New Landrovers including Disco, RR Sport, RR and Defender can all tow 3ton not 3.5 as some people think

I really think Toyota went a bit soft since the Mk5 and still havent got it back! Id go Ranger or Amarok all day.... Although im getting a disco

I had a lad wand to go part time due to him setting up on his own and i let him go instantly.

im after a 60 plate disco. I need a family car as we have 3 girls and Buster the bulldog. I do a lot of miles as my parents live in the highlands of scotland so comfort is a must and i thought of a disco as it will still pull the ifor trailer no probs

.....

No no no I'm am rite, it is great! as I don't SRT :smile: Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

Paul had the Zig Zag 2 for a month to test and review it, I climbed on it and was hooked instantly, only downside to it is you can't attach it mid line like the Unicender but hey ho other than that its great! The lanyard adjuster pic was taken at the recent ETCC Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

Not sure mate, sure looks like it Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

Petzl Lanyard Adjuster derived from the Zig Zag, recommended rope size is 12 - 13mm rope for the lanyard. Could do with a swivel I think although a swivel crab would suffice. Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

Put it this way the bow saw was well out of sight Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

Went along to the next village 'Horsley' to the 'Lion & Lamb' for lunch, posh fish finger sandwich! mm mm mmm Came home after lunch only to find the Arb Association Approved Contractors confirmation pack, its official! And I'm listed on the website! I still can't believe I've got AA Aproved Contractor status. At school I did the bare minimum to get through only being interested in art...and girls. Left school hoping to get into the fire service but due to cut backs that never happened, got I to raves and staying up all night living for the weekend doing bits of crap for work in dead end jobs. I pretty much fell into tree work due to taking my first two trees (chestnuts) down with am old husky and did it the way we frown upon today, a good joiner friend of mine who ironically I live next to now had a van and we borrowed a trailer to get rid of the timber and brash, he told me there was a course at Kirkley Hall you could attend to learn tree surgery. I thought that was a great idea as wearing a suit and working in an office really didn't speak to me. I went to kirkley and signed up, I scraped through college with more interest in the horsey girls than trees although I got a real enjoyment from the days climbing we did a week. Since leaving college I have been through very hard times in business but my moto has always been get the best and be the best I could. I have always strived for good kit as I have a passion for spending money! Trees have really given me the life I wanted and now to have AA Approved Contractor status is still far beyond my beliefs. I had the potential to do it all I needed was a push in the rite direction and to find somebody who believed in me and the business, 7 weeks ago I met this person Paul Banister aka Silky Fox. Since meeting Paul things have really come on leaps and bounds so a massive thank you to you Paul mate. Have a fantastic day tomorrow with Oscar and your family.

The garage was built 25 years ago

Hi, I would like your advice please on this job. 3 pine to be removed next to a garage, the trees are significantly older than the garage. I know broadleafs should be removed over a period of years to stop heave from changes in the water table, is this the same rule for pine's and if so what would you recommend? Thanks Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor

One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead men got up to fight. Back to back they faced eachother, Drew their swords and shot eachother. If you don't believe the story's true Ask the blind man, he saw it too!
