  1. sorry folks was trying to add picture ill try again terry
  2. you of course shouldnt use a saw in the bucket with an other occupant unless you have a divider fitted see G.U.M.A terry
  3. hi as long as the saw is in safe area and cb applied either will suffice however outside the bucket is best depending on size of saw/bar not going to even get into the yo/yo start topic exept to say dont do it. there is some very good guidance in G.U.M.A an arb association publication terry cs47 assessor
  4. hi joe hows it goin your boss has benn on to me about cs41 training but havent heard back from him

    i saw this one yesterday while waiting for kingfishers terry
  6. thats fantastic must go and see for myself thanks for that, havent got a photo but the bathurst estate avenues witch lead to a landmark are really well thought out i believe they were the work of capability brown terry
  7. technically you do need the pole pruner unit, the cs30 bit means that when you do the pole pruner unit you only do the cutting element if you didnt have cs30 you would have to answer a lot more questions during assement terry nptc assessor
  8. be carefull with 11mm as they may hurt your hands with lots of use if im using 11mm i use them as a twin system there are lots of great ropes available at the mo give noddy at treeworker a ring he,s probably one of the best able to advise hi no on his web Tree Climbing Equipment Online Shop - Treeworker.co.uk - Treeworker home terry
  9. but you should never use timberhitch on it own as pieces can roll out terry
  10. the best way to attach to clean timber is clove hitch backed up with 2 half hitches running bowline for forks never use karabiners around timber unless you move it up the rope and slings are probably the quickest but always good to be able to attach with minimum kit terry
  11. wheres it being offered for that and are you sure the £200 is the total amount terry
  12. chances are if you speak to nptc and explain whats happened and if your units are done close together you may get them all on one id card but your training provider/assessor should ideally told you this i always get candidates photos on first unit within each group eg, cs units au units this usually suffices terry
  13. if you havent provided photo then it will cost you an extra £15 for id card cos its your first unit terry
  14. dont know exactly what it is but heres another terry
  15. i think its a bit much to assume that any one other than the AAAC you suspect to be overloading does this too bare in mind that a crewcab transit steel backed tipper must be wighed with all occupants tools and chip usually means the load cannot exceed approximately half a ton then most vans are most of the time overloaded terry
  16. the walk made the beer taste better,, good your on here i think thats going a lot towards the more approachable aa keep up the good work terry
  17. heres one from africa terry
  18. i have read all the posts on this particular thread and can identify with all points of view witch by the way are all in favour of improving our tree work practices and reputation as an industry i too have subcontracted to AAAC,s in the past that have been absolutely awfull i mean the sort of firm where the spikes rarely come off and R,A was never ever done this put me off the shceme for a number of years and i had the same opinion as some of those apposed on this thread however that leaves us on the outside looking in and perpetuates the illusion of better or worse standards between approved/non approved contractors after having finally undergone AAAC assessment and passing i have to say it was a good experience and feel that as a small company i/we have benefitted from it not nessecerilly financially or in my day to day tree work but some of the finer details such as legeslative changes etc the scheme is by no means perfect but is a lot better than a free for all where flash websites influence our clients choice and often results in some of the worse tree work iv e seen i would suggest that those who take pride in their work (most people in tree work) and are running reputable company,s would pass the assessment process without too much bother after all it involves only the things we should all be doing to be legally/practice compliant as far as marketing approachability of the AA vast improvements have been made and there is still a way to go to get more good tree company,s on side the question i beleive therefore is not why you should be a AAAC but why not. terry
  19. tried the website to upload it doesnt seem to work terry
  20. hi chris theres a few guys down your way service leavers ive iether trained or assessed not sure how far they are from you some of them work for silvanus i think but feel free to ask as many questions as you like and most replys on here make sense feel free to ring me anytime terry web apexarbtraining
