    i was told buy a local NPTC instructor/assessor that yu were not allowed/meant to chip christmas trees he wass saying that thery give off either a fine dust or vapor that is bad for your health , has anyone elts heard of this ?? i would have thought that if ths was the case then we would not be allowed to chip london plane branches in the summer either . any way well done steve glad to hear your doing your bit for charity and recycleing . who knows you may even get some cordwood to keep from some of the bigger trees lol

    that looks like a great job to do , its nice to get an obscure job from time to time , i like the posittioning of the 190 as well - small enough to mover round into tight places but still big enough to deall with large volumes of brash and quickly .

    why not re condition it ?? i had one on an old truck that did not work at all but after a few hours spent in the work shop it was working like new , with most of the tipper motors that parts are verry common and easily sourced

    i guess you cant go into the good and bad points as yet , i was chatting to fletcher stewart and they did say about the side d rings being to close to something , i really do like the current version but would prefer quick release leg loops and better saw attachment as well oh and maybe somewhere for a first aid kit lol

    great job Reg , how are you finding the new version skylotec ?? is it as good as i was lead to believe up at the aa show ?? i have the origional skylotec but its getting a bit on the worn side now and im wondering if its worth waiting for the new one to be released .
  21. combined tree services

  22. combined tree services

    seems like a usefull ticket to have but tbh it overlaps windblown trees and how often do you get a situation where you can set winches up etc , normally we are expected to clear the road of powerline asap . I was wondering why there has not been a CS unit introduced for climbing and making safe dammaged/ strom dammaged trees . Back in the last storms we were working with another company and the majority of their climbers only hold CS38&39 and to be honest it was quite shocking watching what a couple of them were prepared to do and actually thought that what they were about to do was acceptable , i drew the line when i was asked to climb a turkey oak that had heaved its root plate and all that was holding a 60 foot tree up was 3 11kv powerlines of which had partially burn through the stem where the tree and powerlines had made contact !
