  1. think it was the quad chip 160 we trailed out
  2. lol id be keeping my kit for the just 'in case' happens
  3. ah ok, best get back in contact with mysercough lol
  4. timberwolfs are good but we get alot of blockages and have to dig it out by hand. weve also got a jenson and havent had a problem with that, the only thing that needs doing is changing the rollers as theyve worn down a fair bit. also the new greenmec is really fast and didnt have a problem with it. not sure which model but it was on a turn table
  5. basic kit you could spend £650 plus, id would wait though, as ud be able to use the colleges kit. it wont be great but enough to pass the exams and learn the basics. i say this as i did what you want to do and have landed a job where all equipment is supplied for me. now ive got over 1k of rope harness boots trousers helmet etc gathering dust
  6. is this the same as a foundation degree in arb? as im starting it in oct
  7. would it not be cheaper to send it via sea. it would take a month or so and ud only pay part of the price for a shipping container if not dhl, when i was in iraq and afgan i used them i think it was around $100 for a 25kg box.
  8. have you looked at the stein climbing boots.. Stein Explorer Chainsaw Boots - Class 2 Chainsaw Boots
  9. could a local famer not help? and im not sure if they just arrive in artics bud. if not spread the word across your local area, garden centres tree nursies even other arb companys ect and let them pick it up. if youve got sum old compost bags sell a bag for £3 or the like. im sure someone would take it off your hands and thered most proberly sell it on.

  11. lol. ok, well the city council havent raised any tax for 3years, we havent recieved a pay rise in that time. we currently have 220k trees and on a good day 8 gangs of 3, and were soon to have a bugdet cut. the council owns the trees so if they want to process them for sale i dont see the problem, everything is recycled including the chip that goes to the power stations. so with budget cuts etc were bringing in a little cash that can go back into our dept to help with what every needs paying i.e. rent for the chippers ect. end of the day its a business, and im just a climber . as i said if you want to know more i can ask my boss
  12. if this is really bothering you, ill find out fm my boss end of week. so you can sleep easier at night:001_tt2:
  13. aye reciepts are made and handed over to the section director. this then does back into our section for equipment fuel heating bills etc etc. end of day the council owns the trees so if selling on makes some more cash for the section why not
  14. leicester city council sale logs and chip. chip at £3 a large bag and logs at £10 a boot or £30 for van etc. the money goes back into the system

  16. Welcome to the website of the BIOMASS Energy Centre hope this helps
  17. i guess so bud, i could ask the boss at the end of the week. the only thing is that it cant contain rubbish like coke cans garden rubbish etc as theyll reload the chip and dump it back off at your yard and charge you for the truck fuel etc. we use eddie stobart
  18. there great bits of kit, theyve been around for a number of years, for vehicles bogged down in sand etc. would be an idea to bring into the arb world if not all ready
  19. i maybe completly wrong but couldnt you start up an animal charity. a bloke i worked for a while back lived and ran his business and had his wife run the charity ( ducks rabbits etc) sold logs and chip and lived next to a farmer. Basiclly she had resuced animals and sold them on with huts straw feed etc. just an idea
  20. i saw the doc on tv a couple of weeks back, from start to finish. they had to stop work a couple of times due to high winds ,above 40mph i think it was and that was just halfway up. would be a great thing to have on your cv. being 1 of 3 to be at the top finishing the job off lol i think i also heard that so many lower floors are open to the public or the top i for get now and each apartment is in the millions!
  21. At work we keep all chip out doors, and i think its once a month, a couple of arttics come and collect it for the power stations
  22. lol that spider can take some abuse
  23. aye seem the right bit of kit, but have another look around im sure theres other cheaper bud
