This is not very helpful. a lot of terms/ jargon/abbreviations to take in when starting out. get trainer or experienced climber you know to make a list of basic kit. i still use Prussic on my short climbing rope for small to medium trees. on the aerial rescue issue: don’t forget you will have this responsibility when you hire a climber in

Good to know. kids keep asking: what good do midges do?

When you are young 2 years seems like a long time. From his point of view, would need to be seeing some prospects of advancement. weve always found they expect more money when they start climbing, even through they’ve usually just gone from being a good groundie to being a novice climber. all different though. good staff are hard found and worth looking after

Advice on cherry picker positioning for wall work.

I’d say probably drive alongside if possible, so easier to move along. worth studying chart that shows reach/outreach -

Tyres not great. Had to put tubes in each of them -
Got audited here a few years ago and revenue contested my travel expenses. had 3 work vehicles. Wasn’t running family car from business apart from fuel when used for pricing etc. they pretty much tried to bully us into owning up to loads of private use( that never happened) we stood our ground , eventually they accepted on condition that going forward we deduct 20% for private use. works fine because can now claim for everything. Crew cabs are flavor of the month over here at the moment for attention from law, vat etc

I would totally agree. 15k will buy a good Jeep that will do 5 years with little depreciation. i would only borrow 30k or more for machinery that will earn me money, or towards land or buildings or home improvements. When the tough spells of work and cash flow hit, much better to be scraping towards worthwhile assets. bank interest and depreciation are real costs just like tax is. you rarely see accountants with brand new cars.

Sounds cheap. There Must be a catch?

He’s been on DoneDeal for a while now. You’d imagine someone would have had him checked out at this stage.

Simple physics really. dead timber. Fibres have lost tensile strength. One side of hinge weaker than the other. Can go sideways?

Jensen a328t chipper, step up from a Forst? give us your thoughts..

I’ve just sold my 328 tracked chipper and would agree with bigtreedon . Also at 2600kgs it’s a bit of a pig to tow. great for leylandi take downs and woody stuff and great for pulling over trees. for brash and bushy stuff we we’re finding TW230 better and more user friendly ( haven’t used first) -
Well, there’s free beer in letterfrack, galway every time Harry Kane scores. its where his grandfather came from.

Pretty mullered! machine has done 3800 hours , I would suspect they may have been ground back before I got it and I have sharpened them a fair few times. thanks
-
Hi. anyone know approx cost of new feed rollers for A328? Or, con old set be refurbished ? thanks
-
Flat here. i get mine sharpened by saw doctor at large sawmill. hollow ground definitely chip better but don’t stay sharp as long. after half a days chipping, no difference imo. also, with flat ground there’s less ground off to get sharp again as edge not as easily damaged.

Yes. We get a lot of rain but it’s nice when the sun shines
