  1. Hi all I am doing my CS32 in a couple of weeks at Leeds castle. What tools will I need? Got PPE, saw felling wedges, a high lift wedge, tape, Sledge hammer they are supplying winch. Also anyone got any tips? Cheers Steve
  2. Well done mate, I love my quite Sunday mornings.
  3. Well done Yorkshire what was the biology etc paper like?
  4. Wow mighty impressive
  5. May just be sour grapes on my part, revised and much as I did for the soil etc exam last year and got 78% in that one. Even the out tutor thought the paper was hard. TBH it may of asked for EN numbers but still I still think that is a lot to ask. Cant believe the was no question on BS3998, as it is 1 of the 3 Learning objectives. By the way Kev I did my PA1 and PA6 the other day with a trainer called Ian Gower he is also the south of England distributer for stem injectors. His site is IG Horticulture - Sales, supply, hire and Horticulture Training
  6. Same here Steve
  7. Well only 1 person then
  8. Nice rot box (first pic I mean).
  9. I would go for a ms180 if you want new
  10. My problem with the first aid question was we was only told to learn the regs not how to carry out first aid thats all it says in the syllabus (must do a probber firt aid course)
  11. Not seen it yet hope they were better that the last 2. One trying to make a living off three acres and the out with crippling arthritis.
  12. Of all the people on here I thought you would know the all Bob
  13. Hi this might sound a bit like sour grapes but just got my results for unit 4 (tree surgery). I failed with 45%. One of the question on there was about the PPE a groundsman should wear. It asked what they should wear how it protected the and what the CE numbers were for all the PPE. How many of you can list the CE number for PPE, I think this is a ridiculous part to the question. And if you need to check the you should just look them up. Did anyone else do this paper before Christmas? I think the question about first aid was unfair asking what would you do in the event of a co worker getting a bad cut. As it only states in the knowledge requirements about first aid regulations. Hope to here your views on this Steve
  14. Friend of mine has 1 been using it today very good machines for what they are. Like any gravity fed chipper the material needs a bit more work, and wet stuff and conifer needs feeding to prevent blocking. But tbh I don't know if it would be any better than your current chipper.
  15. Timberland gloves are really good.
  16. I had some done by vist print designed myself on line, post card size on heavy card. Think they were £135 for 2000, only put about 1000 out didn't have time to put the rest around, was too busy. Think if you do flyer's they must look professional.
  17. My treebusta used to block all the time before I learnt to feed it. If you let it go too quick it blocks loads or forget to clear the pile before it gets too high (which I do all the time), but if you feed it it hardly ever blocks.
  18. How are the blades holding up on that steve?
  19. Listers were not very helpfull when i asked about parts for it
  20. Im in the same boat will be interesting to see if there is any about.
  21. No prob just let me know your details. Steve
  22. Just found it, great tractors 384 just started my grandparents after 6 months and started in 5 secs.
  23. Hi I have got 1 cant lay my hands on it at the mo got it of ebay a few years ago give me a shout if you need something coppied off it. Steve
  24. Sure I have seen vented barrow dags in forestry journal.
