I'll pm you the number of a guy who may be interested.

Try Nick Channer dude, he's on this site and may take the timber. Good Luck and hope things work out for you.

Most of the time i can ignore it but occassionaly it does my head in, high pitched squeeling! Didn't know ear wax could cause it though. Could do with my lugs syringing i reckon!

I've got a double drum, 3t per drum winch on my Case, pto driven and mounted via the 3 point linkage. It's plenty big enough, no more difficult to remove or hook onto than a topper! It has a decent back plate so skidding isn't a problem.

Thanks Matt

Where would be the best place to go, in your opinion, to obtain a PTS ticket? I think it would be a strong benefit to me and possibly open a few more doors!

Rowan or any birch, both fast growing, trouble with the birch is that it'll die off! What about a cedar?

I've got me electric ticket, not pts though! ae1 wont count i suppose! PM me, i'm up for 2 weeks away! Need the money dude, wife is due next week!!!! I'm good, quick, pro and insured!

Mike

Clear your messages dumbass! Tried PM'ing you but your inbox is full! You want a hand or not!!!!! Lol!

"Unit 30..2 Crosscut and stack small diameter timber using a chainsaw

For cross cutting there must be sufficient timber on site for cross cutting and at least one piece of timber must have a diameter of 200-380mm (8”-15”) to accommodate a boring cut to sever log

8. Crosscut timber under guidebar length to a given specification."

 

The above is all taken from the NPTC CS30 Assessment Schedule on theri website.

 

In summary it would indicate that 380mm (15") is the max. size of timber to be cross-cut under a CS30 ticket. However, as we all know and all do, much larger timbers are cut in reality.

 

Consider obtaining CS32 would be my advice which states:

"Crosscut stems over guidebar length in diameter to a given specification."

 

Hope this to be of use.

 

Cheers..

Sensible advice, dont get ideas above your station, do it right.

You could do worse, but, i'm now available for climbing, cash or sub. Also have vast forestry and fellin experience, also a tractor and winch ( and sniggin chains!) PM me! I'm in Gloucs but will travel!!!

I want some too! Sick of earphone wires, where can i get the real deal!!

Out of interest, do the police or highways people have a contract with an arb company in each area? I'm not trying to get in on the business, just curious.

I believe you can register/give your details to the police to be called out on emergency tree work. Not sure what the full details are, might be worth starting a new thread as I'm sure some one on the forum will know

Just phone the police ( non emergancy line) they'll add you to their contacts list, they'll ask what you can do and what you charge per hour.

Mother nature every day shes a hell of a boss.

And thats the end of the thread! Can't top that one

Once he reads this i recon he,ll offer you a contract well done matey,nice post .

Lol, I'm not after a contract, its just so suprising to be paid wot most climbers deserve to be paid. We've all worked for guys that just want to make a buck or ten fron us, its refreshing to meet someone who understands the job and doesn't make you feel resentful!

I've just done 2 days work for a guy on this site. The first day i felt that i didnt earn my money! Today, i felt i did, but was then given an extra 20 quid! I couldnt believe it! I have always felt under valued when employed by other people but today i can honestly say that i felt guilty accepting the money! Especially ater the job was called of on Monday and anyone could have topped that hedge!

I hope i get to work with him again, he's got good lads too! :thumbup:

What are your rates for a sub?

I think your all being a bit harsh. My daughter is a student in Bristol and I have found it not that bad.

I'm only winding him up, I was referring more to his little plot..... the graveyard and sometimes nursing home for old vw's Its quite a nice city as cities go!

Reduced some poplars over 2 days for old mrs Barclay of Barclays bank family last year,she had her butler bring tea and biscuits out to us from time to time.Funnily enough she paid me in cash.

Bet that was a Bonus

Before i got into tree work i worked for Lord Mountbatten, not the famous one but Lord Ivor Mountbatten who holds the title now. Repointed the chimneys at Birdbrook, lovely guy, he used to bring us tea when we were up the scaffolding:thumbup:

Tree wise, i've topped the conifers right behind Red Rum's stable for Ginger Mcaine, he asked if we'd mind doing a cash job while doing powerline clearance through his land.

Yeah Westonbirt is a grand place The acers there are fantastic! Great place to take the dog for a walk I think the entry fee is over the top though considering it FC

Shouldn't be hard to find one dude, whole place is a tip!

I'd love to see a money tree

Think my dad had one of those, he always used to say 'where do you think it comes from.....the money tree!' I dont think he pruned his one very well though, it never fruited!
