when i done my tractor ticket 5-6 years ago, we were taught how to enter the cab in the correct mannor by using the steps and rails, doing it incorrectly was a fail

Haha, wait untill nifty steve finds this thread, his mog is definatly not used for light duties! it gets worked hard! pics steve, pics!

you have good taste my man, i put that ad up on my face book a few weeks back! great minds liam, great minds

its simple, no matter what youre age, if you work hard, are good at what you do, and a model employee, you WILL get work, people WILL want to employ you, and you WILL be paid accordingly. mick, i think the problem is that there are hundreds of young guys who want to be a tree surgeon, but have never even seen a saw or done any hard work, they then go through college, which is at a nice slow steady pace, get given a trial with blokes like you, and suddenly 9/10 of them realise its a bloody hard industry to labour in, let alone be skillfull. imo out of 20 college leavers, 2 or 3 will be capable of working hard, and maybe only 1 will be skillfull and hard working enough to be capable of being a decent tree guy, the other 17 will try, fail, cry, blame everyone else, work in tesco's.

thats fantastic mate!

90 quid

works for me

steve, you should definatly come along mate last years show there was something for everyone, an amazingly friendly chilled out atmosphere, cracking deals, competitions-but without the ego's, demos, fire and most importantly freely flowing beer

stick the tree next to the rock you brought home mate

AWESOME stevie now go forth and pull something over just because you can

The Treehouse the usa's arbtalk

he'll be back . . . i hope

that de barker looks great mate, how much?

i dont think id have attempted it with a syc dean, if it was just the back lean then maybe, but not a side lean too-a touch too risky maybe! pulled it with the hiab lorry mark

ok, i wussed out on this one and put a rope on it. . . well 2 actually as the previous tree (leaning into garden) the pull rope snapped:blushing: luckely on that one i had got a wedge in to hold it, and was able to tie the rope together for another pull, so lesson learnt, last tree in row of 7, not an ounce of weight going in direction of fell, leaning over neighbours garden, inc shed, greenhouse, partition wall, prob tall enough to clip house aswell if it went wrong! but it diddnt and we saved a load of time

the tube which connects the carb to the piston could be perished/split, when you tilt saw, the split/perished bit opens/closes allowing air into the already mixed air/fuel combo. fidily but easy fix. mine split last week, i was able to see the split looking at the pipe through the gap between the bottem of air filter, and rear saw body

cheers wizz, well near the end of the 1st one (hence the pic) some bloke started moaning about our signs and cones, so had to come down to sort them out but actual climbing time, the bigger one about an hour, smaller one 45min cheers steve, now is it topping, reduction, hacking or??? after a few threads on here im confused to what ive done groundy left the jocky wheel down whilst driving through the woods, over stumps, not noticing the thumping sounds or jerking ffs

10 week course covers alot of theory and gives you youre practicle tickets for climbing+a little climbing experience, tech cert after a couple of years once youve been round a tree seen all the defects/understand the tree from within the tree

this mornings job, and lunch up the yard

would that be legal in the uk peter?

HAHA, Deans stripping, and bobs feeling horny

if we felled and replanted all trees instead of reductions, we would loose a hell of alot of large, irreplaceable structures across the towns and cities, and would be left with a load of freshly staked 10foot trees that probabally wont reach 40years. sometimes imo its best to reduce trees if purely to leave the only 5ft diameter trunk for miles arround, just so someone can look at that girth and ask themselves 'what has that tree seen' and hey if a tree needs reducing on a regular cycle, why not, its money in an arbs pocket, food for their children, and a piece of furniture on the landscape. cost isnt a great deal compared to what would be lost-reduce a veteran oak/lime/beech ect once every 5 year? £500 a time? 2k for 20 extra years, 5k for 50 extra years of a beautifull sized tree has to be worth it-how much more co2 will that reduced tree soak up than a sapling? how many extra birds, insects, fungi will live off that tree compared to a sapling? nice work hama and walnuts can be pollarded:001_tongue:

well mine was the blue and green model, i had it when it first came out as my boss at the time had links to the guy that designed or tested them, something like that. when we were informed about the bridge recall, when i checked my bridge by sliding back the sheath thing that covers the bridge from wear, (and easy visible inspection) the bridge webbing had seperated by approx 10mm, with just the stitching threads holding it together (just)

good job you diddnt have one of the early ones with the faulty stitching on the bridge mesterh, youd have crusified it even more!! mine had the bridge and shackel recall just in time-tineyst bit of shock loading and it would have failed its an ok harness . . . as a spare
