  1. internationally it will hopefully be a big hit, the UK is a tiny market compared to Africa, Australia, middle east, America and even Europe the Toyota land cruiser has been the vehicle of choice for many of them as it does what a defender does more reliably and more comfortably.... this really could be a world beater

  2. I did this through HCC, my tutor has always been happy to answer questions and guidance but you need to ask for it as theres no classroom time.

     

    I agree with the above, I used the notes but my tree books and the internet have been far more valuable. 

     

    read the questions first then do reading, at first i read all the material and a lot of it is confusing / unrelated 

     

    I can complete a module (5 in total) in about a month and i have young children and a full FULL time job.

  3. Level 2 is more basic than the course info / paper would suggest. The answers only have to be pretty simple and using a lot of diagrams / photos is great and encouraged. 

     

    As above who are you doing the course with?

     

    Try and enjoy it and see it as a way of increasing your knowledge not just gaining a qualification, ask questions of colleagues, your local tree officer and nursery owners, tree people are usually helpful and friendly

  4. While working on one job a lovely lady. 84 (they do like to tell you their age) asked what's the procedure for cutting a tree down ? I said I'll look at it give you a price then if you are happy we can arrange a date!

     

    Quote accepted tiny job so did it while we were there, real custard donuts ( bakers not Gregg's rubbish) tea and even a chew for the dog!

     

    Really friendly happy couple paid cash and £5 extra for a beer! Made my day

  5. Don't know why that posted twice? Anyways.... Cheers guys first deutz I've ever driven but goes well, as for rot its all very solid except the cab so reckon it must have been indoors most its life.

     

    It's got all mod cons, tape deck , power steering, auxiliary oil tank ;)

     

    I'd love a loader for it if anyone has one for sale

  6. Looks like a "proper" tractor! Can I ask, what sort of money did you pay for it?

     

    Hi, it's quite a size 70 bhp! Needs attention ie battery, tyre / tube, and an oil leak sorting but a steal at .... £1200 I never would have considered an air cooled machine until this came our way but its ace!
