Roger that. He was terrible though.

If the insurance companies are going to start charging newbies more, than I hope they are going to charge me less for not claiming in 15 years. There not cherry picking there clients I hope. I would also like to see the reason why they dont want to insure younger less experienced tree workers. Are there really that many people claiming on their insurance? I dont know any that have. The excess is like £500 so that must surely cover the majority of minor incidents.

Tbh looking at them play, I think, they think, they are in training for the 2012 Olympics badminton team. That or there not very good at their job.
-
I dont tbh. They will just operate without insurance.
-
I assume the groundie wasnt about so the log took the whipping. Anyway nope no handle, sry. Well nothing that would pass as a working handle anyway.
-
Thanks for the info. About time, someone must be doing a bit of R&D
-
Are there any holes/slots in the metal handle to hold a combi spanner?
-
Yeah you aint wrong about the tearing. There is nothing worse I think. Thinking back I have prob pruned more than I think I have but that was slash and hack on line clearance so caring about trees didnt matter much back then, ish. Thanks for the info. I shoulda took more notice but iirc the tree must be a 45 footer with dbh of maybe 24"

Is there any info if pruning an elm may help with infection of DED? I know that sounds like I'm trying to infect an elm but I'm not. Got a decent ish sized one(the only ones I see are shrub/hedge size usually) that may need pruning (phone lines etc) but was thinking if it may create a path for infection I might try and persuade them not to prune it. Any info mucho appreciated. Oh it looks very healthy with no signs of leaf discolouration die back etc.

Ah well there are worse places to get trapped in. I hope it was the beer garden and not the tree. I hope they werent injured. I hope they dont read this.

Shhhhh dont say that out loud mate. If the training NPTC boys see that they will be conjuring up all sorts of new units. CS60-How to deal with customers over the phone.

Good to see you found it:thumbup1: Whats the reason if any for the massive fees in buying it, anyone know? I would think that it should really be free on the net to DL or at a more reasonable price than £86:sneaky2:
-
As long as the saw is still in good nick and it hasn't been running lean and scored the barrel then for about £70 I'd say it's worth replacing.
-
Sounds like you really need a captive audience to make it work. How about the TV's they have in doctor's surgery waiting rooms? Now that could be worth looking into.
-
Aye it is a bin of 90% useless rubbish. I will have a look tomorrow but I doubt it. Dropped out of the tree?
-
http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-health-care/17559-brownheaded-ash-sawfly.html Looks similar to me. Although youve prob also just looked at that thread too.
-
Is it in as good a nick as these? [ATTACH][ATTACH]39713[/ATTACH][/ATTACH] Only jk they are for Mozza, do you reckon theres a saw in there somewhere. IF that 020T from 1996 is in good condition and not all rusty on the inside the cylinder(although carb parts will have probably perished) then it will probably make a nice strong saw.
-
I dont think your crazy, maybe a little bonkers though. Well I'm not that good at maths but go on then, I'll give it a try.
-
Well I have a stump grinder that if you can walk to the stump you can grind it. Plus asking if theres straight access to get a 3 foot wide 10 foot long machine that weighs half a ton isnt too difficult. Besides I only do that if it sounds very straight forward. Its way way way easier imo to have a price structure for a tree stump than a tree.
-
WOW! Must say your are better than me at this job. Well me and the rest of the arb world:001_tongue: I get jobs wrong when I'm standing there looking at them:blushing: The only jobs I will price over the phone are stump jobs (even those not very often)and for that they must get off their arse and get the tape measure out. Even then I tell them if there wrong I will be charging X amount more for every inch they have under measured.
-
I'm not that bad that I have to see a shrink just yet:laugh1: I hope. Narr seriously I have no problem whatsoever in communicating in real life no matter how I come across on here. This type of client doesnt come along very often. Besides I had no problem communicating with him although he wasnt British so his accent wasnt too good! Anyway I waste my time looking at jobs that people dont want to pay for (yes the big problem of being in the YP that everyone moans about) and dont get done so its better off that he cancelled and didnt waste my time any further.

I thought used vegetable oil was carcinogenic? That's why I thought they had to change it often. Might be worth looking into it since there was as thread agreed ago about used engine oil giving foresters cancer. I know used engine is nastier stuff but might be worth bearing in mind.

Just found this while searching for some stats. It was linked from this site. this is why amateurs shouldn't be alowed chainsaws... Could be interesting to see what non arb pro's think of chainsaws although not read any of it so I could be wrong.
