matters of treework. Maybe a guide is a good thing, a little bit of guidance could work but what's next? an NPTC unit in handsaw use? I can already see the training providers drawing up training courses as we speak. .

    I'd pay £80 seeing as you've got to cover your air travel, accomodation and food. If Justin gets another 19 people that's £1600.00, hows that? need more?

    Donny, only reason I said nothing is cause it's gonna cost me around £200+ to get to London from Glasgow plus hotel etc Maybe Jonesie does scholarships for Scottish people? Well Justin?

    what about driving about in that vintage mog?

    if you need help or guidance on using a Silky or any type of handsaw then get out of treework. Only cackhanded clowns continually cut or knick themselves with handsaws, seriously? is this thread a joke? Part of the problem with treework today is that it's attracted a lot of idiots who should've never been encouraged to get into treework, idiots need constant guidance. Jaime, if you want to improve safety in the industry ban idiots.

    from your 1st pic - looks like NMNP or NMHP, no CE marking or ratings anyway. Looks like cheap rubbish unless someone else here can shine a light on the brand? Ask him where he got it from?

    Thanks for posting Tommy that Maillon looks like a pile of junk, as in junk quality, like something you'd buy from Pet R US to attach a to a dog lead any CE markings? any brand name or anything other than that 8mm? From the pics it's not a genuine 'Made in France' Maillon Rapide, I'd only use genuine Maillon Rapide for quick links, maybe Petzl do a version? other than that I wouldn't touch anything else. Remember though Maillon Rapide makes different versions from different materials for different applications. To me it looks like he could've just used a regular oval Petzl triact biner to attach to the Grillon, even added in a swivel in there somewhere between them to negate the twisting.

    woodmouse, in your first post on Arbtalk you said this: yet you think you can start and run a successful tree care business? For talkin's sake, let's liken the tree care industry to an ocean - a trainee arborist/tree surgeon whose been in the job about 2 years is sitting in a small boat on top of this vast ocean, all he can see is the surface, that's all he's learned about in the short time he's been doing treework, but there's a whole world beneath him he has still to learn about. At this moment your about 10 miles inland. If you want really want to be a success in this game, give the industry the respect it deserves and go out and get some experience before you think of starting a business, this experience will help make your business a success.

    seriously? surely not. interesting figures on the comparison chart in the brochure - http://www.echo-usa.com/CS-355T/CS355T-brochure oil/petrol caps on a same side though could be a half decent cheap saw though for anyone bored or annoyed waiting for Husky's T540 and doesn't want to part with their cash for the MS201t.

    are the vents as large as the petzl helmets?
  18. scotspine1
    hey pfanner, if you see this thread, vents..............
  19. scotspine1
    vents......totally agree Drew, no big vents like the vented ecrin roc or vertex, as someone's already said, the vents on the Vertex can be set open or closed depending on the weather, this a basic principle for helmets required by folk working in rigorous outdoor work, especially climbers. I suspect if they dont sort that issue out it wont sell, and if people buy it, they be cursing the heat created by the lack of vents.

    Could you please ask Pfanner to invest millions into why the crotch always rips on their Stretchair chainsaw trousers, particularly the Type Cs?
