  1. awesome! whats the tree work like there november onwards???
  2. nothing to contribute, but really interesting david!
  3. 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
  4. even better! then theres a discount ofcourse:001_tongue:
  5. 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!
  6. sure looks interesting!
  7. what a waste of food . . :lol:
  8. 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:
  9. 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
  10. LOL!!! i refused to get a stien lid, purely because i dont want to look like a power ranger
  11. 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:
  12. coolio peter that grab looks almost identical to a kingshofner (sp) i used to use. rear mount looks real handy too
  13. NICE!!!!!
  14. nice work billy
  15. good to meet you les, definatly agree with rob about the power sharp
  16. i got one, but my cameras waterlogged after falling asleep in the carpark in drizzle:blushing:
  17. 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!
  18. yep, thanks justin, a great time was had meeting up with old faces, and meeting new, a great show
  19. camping all the way, last year was funny as hell!
  20. cheers, i dont understand how they can justify a 40% rise despite doing nothing wrong:thumbdown: charlie, can you pm me youre address again? emptyed my pm's:blushing:
  21. tom, i'll do you a swap, my shotgun, gun sleeve, cabinet and 50 cartridges
  22. imo wrong species to be close to the house, fell, poison stump, topically poison any shoots, 6mth later grind stump out
  23. can any under 25's who have really good insurance providers tell me who they are with?? e.g the ones that are cheaper by far came home today to find that despite now 4 years no claims, my landrovers jumped by up by £140, and my mercs nearly doubled, jumping up by £300:thumbdown: p.s, dont say Direct line!!! thanks
