  1. Have to say the tr8 sits a little heavy on our 8x4 , only fits on the wrong way , truck copes with it , transit doesn't notice but I think I'll try a 9x4 if there is such a thing , or as the previous post a 10x5 would be ok .
  2. As above , tip for clean chip and logs near Salisbury , once again thanks in advance for any help
  3. Good one H One happy young man , few better feelings than getting your first big tree done . One happy old man , soon be hanging up the thinning slippers then John .
  4. An enthusiastic climber/general operative required to join our team of commercial climbers. This can be a full or part time position paye or subbie basis . It may involve the odd night away (usually good hotels not doss houses and generous overnight pay) The odd early start (again generous allowance) Applicant doesn't have to be Bernd Strasser however needs to be enthusiastic about work . Usual quals required however we can help with lack of these also. Message for more details . [email protected]

  7. Thanks Gary , kind of my thoughts too , seemed overkill for odd plates and a bit of roadside testosterone perhaps on both sides . As for the breakaway I agree as we always have three or four new ones hanging on pegs in the workshop who should have been done before they left .
  8. One of my lads this week was stopped by VOSA on a major road , it took him quite a while to pull over because he didn't have a clue who the orange lights behind him were which infuriated Mr VOSA man . The faults found were the plates didn't match (both company plates) and break away cable missing . Both of them problems could have been sorted before they left the yard which hands up for that . My lad stood his ground with mr angry VOSA man who was saying the trailer was overloaded (1 X kubota 3680 on 3.5 ton plant trailer) and was looking for fault which he did not find . This ended with no endorsements or fines but angry Mr VOSA man saying he was putting a marker on both the plate on the trailer (my old logging truck) and our transit . Can this guy do this and can I expect to be stopped every two minutes or is this harassment ?
  9. Trainer / Second climber to join our team in Wellington Somerset . Excellent opportunity for someone . The odd night away and some early starts and ongoing training . Mail me for more details .

  20. That has to be one of the slickest best value units about , really like the idea of just the name and let the client do the rest . Forst haven't mentioned colour schemes to me yet and have to say black could well be the one for us should we go down that road .
  21. Having done quite a few highway jobs recently my biggest gripe is the lorry drivers shandy . Even saw one that looked like some one had crapped in a bottle (how even do you do that ). Back to post ,just empty van when fueling up surely .
  22. Well this morning everything for the week scheduled nicely , new employee starting and two lads back from leave , couple of phone calls later and it all change and as usual clients want work done yesterday so planning goes out the window . I do agree with earlier posts to keep a day a week spare .
  23. How old are you Nikk? , we have met with a brick wall trying to take on a 16 yr old apprentice . It appears tree surgery and marine engineering is a no go with insurance companies .
