    we will be cuting the main stem into 9 inch rings because they will weigh roughly one ton at that size lol whilst in the tre i aim to cut it as big as the crane driver will lift , but with the lack of access for him i boubt it will be that much

    i guess there will be around 50 cuts with the 880 while in the tree and probably another 100 on the ground (at a guess) . the pine is nearly 9 foot accros at the base and even wider at about 35 foot ?? hope mr hse aint in the area lol if he is he can come and have an insight into our world

    im using stihl hand held blowers and cant fault them to be honest . we also have a back pack blower we use for bigger jobs and thats also a stihl , im told the new blowers that stihl do are meant to be even better

    we did 2 palms today . out timberwolf tw190 chipped it without a problem but from what green mec said , palm is meant to blunt chipper blades really quickly ??? not sure what the truth in that was

    i wonder what the allowed perioud of work with an ms880 from a set of spikes would be , i have a job to do this week with a crane and there would be no way i would come down once i had started untill the tree was down , if i worked by hse reg's i would need the crane to be there for 2 days minimum, if my clients are like anyone else's clients they want the job done in as little time as possible with the least cost's . i think the hse should spend more time trying to stop the cowboys and pikeys rather than picking on the decent companys that try to do as much by the book as possible . sorry for ranting on but this sort of thing really really really pi sses me off

    what you need is a pocket full of ladybirds , that would sort them out
  15. combined tree services
    does the type of timber being cut come into it ?? if so i would be inclined to test them on lime or pop
  16. combined tree services
    yeah i guess they are meant to but are they going to on this matter ??? how many guys do you employ ???? surely anti vibe chainsaw gloves would allow us to work for much longer on the ground with a saw ???

    did you keep the bit about regular staff beetings untill productivity improves shrek lol

    i realy think that this is something that tree surgeons need to all get together and have such a daft rule got rid of , look where trying to bann the ms200 got them , i find it hard to understand how a bunch of office jockeys that have probably never done the job can make such a decision . my locall council would find another contractor if i said that my team had used its allowed exposure time and that the rest of the tree thats keeping a main road closed will have to stay closed untill tomorrow !!!!!

    i stronly intend to carry on working in the way in which every decent tree surgeon has done for many years . i run my own small company and if i were to comply with hse demands then my company would fold , how am i meant to cary out half a reduction or in fact how am i meant to ring down half a masive pine stem because myself and the other climber have used our allowed exposure time , frankly its a big pile of crap ? nothing stops the woman next door using her rabbit for hours on end , think of the dammage thats doing to her !!!!!

    hi looks like an fromidable option , whats the price tag ??
  23. combined tree services
    it the tree that you are cutting is over hanging rail track equipment or properties then contact rail track as they will prosicute anyone found working on trees that interfere with ther track or equipment , as for powerlines every worker in the arb industry should be trained to identify basic equipment
