    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 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.

    they have some great trees at chatsworth both near the house and on the estate and also at their country retreat at bolton abbey near skipton.

    stitch up springs to mind here, he did enventually fess that he didn't know what sort of tree it was and he did have a collins field guide in the cab of the van which if the truth be known not many people have that kicking around their wagon do they? However the H&S of that mob was disgraceful.

    when i did my hedgelaying course the old boy who was teaching had a horsehide mitt made for him by a saddler. It might be worth having a word with your local saddler to make a mitt up from either horse hide or chromed leather.

    penfold replied to jamesw's topic in Arb-Trucks

    that's something you don't really see in this country, seperate vehicles for tools and kit and wood chip.
