If you look on the Adventures In Education web site they have listings

If your sharpening the blades that often, have they gone past the minimun wear limit? if they have bits of wood can get between the flywheel and blade and 'jack' them off? We also had problems with pattern blades, so now all machines of any make get genuine parts only.
-
I must agree with mesterh, the roots (to a certain extent) are independant and will still grow, depending on the extent of pruning, as epicormic growth shoots up after pruning?
-
We have done a deal with a family who have a large coal round, but Im speaking from personal experience, and you must admit, after a day working, getting soaked through its nice to come into a nice warm radiator and no ash to arse about with?
-
does anyone else think the arse might fall out of the log market? I think its one of the cycle things, eveyone has jumped on the band wagon, most cant remember the days of no central heating and only a couple fires in the house, and they think its quant to have an open fire?
-
wish i could justify buying it just to throw in the cupboard!
-
Good advice!
-
if you ask the college they should be able to provide you with a list, mines at work. cs31_assessment_schedule_nov09zz.pdf cs30_maintain_and_operate_the_chain_saw_as_oct06.pdf

Myerscough college should provide everything you need except PPE
-
try going on the NPTC web site you will find info on the assessment criteria, but a good instructor should have you upto speed in no time
-
If you log onto lantra-awards.co.uk you should be able to find one, if it wont let you message me and i will log in and find you one.

Beech roots give out a supressant (cant remember what its called tho!)
-
As john said, compare dicotyledon to monocotyledon? different types of tree species, eg. poplar vascular system against sycamore?
-
AYE!
-
No probs then, all friends?
-
If it was deleted how did it re-appear then? (Im not a computer type person!)
-
How did I reinstate it? I thought you had removed the 'swear word' and I just put the **** to show what I said, sorry bout the missunderstanding.
-
As the bosses say ..............Im not a people person! but believe it or not, when Im running a course, I love people! strange eh?
-
Are you thick? a T/W dealer (senior management) said ' they might be, **** but they are cheap' ??? make of that what you want
-
haha, daft gets!
-
Just needed the auto stress adjusting. takes a couple minutes. The rollers on the T/W are still square though, so that would always put us off. Certain chipper models/makes do prefer different produce, some throw brash further, some timber.
-
I never mentioned gerald, My experience of T/W was prior to being a dealer and its off comments from a dealer of T/W, did I mention greenmech?
-
We used to run T/W150's and got that sick of them breaking down we swapped to Jensen and schiesling's, and never had a fraction of the problems. Does ratner ring a bell?

NPTC chipper opporations Weekend course ??
john@arbtech replied to Littletree's topic in Training & education
The 'hand over' manufacturers 'training' is not hse compliant, I know Lantra and NPTC both are as I have recently had meetings with a HSE inspector, so I know this is certainly his oppinion too. After a recent accident where an operative lost his arm I did some training and 'quote' we have just had training, what the f**k are we wasting our time here for, it took the fire brigade and the companys fitters nearly an hour to free the lad, I showed them how to do it in under a minute, how now to get 'whipped' etc, what can you learn in an hour?............The lads came after the course and admitted that it was very worthwhile doing the course. If you check out the AFAG guide 805, 'training required, but not certificate of competance'......Recognised training and NPTC certification IS available -- not required
