find a contractor who can work on the rail and let them do it and make a bit on top.. Or go at it yourself but if it goes wrong at all get used to prison food

Level 3 would be 30-50 an hour depending on company .. Level 1 12-18 an hour and level 2 15-30 an hour but you cant do anything without a level3 on site....

Orange all daybut we work a lot of sites and also rail.. Depends where you are as I use james Anthony workwear in Blaydon

torden 22k best for JK but its been took off the shelves now.. We use Garlon ultra now for all the sites we have but its £52 a litre... So if you have a lot to do its expensive but effective

End of the day it is about price to a lot of us... Tesco lost a bit money but sure they will cut costs and still make money in future.. Think of the 1000s and 1000s of jobs that Tesco employ or will lose

I am in the scheme and have looked to get out of it but since I do site clearance then the company I work for deducts it. I asked them to do it a different way due to work we do . They replied either accept it or don't work for them... Don't matter if its tree clearance, its how they work....

That's as may be but it will bring work to a halt on some sites, even when a bird nesting survey has cleared the work to proceed. As the lady says in the video it's rooks and magpies that nest high in trees, and these are protected under the legislation which was designed to halt the decline in songbird species (wrongly thought out legislation as it's habitat and food source loss in dairy and arable areas that's the root cause.

That be the same lady who will be twistin when tree falls in her garden or its blocking the sun from her patio!!! bloody hipocracy from the idiots

I have an old sse ranger with winch and they have moved intercooler on it

Lived in the country all my life, worked on farms since 8yrs old, went to agri college and have worked outside in the countryside ever since.

So you never seen magpies attack lambs and peck at calfs eyes when they born??

Personally I would put mulcher through. If magpie was home , then its a bonus!!!

A nest site is a nest site, regardless of the species. When we did our unit 5 training, we were told that a bird sitting in a tree with a twig in its' mouth, classes that tree as an active nest site.

 

I can never work out the general hatred for corvids We wipe out so many small birds with our hedge removal, house building, farming practices etc etc, but somehow by persecuting corvids we make it all better.

 

It can "inconvenience" the working day, but working with and around nature is all part of this work and just needs working around.

take it your not a farmer or small holder... I am sure if you see the magpies pecking at the newborn lambs you would dis like them, but as normal people put there views across not knowing the full impact that certain things have...

lot of people on here seem to think they would fail or there workmates would fail drugs test.. We constantly have them with doing railway work and sites.. None of my lads have failed as they know they will be out of a job.. If you wanna turn up stoned/pissed then get a job in a call centre

Had a lad stay off as his parents were away and he needed to be of to feed the chickens!! all 6 of them

Half the time on the rail we use trees as anchor points..

As has been said network rail are not bothered. I done mine for the rail and found it a waste of time. Network rail look for cheapest option most of the time, so having to pay for a level 3 to set system up goes out of window as too expensive unless was a long term but as for de veg its a waste of time...........................

depends what your gonna use it for..

I used to use it on railways doing de veg on tunnels/cliffs etc but demand not there..

If your going on rigs then fair enough, but unless you have plenty of work to drop onto its a waste of money

Pointless unless you are gonna do it full time.. As has been said you need to do your hours to keep your tickets.. Week long course

Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!

 

Rail works sucks big time!!!!!IMO.

Depends what your doing...

We just do DDDs and pays 5 times what I used to get at Glendale.. no conny bashing or dealing with clients trying to knock price down...

All depends what you want I suppose

You can get the qualification by having training and assessment at your own expense but you won't be able to work without a sponsor. As the competencies need renewing every three years with medicals it's not worth doing independently IMO.

 

All the vegetation companies are competing for workers so they expect to provide training but may expect to be repaid if you leave.

every 2 years:thumbup1:

just bought a 260 farmi with all the extras on to crane feed.. Had to buy from M large and have it shipped though as corwen were pathetic at communication:thumbdown:

cracking chipper though ,mounted on valtra t150 with roof mount

Long live FORST

see steve bought another

Had a brand new one and done the same but was stuck on infeed.. It was the valve stuck in the block. When it got looked at they said the block had been machined bad and was piece if metal.. took it away for a few weeks and sorted problem. did leave me a loan machine

You might be right but I pray you're wrong:)

well the scots certainly not after todays performance:001_tt2:

Gutted, like having your best saw nicked at the start of the season...😅

Think it was expected.. If wales if wales did not pick the players that play in france then it would of been an even bigger loss!!!!!

To be fair to Greenmech they took away the dealership from a nearby firm because they were not treating customers fairly. They have the power and have used it in the past.

That's fair enough, but my local dealer would do what he could to get you running even if it meant taking a part off his own machines.. You can ask anyone up in the north:thumbup1:

Down to greenmech to be fair.. They are the one who appointed orange as they would buy a lot of machines for there hire fleet.. Took dealership away from my local dealer olivers, although to be fair to greenmech they have let him order parts as there are times machine would of been down without his help.. As for orange , timberwolf withdrew there machines and in the short term greenmech will do well, but not in the long term.. Small minded buisness
