    Could they be used as an example of a passable crown reduction in an AAac PAUL?

    our two wood moving machines, if your telehandler is cheap it will be a pile of junk, digger and a thumb are great both in the yard and work.

    Might need to lower my prices then.

    £95-£200! What part of the country are you?There lies the crux of the problem, too many people working for f@@k all money for ejits who don’t know the cost of things in the real world, tell him to stick his money up his ass and take it as a lesson learnt. Even your £450 is a cheap price for reactive work, its less that we charge for a planned day.

    Well done Echo!

    Jcarbor replied to shillo's topic in Chainsaws

    We’ve been using echo ppt pole pruners for years, they’re a great bit of kit, we did all the Tour de France trees on the North Yorkshire route with one with an extension pole added, the cheapest bit of kit that has made the most profit for us ever. That said we’ve never used their back handled chainsaws due to their top handles not being up to the job.

    Is your 4012 remote or umbilical?
  7. Jcarbor
    Been using a 4012 for years, cant fault it, dead easy to maintain, sandvik cutting head is absolutely amazing, have a mate who ran a predator that he was forever having issues with, used my ugly Carlton and went out and brought one. 3 cylinder turbo kubota engine is bomb proof.

    First Aid

    Jcarbor replied to Woodsearcher's topic in Chainsaws

    before you start trying to stop your bleed with bandages or haemostatic agent try position elevation and pressure, indirect of direct, if the wound is on a limb which’s is often the case in arb injuries try one of these combat tourniquets, arrest the flow then apply your dressing and monitor the circulation to the end of the limb, release the pressure when needed.

    I stopped doing logs because of being messed around on numerous occasions, got to a point were i used to either give the arb waste away or just set fire to it and we produce an awful lot of it.The labour cost to process it bag it and deliver it just wasn’t worth the £70.

    Sounds like his accumulator is not the right size, the boiler will probably not going into slumber mode hence the amount of wood he’s getting through. His btu consumption should have been calculated on his floor space and number of heating elements in his property, its always a good idea to to a proper survey before installation.

    Craig, its well worth doing some sort of tree inspection course if you run an arb outfit A its good CPD. B it covers your back a bit if you should ever end up in court, take for example Cavanagher vs Whitney parish council or poll vs Asquith viscount Morley 2006, in both of these cases the standard of tree inspection came in to question. It also helps expands your knowledge of tree diseases decay and pathways for management strategies. I did QTRA a few years back, I’m not still licensed to use the format but i do apply elements of it in my tree surveys. As a company as a whole tree surveys often lead to future work for us, yet we always give the client the option of using another contractor to do the resulting works.

    The initial thread was about prosecuting two yank tourist over shooting sheep and red deer, I’m all for local income from tourism and diversity for regional and local income generation, culling deer and feral sheep is called estates management (it has to be done, even the national trust does it)and is at the present time self sustainable, we some how went off on a tangent to fish farming, now yes this does provide employment for many local companies and staff but it isn’t in its present model self sustaining or eco friendly, it has been voiced for many years that it’s polluting the ecosystem and allowing sea lice to flourish at an unnaturally high level.
  13. Jcarbor
    That last bit is very distasteful, I’m also not into posting post shooting pics as in the present pc climate that we live in it gives the anti brigade ammunition to use,
  14. Jcarbor
    Yep 4 cars two land rovers ,2 diesel chippers one stump grinder a 360 excavator a Jcb loader and two houses but not a fish farm.I also ain’t adverse to a bit of fishing and hunting.
  15. Jcarbor
    I wouldn’t eat it and haven’t done for years, its not only bad for the farmed fish, it also pollutes the bed of the system that its situated in, add that to the decimation of the millions of tonnes of krill they harvest to make the feed for them, then the masses of antibiotics they feed them it makes for a very un-eco friendly farming method.sea bass is heading the same way.
  16. Jcarbor
    It could be the variation on the individual weapons certification, my. 22 and .223 include humane killing of livestock its said the sheep were farm animals, my .17 hmr and .243 aren’t,that said their visiting yanks not sure how that would affect them.
  17. Jcarbor
    I’m sure that Nicola’s Walter Mitty government will try to put a stop to hunting and fishing, it will see the end of the large estates up there and have a massive impact on the rural economy.

    Once again an incident caused by laziness and misjudgment.

    65kw, heats a 5 bed farm house, a 3 bed new build,plus my barn/workshop.
  24. Jcarbor
    I’m in the uk, our whole unit cost about 21k, it was plumbed into the existing oil burning heating system which we have kept as a back up. Our running cost are nowt due to the fact that we are swimming in arb waste, it burns an IBC of wood in 5 days.
