  1. Thinking of selling some of my gear part of which is my ms200t saw,What sort of price could i get for it?brought it about 2 yrs ago but its only done about 3months work,hasnt been thrashed and still in good nick. Any help would be great,its been sittin for a while and just not getting used. Also have harness ropes etc... WOuld it sell as a package or you reckon seperate?ebay maybe? cheers
  2. i run a 372xp with a 15inch bar and it is the best saw ive used,goes well with a 18 inch aswell.I rate them highly
  3. i think its pay pal hes talking about,ebay just hosts the stuff,paypal is the money side and a rip off if you ask me
  4. Dont want to sound daft or mean but i would say operator error.Should never put yourself in a situation where you could be dragged in,its plain simple. No push stick or no bigger branches then leave it in the hopper.
  5. if its a common fault with the model then its the maker not the supplier i thought?
  6. My first treemotion harness i had no problems with, but the one i have now the leg straps running through the 'D's are wearing out.WHo do i contact to get this fixed or replaced?cheers
  7. Benefit seems to be the way forward in britian,get ya missis to pop out a few and watch the dollars roll in,i think you have to buy some addidas trainers and tracksuit aswell to really get it rolling.
  8. i got a pair of haix pro climber light i think they are called,dont smell one bit after about 4weeks work and walking up a mountain,they feel a bit different then im used to but easily the best ive had.about 140-150pounds
  9. well what i get payed working for the council and what my own chargeout rate would be are quite different.although the council dosent pay to bad considering i dont have to work in the rain!muhahaha yes you guys heard it no rain work,mind you its a first for me and it still peeves me off a bit when i want to get a job done and the boys are havin a sook cause a few droplets are falling!sorry off subject a tad.
  10. When i read his first post i acutally read it in one go because of the lack of fullstops etc.. and didnt even understand what i had read.!HAd to re-read again and again! dohh!!!
  11. how do i express myself withou at least three f words in one sentance,i wont be able to say nothing!
  12. yeah the brigade turned up with all sorts of gear,dont know why they didnt get the plane out!,still waiting on pics,dont know what they will be like as boss took them.
  13. yeah with all that fairway that would have been ahead of him would have been the best idea i think,but who knows what was goin through the dudes head at the time,be lucky if he gets insurance,running out of fuel aint a very good thing insurance wise i dont think
  14. thats the stuff,they are calling him a hero,but anyone who runs out of fuel mid flight aint a hero in my eyes,idiot maybe.tell ya what though those planes dont have very thick carbon fibre i dont care how strong it is,wouldnt catch me in one.
  15. yeah wasnt quite a rc plane think it was a piper,two seater,not far off a rc mind you.
  16. Don't know if many people heard about the plane landing in a beech tree in dundee? Well my first claim to fame,being chargehand at dundee city got to remove the plane from the tree,possibly a once in a life time thing,got a bit of a rush off it with news crews and all that jazz around. Will try to get some pics up when i get ahold of some!
  17. david james!havent heard that name in a while he was a asessor for a few of my certs,flew up just for a couple of days,seemed like a good bloke ,although he said the pay wasnt as good as in nth island,but was keen to get anyone on board.
  18. well i dont like them,and if they surprize me they get the karate chop.I dont go out of my way to kill them but i dont like creepy crawlies,looks like i picked the wrong profession.lucky up here in bonnie old scotland there is pretty much nothing to worry about. Ive woken up with the suckers in my bed in the middle of the night.they must be on my clothes all the way home,they end up everywhere dam them! Exterminate Exterminate!. the giant ones are even worse.

  20. it would be fine to drill them i think,was a frp(fibre reinforced plastics) tech , boat builder for a few years and have worked a bit with cf.Funnily enough i was looking at some carbon spikes at the apf last year,they werent that much more then the alloy ones,just the quality of them didnt look that great to me and they wll never last as long as alloy so didnt go there but would like to try some as they were light as!
  21. ive got one but dont like it,each to there own i spose.
  22. IM in fife and im keen for anywhere,as long as ppl dont laugh when they see me climb.I acutally work out of camperdown park in dundee so could organize that but will be keen to hook up as everyone i work with just work with trees for money and are not really interested in recreational side,dam 99 percent of them couldnt tell you the latin name for an english oak!

    advice

    Hey everyone. Ive got a possible job been offered to me which would involve surveying,pricing,climbing etc.. I have tickets for the cutting and climbing etc.. but was wondering if i legally need any for the other? Ive done alot of courses in nz on tree inspections etc.. and wonder if that would be enough to carry me through? Job would bring in more money and a company car possibly so am pretty keen! And is sort of the next step i would like to take! Any advice would be great!
