  1. out of the last 4 pairs i have bought i have had to send 3 pairs back now , only two pairs were worn by me , the other pair were for a member of staff . As for you tommer i guess you must have had a decent pair
  2. hiya chaps , roughly 6 months ago i bought a pair of Haix Protector Extreme's and guess what ???? the soles have started to fall off , the bonded rubber tha joins the upper leather to the sole is splitting and from day one the log walking spikes in the soles of the boots would not come out . so i speak to WorkWear and i get asked to send them an email with all the info about the boots with pics and they MAY be able to do something about the problems . Are any of you guys having the same problem with these boots and ave any of you guys lost faith in these boots ? unless i recieve a new pair i do not think i will be having another haix product again :thumbdown:

  19. Personally i fell that many Tree Surgeons are full of their own self importance, with a view that the only way to manage trees are the methouds outlined by fellow Arborists and Arboricultural pioneers , but in all honesty us Tree Surgeons/ Arborists have only really been arround for the last 35-40 years in this country that im aware of . Previously trees were managed by farmers and landowners woodmen in whch there were far more trees being planted than there were being felled , i believe this is down to the fact that trees were only then taken down if they were in a dangerous condition , dieing or dead , nowadays it is felt to be acceptable to take trees down for any number of reasons such as - it is blocking my Sky signal , it sheds to many leaves , i like the tree but not where it is , it is blocking the light out of my spare room , i wish to build an extension or plain and simply because i dont like it ! , and its us that are wiling in most cases to carry out the work to fulfill our own finacial need . As Ted Green once said to me - Humans need Trees but trees do not need humans ! .
  20. yeah im sure your local stihl dealer will be able to help you , i dont have the model no and make to hane but im sure someone on here will be able to help
  21. sounds like a carb problem , saws do not tend to go that far out of tune overnight no matter how bumpy the ride home was the day before , however are you using new fuel , or using someone elts fuel? , im sure you have but have you checked the air filter and fuel filter ? also you may well have a minute hole in the fuel pipe which is letting to much air in , if you have tried all of them then i would be almost sure that it was a carb fault , you will need to get the make and model of the carb which is clearly stamped on the side of the car (PITA to get to mind) give stihl techniquical a ring and give them the make and model number of the carb , they will soon let you know if its the duff carb that they seem to have carried on fitting in the ms200 even though they know its a wrongun , oh and unlike Husky you will have to pay for a replacement. hope this is of use to you
  22. i had the sales woman and a bloke come out to see me , i thought i would get the usuall sales patter - hits per month , can you handle the amount of work the book will create etc etc , but what really got my attention was when they showed me a package where they will build a web site for free , put an add in the book , allow me several title serches on the net and several other bits , i wanted to know who will own the site etc etc and it turns out that it would benifit me alot so i have gone with it . last time i advertised in the book i did really well
  23. i have fewer than five staff but we still carry out a site specific RA on all jobs and where needed a method statment , we also have a full H&S policy with accompanying COSH assessments and all SOP's/ Method statements , the law may say that if you have less than five employes then you do not have to fill out a written site RA but you must carry out a verbal site RA , but it all honesty if a customer asks for a H&S policy then i would be inclined to provide one Regardles
  24. im currently using a Lock Jack with ART Rope guide with Poison ivy rope - minly used on bigger work with lots of branch walking and moving round within the crown , for smaller work and line work im using a Distel using Ocean pollyester on a Marlow Chamelion rope and where needed either the Art friction saver or a standard cambium saver , oh and both setups are used with a 5 meter adjustable strop . i tried the vt several times but i really really can not get on with it at all
  25. great job Reg .how do you find the husky 338 ?? what size crane were you using ?
