  2. I feel a little better now cheers paul at least there is another person to back me up haha:thumbup1:
  3. I am a subscriber to forestry journal and essential arb of which i find them very useful on keeping up to date with current industry information, but on this note i would also like to point out a few things. Now first off im not one of these people that just goes out in search of things that people are doing wrong or maybe not by the book, but as a publication aimed at the professional side of the industry and not so much the public some things i feel should be looked at before publishing. It is mostly within images used. If your doing a write up about a company profile then surely they should be shown to carrying out best practice (hse wise). Two photos in particular one of climbers not wearing side impact helmets ie rock climbers helmets and also not wearing a harness when in a mewp. Im waiting now to get slated for being the saddo that has to write this but as an industry magazine surely this stuff should get picked on before print? Thanks for a great resource (despite the other half wondering why i need to keep them throughout the house) and i always look forward to the next mag. Ben
  4. They are pretty handy and aren't too bad when old dorris drives into the signs they are pretty hardy (its all happened). only thing is the cable or string whatever overlaps the cone sometimes breaks off but just drill holes through and retie and jobs a good un
  5. It would be worth buying the saw to give bad feedback to see his reply hahaha
  6. but what about mature trees that have already undergone the pollarding process then that cant be classed as topping? Although as you have said it mentions stem diameter so i guess you would pollard before the new growth got to that size? i need to get me the new bs 3998

  9. I find it amusing about how there is currently a thread regarding being undercut and now about how much this guy has charged, i know the price is not the only issue before anyone jumps on me.
