combined tree services

To be honest i was only lookin at the job from a crane point of view and if it could be done with a crane

as much as pictures are not alot to go by i would say that if you have access to a big chipper (9 inches minimum), three decent groundsmen , a couple lorries to take timber and chipawayand someone who has experience with crane jobs then that tree should only take a morning to get down and maybe the rest of the day to clean up etc , this would give you time and a chance to have a go at crane work whilst under the watchfull eye of someone experienced . Hope this helps

How about the M25 then

the last crane job that we did cost £986 per day for an 80 ton crane - this allowed us to lift up to 1.25 tons 35 meters away from the crane , BUT my honest advice is get someone on who has done a crane job before , there is alot that can go wrong and unless you know how to set the slings up for specific lift situations then there is a real chance it is goging to take you longer and you run the risk of a lift going wrong and trust me Crane drivers are not keen on lifts going wrong at all . My honest advice is to get a climber in who has carried out cran work before , see how it is done and the methods used . this will save time and could result in you only needing a crane on site for half a day as opposed to a day - this in turn will save you money and sand you a better chance of winning the quote . I hope this makes sense and i really do not mean to soun harsh and do not intend to put you down BUT crane work is some of the most tricky and dangerous work you will probably ever get to do in this industry . Cheers Dave

A company that i sub contract too has bought several and a few of the guys using them are already complaining that they wont tick over as they should , the saw is sluggish and runns lumpy and several of the gys have said that they can be a pain in the arse to start . i really hope that the Auto tune system was not baised on the work ethick of most teenagers in the uk !!! lol

to be honest there is not much we can imput without some pictures of the site etc , the distance from crane to tree will depend what size crane you need etc etc there is alot to take into considderation when looking at a crane job , have you ever been involved with a crane job before ?

hmmm were you working on a roadside , you left the saw on the pavement to pull the truck and chipper forwards or reverse it and you didnt realise thet the bar of the saw had swung round out over the road and you drove over it

Well i had a play on a 560 and was not at all impressed , the auto tune system works that well that the saw would not tick over and was a right pain in the arse to start !!! so i tried another 560 and that too ran pretty badly but did run enough for me to use it and see what i thought - And to be honest i think i prefer my 357xp

Clear a decent size area , attach Wire rope - attach to unimog and drive off lol . seriously though i think it is all dependent on the situation , often we are sent to jobs where a tree has been blown over and brought the powerlines to the floor without the lines breaking - to the point that two-three poles either side are bending so honestly every tree and every situation can end up with a different sequence of how and what we do to get the tree safely on the ground

WELL !!!!!

to be honest i have found them to be really helpfull , to be honest they dont really help with the actuall weight loss but more a case that they aid in helping you maintain muscle growth when your specificly aiming to lose body fat . but on the whole i have found that my body fat has gone down and at first my weight dropped but as i have been training more i have seen a slight increase in weight . but honestly i would reccomend using them alongside a good healthy bllenced diet and regular exercise (gym trainng)

oh right cool , where abouts in cornwall was he ? , the gym i go to charges for BMI assessments , i bet your brother was not overly impressed !

Yeah that is a good point Huck , i know that down here the costs for that method are quite high but still the calculation does not take into account skeleatal structure and % of muscle

, BMI really does now work , using body fat callopers is really the only accurate way to see what your BMI is

Yeah this is true Judge , also i have found that now im using Yale Imori (poison Ivy) im not going through as many , 1 so far this year !

Hmm im 1.87 meters (6ft2) if that helps .

WELL !!!! i just jumed on the scales and im weighing 100kg - Propper Fat Boy !! ha ha

Bailer twine and a couple safety pins lol ! Now being serious i currently use Yale Imori and a Lock Jack positioner

this is something i had trouble with but then thought about how much hitch chord i used to go through - Lock Jack clutch works out cheeper every time

Give Pete b a shout on here and see if there green mech multi task is still available to hire , if your not sure what it is then have a look on the classifides (i think its on there) Any way if i had 75 grand i would buy it for line clearence

sorry Mr Blair beat me too it .

we run a Junkkari 10 inch chipper on out 1600 unimog (160hp) we run the chipper on 1000 pto on low revs , this was the advice form a green mech rep at the time i was looking to buy a new chipper , i have not read the whole thread but feel i should ask is the chipper direct drive or belt driven ?

But would you not be woking for a firm with french insurance cover ? a friend of mine went over to france to work but found that his P/L and E/L did not stand and that there were no terms to state that the insurace was valid outside of the uk , so in theory if this is the case and you are working under french insurance you should comply with what ever the insurance states ie- certification of compitence , uk certs - etc etc

Maybe dress him up in a chainsaw jacket as well just for good measure , personally i would send him on another chainsaw course at the very least and most certainly would get him working with an experienced cutter with the hpe he may learn something . As Steven Blair said - chainsw gloves are not mandatory and if you turn up without them on a chainsaw course then as long as you have a pair of gloves(with an elasticated wrist band) then there is no issue , i bought several pairs of chainsaw gloves recently only for me and my two guys to be told by the assessor that they were not mandatory and infact it ws found that in wet conditions they can be more of a hazard than not wearing them .

having worn a pair i would not recomend them , the fabric is no where near as durable as any other of the Stretch Air trousers , they are far to heavy and hot and personally for the price that they sell for i would expect much much more
