Nice start up kit there, whats in the sandwich bags?
-
I worked for my hirer as an arborist for 3 years and helped him get AA status. You've got it good there.
-
My local one would never allow 24hr hire he would lay an egg. He wants chippers and grinders back by 5pm.
-
Yeah if you have it from 7am on site for 8am drop it off at 5pm your laughing, get a lot of stumps done especially as you can plot your route from the hirers base to the closest site and so forth.
-
I don't own a grinder but will price at £2 ish an inch and tell the client that i can do it for that rate but they will have to wait until i have enough of a list to cover a days grinding for everyone. Works for me.

Or an 088 even quicker:laugh1:

With a review section on this forum steve i would of thought you'd be up to your ears in free kit egerly awaiting review by their suppliers?
-
Its a great investment IMO i bought one and have got a few jobs over the other guys as i told them why not mill the timber as it would be such a waste just as firewood. Oaks always pretty good you'll need a ripping chain if its dead oak!! I milled some large boards the other week off a dead oak took a bit longer than i thought but the end product is worth it. Buy one, go on they'll pay for themselves within the first paid milling session. Also id buy bigger rather than too small, 36" would be the size i recommend.

Nice bit of speedlining there, also that double pantin thingy has opened a whole new world up to me... of to buy some bits tomorrow i think. Also why didn't you use the silver tandem for speedlineing?
-

2010 Arborist Tree Challenge June 11th 12th
Ian Flatters replied to ArbjobsNick's topic in Climbers talk

£50 he's having a laugh!
-
Arrived today will find a telegraph pole tomorrow arvo to see if ive set them up right.
-
I put a bigish lump of wood on the end furthest away then when i get half way swap it to the other end, then as i get close to the end i sit on the ladder, (only works if you've put wedges in so you don't pinch the saw)
-
Anyone using 2 handles on the rail? throttle locked out one handle close the engine other near the tip end? I over extend my ladder quite a bit to stop tip drop off. Although i haven't had too many occurrences with it happening even after the top cut. It had also crossed my mind about extending the rail width too. Maybe a 30cm bit in the middle on either side would do the job?
-
Very nice spalting their. What did you coat it with?
-
And mine has survived a fall from 40ft to the ground below. (grass and leaves). Dam those whippy branches:sneaky2:
-
No,no,no im trying to say my first post i.e was me saying that if you get injured can you claim expenses through the buisness, as im aware you can claim for phsysio for RSI's. The line between them both to me seems you could get an injury and say its from all the looking up we do???
-
What about RSI's? there caused by work?
-
