Avoid Haix at all costs. I had a pair, they split after 3 months, cost me £200 and Workware whom I believe are the suppliers of Haix refused to honour the warantry. I have had cheaper boots last years. No risk seem to be a good choice at the right money

I can see both points of view. My initial opinion is that it is too close to the wall and so will only cause problems in the long run so be cost effective to fell now rather than pollard then fell at a later date.

I believe the AA and Lantra run consultancy courses from begining to advanced. There is also a tree hazard evaluation proforma called THREATS which is another course that deems you qualified to rate the hazards of individula trees. Hope this helps Rob

First disclocated mine back in 2000. First op in 2005, second in 2007 and third booked in for later this year. Tree work, rugby and shoulders do not mix!! I gave up the climbing and got subbys in to do it for me. Financially that wasnt geat to be honest but it keeps me involved in Arb.

I am after a sub contract climber around the Loughborough area. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi I have a job up north around Irlam. I need a site to tip some brash. Any ideas? Thanks Rob

Hi...The power units are Stihl 075 AV if that helps??

Hi I am interested in a saw mill. Similar to an alaskan mill. The chainsaw it comes with has a power unit at both ends of the bar. The bar is about 31 inches long. At the minute it doesnt run, it has sat for quitye some time but I really fancy this bit of kit and a go at milling some of the timber I fell?? Any ideas what I should offer? Thanks:001_cool:

Where abouts are you in the midlands?? If you are studying at Warwickshire college theres a company nearby called Byrne Landscaping and Tree Surgery. Tree Surgeon Warwick, Landscapers Leamington Spa Hes a mad kiwi... I worked with him for about 18 months. He'll graft you hard but hes a good guy! He might be able to give you abit of work from time to time.

I have done a fair bit of contract maintenance. 2 acres could be cut quite quickly with the right mower. My initial reaction is mowing can be viable as it is a regular source of work. The finish of grass is quite a key factor to the quote but to be honest I dont think people will pay more than £150 for that type of work. Be cautious of buying a mower specifically for that one job though.....I did the same thing for a contract on a golf course, only to be gazumped by a transit driving individual who was selling soemthing called 'lucky heather!!!' Hope this helps

I have been asked to quote a detailed Survey of approx 60 semi to mature trees, Sycamores, Ash, Beech etc etc.....Some of which would need a climbing inspection following an order of work from Network Rail for one of my clients. Can anyone give me a guide to priceing the job? How much do you think??? I have done individual tree inspections and surveys before but nothing of this size or nature. Needless to say I want the Job!!! Thanks for your help in advance!!

That I like

Yeh marked....One climbing kit and one lowering kit...Cheers guys
