TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX

Mate to continue about one handed use is pointless you just stated you do it yourself and it was a single branch in this video that i one handed this a waste of typing imo. To say its unprofessional makes me die of laughter i watch you tube videos of the best tree surgeons in our country do it, i can guarantee there is not a single tree surgeon on earth that does or has not done it and im using a camera because its wifi remote very quick and easy to use lol. how ever your have a point but i think you misunderstood mine, i dont use a saw one handed for any other reason than it makes my job easier, safer and faster im not talking bout every cut im talking about the cuts that are very difficult to reach with two hands. For example today on the latest job we did for me to balance on a weak branch above a conservatory with very poor footing due to branch pattern it would be very dangerous for me to use two hands, as soon as the branch drops if it knocks me ill slip where as with one hand tending my rope i can stabilise my footing and account for any shock load caused from knocking as the cut branch drops. I hope we have cleared that up and you have been educated.

lol we had only two branches require assistance mr b i suggest you no longer visit our channel and do something usefull with your time ! I did look at your channel and all americans seem any good at is felling from the base with an entire field of room the minute you have anything remotely close to the tree you use bucket trucks (women elevators) And how many number 1 rules have i herd you say surely this must be number 20 ? lol [ame] [/ame] Now whos the one hand bandit ! the only thing cool here is the music miowwwww

Well said I started running my biz at 18 and at 27 now im along way from owning all the pearls of wisdom, but im never afraid to put my work up for scrutiny as you can see i generate a decent response on arbtalk be it bad or good is not important, what is important is the knowledge you learn from it.

Your are right to an extend mate i just allow my guys a little slack when i know there perfectly safe, Sometimes when rigging there lids fall off i cant always watch everything I wont lie i will never stop one hand use as i feel sometimes its a much safer option than trying to get into dangerous positions to use two hands, an remember my life is far more important than me being lazy i make sure when using the saw with one hand i account for kick back, chain snatch, and make sure my grip is accurate, my head is out of the kick back zone and touch wood in 10 years i have never had an incident. But its a pleasure to discuss these things with you im not a know all im a learn as much as you can and make your own mind up We are in the risk limitation business, its an inherently risky job and we all have an individual method which i hope serves each person well

Interesting every branch is rigged so no one is in danger period and for 2-3 cuts im hardly going to give them a written warning that's overkill !. But i appreciate that's how you do things. I believe i one handed once or twice in this edit lol which as im sure you know is allowed as part of cs39 training, but of course you know Regarding the pollard, this is the first stage of a complete removal again this is not my spec this is from a structural engineer whom i would not even pretend to know more than so there is no point me talking about that I take no offence mate like i said this is not my spec we are employed to carry out tree surgery as our customers instruct, Our videos are to show our professional ability to remove large trees over houses and conservatory's which we do very well, we have a very happy customer and some very happy neighbours, my teamed worked efficiently and we don't break things.

Our latest video almost getting the hang of the editing Before you melts bang on yes one of the grounds men is not wearing his skid lid, what can you do you can only throw so many logs at them . And its a pollard stop worrying about it, i don't choose the haircut im just the stylist . Structural engineer does the advising. discuss, debate, most of all enjoy:thumbup:

I use a 3.9 ghz i7 16gb ram and sometimes that takes awhile with 1080p stuff on my gopro, so should work just abit slower, go for the hero 3 black edition it's a no brainer check out my Chanel on you tube for quality and I use windows 8 movie maker it's simple and easy no frills editing

Decent response we all do have our own idea of how it's done, as long as we all go home it's been a good day

Appreciate the honesty Mark I chose not to use spikes as I only use them when I absolutely need to, spikes can be an added danger to the climber and for this small tree it would have been a hindrance not a help. I hate silky saws I find them more dangerous than a chainsaw, jabbed my knuckle once that's was enough Jonny care to expand on that I must have missed the memo on essex arbs other than our endearing accent Nice one KJ tho excessive use is a little vague, I'm sure we all have a different idea on that one A handy use of one handing is for those angry squirrels that don't appreciate us evicting them when is the training for that one

mr b I would love to cut trees in new York but bucket trucks well that is just for big sissy's ding ding. Speed and safety are a balance any tree surgeon working in the commercial and domestic market must weight up, if your slow you will not survive in Essex as someone else will undercut you and out run you I think my back would suffer far more than my elbows have you tried to tip prune a tree with two hands on the saw, where do you hold on ? Dont you think working the rope is the biggest cause of tennis elbow, after all a topper is light and the vibes with gloves are not an issue ? as for kick back from one handing well touch wood I must be lucky. But this is good debate is interesting i have my ways but i like to hear other peoples, Plus people view the channel BONUS

Fair enough point but the other hand is normally on the line keeping me stable i like my way i know my body and i know what works for me. I use one hand and both hands to suit me and as for elbows im sure benching heavy at the gym will cause me problems long before a 3.5 kg saw does And i agree very happy with the go pro good choice It does make me chuckle you could do a perfect video and someone would find a fault, your saws to blunt, your helmets to orange, your make-up is running haha ahhh tree surgeons are like women when it comes to other tree surgeons little bitches.

I did not need them i had this tree on the ground in under an hour And to Mr B yes on cs39, as for one handed use well you would be the first tree surgeon I have ever known of to always use both hands, your body must be ruined trying to place your self on the end of a 3 inch branch to get two hands on the saw for a pruning cut ?. I would blow you out of the water on speed / Production of work and my reductions come out excellent. I bet you must charge an enormous amount being so slow two handing every cut although your right super safe

Check out our latest small fell excuse the editing still a newbie.

The spec was up to 50% and I tried to be sympathetic to the tree I'd say it was both a reduction and pollard not all branch ends could have growth junctions so made the best of what was asked of me The tree had severely overgrown 3 neighbours gardens and all wanted more off but I tried to explain about retaining the best shape possible and they agreed other wise it would of been a big pollard. I do believe ultimately they are removing the tree due to close proximity of the garage and spreading the cost which makes sense. and thanks for the compliment re the felling of the pine I think a standard cut with wedge would of been just fine, now and then I just fanny around with different cuts

The books are on the decline, yell.com total pony ! Internet was ok but with hundreds of company's now on there it's becoming like the books extreamly diluted and you have to spend a fortune trying to stay on top again becoming like the books pay more get in front the never ending expense. Im just glad I started in 2005 and built up a client base with recommendations before the 2008 beginning of the end of easy money

I wonder how many company's are advertising qualified and don't actually have any ?.

End result looked very good considering the awkward shape of the tree but i was using my go pro so no picture unfortunately. Yep the stein bollard is a great bit of kit without the crazy high price of a hobbs or grcs as good as they are

Latest job reducing a euc that over grew 4 gardens, greenhouses, sheds, fences the usual fun stuff

I have an 08 Chassis35 S12 means 3.5 ton and 120bhp which is actually 116bhp not sure if the Older ones use the same engine, pisses all over a transit more reliable far more power like for like and it drives so much nicer pulls easier feels more like a car where as transits feel like driving an asmatic tractor they have poor ground clearance tho and when steering there not as sharp as I would like due to the way the front suspension is designed ( bloody odd ) Get one with an ally body and IMO best 3.5 ton available

To be a successful tree surgeon you need to be good with trees ! To be a successful tree company you need to be good with people !

It's not hard to replace but I'd expect a new charge coil to cost upto £100 plus, just need to remove front cover maybe few other bits and unbolt it if its the charge coil that's gone get a tester and spin it over

hi does the 125 have something like this other than the oil alert ? or is it bang poof

I brought a 2001 Tw125 faultless nothing ever broke apart from servicing items etc, then purchased a brand new 2011 Tw125 its only problem is the silicon from the plastic tanks keeps Blocking the fuel filter Fk en annoying ! Blades are silly easy to change takes 10minutes the hardest part is cleaning the crap out if the bolts. Service or repairs are brilliant fast delivery spares ready no waiting etc. I can strip the machine down to the flywheel very handy, cheap as I don't need to pay someone to do it for me. The Honda engine on my one is petrol 10p a litre cheaper ATM chips a full truck within 30 mins with a properly stacked pile. For the cost of the machine I think it's the best machine available, cost versus production etc. I have used the 35hp Tw which have been reliable, Schlesinger which have had more problems then the Tw I have used but they are very good. Price cost versus production, seriously over priced pencil sharpener I have used 6-10 inch Schlesinger and each have blocked or had issues and they are to bloody heavy. I demo'd a quadchip and that will be my next chipper but at £16000 plus its nearly twice the price of my tw125 and clearly not twice the machine how ever its still better for speed, and it has a turntable For me and my business the ultimate arb chipper would be a tw125 on a turntable with one of the 30hp petrol engines or with the ability to change to power settings between 20 or 30 hp for when I need speed and slow better fuel for when I don't ( you herd it here first ;p ) So my 1p worth is either the quadchip or the TW125 both brilliant machines for very different reasons.

I got one for sale still ready to go its a ford crewcab ally back pm if its of interest

I cant see how a qualified, insured tree team can make any profit for three days at £925 whilst paying tax on that with the associated costs involved. The customer is correct though if they cock it up its down to them, what she probably failed to do is check for proof of insurance proof they are qualified and if they do cock it up what guarantee does she have they will honour a repair. Let the monkeys see the peanuts
