That's the most pertinent point to this entire thread
-
I think converted is misleading, it was an option. That's an old school saw and that's just what manufacturers did back in the day
-
I realise the terms FISA and HSE are like a red rag to a bull for some so don't shoot the messenger Free Forestry Safety and Health Awareness Day -
Couldn't agree more, we do actually have the legislation in place but it needs expanding to cover all trailers rather than just HGV

Why does tree work pay so bad in comparison to other trades?

Fixed that for ya:laugh1: -
Seriously?

I believe I said this before Your flow and pressure are more than the saw can handle by a substantial factor, it should have been the first thing you upgraded
-
Yes you ought to have purged the air, it's a simple thing to do Did you change the filters at the same time?

The HSE guidance for the in feed is a minimum bottom height of 750mm (from memory). That looks compliant to me. There is no requirement for an in feed "tray", it can be flat or sloping. There is a requirement for a minimum distance from the leading edge of the in feed protection device to the leading edge of the in feed roller(s). Again that looks pukka.

Or better yet, why didn't someone spot it while is was still a crack. You would expect the Council to have daily inspection records for its HGV fleet, its what the road haulage industry is required to do on a daily basis. Its also not the first time something like this has happened to this particular council. As an industry tree surgery tends to forget that like it or not, we are part of road haulage. Tree surgery tends to regard the tree work as the be all and end all and often treats its vehicles as nothing more than a means to get men and saws to a tree. Drive slow on those speed bumps folks

Its an oil, stuff will stick to it, ok so it wont attract stuff but that's just how the seller has phrased the blurb
-
There is nothing wrong with graphite powder per se but it has to me used sparingly. The disadvantage with lightweight oils is exactly that, light oils don't endure, that's fine in regular use but not so good for storage Neither is perfect neither is right or wrong Its worth bearing in mind that the treetools blog essentially says, some blokes we paid to run a course for us recon this "new" lube is the way to go, and by the way we stock it. It also says that graphite was previously the only option, NZ has had light spray type oils for a while now

Having done a spell driving night trunk runs for a parcel company, and having seen the way the loaders literally chuck stuff the length of an artic trailer nothing would surprise me. God forbid you were late into the hub and the only and last trailer to load before they went home, Some of that stuff landed so hard, I swear I thought it was going to come clean through the trailer headboard and land on the bunk of the tractor unit. Forklift rash all over the inside of every trailer

The thing is, "they" don't know how long you have been trading so unless you tell them......... If you do tell them you are inviting getting bent over so mums the word on that one. Having a pukka set of T&C's will not only improve your chances of avoiding problems but it will make your operation more professional. (in appearance at least) Rather than scare people off, they will probably be reassured by your professional attitude
-
You should invoice in accordance with your terms and conditions, which raises the question, what do your T&C's say about invoicing or better yet, do you have T&C's. The point is that its difficult to enforce payment terms if you haven't put them in the T&C's. Domestic customers pay on completion. Commercials can have a month but some may be on pro forma depending on their payment history.

I think some people cant see further than their own life experiences That type of machine is most common on ROW works, primarily in the US where that industry is huuuuuge.

One visit a year can make it unstable? Now that is fragile, what's going to happen next time the wind blows? -
Its the seed coating, its as sticky as hell. Birds are the vector for the seeds, nature has designed it adhere to bark.

I, like I am sure many others here would love to give a sheyite about this but you don't make it easy and comments like that aren't likely to help your cause. I tried reading the information and lost the will to live trying to decide what it was you were trying to achieve, I came away with the distinct impression that you wanted to police who went near the trees Ya lost me a while back
