Good afternoon all This is my first time of looking into getting public liability insurance, i'm wondering what sort of a deal i need to be getting as have heard some policies are not worth what they say I'm 21 with a years experiance, got my tickets for felling and dismantling etc, I'm wanting to know what sort of cover i should be looking at to get? is it 5million or ten etc Also roughly what will i be looking at to pay. Just wanted a rough idea and some help before i ring up tomorrow cheers Chris

Just wondering if anyone out there uses them? as wanting to get a riggin kit setup so was going to use one for the friction device and one for the pulley above
-
do as jonesie said, there can be excess fuel in the cylinder etc..... or hold the throttle on full and try start it that way
-
exactly, just get out there and get it used and dirty....

i have one mine has the transit di turbo engine in, but ecu failed so had to go back to std injector pump so probs around 90hp...... i weighed min before xmas and it weighed 4.2 ton lol and i had the chipper on the back the day before and it still pulled ok nice cheap and simple truck, they do rust but.... for the price of a smiley rust riddled transit you could have like a y reg ldv......
-

-
do you have your own rigging kit? or whats the site like where the pop is?
-

Evening all, just wondering if anyone knew if the 066 exhaust was compatible with the older 064?? My 064 has a 044 exhaust on i have just found out after comparing it with my 044! Can there be any ill effects from running it like this? its fairly loud and was hoping the proper exhaust would quieten it down? cheers chris

Back to the top, Even filling in days would be good -
think there are some battery powered chainsaws out there, sure i've spotted some on ebay.... could be wrong though
-
any pics? i've got a nice big hinge sat here waiting for me to decide where to cut the shoot on my chipper
-
this one seems genuine but doesn't say..... https://www.gustharts.com/Products/Arborist%20Equipment/Arborist%20Climbing%20Equipment/Accessories/Product/Treemotion%20Rope%20Bridge/ just seen bigger pic, it seem's so..... didn't realise they were that cheap! brilliant
-
yeah, think its best to have a new one and to trust in the gear every time you sit back! bit gutted its nicked though ohhhh well things sometimes do happen ohhh and yes, genuine its just rope so will they sell the same rope as std?
-
Whilst doing some conifer reductions the other day i noticed that there is a scuff/knick on the bridge of my treemotion harness...... if had a look at it and it appears to be only the green outer layer that has been comprimised so to say, and when i pull the "fibres" back i can see the white inner cord but it doesn't appear damaged, only the outer green bit. million dollar question is will it still be ok to climb on? i'm thinking its superficial and the green outer is just a protection layer more than strength (or im hoping) i'm willing to get a new bridge before anyone brands me as a tight arse

i've just completed cs32 and it says fell and process over 380mm 1-2 times guide bar length..... no end clause on size max....
