    they are ok i guess but depends on the type of tree work your doing , i do alot of LA work and the bigger end of domestic works so i have a slightly larger timberwolf but for smaller private work , line clearence work etc they are not too bad

    i have the tw 190 non turbo and yes it is well worth doing , i was quoted £14500 at the aa show yesterday from lister wilder , may be worth giving them a call but yeah now i have had a 190 i would never ever use a smaller chiper

    i would wait and get a newer chipper where parts are more common , if you hang on a few weeks tere may be a load of jensen chippers being sold by fountains as i was told by mike at the green mech stand today thatfountains have just placed an order with them for arround 28 new chipers. may be worth a try , failing that keep looking on earborist , there is normally a bargaint to be had on there

    i bought a stein hat with peltor ear defenders and was not impressed with the 4 self tapping screws to screw the ear defenders on with tbh , and to make it eeven worse i bought a pair of strech air trousers and the stitching looks really dodgy . any way it was great to meet some of you today , role on the next get together

    i think when people say outdated they really mean not what they prefer , i was told my method of climbing on a prussik was outdated but it has its place , i dont see the point in using my lock jack on a 30 foot tree tbh . neither can i be bothered to tie anything more that a prussik for a small job lol

    but as my LA found out when trying to use the hedgerow legislation the question brought up by the TREE/HEDGEROW owners legal representation was - when or how do you distinguish betwene a hedgerow ond a group of trees ? they felt that because the trees had been allowed to grow without being trimmed etc that they were there fore a stand of trees thus meaning that they were not included under the act and that they would not be made to cut them back or keep them as a hedge . the outcum was that the LA backed down !

    well my advice to you is to find an english language site if it gets to you that much lol , bit of O.C.D there i think !

    climbing from both ends of your rope does have its place but i prefer to climb with one main line with a 10 meter short rope oh and carry a strop as well , it makes qetting into the tree faster and quiet often having that short rope can really aid you when getting out on a long branch , one of my ex staff would only climb on one end of his rope and a 2 meter strop , the shame was that he was not working at a productive pace at all whic then led to him trying to take short cuts when cutting . its all about striking a ballence when climbing

    i could not agree more , i had the same problem with the way one of my groundsmen were lowering so i talked him through it calmly , that way he didnt get flusterd by me it took time but we built up confidence in each other and now work as a team ,

  23. combined tree services
    oh righ cool i had only ever heard of bartlets doing it glad there is a local company doing it
  24. combined tree services
    i would agree guys , you should not ned to provide your own saw at college and if you are expected to do so then i would find a better college to go to that can provide the equipment, whos to say that you find you dont like tree surgery and that your now left with a load of expensiv kit thats of no use to you , take your time mate
