  1. If you get on well with your Tree officer there your best friend as they'll put work your way. If you don;t your screwed
  2. I've found a few TO are just planning officers with little knowledge of trees, I've been see yews which were actaully quite big Coastal Redwoods, and oaks which were chestnuts all expertly ID'd by 'a' TO. I've also met very dedicated, highly skilled and helpful ones, and if your reading, your all amazing. x
  3. Landscaping usually is the box I have to tick
  4. I use to have Arboriculture in my name. I had so many people say "oh you do farming too" we changed to tree care
  5. Is that a tow behind or tracked, i've worked around a crane fed tracked 1850
  6. Thats a big chipper, bargin have it, would look great behind a transit
  7. Russell Howard makes me want to punch my telle
  8. Mr Tom, Which company do you use, I just looked at the VoIP site seemed good, but should I use the big names like BT,
  9. Local land line number was what i was thinking, the pic was just beacuse,,, every one loves a pic, £5 a month sounds reasonable
  10. Hi Guys Well when works lean one needs to cast there nets wider, I see a lot of large companies on there website say call our such and such depot, with a local number to appear local, even though there a actually a few towns away. I regulatory subbie 2-3 hour drives away but for my own work its rare to break away from my local town, which is mostly conifers and not very exciting etc and becoming more and more saturated with landscapers and gardeners buying pole saws and now being tree surgeons too, So does anyone use spoof phone numbers to tap other towns and be that local tree surgeon just down the road, when in reality your a few towns away? Does it work? How much does it cost and what is involved? James xx
  11. BTW I still do enjoy it did't mean to be one of them always negative posters What I mean is strive to be in tree work, It beats working in a super market I've done both
  12. By the way I am self employed, running a small firm, usually have two blokes on the ground on a good, its taken many years to get to this stage of working hard and not really earning much, and to be honest I accidently became self employed because of the forestry. When I started I was probably far to naive to really have my own company. The guys I meet who are ace climbers, who have skills usually have worked for firms and had there hand held and be lead in the right direction before being let of the lead,
  13. I don't see why all people in the arb game see being self employed as the holy grail. You can make good coin employed if your good for the right employer without the stress, more variety of work and toys and perks of a big firm, clothing supplied and no costs, clock out at 5 and works done, sleep easy
  14. I use to use one, would be perfect for arb waste, I guess the danger is the lump spinning, if your quick with your hands you should be fine, I never injured my self and i'm really accident prone
  15. Which is not in the midlands
  16. Cor Blimey, I'm getting twitchy about the scrap vans slowing past my house, especially as my semi is arb yard as well, Mr Harrisson where in northants are you?
  17. Thast would be awsome as a iphone app
  18. What sort of $$$ does a crane cost for the day?

    new dog

    [/ATTACH] Ash, always comes to work
  20. Thats where i put my caritool but it would slide forward and onto the d ring, right old pain
  21. I love working away even if the moneys not amazing, makes a change, + round near me its all conifers, nice to see stuff n things not near you .............
  22. I'm with trust, I have my tickets, the usual ones, I don't have a chipper ticket or rigging ticket or that pruning pruning one, so if I tired a rope to a limb would I not be insured because its rigging. etc etc Trust said to me, tell your friends on arbtalk about us, be nice to have some input from them

    new dog

    Every day, my spaniel jumps in the van first thing every morning, you'd be surprised as to how un-offended many customers are when the dog squats in there flower bed.
  24. I've tried very hard, if you clip it behind the D ring it slides about and then clips it self round the whole gubbins, so now i just use it on the ring on my saw strop and then on to what ever ma jig
