  1. i could have done with it today! i liked it before i saw it and i really like it after seeing it for stumps it would be great
  2. ahh, another thing i dont miss about england i refused in the uk on a couple of Council jobs, both with dog shite infested gardens and needles hidden in hedges, rang the boss who fully understood, she informed the council, councils problem
  3. you cant compare a schliesling to a timberwolf, even the well built 190, its like comparing a mercedes benz to a citroen, they both do the same job, but the merc is far far better new in the uk, their price is daft, but 2nd hand, a like for like tw/schliesling the schliesling has to be worth 50% more
  4. nice one i like the bow! the link in youre original post diddnt work for me, hopefully its this . . . [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgd-eLHP1SM]YouTube - redwood felling[/ame]
  5. awesome! whats the tree work like there november onwards???
  6. nothing to contribute, but really interesting david!
  7. nice kit and rigs there bolt, ive noticed on a few of youre posts you seem to be geared to conservation/sensitive sites/wetland-guessing broads - the iorn horse, matt green chipper, chipper with atv floatation tyres. . . what is youre main work??? just being nosey
  8. even better! then theres a discount ofcourse:001_tongue:
  9. just let them all get on with it, if employers only employed skilled people or people with real potential, we would have a skilled industry. you cant blame nptc for muppets working, as a bigger muppet has employed these muppets imo! the companys that do skilled tree work tend to have skilled workers to keep the companys reputation in tact. . .or they have people with potential working with skilled workers. these companys dont put up with muppets. if you want to get into teaching darren, go for it, be the harshest examiner out there!
  10. sure looks interesting!
  11. what a waste of food . . :lol:
  12. funnily enough i was talking to my boss abouth that machine yesterday, weve been looking at a 4x4 bandit, but that costs 30k + over here, those predators are listed on earboristat 16k new look a bargin:thumbup:
  13. i think stevie wants to know about actual companys, the company i worked for in the uk Acacia tree súrgery ltd has been going for close to 30 years now, before that it was called East anglian and metropolitan tree surgery i think, owned by the father, he had 2 boys stuart and paul cole (both now in their 60's), he handed the buisness down to them, they split it and set up 2 rival cambridge based companys. . both still going strong heres a bit lifted off the website Welcome to Acacia Tree Surgery, the leading Cambridge-based company of tree care specialists. Established for over 25 years and covering four family generations to give 100 years experience in arboriculture. to give the 4generations thing a bit of thought, it must have been stuart cole's grand father who first started it, as one of his daughters works on the admin side there we go, 4 generations/100+ years
  14. LOL!!! i refused to get a stien lid, purely because i dont want to look like a power ranger
  15. i had the 13mm yale, then went to imori, took a couple of days to get totally used to it, but really liking it now, not too thin, and really flexible, i like it:thumbup:
  16. coolio peter that grab looks almost identical to a kingshofner (sp) i used to use. rear mount looks real handy too
  17. NICE!!!!!
  18. nice work billy
  19. good to meet you les, definatly agree with rob about the power sharp
  20. i got one, but my cameras waterlogged after falling asleep in the carpark in drizzle:blushing:
  21. i used + drove a long wheelbase merc 7.5, swb iveco 7.5, and an 18tonner iveco tipper with hiab, the merc was rubbish, the swb iveco was great, fill the box to the roof and it still drove well, nice trucks to drive and very manourevable. the 18tonner was great, normally the groundy would drive the 7.5 iveco for chip, and id have the hiab for cord, but occasionally we'd put a half length box on the hiab, chip on then load cord on the back with the grab, a great setup especially for distance work!
  22. yep, thanks justin, a great time was had meeting up with old faces, and meeting new, a great show
  23. camping all the way, last year was funny as hell!
