  1. sorry mate near wet myself when i heard that joke! was told to me by an irishman though, does that make it ok!! lol!
  2. to be honest mate,and i know its a trek, but go to treevolution in snowdonia and you will be trained by probably the best instructor in the country(rich almond) who wrote the tree climbing best practice guide for the aa. awesome scenery and the chance for a walk up snowdon. couldn't reccomend these guys more!
  3. get back into arb dude! you'll only regret it when you're too old!
  4. there was a dodge s50 boughton conversion on flea bay recently with a 10 inch pto chipper behind the cab. it was awesome. wish i'd bought it really!
  5. get someone to weld you up a frame and line it with ply. if you were closer id make it for you!
  6. :lol:you must live in a nicer area than me then!
  7. know what you're saying there, i can only speak as i find and in this area all i seem to see is pi**ys with "tree work" and a mobile no. on the door! lets hope that there is enough work for us all, guess we just have to be even more professional!
  8. then we're sure to see the plywood removed from "arb" trucks and the cages reinstated!!!
  9. mine didnt have one when i bought it so i made one!
  10. correct me if i'm being naive here but surely a lot of the so called arborists out there are only doing tree wirk till the scrap prices go up! and are probably unqualifed and unisured. i think if we keep doing a good job it'll be us that gets called back next year. the whole country is in recession affecting all trades. hopefully if we weather this storm we'll come back stronger for the next one!
  11. what he said! use caution when lifting but should be fine
  12. give brian a ring at bartletts in cirencester. not the best firm to work for but might give you a start?
  13. how much of that tree is out of shot?
  14. sounds like a bent steering arm to me dude. i have heard of rangers bending bottom wishbones too. has it had a rack put in it? if it has and this wasn't centalised before it was installed then the problem you have would happen. just a thought?
  15. anyone tell me how to put an avatar picture up please?
  16. pics will follow, looks like a pile of crap at the mo! and the paint is wet!
  17. just spent the day building a chipbox for my transit, Who'd have thought welding up a frame and bolting in some ply would be so hard! absolutely exhausted now, next truck i buy will be purpose built!
  18. cheers sam, might just do that
