  1. yeah it will be a big shame to fell i but it has been diseased with sparassis crispa for the last 12-15 years. my ms880 with 48 inch bar looks like a toy when put beside the base of the tree
  2. since the limb failed (one of the smaller limbs on the left hand side ) the owners have decided it poses way to much risk to the youth hostle and camping area so they are now wanting me to fell it . the question a asked my self is HOW lol but should be great fun
  3. i had to climb up it yesterday to take off a limb that failed , i got my rope anchored half way up the tree as the limb i had to work on was low down and small in comparison to the rest of the tree but never the less my 45 meter rope was only just big enough with about 2-3 meters spare , i meet the tree officer tomorrow morning to see if we have to fell it !
  4. here is a tree i have recently been asked to carry out some work on by one of our contract clients , please feel free to add pictures of other big trees lol
  5. here is a pine tree i have recently been asked to carry out some work on , mainly dead wooding and re- bracing my 45 meterrope is not even nearly long enough lol
  6. to be honest the wage is ok for most cornish tree surgeons as most of them aint got a clue what they are doing and dont deserv paying any more !! when i moved back down from guildford i started working for a well known local company and was amazed at how out of date and out of touch they were , hense i went off on my own .
  7. hello tris hows you ??? glad to hear its still going well , hows the new boy going

  8. strech airs all the way , i have type a and type c's and really highly rate them , i got fed up of stihl and huskys crap trousers and went over to strech airs , as long as they keep making there trousers like they do i will keep buying them , they may be more costly but much better to work in and last much much longer jonesie has been doing some good deals on them as well

  15. i would be inclined to use a crane or M.E.W.P if the guy does not want do get either one in i would expalin about the time it would save in any case and that he is actually truning down an honest buisnesman thats trying to save him money oh and looking out for his own life , good luck mate
  16. i too would say that because its red it will go further when thrown but it also makes a great door stop , as for using it for tree work i would give up and get a ms200 , im currently buying then for £340. inc vat in the uk
  17. contact DVLA i had a similar problem with my lift platform , the seller in my case was correct and even tho it has a tacho it does not require an opperators liscense , however it does require you to have catagory c1 to drive it or pree 1997 liscense hope this helps you
  18. within my company we have discussed type c over type a and decided that it is down to the climber at the end of the day and as long as the R/A supports wearing type a trousers then it will be deemed acceptable , however when looking for type a trousers we came accros the sip fredom 2 trousers , they are light , flexible , hard wearing and have protection all round on the lower leg , i stronly reccomend that anyone thinking about climbing in type A's to try the sip freedom 2's
  19. hi , i run a tree surgery company down in cornwall and since being down here have lost touch with whats hapening in the industry hence why im wondering if anyone knows anything about an update to BS3998 and if so what has been added or changed , can anyone help ???? many thanks ,Dave
