    What he says with the 20 inch bar.

    £2340 inc vat will get you 1800kg straight pull. It can be doubled up with the pulley the provide to 3600kg.

    Consider this https://eder-powerwinch.com/en/powerwinch-1800/ We have one at work and you can then move it to what ever location you need it. It's a brilliant bit of kit. I don't know how much a winch on the back of the chipper would cost but I don't think you would have much change out of the price for this.

    I would suggest having a chat with the training provider about that as they will understand the qualification better than anyone else. But the course covers lots of other areas to do with trees.

    I am currently on the level 4 with tree life and I can confirm the workload is big but it's doable. You will need to be 100% commuted. But it's going to be worth it.

    I don't know of a particular company but there is a company near me that answer all of your calls while you are working and will give you a report each evening. So you know to call Mrs miggins back but ignore the sales call

    Whatever you get may I suggest buying an unlocked 2nd hand phone from a place like music magpie or similar as you can get a reasonably smart/modern phone for a cheap price compared to going on contracts. But I would recommend Samsung personally which particular one is up to you. Have a good day Ian C

    Yep ours froze up on Thursday. Started the engine and let it warm up. Then we bodged the throttle to be at full chat so we could get on with the job. After 10 mins it was fine.

    It is possible I would say do as much prep for the new site and give it the best of starts to increase your chances.

    If there is not a need for a pti for each of the 4 candidates how about organising a bespoke course to cover things you guys find enjoyable/ don't do often. My old boss took us on a day course of conifer ident. We were just tree surgeons.

    Left school at 16 as I didn't want to do a levels. Started an apprenticeship in maintenance engineering. Did that for 18 months. Left as it wasn't for me. Started in outdoor pursuits and jumped all over the country working in different places even Italy for a bit. Then the last centre I worked at in the lake district. Had lots of land and woodlands there was a freelance tree surgeon doing some tree work. I was stuck in the office that day so when he popped him to ask for a helping hand I volunteered. Then took on a job as a complete newbie. And since have been made redundant started my own company and then closed it 4 years later now working for a good firm and studying for my level 4.

    I am not an expert in the field but battery technology is getting better every month the energy density of a battery and how that power can be delivered whether it is pure power and used up very quickly. Or longevity. I know the idea or changing sprockets. But think the battery density will push things forward.

    It's power over ethernet so you only need 1 cable. And can be expanded up to 8 cameras. And the pic quality is good

    Tree life do distance learning but I would highly recommend the classroom sessions. Having just done my level 2 with tree life and moving on to my level 4 this september.

    Good call I would only work for family on a bank holiday.

    A year ago I looked at getting solar panels and a battery system for my place but my roof faces East west and there are a lot of trees in the way. But it was provided by eon with guarantees on workmanship and the items. They will sell to anyone you don't have to be an eon account holder. It will take about an hour and a half to look at all the possible ways of doing it and discussion. But a way of getting am idea of what it would cost.
