  1. The fact I ordered a 28" bar at 4.15 yesterday after the husky 1 fell apart and it was in my hand at 8am today ready to go back to work again is worth any sensible postage, cheers guy's. Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app

  7. Told them straight at the show I would not go through orange plant for anything to do with my forst as the deal at the time of purchase was no middle men and deal direct and that'll stand till the day I sell it! Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Same Ian, problem I see it as is the company and a carefully selected number of employees or subbies are actually accredited and in a bigger company a new member of staff can come in afterwards with little quality esurance and make a mockery of it all. Way I see it something like the isa certified arborist scheme should get more recognition or be mandatary within the aaac for company's with over a certain number of staff that all staff reach a set standard as its far easier for lack of experience or skills to go unnoticed within a larger company where the owner can be less hands on.

  9. Don't worry, think iv got that these day's Work like a fool for 4 days to earn the money Office, maintainance, pricing 1 day Which leaves the weekends free for kids or wife if she behaves. Work hard while I can so I can slow down and step back on my choosing not because I carnt do it anymore. Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. What thing's, a torch or staff to tidy up while I do like important boss stuff in the dry truck cab [emoji72] Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Not really, just end up cursing about tidying up in the dark . Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Almost exactly the same as what we do now just get more wet and cold and stuck more often. Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Definetly protect the dace against sunburn so a healthy addition only down side I've found with mine is sap off spruce is a pain to remove . A beard us a perfectly natural addition until you require products to maintain or style it then its a fashion excesory Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Wish we had cranes like that in the UK, what a cool looking rig! Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. I can see how that could happen on steep ground very easily but you can turn the tilt off if you want, luckily this site is fairly flat just a bit rough in buts with windblown stumps to avoid Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. This weeks office was big and green and had the fastest crane I've ever used till I reprogrammed the settings down to about 75% The levelling rotating cab definitely makes for a very comftable working environment ! Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Got a beech to do like that next week but no mewp access unfortunately, nic to look at once finished. Sent from my VF-795 using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. You getting out the log game all together Mike or just radicaly downsizing? http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
  19. Busy time has hit this week in full force and it's going to be a shock to the system after a relaxed month or so before just bimberling along taking time and enjoying jobs. At least I'm not having a summer holiday this year to try and work round as saving up for Lapland at Christmas for the kids. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
  20. Thought you'd like this video bud, totally bonkers sky dive without a shute. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
  21. She had a stroke head on but hung on the end of the standard boom not like 1 in video. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
  22. Really, the one I used was awful, didn't help the power slide didn't realy work so you shifted it in n out with the dipper, very little slew power and always overheating the hydraulic system http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
  23. Used 1 of those in the late 90s as a harvester, absolutely horrible machine by modern standards. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
  24. Spotted this strange boom set up on my way home tonight which seems to giv a heck of a reach but then still allow for close in work without a stupidly high boom, bet it'd be good for a small mulcher head on bankings. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
  25. 👆what they said ☝ Had the Velcro bottoms when I 1st got some and by the time I was half way up a tree they had worked loose every time and slipped back under my heal so quite quickly swaped the bottoms over to leather straps. http://www.dryadarb.co.uk
