Decent. Im finding my Andrews a bit shit on spikes. Would you say they last a reasonable time?

That was the easier one! The bigger bastard is yet to do!

I'd just like to say a massive thank you to Mark and Co. I needed to order a couple of parts for my 2511 (not a bar stud...?) one of which was out of stock. Mark took one off a new saw and messaged to let me know it was back in stock on the website. It was delivered the following day. That's impressive service at any time, let alone with the current postage situation. Couldn't even complain about the postage price ?

Like I said mate im usually with a solid crew aged we all muck in. It's not often im sent out with a bunch of retards these days as I tend not to work for places like that.

You've over tightened that. That's how bar studs strip. Plenty of manufacturers mount bar studs into plastic

Depends who im working with. If you send me out with a bunch of mongs who'd rather lean against a wall and watch me work or run down their phone batteries then like fuck am I going to come down and help them do their job!

I was very annoyed that they retrofitted the new buckles to the original style harness. I recently bought one of the last older style tm harnesses because I didn't like the sound of the new buckles and the bastards have fitted them anyway. I've had to use zip ties on the tail of the straps to keep them from loosening

Only inbreeders and communists buy Marlow XTC is a solid first rope, go for it. No point spending loads until thou know what you like.

Who are the Arb Association to say wether or not we should be working? Their initial advice was in contradiction to the government's. The AA are not an official governing body, why anyone would turn to them for guidance over the government advice is beyond me.

Isn't there something you can do on the 660s to open the oiler up more? Something about a pin that can be pushed in?

So you're a sole trader? You must have earned something?

Ltd company? Been paying yourself a wage?

I'd imagine quite frequently.

Do you find people often regard you as a prick?

Get your ground tickets and aerial rescue, then find a decent firm to learn the trade. If you put in the leg work with learning stuff yourself you should become competent within a few years, same as most other trades I imagine.

Bollocks. You can earn a decent living cutting trees, have a mortgage, family and spare cash too. You'll have to work hard to become a decent climber, or else get some experience and start up doing domestic jobs to do well though. Tough to earn decent coin as a groundy.

Any examples of this?

What tyres are people running on their pickups
Joe Newton replied to Rwhiteheadfirewood's topic in Arb-Trucks
That's okay, you don't have to agree! -
As above. You'll work on date of entry into service rather than date of manufacture. If your LOLER guy fails stuff based on date of manufacture you should challenge him on this.

Cooper At3 have good road manners. It was important for me as I didn't want something that was great of road but shite on tarmac. I'll probably go for the knobbly coopers next. I reckon BFG are pretty much trading on their name nowadays -
