    on the pluss side your kit stays dry and when you leave your truck your kit is securly locked away , on the negative side the dont carry quite as much chip . oh and the other BIG pluss is that you can recline yor seat so your not sat bolt upright and you can get some shut eye should you wish to at lunch time !

    but still how are they allowed to use a man basket ?? when using the crane i have asked the opperator to stop the cranes hook from opening and they will do this . also crane drivers and crane companies are trained and taught and qualified to inspect the crane prior to use and after use . i was lucky enough to have a go at opperating a crane only two weeks ago , i was amazed how much technology there is in a crane's cab !!

    after reading all of the posts on here about chipper training i feel that there is almos an arrogance about training , traners and tranises , i saw first hand what can happen to a person that trys to kick brush/timber through a chipper - the lad lost his leg , all of the muscle, flesh, tendons etc were stripped by the feed rolers as he had his hands and other leg trying to pull himself back out . i dont know how many times i see people sitting on the hopper while the machine is still running . also is it not a good idea to teach people that know nothing about chippers why they should not feed rakings through the chipper or why they should trim off the ends of branches that are covered in soil or have bits of tarmac stuck to the end where the branch has it the floor but end first ??? in the end it will save all of us chipper owners alot of time and money !!!

    most of our work is from several LA's and other large organisations, most of the work is reductions ,thins , dead wooding oh and felling shed loads of pines and macrocarpas , but the work is really varied , whats your most common work up there mark oh and forgot to mention riding on crane hooks

    the crane companies R/A allowed it and so did mine i used a cambium saver with a rub safe guard to ensuer there was no abrasion to rope or cambium saver but yeah i would expect they would not like it
  17. combined tree services
    i have spoken to two crane companies and there take on this was that as long as the cranes lifting hook does not come into contact with the tree and that you make your decent into the tree using your rope system there is actuall nothing wrong with it as long as the cranes hook can not open . secondly there is no LAW against it , as long as your kit is LOLER'd and the crane driver is happy to cive you a lift . have a think about how they are allowed to use a man basket from a crane ????

    well said steve , i have done 2 days utility work in the last 4-5 months and they were only for booked shut downs , nothing against the guys that do the job full time but it is not my ideal kind of work to be doing
  21. combined tree services
    i run my own tree surgery company and like you i enjoy the arboricultural side of the job , i was offered some subbing work for a utilitty company and took it , i dont really enjoy the work anywhere near as much but it does earn me money , there is plenty of it when i need it and the way i see it is that at least if im doing it im doing it to the best of my abillity rather than some of the hack and slash work i have seen , pluss its a great way to pick up private work !
  22. combined tree services

  24. combined tree services
