    looks really impressive mate . cant wait untill someone does a version with a harvestor head on ha ha ha , only messing but i bet they make small woodland work alot easyer than trying to fit a forwarder in of having to catty timber to the end of the rack !!

    same oppinion mate , if your working for them and you hace the cscs ticket and they dont then it is pointles and if for anyreason your working on a site where it is required and your the only one with it you could end up having to take full responsibility . personally i think that we are tree surgeons and not part of the construction indutry what so ever , there are far better ways of getting work as a subby , what tickets do you have so far mate ?

    most of the cscs is irelivent to this industry mate , and to be honest if your working on sited that require it then i would guessthat you will have to update your H&S policies and your R/A's . personally i dont feel that it is worht the grief mate

    im sure you will get a job jay , the driving bit may hold you back but im sure if you are a good climber and willing to work hard without doing anything daft on your weeks trial you will be snapped up . im still looking for a college leaver to come and work for me but down in cornwall they are hard to come by !!!!!!

    whn you leave your flask at home and the customer decides that you are not worthy of a cut of tea all day long even though you are busting your balls taking a tree down at the bottom of a terraced garden with a hideous drag back to the top !!!!!

    i thing i would use Q.T.R.A for a situation like this , why not qtra assess it as it stands and then re assess it as if it were to have a cobra brace , the evaluate your findings and see if the tree could be retained ?? this is only an idea tho , i have been thinking about doing the QTRA course but dont think that many courses are ever held down this way !!!

    i used to work for a company called Celtic Rock , my job there was taking trees and other vegitation off of rock faces befort they drill, bolt and mesh the rock faces to stabalise them . personally i would recomend getting a geolicical / structural enginer in to have a look but it will not be cheep at all . good luck mate

    i personally would brace the tree and give the tree a small weight reduction either by an overall reduction or by thinning , at least this way you have done everything you can to guard against failure . but i do agree that this is a tricky situation to be in .

    the guys that work for me are self employed and if the weather is that bad we cant work then i will find something for them all to do whether it be logs or saw cleaning and general yard work there is a;lways something for them to do , i have been a contract climber and know how tough it can be when you have 3 bad days in a week and earn nothing at all so i try to make sure there is something we can all do !

    i buy all of my chains from brandon hire in penzance , they give me 20-25% discount off of all bars and chains that i buy , and what makes it even better is they can order chains for any of my husky or stihl chains from still whicn normally get delivered the next day , and stihl chain on a husky saw is just as good as any other chain . alot of dealers do no realise or let there customers know that they can buy chain for husky, tanaka , makita and a few othera from stihl . as a rough guide i pay £11 for chains to fit my ms200t

    long gaffs tend to help as well if your taking them down !! i have one in a few weeks once the crows have left it alone !!!

    the problem with the road signs that go on road cones do not stand up to windy weather well at all , however if you are working on a site for a short period of time then they are quite good to be honest , i have seen the local council using them and they seem to get on with them . i tend to use the fold up road signs with added balest bags to stop them blowing away . oh and as for the roas signs that go over cones they are not meant to be used on any road with a speed limmit of more than 30mph . oh and are not intended to be used over night either as they do not meet reflective standards. hope this helps mate

  25. combined tree services
    i was under the impression that you should always have a "back up " or secondary anchor point when working in a tree as well ! if this is the case then whay it the problem with the snap hook ?? i know what your saying and not personally aving a go at you but you have to admit it does seem a bit daft
