I was thinking similar the other day, as much for yard work as site duties but I agree with what your saying, size could be a problem unless something like a 1cx on some jobs. Anyone had a timber grab fitted to a back actor to see how well it works on a bit bigger model like a 3cx

That's true but then that's another whole issue about how the public perceive this industry against a plumber and how the rates the public is willing to pay for each trades work against the cost of doing it. Also the industry itself undervaluing itself with undercutting and some firms both big, small and unqualified working for cost. Admittantly some companies are like the picture above with the boss taking all the cream and not putting back into the business and its staff

Ever heard of cpd, unfortunately having the tickets is only half of it keeping them up to date and further units is the reality and the way I see it its only going to get worse with refreshing tickets especially if your in the local authority or commercial contracting sector.

Thing you got to remember is that's about 4.5k a year different, on top of that what training do you need to work in a supermarket stacking shelves.... Definitely not a few grands wert every year and over £500 a year in ppe clothing and probably the same in climbing kit. So the difference in employing a arborist to a shelf stacker would be around 7.5 thousand decide that by 232 working days is £32 a day which makes a £6 hr difference to the employer Back of a beermat calculation I know and normally don't get involved in these wage conversions but just thought it worth throwing this into the mix.

That's how we carried it in the forst till it started to bite into the hopper mettle

Quite simple really. Made a checker plate cover for the aframe and used existing holes to bolt it on then secured to bolts through that which the trolly wedges up against and welded some scrap together to make the green T piece which clamps the trolly down with wing nuts to tighten it down.

Client made a little time-lapse of today's reduction, wish I could climb that fast all the time.

Mounted ours on drawbar of the chipper so it rides for free and there when needed, gets used so much more now.

When I was running the st8 the local biomass company were more than happy to take our chip and blend it in with the heizohack chip. -
Nice tractor, unusual to see a crane on a new Holland. Love my battery husky stuff and that hedge cutter is next on the list.

Will be representing our branch of round table tomorrow and laying a wreath in remembrance.

Crack the nut marked red in picture and normally there is a lift pump lever where the blue arrow is, work this till it draws fuel through the filter then shut the nut and crack the injector furthest from the inlet and crank it over in short bursts so as not to overheat the starter till you get fuel through then she should fire up

anyone else vehicle insurance gone up for no reason?
Gray git replied to flatyre's topic in Insurance Forum
Trust were over a grand more for our little grafter van last month than nfu for identical policy's That's any driver over 25 as all our vehicles are, once I have a year on that they say that I can add all 5 vehicles together into a combined fleet policy which should be worth looking at. -
Pads look good, got the alloy geckos and they have kept me being able to bare wearing spikes for last 9 years so be interesting to see how they compare for comfort and support

Don't think I've ever had a random picture pop up and I'm on the app almost exclusively

Never thought about it actually eating into the holiday entitlement.
-
Just seeing what other employers think about this. Had a member of staff take quite a few holidays this year which is fair enough as he wants to spend time with family but this has used up his entitlement leaving non for the Christmas break so realistically will have to have unpaid time off as I really don't want to be sorting work for him over the holidays as he won't really want to be in just splitting logs, to add to this he's just told me he needs 3 days off at the end of this month but understand it'll be unpaid but Carnt understand why I'm pissed off with him. It's going to leave me even shorter staffed than I already am and he's not in earning and getting through the workload. Really just seeing how others handled this sort of thing, is it you have x amount of days and that's it or do you allow unpaid leave on top of this or what?

Looks familiar and hill in background looks like pen y gently but Carnt quite place the building.

Not a massive tree but a very ugly stump to get rid of. Any carvers fancy it?...?
