I enjoyed it why step below the plunged backcut? i would have thought that would cause the top's step to catch the stem's step tipping the tip of the top foward, where as stepping the top above the plunged backcut nothing would have snagged, maybe making the whole top land flat and avoided damaging the lawn . . . although the damage you made, which some others would worry about looks to me to be about 2minutes with a fork

the full weeks intensive course, theory test and theory training day a few months before and practical test at the end of the week was around 1200, but that was a few years ago, and i think the tests might have changed which equals more money i guess

just wait untill you're 21 like i did (only waited a few months mind) and for the same price as 7.5, get full rigid, be more use to companys that have hiab wagons then, aswell as 7.5'ers
-
you will need to do either your 7.5tonner or big rigid before full artic or rigid/7.5t + trailer i believe, i went for biggest i could do at 21 with post 97 licence and that was rigid 33?T

never let the fire service do tree surgery
josharb87 replied to testcricket01's topic in Video forum
The fire service do what they can untill help arrives, a few years ago a tree fell across one of the main roads in Cambridge, by the time we got there the police had closed the road, the fire service were there tackling a 70ft chestnut with an axe. . . funny as it was, they were doing what they could with tools available. if they sat there doing nothing people would still mock them for that its not like they have tree surgery advertised on their trucks, or are competition they wernt doing tree surgery, they were trying to make a tree safe, the emergancy services are there for our safety too -
nice one ace! when i was first taught to fell, the guy told me if i had ballistics i wouldnt have respect and think i was invinsible, so fair play!

Nice one phil on the multi tasking, rescuing and romancing Hows things going for you anyway mate?

Sooooooo, a few months on, burried it in wood on take downs, crane work, pruning, and its still just ok, its lacking something especially when pruning and you want the revvy'ness you get with the 200, much prefer my 'spare' saw, a MS200t which is only a few months older -so a fair comparison Performance wise its not a better saw when side by side a new MS200t imo

If your companys got a 7.5t tipper, 18t grab wagon, a climber and 2 groundies, 1 day, £1250+ plus 50t crane cost (to make things easy )

how do volunteers take real peoples jobs when they dont get paid!? imo they help the 'real people' by normally doing the crap jobs -
scandinavian arborists association, facebook i think trädkronan were looking a few weeks back
-
i dont use them so you can get a perfect pruning cut on a small flexible branch facing away from you in the canopy with a saw 4 or 5 meters away?
-
-
So everyone seems to use gipsey sticks then?! only seen them make rips and poor pruning cuts if you're new to this type of work, spend a bit of time getting out there and making a perfect job, dont start off being lazy IMO

If you want to get into the conservation sector, voulenteer first, it really is the only way to get in, i did through school to avoid doing 5 days a week from 14 and had a job as soon as i left with the RSPB -
