Should you need a licence to be an arborist?
josharb87 replied to Gregsie's topic in Training & education
isnt that what, in a round about sort of way is what the arb assosiation approved contractor was supposed to be about? (untill they got too wrapped up in fairy stuff like 'your eyewash is out of date, you havent got a COSHH for your computers ink cartridge' instead of focussing on the quality of work to which the company can produce) ??? -
after giving it a good clean, you tried re-tuning the carb? guess you cleaned the carb wire filter too? (i brought a ms460 off ebay for £50 as a dodgy runner a few months back, took it home cleaned the crap outa the wire filter i the carb, and now got a cracking saw!)

few weeks back, i was up a lime, knocking deadwood out sometimes unintntionally as i climbed, saw my groundie with no helmet, shouted down to him to get it, so he walks under the tree to the truck, gets helmet, walks back under tree and just as he raises his helmet, bang clouted on the head, split it wide open! bit of good fortune-working near opposite addenbrookes A+E! diddnt knock any sence into him though

yep, id second raywood ash (aka claret ash)-got a beautifull row of street trees in cambridge, colours amazing right now, will get a photo on way home tommorrow. and yep, theyre very brittle, rip outs every half decent wind

wouldnt nutrients to the soil start reversing the effects of any toxins? tree doesnt look like its on its last legs so anything that we can offer the yew to help it on its way to recovery has to be worth a shot??? sorry for daft assumptions, but havnt any real knowledge it this area:sad:
-
surely its not going to do any harm decompacting and nourishing?? (i know nothing about this but would like to learn as and when!)

first stand or walk shoot yesterday first drive was crap tbh-farmer had lifted the beat on friday so no birds! rest of the day was good, not a huge amount about, had to be choosey, fair few squeakers-a few were shot had a few cracking screamers stop dead, so was well chuffed:) plenty of drink through the day, then far too much at the dinner, no bad head today though! hows everyone elses season going???

i know a few lads in cork, one runs his own tree firm, if you need a starting hand over there sure theyd set you up, like prev' post said-go for the craic, the irish are up for one hell of a good time, as for the soft southern accent on the girls (drooling) seriously tempted to move there just for them:)
-
expect to see a few on saturday, first shoot of the season

hedge cutting mewps are the way to go:)

just passed my HGV C2 and think i remember from the theory its any vehicle with the capability of exceeding 3.5 tonnes needs a tacho. also if youve got a post 97 driving licence (tow no-more than 750kgs) and are driving anything with a tow-bar fitted that is rated over 750kgs, even with no-trailer, you can be done for "potential to exceed your permissable weight" what a load of BS, 99% of vehicles on the road have the potential to do more than 70mph, but you dont get done for "potential speeding" ! countrys going down the pan, FAST

me and my manager couldnt stop laughing when we saw it at the show, gave the poor old salesman a bit of a hard time about it then again, i am young without any aches and pains to worry about. . . yet

a mate has the terrano van-short wheel base, few months back, done a job with him, my 046+25inch bar will only just fit in at an angle in the back, not alot of room for anything other than basic kit (046, 026, 020 climbing bag, lowering rope, fuel cans jackets, lids), bounced around more than j-lo on acid when towing the chipper, pulls well, cruises comfortably though. keep with the green oval, disco commercial:) or standard disco with ply-lined rear. doesnt have award winning towing or offroad performance for no reason!
-
just a guess, but if significant root flares are left on, stacking the poles might become a wee bit difficult for them? looks like theyre wanting nice straight poles. following on from that guess, with a 100ft+ tree, would the time of stripping the trees of the flares first, be un-costeffective as opposed to loosing a couple of foot of timber???

only whilst sharpning the chain

used one for livestock fencing, quarrane was mounted on the front loader, brilliant, and easy to use being loader mounted-had the front/rear tilt from the loader, and a ram on the knocker to tilt if tractor was on a gradient-that had 3strand not chains. simmilar to this: although this looks like a home made jobby, ours would knock sleepers in!

whose going to be the first arbtalk'er to post a shuffler video of themselves then????
