dryads a very good firm, or try ISS they had a tree team north of guildford, large company, only done a day for them though

Whos the convict???

yeah, agree, think its very area dependant to what the cost of living is, thus, what a good wage is

yeah thats fine, but (dependant on area) it doesnt leave you much-round this way cost of living is high- at a guess: tax£50pw, food£40pw, fuel£20, car insurance£20pw(dear if in first few years), social life£50(£3.00 pint!),even a room in a shared house is around £60pw! after general living expences, round here you wouldnt be left with much if you want to save-new car/house deposit ect, youd struggle to make much headway! i was trying to offer some hope to them!

big kit

this thread makes it sound like no newbies got a chance, or are going to be earning £50 a day!! heres some hope to them when i finished arb college a few years back-after a 3 month course, i was honest with the companies i spoke too, i had a week of trial days booked in at the end of the course(5 seperate companys) and got accepted by all of them (i know it helped that i had good refrences and an agricultural backround and had been working in conservation/agriculture since i left school, and wasnt shy of hard work-who can be in farming?!) i had starting wages ranging from £65-£80 per day. had 6 months with one company (£80perday), then moved away, at the next company, i started on £80 and within 3 months had been boosted to £100per day as they felt i had not only worked hard for it, but, more importantly was more than capable enough to deserve it im not bragging, just trying to give hope and show current arb students that it is possible to earn good coin in under a year, IF you work hard, learn quickly, enjoy yourself, and are a natural to tree work

a horsey yard off the beaten track to the south west of stow where my sister occasionally teaches unfortunatly no horsey girls present

ah ok, if i get any more private jobs that way ill give you notice. been asked to do a poplar near bury, not sure when though go that way quite alot-sister lives in stow, and old man lives on the coast

where are you then steve? i know andy collins is in stow area too

just got back from a large dismantle in stowmarket! would have been a great tree for you to have a go at climbing in. could have given you a few pointers too

cheers tony, was thinking same family as Ulmus. not exactly the sort of tree youd expect to find 20ft from Ely cathedral!

jeez! delights of mog ownership!

got youre trailer fixed yet??

cant see the pics

i know i should know it, but cant think:confused1: camera phone quality im afraid

sounds good to me! better than weve been quoted so far will tell the boss tommorrow

my mates got a swb terrano van with bfg a/t's on, was chuffed to bits when he got them, still is. best comprimise-full M/Ts can be noisy on tarmac and poor wet handling on road. i'd go for them at that price!

need to get a new big saw, decided on an ms660+30"bar i know theres a few dealers on here, so whats the best price someone can offer?! cheers Josh

no one came to save his bacon then...........

last year px was quoting 110 for a tonne bag
