But its not the point that we feel we can use it on the ground, its about minimising risks-a topper is easy to use one handed- and with kickback or release of a tensioned branch/sappling throwing the saw towards you, no-one is capable of stopping it one handed-tw handed is still hard as the handles are so close and the natural arc your folding arm takes, brings the saw towards your torso-i should know i have a small but leech like scar on my sternum-3 inch higher, or if the chain was spinning could be a much bigger scar at best, could easly be a severed carotid artery limiting the use to within the tree limits the risk-as profesionals we should recognise this atleast on a public forum

Perhaps its the little things, like top handles on the ground, stump grinding without eyeprotection that slowley creeps into day to day work with a bit of lazyness, which others onsite should bring to their attention there and then, to minimise the risk of accident

Treemon, on your website, you have someone stumpgrinding with just ear defenders . . . should he not be wearing eye protection too?

Really did laugh out loud at that!!!

yes lets advise jose a tracked chipper, its not small like he wants, it needs an aditional trailer, will definatly be over 750kg so that means trailer licence, he works in london so of course bigger, heaver tracked kit will be far more suitable than a TW125 or GM130 Jose, why not ask GM for a demo day?
-
I guess the original poster wants a smaller chipper for a reason . . . can only comment on GM's round blades and echo ICTrees comments, very good

Shell have their own brand of alkalyte fuel, maybe it would be a better option to petition the fuel companys to supply their own alkalyte fuel in their own filling stations like they do over here, rather than ask one brand to drop their prices

yes, i know its bad, i was just putting myself in their shoes, what they might think, i honestly dont think they see it as criminal damage, a little education at the source might go a long way and far mor practable, cheaper and less intrusive than enforcement officers, cctv ect A simple sign, police force logo'd, big picture of a dog hanging off a branch with ILLEGAL stamped across it at the enterances to parks could go a long way, how else are you going to get the point across?

Plus it doesnt 'go off' or perish rubber, so if you use a machine only a few times a year, the machine wont suffer through lack of use
-
Do people actually realise that this is wrong though? afterall its just a branch from a tree, plenty more, trees still there. . . i think its only because of us being Arbs we realise this is bad, but joe public will not understand the damage, cost, and unsightlyness of ripped branches, and i doubt people realise its vandalism, criminal damage-its a just a tree, not a window, car ect We are educated in trees, most are not Perhaps Police endorsed signage that damage to trees is unlawfull, and carrys a fine upto 20K per offence-i guess they're tpo'd afterall? might be a good start

Agree with matty, not worth half the price tag, soaked up water like a sponge, making them super heavy, started falling appart at 5 months. i did find them comfy but overall very dissapointing
-
How'd you figure that out Volume wise i fitted the whole of my 130 on the back of my mates 7.5tonner Weight wise my 130 pre chipbox had a load weight of circa 1.5t, a 7.5tonner double that minimum Agreed an 18tonner would possibly be better especially with a grab, but the original poster, from what i gather hasnt a HGV licence, although thats a little unclear Do you need the offroad ability or pto of the Mog?

are you heading back on the same day?

Changes to driving licence rules in Great Britain
josharb87 replied to Tony.Price's topic in Training & education
think youve missread, its For new drivers, "Category BE If your trailer weighs over 750 kg and the combined trailer and towing vehicle weight is more than 3,500 kg, you’ll need to pass a further test. The trailer you tow must not be heavier than 3,500 kg. This test will be shown on your driving licence as category BE. For C1+E is if you want to A) use a sub 3.5t vehicle to tow over 3.5t, or B) if you use a plus 3.5t vehicle to tow over 750kgs (Just C1 needed to drive over 3.5t and tow under 750kg) I think! -
Well done!
