    Handy quick guide, thanks for link

    Ow yes, same back at you. you'd love my new flask http://www.stanley-pmi.com/store/stanley/en_US/pd/productID.324177700 I digress, people need to have properly worked in the industry or are still working in it to be really able to do these updates else it's just teaching grandma to suck eggs. More suitable for occasional uses or people who have had a brake from the industry

    Think this is why I'm getting on with getting qualified to train and assess, being experienced enough to deliver a usable update/refresher courses will be in higher demand over the next few years especially since recently iv come across and heard of more trainers who can deliver the expected level of training to satisfy the level to pass the tests but that's about where there level stops also.👎 Not saying all are like that as I know a few who still pull tricks out to blow us away 👍

    Especially since it's next to a busy road!

    Remove deadwood so monitoring of any decline within the crown is easier to see, light retrenchment of about 1 - 2 m on overextended laterals and possibly around 1m off the top but that's still to be decided then remove a ring of around 2 m around the stem, mulch and apply potassium phosphate to hopefully help with reactivate growth against the fungus.

    Drove past a tree we had has a survey done on a few weeks back and found these little beauties starting to show, interesting how they relate to the image.

    It hasn't but some of the big companies have taken it that you need it before working for them, the likes of ground controle, Balfour Beaty, Ringway, even some district councils are starting to ask for it. I can see the point in rescue and 1st aid refreshers but for everything is getting ridiculous.....
  9. Gray git
    I think if you're continued your training and done a higher ticket say large trees or cs50 within the last few years and are continually working within the industry you should be covered without being refreshed by someone who probably won't understand your system of work as it's far more complex than what could ever be taught on a conventional course Trainer I spoke to about doing some rescue and rigging refreshes wanted us back on prussic loops, no macanical climbing aids and definitely not using our x rings and rigging bollards as they were not fermillior with them so was decided it was a total wast of time and money as I'd be teaching them!?!

    Low top speed is the problem as we can cover bigger distances between sites especially working for County council on road jobs, tractor isn't out often but I'd think if it was quicker it's go out more. For what your doing it's absolutely fine.

    Really liking my 399, she's heavy and very stable on bad ground with ballasted tires, plenty of low down grunt off road but just wish it was faster on the road as by the time you get anywhere you've forgotten why you went. And that's the only reason why I'd change it.

    Just wouldn't happen here unfortunately, everything has to be minimal movement from site, as little landfill as possible and not so many tub grinders around, very affective way of doing it like! Especially on construction sites where all the roots will end up being dug out anyway. Drove past a site yesterday that is being developed that was cleared and stumps ground about a month ago, massive pile of roots in the middle from where they have pulled them up when doing the top soil strip before digging founds. Going to cost a fortune to get rid off unless they get a forest mulcher in to run over them but still expensive. That's why I'm always careful to find out what's happening with the ground afterwards before I start so expectations can be managed better - stump grinder...... not total root removal grinder! 😜

    I like it's actually listed as 1man operated. Looks almost mint condition and to the right person it's bound to be worth a bit. Always fancied having a collection of old saws, especially runners so I'd say you done good getting that for 99p

    That I'd like to see, dread to think what the tipping charges would be over here, hell I can't even take grass clippings to my tip now!

    Don't see many 60 toners around here but dragged a few stumps kicking and screaming out the ground with a 25 ton machine, what a mess nd what to do with them afterwards....

    Posted this in the grinder thred but thought I'd pop it on here as well, had this footage knocking around for quite a while now and trying to work through it again to do some promotional videos of our different equipment and services.
  17. Gray git
    Lucky to walk away from that crash (no pun intended) How long were you out for afterwards?
  18. Gray git
    Definitely my favorite, powerful for its size and can get it into some quit tight places just a little thirsty on fuel if it's getting hammered all day.
  19. Gray git
    Thought you might like this video that I've eventually got finished tonight

    Just shy of 200 thaw and most of it towing so she's not doing too bad really.
  21. Gray git
    Ow yes, definitely made a big difference, not had to turn the kenlo on all week even with some very heavy trailers on.
  22. Gray git
    Needed a new radiator in landy as old 1 just wasn't doing it job anymore for some reason
  23. Gray git
    Hope so as been asked to do a few more recently!

    Sort off fell out of love with doing any carving for nearly a year now, don't know why but just didn't fancy doing any till I got volunteered by my wife to do a demo day at a local charity open day, came up with this which has rekindled some of my enthusiasm for doing sculptured furniture again. Hopefully it's going to a community orchard project along with a few simple stools for a outdoor story area.
