    rob, like i said its best to try all sorts of harnesses as what is comfy for one person just annoys the living daylights out of another. if you go for a harness for beginners i think the universal choice are the willans harnesses either full body or sit and go from there. after using a willans you appreciate all other harnesses.

    no worries mate

    have a word with your instructors/lecturers as they will point you in the general direction. Try as many different harnesses as possible and saws etc until you find the ones that you feel right with. And all the best with your course:thumbup1: 026 and 260 are basically the same saw mate.

    i think he said they were all running on 404 chain when he was running through them all so that removes one variable.

    one of the firms round our way was started by the bloke who owns it when he was a copper and he just did it on his off days and then went full time arb. He now has four or five wagons on the road and had just geared up for site clearances when the bottom fell out of the house building market.

    yeah, i know what you mean jon; i've had it happen to me, was not impressed when i got an earful from customer next time i went. I've heard lots of good things about aspect services and seen their stand at GYS (always impressive, but when you've got a mog, mewp and fully kitted landy on the stand what isn't there to be impressed by?)

    i suppose they'd be alright for railtrack work but i'm afraid they'd clash with anything else:001_tt2:

    i think i know who you mean ian.

    i know i am one of your local competitors jon but one thing i have noticed is that round our way the tree firms don't really help each other out whereas over harrogate way they help each other out or pass jobs on to each other. I just wondered if you have any thoughts as to why our area isn't like this as there is definitely plenty of work to go round with plenty left over although i think some firms would like to have all the tree work. If you're ever stacked out and get any small hedge jobs or small tree jobs give me a pm mate and i'll gladly help you out of the proverbial.
