  1. would anyone elts be interested in a prtical workshop ?
  2. No it still would not be fine , there is only one situation that you can trust a coated powerline and that is whats known as a concentric or a service wire IE a single wire that runns from the pole to the house .
  3. after studdying at merrist wood back in 2003 (ten weeker) i am also looking to further my academic knowledge . would the dip arb course be the next step or ???
  4. ha ha maybe not cornwall - maybe somewhere a bit more central like cirencester ? but its only an idea
  5. i was thinking more along the lines of seeing if it was possible to set up a series of practical work shops for AT members
  6. as Huck said the pvc coating on ABC is still not clased as an insulated wire and the same precautions should be taken when working within porximity to them .
  7. i was wondering if the merc that you had also had the option to fit a pto . ?
  8. i agree something like a pto bandit250 with hiab would be very nice indeed .
  9. that makes sense , but if a day or weekends practical seminar was to be organised it would need to be both aimed at climbers that do not hold cs41 , maybe something could be arranged though
  10. would anyone be interested in th possibility of a days practical riging workshop if it could be arranged ?
  11. I have been thinking about the idea of mounting a crane and chiper onto a lorry . Would it not be possible to buy a 10 ton lorry to mount the chiper & crane to and then aply to register as either specialist plant or to apply to have it registered to a restricted load ?
  12. nope not had any problems , i run lots of husky's and other then a problem with the husky57 carbs i can not complain - and husky replaced the carbs free of charge , unlikt stihl that expect you to buy the carbs to fix an ms200. As long as the new husky climbing saw is as good as the ms200 i will not be buying another stihl
  13. Why not ?
  14. not sure if it has already been said but if you are not experienced in identifying the voltage of a powerline , and not sure of what you can and cant do within proximity to them then i would be staying well clear of them , if it goes wrong even with LV you will get badly burnt and possibly end your carrer as a tree surgeon early . and possibly end up in a whole load of grief with the local utility firm
  15. personally the husky winns hands down , much more torque and i find them far more comfortable .
  16. Just thought i would congratulate tommer on the passing of cs 40 and 41 . Well done mate . hope tommer junior did not bend your ear too much earlyer
  17. to be honest if you need that sort of capacity and have it as your only truck then i would not bother.
  18. i know of a couple guys in the helston / pemzance area with the tickets and may need some work if it helps !!!
  19. nope all that comes up is a pic of your wife . i really must get some compuer lessons ha ha
  20. The capacity is fairly good Mark , as for the lockers they are biult into the tipper . the great thing about having a truck like this is that you can get into smaller sights or areas where acess is only a little wider than a foot path . we use ours along side the unimog to carry kit and timber but from time to time we stick a cipper behind it and get into areas that most other firms with a transit can not get to . i personally would say that it is a worthwhile tool .
  21. what sort of money is he wantin for it ?
  22. we use a single cab ranger tipper and can not fault it , it spends 4 out of 5 days off road and gets a fair bit of abuse . the tipper is fitted with a tool box but still it is a work horse and a really usefull bit of kit
  23. I can see what you mean BUT Road tax and insurance are 100% tax deductable , i would have thought that it would be cheaper to run arround in a small car (with more than two seats) . A landrover is a great piece of kit of you need 4x4 and spend a fair bit of time off road but 110 tipper does not carry as much chip (volume) as a canter . personally if you dont really need one then i would not bother with one
  24. heavy on fuel , uncomfortable and cramped at the best of times (if you over 5"8) . parts are cheap but drivng round in it socialy and for quoting work aint cheap . my advice would be to stick to the Canter and get a small car/ commercial - something like a peugot 306 commercial ?
  25. not sure if it has already been said but i would have a good look at the new VW 4x4 pickup , from what im told it is meant to be a really good bit of kit !!!!
