Use a Bandit 150 which can take up to 12" of wood, variable feed speeds, double clutch and very little down time. Tows behind the truck and I can reverse it in to just about anywhere. Used a Bandit 65 which I didn't like because it only had 1 feed wheel instesd of 2 like the 150 and this made the wood kick up a lot easier.

Been working in the countryside, sawmills country parks and farms since then. I have the enthusasim for the job and I don't know when I will give up. I get paid to climb trees!!!

Got talking to someone in the pub and then I mentioned it a work and they were like "yeah I know about that". I am relativly new in the job so I am 'still learning' but everyday is a schoolday. I am hopeing to use the Forum as a learning aid as well especially when I will be sitting ariel resuce assesment, which will be soon. I may not be able to contribute much but I will certainly be using the Forum.

Being a groundie I check the bottom of trees for nails and I put red/white tape on the nail so everybody can see it. Saws stay sharp
