Is this not the same as any profession assuming your a motivated and driven individual? That's what earns you career development no matter what your profession is. Jake Andrews

Not really Al. It's happened to me a couple of times which is pain but I am surprised it doesn't happen more often when climbing. Spraying them is not a bad shout but you won't be able see when it's fully charged or not. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

Another vote here for the velocity. It works amazing with the spiderjack. Can't help you with long ascends I'm afraid as I tend to footlock into the crown and pull my system up to me on big long ascents. Saves my arms for the climbing and not wasted to much on ascending.

Oh come on it was a tongue n cheek comment. Dempsey called the job Poplargeddon himself. It's satisfying finishing a big job. Especially when things go well. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

Tree Survey advice (commercial site)
Jake Andrews replied to shaun342's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Hi Shaun. There are a few different types of surveys available which is where the client input comes into it. A tree stock survey would be a survey of all trees on site with a management option (if required) which is your most expensive survey. This is because all trees are tagged and recorded and allows you to build up a history of the tree. Any work is recorded against the tree number and you can see how much money is spent on that tree over the years or what work has been done and when. Another option would be a hazard assessment which is cheaper but will only detail and record hazards present in specific trees. You will not build a history of your tree stock or have an inventory of trees on your site. Jake Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app -
We're running the 520 (I think) we have a grapple bucket, forks with grab, 4 in 1 bucket and a winch. Almost anything for any situation. The weekend was a good slog. Hard graft but the plan came together. We only had the rail closed for the weekend so that why we concentrated on getting them down and not processing them. Felt like a good idea until we turned up on Monday to the big mess. Machinery makes it easy though. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

We spent the day turning and stacking brash and log wood ready for the biomass chipper tomorrow after a big weekend of fells and dismantles. Around 30 Lombardy poplars removed on the weekend. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

Looks good Matty. I like the winch combo for the log wood. Did you have a loader for the wood? Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

Doomy morning today but made easier with the bucket. Nice views with Ashton Gate and the Clifton Suspension Bridge in the background. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

Short sighted mate. Good work may earn you more customers and therefore more money. Bad work can earn you a bad name and less customers. Especially in a tight community like a church. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

So what are your own objections for not going arb approved Pete? Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

Sorry but I disagree. The bigger jobs go to the people who have the right contacts and are able to do them with the right kit. I'm not saying AA approved won't help make contacts but you don't need it to do the jobs. On saying that I think the accreditation is worth while doing and we are going for it this year I hope. The AA is not just for the big firms anymore, any outfit can do it if they have the right procedures in place. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

Q1- I doubt you'd kill it however I can't say the tree will "like" it. Q2- removing it in stages is fine but I doubt you'd encourage lower growth. You'd get a thick load of epic or mic growth from the pruning points and shade out lower new growth over time. Just because the costumer wants a hard reduction doesn't mean you have to do it. A gentle chat with them educating them with the pros and cons of a hard reduction may persuade them with an alternative option (like a smaller reduction). On the other hand some people want what they want and aren't happy until they get it (rightly so as their the paying customer) so you do as they say.

Seems most people you talk to have done tree work once in their life. The classic "when I was a tree surgeon" blah blah blah. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

The rules in Australia was that you could work full time but could only work for the same company for 6 months then you had to move on or get sponsored if you liked it. Not sure if it's different or the same for NZ Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

What he said⬆get yourself out there for a working holiday and see if you like it before jumping ship. Travel the towns and cities before settling down in one spot. It's easy to get work when your there and the experiance will come. Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
Jake Andrews replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
And the reason for not bashing the whole bracket off Chris? Will the fungi then turn all it attention and energy into wood degradation as apposed to some on fruiting and sporolation? Sent from my SM-G920F using Arbtalk mobile app
