employment Looking for climbing work in Gothenburg Sweden.
josharb87 replied to Matt H's topic in Employment
On Facebook look for: Sveriges Arboristförbund SAF (2 pages, one you can post on, one you can’t) And Svenska trädföreningen Try posting on there -
It does look good, very clever, but i wonder how easy it'll be to flip a bite of rope over a longer distance or from a more horisontal position?

Aspens awesome! Used it for 8years now, buy in 25l barrels, I consider it ppe. maybe the cost would be significant for a forester but if an arborist can’t justify the cost their doing something wrong. Bigger saws might need slight carb adjustments, my used 88 swapped over no problem, a freshly rebuild 020t had problems though (soon sorted but annoying nevertheless)

Stumps loaded with rock salt
josharb87 replied to Boggle4137's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
If the trees were cut down 2-3 years ago and they haven't re-grown, then they're already dead. The rock salt should be used on freshly cut stumps to kill them off/stop them sprouting like a coppice stump. It does not rot them any quicker. Well done on getting paid for it though! ? -
Not 100% sure but think after Peter sold protipper these guys brought it? Try www.powertipper.co.uk

It’s trim level you’re paying for. I wanted leather seats (wipe clean), heated seats, reversing camera (awesome for backing on to a trailer, especially loaded) and sat nav and it was actually cheaper to go for the invincible model than add them on a base model.

That looks like a handy grinder! Is the swing as wide as it looks it should be? whats the HP,fuel,length, price? Radio controlled?
-
Knocked today’s felling job off due to the weather, went grinding instead, doesn’t look it in the pics but it was bloody windy, wet and cold! Thankful for the harkie smock and woolpower thermals! 9 stumps averaging 120cm diameter plus surface roots in 3,5 hours

Mines been on since start of the month Rich! Get some rims so you can do it yourself Woke to a light dusting this morning, and snowing outside now

It’ll be better once worn in, I use the Zubat arborist, very aggressive when new but wears in nicely
-
Do a combo of drop hitch on the truck and bigger wheels and tyres on the trailer?
-
Hi rob! offer one, 3/8 063, thats suitable for Stihl 46/66 series saws right?

Environmental vandal (mother in law rant)
josharb87 replied to spandit's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Sorry (not really, just trying to be polite) but sounds like you need to grow a pair. If if she does something in the garden you don’t like, when you see it, raise your voice and remark “what fucking idiots done that?” When she replies it was her just keep with it, ask her wtf was she thinking? Imagine your giving a child a telling off! -
Its carefully wedged in place with thousands of wooden wedges precisely placed
-
Started with about 4,5m3 chip, then added the chipper, overweight for the Hilux towing capacity but within the trailers limits I reckon
-
I’ll give it a go outside in and see if there’s any difference
-
Whys that please stubby? I’ve been doing it inside out with good results
-
I would very much hope that Husqvarna pick up the tab, as that should not happen imo. Have you looked inside to see if anything else is damaged?

We were in Tallin in the end of april this year @PeteB, lovely clean city, great weather, beautiful old town, friendly people, some stunning modern buildings that actually fitted in very well. We were there just for a day (departed stockholm fri eve by ferry, arrived saturday morning, left tallin saturday eve, home sunday morning, so just a day actually in Tallin, just wandering about. A long weekend with some structure of what to do would be ace

As they're sub contractors and not on the books, they're effectively competition in my eyes, and as such if they want your kit they should pay for it/you should charge them your standard "rate" or the rate you give other companies if you are subbing to them. Whatever they charge on top for themselves is theirs wether its £100 or £1000 and if its underpriced they are the ones taking the hit, not you, you still charge them the agreed rate for your services. They're their own company at the end of the day and need to grow a pair rather than having their cake and eating it hiding behind you. If they were on the books then yeah, a finders fee sounds a good idea

I’m 99% certain that the rules changed a few years ago and now it’s the actual weight that counts rather than plated weight

This was quite a good one, church property having an extension done and a building company that does everything

Looks like a type of Benved, https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benved

You'd be surprised, couple of years ago i rebraced and reduced an oak that had had cobra installed 25 years previously, those who installed it told the customer it had a 25 year life span so he hadn't done anything except mark when it needed replacing 25 years later!
