It’s subsidised. That’s not a free market.
-
Let the market work it out.
-
Will it go down and up these steps?
-
Can anyone recommend a company who hires a 25-30m tracked MEWP in Bedfordshire or environs please. I need it on Monday for two to five days, delivered to site near Bedford.
-
I had a reply penned and then I realised I can’t be arsed. They’re just shit. All the best.

Tell us more about your woodland management job.
-
Because they cost loads, prove nothing and cause lazy employers to employ substandard workers who put people at risk.
-
I know what it means. Many people with NPTC certificates are not competent. I've met several of them.
-
Yes, mate. Madeline McCann is going to turn up alive and well too.
-
In a wettish bit of Staffordshire. What is it?
-
No. I specifically avoided them. There’s nothing in what I wrote that he can’t easily google.

Not intended combatively. You come across as someone who appreciates doing things well. I told you how I see things in the hope that you’ll take my advice, have a better life and forever think kindly of me. Good luck with it all. Keep us updated.

What that says to me is that you don’t know the difference between double rope technique and single rope technique (or even that these different things exist). The answer you want: Pulley because it can be used for loads of stuff and is pretty much as good under a hitch as a zig zag. Noteworthily, it’s easier to put a rope wrench above a forgiving hitch and pulley rather than a slick zig zag. The answer you stand to benefit more from: Go and get your money back from your training provider. At best, they’ve failed to give you a broad understanding of tree climbing systems and also failed to teach you the rapidly emerging industry standard. Especially bad considering your age and fitness... And, at worst, your aerial rescue knowledge is unacceptably holey. If you want to make money by climbing trees, get some more (good) training or take the time to teach yourself.

What SRT systems were you taught on your courses?
-
Whatever you do, can you update us on here please. I need some stuff (you’ve helped me by email a couple of times recently btw).

Has anyone had experience of Kellfri forestry products

Where are you in the country and would you ever be interested in freelance tree work? -
Thus creating yet another top tier contractor competing for relatively sparse and already poorly valued work. Perhaps one bitter enough to not want to pay more than they earned as a freelancer to boot. Then there’s also the point of view that if someone’s struggling to make enough money to pay for the kit they’ve got atm, adding more and more expensive kit may not be a good idea. They might not be a good enough worker and/or not a good enough businessman. The UK doesn’t need more tree firms. Every fucker is a tree surgeon. It needs fewer, better firms, who swoop in and smash out work with good, specialist kit and good, specialist men and repeat several times a day until everyone’s rich. No aspersions cast on Floatlikeabutterfly. Just an observation of a wider trend.

Give up wood cutting and work the doors?! -
Was talking to a UKIP spokesman about this yesterday. He reckoned it was the gays’ fault.
-
As it happens, I've just got off the phone with a friend in a (usually) wet bit of Staffs. Loads has just fallen off his biggest beech tree.

Gustharts were very helpful and Stihl eventually gave the same answers. Hope this is of use to someone. Rollomatic E Part Number 3003 000 5231 – 1.47 Kg Rollomatic ES Part Number 3003 000 9431 – 1.74 Kg (This has a replicable nose so increases the weight) Rollomatic ES Light Part Number 3003 000 2031 – 1.27 Kg

It’s piss easy. A friend did mine a while ago. I just watched and drank wine but I could have done it.
-
You’re a fucking useful bloke to have on here.
-
You’d think Stihl UK would know but they didn’t yesterday. I’m summoning the strength to call the Germans.

I want a light 25" bar for a Stihl. The lightest I've been able to find the weights for are the Sugi Hara ST2U-3Q63-A (https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product/st2u-3q63-a-sugihara-light-type-pro-25-3-8-063-84-drive-links/) at 1390g and the Stihl Rollomatic E 30030005231 (https://www.radmoretucker.co.uk/shop/garden-machinery/chainsaws-tree-care/chainsaw-bars-chains/stihl-25-inch-guide-bar-38-063-rollomatic-e-3003-000-5231/) at 1361g. I suspect the Stihl ES Light 30030002031 (https://www.stihl.co.uk/STIHL-Chainsaws-Lawn-Mowers-Leaf-Blowers-And-More/Chainsaws-and-Telescopic-Pole-Pruners/Guide-bars/21904-1630/Rollomatic-ES-Light-3-8-1-6-mm.aspx) is lighter. Does anyone know the weight or could anyone who has one put it on some scales for me please?
