    Like most of you i feel that many accidents are caused by rushing and in smoe cases poor work positioning , i like most try to get the job done as quickly as possible however i am now begining to buy equipment that will aid me in getting the best work position that i can and limmt the ammount of fatigue . Also in some cases i feel that more planning of your climb and in some cases taking advice from others really can help too !!

    just wondering if anyone has had the same or similar problem - jumped into my the Mazda yesterday started the truck and drove off but within 10 yards the truck died (similar to running out or fuel) but the truck has half a tank of fuel , so i tried turning it over and the truck would still not start alto there is still plenty of compression and the cam belt is in one piece so it was left parked up for the day . This morning i went out and it started first time but the engine did knock a bit as it started - all i can guess is that it was caused by exes fuel caused buy turning it over so much yesterday but im still at a loss as to what caused the truck to die like it did yesterday . i have had the truck for 3 years and never had a problem with it before !!! anyway guys your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated , so far my only thought is that it may be a faulty stop solanoid !! Many thanks Dave.

    why ??? its simple - I had a 55 plate transit tipper and it was im my oppinion any better than the old transits !!! im sure a man with your intelligence can understand that it is not unusual for a tree surgeon to have had more than one transit tipper:laugh1:
  11. combined tree services
    well observed !!! the 55 plate was what the lease company sent to me while they waited for my NEW transit that ford motors told them would be 3 months , thankfully it only took two months in which time the 55 plate transit had broken down twice and was guttless . and yes i had bought an ldv and if you really try hard and read the whole thread you will see that it lasted less then 48 hours and was sent back to where in which it came from !!! this is why i have stated in the post in which you make refrence to that i am looking for another truck but not sure what yet !!!! i hope that this clarifies my origional post:001_tt2:
  12. combined tree services
    yup had that one , the guy worked for me for 18 months and by the end he was exactly like that . thank god the misserable little sod left and whent back up to where he came from !!!
  13. combined tree services
    i have had a 55 plate transit for a while and to be honest i would stick with the old transits mate , like you said a couple grand more for cup holders does not really make sense . im also looking for another tipper but do not knows what to go for .
  14. combined tree services
    yeah he sold it , i was guted i was out bid at the last min
  15. combined tree services
    well said shrek , i stopped climbing for a bit as i was busy looking at work and surveying etc etc im now back climbing every day and at first i found it realy hard at first and like you said it was much harder holding your self in positons with your legs and quite often i found myself relying on more and more kit but now my fitness has nearly got back to what it was before im finding climbing much easyer again and all the gismos i have bought now make it even easyer . but still at 17 stone i thing weight loss is the next hurdle
  16. combined tree services
    hmmm maybe the samson is another rope i will have to think about buying , i tend to climb either on a Lock Jack , distel or a swabish and im reallly not sure which rope to go for
  17. combined tree services
    so true mate , and also no need for timber crane lol
  18. combined tree services
    has anyone tried the Patron Access 11 or the Samson Gold rope ??
  19. combined tree services
    i used to do nearly the same warm up but i found it hard to do and eat a full english breaky lmao
  20. combined tree services
    how about the samson ropes ?? the arbor master is meant to be a great rope with zero thretch , i have not personally used it much at all but one of my climbers does and he seems to really really like it , i offered to buy him a tachyon up at the aa show and was supprised when he said that he would rather stick with his samon rope
  21. combined tree services

  22. combined tree services

  23. combined tree services
    i personally would go for my street works tickets which includes traffic management etc and maybe if your still looking for work then see which agency your local councils are using !!! if you were in cornwall i would see if you fancied a trial mate:biggrin:

    500 4 fingured chin ups followed by 150 press ups ballencing on your toes and fingertips , 100 situps followed by a 3 mile run every day . then the missus wakes me up tells me the allarm has been going off for half hour so i get out of bed have a cup of coffe and bacon sandwhich and then its off to work lol . but in all honesty i really should get back to the gym !!!
  25. combined tree services
