Without sounding harsh mate, your not the only one in this position there's people on here with more tickets, tools etc. looking aswell. So like others have said keep trying get what you can and if nothing comes up do something else. I've had three days in as many months doing tree work, so I've been and done some labouring, some driving and off doing six weeks tractor driving soon. so stop moaning and get out there and work.like I said I'm not been funny, just truthful.

I do have a Job, I work in the building trade as a ceiling fixer, but for the last year or so I've fancied a change, so I have paid to get me some CS tickets and got myself a chainsaw and PPE, and with me not being able to get much out of it I've been thinking how shite it must be for the young uns who have nothing to fall back on like myself.

Thanks guys, aprreciate the possitive words. Hope fully some one will give me the chance to prove my self soon!

Dean they look way better than the ones im looking at buying , what did you pay for yours?

Have a look at 'midland ladders' website, they are very good.

 

I have the 3m titan splayed based combi ladder. so it does 3 sections to 9 metres or a step ladder A frame with extension to about 5 meters.

 

May be a bit OTT for you at the moment at £249 inc VAT and delivery but I've been meaning to post it on here as the splayed base makes it a good all round treework ladder.

If the work started flooding in Paul maybe I'd invest in a pair, Cheers

I have the six rung version of these which are the most awesomist but heaviest ladders available, some many combinations and will setup on a slope and or flat against the hedge

 

You can even stand up straight on the very top rung with confidence they are that sturdy, the sturdiest ladders known to man

How much did they cost Dean?

Hey burrell_ that looks like a top setup

The reason i would be buying the ladders is primarily to do the tops otherwise I'd buy a 3ft Hopup could you show me a picture of the triple ladder you mention Rupe, even though there £100 more than i can afford on ladders

I think i can see where you coming from there burrell_ but would you say there is an advantage over the multi purpose ladder and how much did your ladder cost

I can get one I think, give us a minute

Look guys Im on a massive budget here, Im finding it hard to get groudie work so I've took apon myself to have some business cards done and advertise myself for Hedge cutting, Im in need of a way of getting to the top of the hedges and I've seen the Multi purpose 4.75m ladder for £69.99 it seems as though it would be perfect for the job, Bearing in mind I'll be using this for domestic use only, I'd love to hear some of your views please

I dont know if this will help you on your search for a new harness but i did my climbing course at Myerscough college and i borrowed there Komet Dragonfly 2 harness, very comfortable and doesnt look too complicated like the treemotion.

I've bought this as a stop gap doing peoples Privets while i struggle to find groundie work, I hope that it will do the job for now, Thanks pro gard

Cheers Paulsbrash.!

if you want to ignore the marketing thread, then feel free to choose one of the 4 "tree surgeon" template cards from vistaprint and get yourself a card that looks like 300 other peoples...

ad15 im not after info on what templates are on offer just a website that you can give your design to and they will make you them at a good price for maybe 500 cards.

I couldn't spend £500 on a machine im not sure ill get much work with, otherwise yes i'd buy it, i like the best tools (If i need them), are you sure for small privets and small garden use the hs45 will be no good???, im worried now

Arbclimber, seriously is the hs45 a bag of sh**e????

I've just put a bid in on a new Hs45 18" for £167 and £18 postage, what do you guys think, also can anyone give me some information on getting my own business cards made up, Cheers

The trial could last 2 week and I'm sure the employer would be able to tell if the guy (or girl) was any good

Woodpicker could ask anyone for a days trial, and they might work hard, but I'm almost certain they'd work harder knowing what they could be potentially earning if they get stuck in (which I would) pass the trial, and get the job.

What you mean you want paying there was no mention of pay in his first post.

which is why i asked him about the money

I pm'd him about the job and i got a reply then i pm'd him about the money didn't get a response :001_rolleyes:

Haha thats who im working for tomorrow, cheers adbat234..!
