  1. As a professional you can only explain to the client so much and than the final decision depends on their judgement. "Some customers like trees require more training than others" easy-lift guy
  2. I have heard similar stories here in the states. Was considering RC surgery myself a few years back but the doctor told me it could affect my night vision. Glasses/contacts for me for now. Rover I will be expecting pictures of your new eye wear regardless of your choice! easy-lift guy
  3. Your budget and comfort level must be as one. Don't rush into making a decision it will be your bread/butter for some time to come. easy-lift guy
  4. Def. a sun dew, parasitic relationship between the fungus/bug as well. easy-lift guy
  5. Maybe she hit a nail or screw? easy-lift guy
  6. A tea spoon of dishwashing liquid per gal of mix material also go's a long way as well. Makes for a cheap spreader sticker, you did not hear that from me since Round-up wants you to buy more product. easy-lift guy
  7. Good question about peripheral vision. I believe if you have good PV now you will have it with contacts as well. Clean hands are important only becuse of all the nasty things we come in contact on a daily basis and even more while working with trees. Yes you can blink fast and your lens can pop out in a pinch. My biggest concern is any damage to the cornea due to material flying about. I look forward to your new "saw goggles". easy-lift guy
  8. With contact lenses the need to remove and install at any time for any reason really makes a difference with clean hands. I believe robbo 110 is spot on with regards to working with a ski type goggle in conjunction with lenses. The key is to keep your lenses clean and well moistened before during and after insertion. Most new lenses are disposable to one degree or another, find a brand that meets your budget and comfort level. Who knows you may create a fasion trend with your new saw goggles and be styling at the same time. All the best. easy-lift guy
  9. Rover, I wear both. Sounds like you will need to find a stout pair of glasses and get use to wearing them, lenses can be used while out doors and in the type of industry we are in you will still need some sort of safty glasses or goggles when wearing your lenses. The need for having clean hands most of the time will also help make up your mind about having lenses as well, more upkeep with lenses as opposed to glasses. I wish you the best. easy-lift guy
  10. No problem, have a great weekend.

    ELG

  11. I agree with Steve on this one I think that the franchise train left sometime ago and it would really be tough to enforce any kind of exclusive rights you may or may not have been offered. Congrats on that number of stumps, it was a steller achievment IMO! easy-lift guy
  12. Timbermcferson let me know how your investment works out for you. Perkins, I can't wait to see what you create, sam66s your post say's it all. easy-lift guy
  13. Oldmilltrees Save your money for a ELH. I love my competition for selfish reasons. The harness you are referring to will transfer the weight of a pole saw to your hips while at the same time pull the operator forward. I have tried this product on and had it attached to a power pole saw, I like the ELH better.. I did not try it with a extended power hedger since the first experience was enough. The ELH will in fact lift up to 100% of the implements weight and transfer that energy through out the back back frame work. The product you mentioned is cheaper, and as the saying go's "you get what you pay for". Good Shopping. easy-lift guy
  14. Thanks Garath. I am not sure about the concentration for Round-up in the UK I believe last I bought some it was 41% here in the states. Contact Stuart @ Overton UK I believe they would be willing to let you try a unit out. Have a great weekend. easy-lift guy
  15. Pitty the poor tree has the nerve to grow in the way of public health/safety. I to am curious about the truth being out soon. I believe stumpgrinder has a good point. easy-lift guy
  16. The Patent for Round-up expired a long time ago. Many companies produce like products with Glyphosate, weather Monsanto takes it off the market is pretty much a mute point. I am sure that the enviromentalist wacos will continue to work hard at removing what every they can to maintain their quest in life. Not to worry there will always be another product available for the consumer to use. Planned marketing and obsolescence at work. easy-lift guy
  17. What a happy ending to a stolen property story. Thanks so much for sharing. Sounds like you covered all of the bases and came out on top. The GPS tracking system you had installed sure did pay for it's self this time around. Did you know the the person for very long who did the deed against you?. Sounds like the dealer is out on this deal, should have done a little more research before he bought stolen property!. easy-lift guy
  18. Tell your next client you sub for that you have an agreement with the bank. The bank will not try to do Tree work as long as I don't try to be a banker. See what they say to that if they even understand. easy-lift guy
  19. Never had a chain break in 31 years. I have had them bent or the teeth damage by the sprocket. Have only ever bought new name brand chains. My dealer made up about 10 for my Husky a few years back and still using and doing well. easy-lift guy
  20. Dropping the trees in the forest were no big deal. Falling the large Pine between the Two homes, a big deal. I believe they did a fine job for that shot. The last video segment was wrong esp. since the road was not coned off and parked cars were very close to where the tree was felled. No traffic control actually seen = Accidents waiting to happen. easy-lift guy
  21. When purchasing a new chain saw here in the states Sthil at one time had a video showing how their model chain saw worked. It was very informative. Any dealer worth their weight at this time should show the new owner all features of any brand saw and allow to test on site with at least a log to cut thru. Additional formal training is always a plus. easy-lift guy
  22. I bet her brother slipped a file in her birthday cake and she will be out by tomorrow and a wanted person at that. Such a nice lady and so misunderstood. easy-lift guy
  23. Stephen Is spot on and I am sure you are not in favor of funding his business. Start looking for another Gig and once your paid in full move on to greener pastures. Good Hunting. easy-lift guy
  24. Looks similar to the old Gravely machines here in the states, They were real work horses. If you can still get spairs for this type of equipment it could be a wise investment. easy-lift guy
  25. Sounds like your really keen on weeping any thing, with the same results. Could be the chicken droppings and moving the pen around once in a while and straw or mulch as a sponge is a good idea as well. If all else fails try a different type of tree. The willow by nature has poor structure and under the right weather conditions is prone to failure more often than not. Good hunting for that new tree. easy-lift guy
