First rule is can this tree be done from the ground?? Looks like it can! Fell the tree slight higher if it explodes then it explodes, better for it to explode than you when you squashed underneath it! PLAN PLAN PLAN is take time think about what your doing don't rush and think of what if this happens or what if that happens! Anyway take time and be safe!!

Polypropylene 16 mm really cheap!!!

Reynards disease or vibration induced white finger!!

Sorry I have no time to busy with work snd having a family life!!!!!!!

The APN best female actress award in LA august! Great success! Prob the AA show and APF

Good advice as above you will need to be able to recognise pitches gauge manufacture top plate filing angle side plate on numerous chains profiles aswell! Then there is the health and safety From puwer loler mhswa faw crow dsear riddor ppe risk assessment and a few more to mention the list goes on! You will need to show a good level of knowledge on all and more ! Then the felling You will need to be spot on no really spot on withe the single back cut, split level and dogs tooth! Body position is a good one to remember ! Winching and the configurations of slings safe working loads, work load limits and so on this is even more important on the medium felling aspect! Hope you find this little bit of info helpful I don't want to go into it to deeply Good luck with the process it's great fun even the role playing of assessor candidate! It does not prepare you for the real thing in the slightest! Ie big burly men turning aggressive against you when you fail them or having a grown man crying his eyes out on your shoulder ! Any way have fun! If I can be of anymore help or you need advice pm me! Many thanks !!

Sorry to hear that nod I will keep my eyes open in the warwick area there has been quite abit of it going on around the area!! Catch up soon

Quercus ilex???????!!!!!!

She's not spoilt she's Scottish and I'm scared!!

Na my truck only has two seats and what with a ten week old baby girl my wife doesnt like riding in the tipper back so I have to suffer the electric seats mirrors cd changer heated seats ( which I say are fantastic but much needed on cold leather ) but it gets her about drinks the juice a bit rapid! I do like the assisted cornering thing on it! I have found it so easy to wind people up about the jap/ landy dilema but at the end of the day as long as they get us safely to work and help us get the job done it does not matter what we drive, Christ sake it's taken me long time to get where I am now I first started out in a 1.8 escort car when I was a student but it all comes down to a budget at the end of the day! My wife got a disco because we where expecting our first child and she has horses the only way forward really was the HSE disco and I chose my l200 tipper because it's practical! Anyway everyone stay safe and happy climbs!

Hi all forgot to say my other vehicle is a discovery which my wife owns and I just drive on the odd occasion to look like a ponce like the rest of them , wouldn't use it for work there just not mann enough !! Jap crap all the way for me yes indeedy !!

Proper bang tidy!!

Ah yes scrap is a good price at the moment but I don't really think there's that much weight on a disco most of it has rusted away!!

Don't buy the prussik loops just by 2 or 3 meters of 10 mm prussik cord ie Yale silver streak much cheaper way of buying prussiks most shops just rip people off! Get your instructor to show you the double fishermans knot and away you go!! But my real advice to you is don't rush out and buy a **** load of gear you might not like climbing! And if your instructor has anything about him and not some prat he will have quite a bit of equipment to try out! Have fun and happy climbs! Where is your course !??

I have had Japanese trucks all my working career my last 2 l200 trucks where great! First truck l200 4life not a problem second double cab warrior again not a prob recent one got brand new Jan before last again up to date not any problems! Different friends have got land rovers and yes very very really you might get a good one but to be honest they are a over hyped seriously over priced out of date giant mechano sets!! If it ain't german or jap it's scrap!!!

"ONE LIFE LIVE IT" Buy Japanese and don't spend the weekend fixing your landy And remember boys and girls if it ain't german or jap it's scrap!!!!!

Phone up the network operator they have to phone you back within two working days under new leglislation so I was informed by a nice man at western power last week!!

I do, bit too far though!

She can sit on my face and ill guess her weight!!!!!

It is so tempting to use the top handled saw on the ground, I personally do not use these saws on the ground, im not saying i have not but due to the temptation to hold the wood in one hand and cut it is so easy to see why opertators get injured. I have seen this one lad where he had used a top handled saw on the ground and with a flick of the bar it left him with a rather nasty zig zag cut up his left arm. If you rev the saw up and hold in one hand and with a little sideways movement the saw can become very uncontrolable with the centrafugal force of the clutch causing wobbles. With operators being injured with saws there is no independent body in place to record chainsaw related injurys, so for example Jo Bloggs down the street buys a B&Q special saw cuts his foot then this would go down as a national stats but he is not qualified!!! If a Contractor is injured on the ground whilst using a top handled saw then i would imagine they would be prosectued under the 1998 PUWER Regs from the Health and safety at work act , i think because the puwer regs say that all equipment should be in a full safe and servicable condition and be used as what it has been designed for, and with the top handled saw being designed for use in the tree. [Aerial] But then an argument would lie with the one handed use of the saw in the tree [CS39] where a normal work postion cannot be achieved or at the extremities of a tree when one hand is need to balance and maitain postion, my personal view USE A HAND SAW] VIEWS??????

Hi warwick there a good little tractor for general duties , what you doing with it?!
