Jon, I never mentioned weights and powers, you did that. I never commented because it matters not to me, I will (and do) work with both. what I said was this And I stand by that.

I have been cutting trees for more than 2 decades and I have yet to have yet to have a tree that I pruned die of an insect infestation that resulted from the pruning. Its never come up as a consideration on any of hundreds of pruning specifications, reports or management plans that have passed through my hands in that time. Its not mentioned on pruning consents issued under UK tree protection legislation or to the best of my knowledge the recently reviewed British standard for tree works without reaching for a copy (CBA looking so I will gladly hear different) If it were that big a problem I cant understand why loggers leave Huuuuge piles of lop and top around Is this an American thing? Anyhoo back to the topic. I worked in Germany for a number of years (a while back now) and if you take a bit of time to learn the lingo you will get a lot more out of the experience. Be ready to learn rules and how to follow them.

Surely anything binomial with more than 2 names becomes a trinomial etc.

I know quite a few people in the haulage industry, some are fat but there aren't any fat cats. Who are you referring to?

That's OK then, it was the first issue that came to mind

Nope HMCE will have you

As a tower crane it would be entitled to red as long as it only carried kit, carting stuff away would need DERV.

That kind of ends the debate then:laugh1:

I can hear you just fine STOP SHOUTING Its hard enough to read when you don't

Are you letting Lucas eat now? That seems extravagant. I thought he had to work to avoid the beatings:laugh1:

My bad, I meant the professional aspect rather than the bug thing in general There is a fair bit of this "I don't do that" attitude in tree work and that's fine if that's your choice but many use it to claim title to the pinnacle of professionalism. Professionalism is giving the client the information to make an informed choice. It is after all their tree, a chattel to do with as they please and we are the service industry they use. I see your PDF and offer •Leave woody cuttings from trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants in piles within a shrub bed.

They are tolerant of all but the most brutal "pruning" Be careful getting out of your depth happens quick and it always hurts

Lets assume its leylandii or similar and not forget that any active nests are protected

If you say so

Well let's see, it's a proven saw and didn't get withdrawn, the dealer will post it to you if needed and it's a perfectly good saw. Arguing the toss over "half a gram heavy on the back end" is a waste of time, show your talent and do the best job you can with what you have to hand.

At the risk of going off topic here its only hypocrisy, IF you say you don't do it then do it. Can you explain how pruning trees when beetles are active is bad?

Or you could just buy a 395:thumbup1:

Good vid, very professional. I particularly enjoyed seeing the place without the lack of the trademark fragrance of "smellyrua"

Nope, its an eye catcher, built to show off the owners products at shows. Its good a that job but as others have said it has no payload to speak of.

Restricted does mean own goods but it also means UK only As far as CPC goes, I know.

You are such a martyr.

I would say start with a micro rigging kit, less to go wrong till you get used to it A sling, a steel biner, a pinto rig pulley and a bit of Sirius in 12 or 14mm and a friction device would be my choice.

Sounds like your tank breather is blocked.

Can you be s bit more specific? A hydraulic system is supposed to pressurise Is the leakage fluid or is it bubbles and froth

Except we aren't carrying goods for sale, chip and lumps of wood aren't produce. Its waste guvenor:thumbup1: Although I do agree, just because you don't need a CPC doesn't mean you shouldn't get one.
