Hey there, I'm interested in the vacancy but is this for someone with experience? I'm in my first year of college studying forestry and looking for related work. Cheers for any info

Hello huskyboy, I just printed this off word for word from the Aberdeen press & journal so dont know any other info. Sounds like someone experienced their after but you never know , theres no harm in letting him know your intentions.

Heaters in Land Rovers are too hot... is that a first?

Just need to blow it in right place and were there!!!

Well, this is the thing. Customer want felled, FC bloke wanted pollarded. And I know pollarding will kill an old pop like that, so gawd knows why FC bloke suggested pollard. Once we had a proper gander up top though, it was clear that there was no point in doing what we wanted, which was reduction in height and drop-crotch pruning of side branches as the whole lot is already well on its way out. We're hoping customer gets felling licence granted again in new year as otherwise he's going to end up with a quartet of telegraph poles!

lol!! just having abit of banter Pedro, professional job my friend

My little dales pony is from yorkshire. I agree, go native!

Pollarded or killed Pedroski ? that is the question....

my mate was diagnosed as a mute today?

i thought he kept that quiet!

It will fall on deaf ears that one .

Sorry I'm outta here......

Thanks ELG . Merry Xmas.

a march hare.

I'm not a carver so excuse my ignorance, but you seem to use the burnt aspect to great effect, gives it real contrast.

P.S .. notice you are in Belgium , wife and i been there a couple of times just touring about seeing where we end up. We were in France aswell but hated it and couldn't wait to get back to Belgium, great place.

That's a young hedge to use as an example mind mate.

 

25 on 5 sounds compact to me, but I don't know feeding/shelter arrangements there. It might be a really tidy set up with a lot of exercise off paddock?

 

If it's iffy, don't be afraid to put in a call.

Good shout.

Have you considered the horses are using the hedge for shelter as that is the area churned up? RSPCA often not aware of animals suffering and unless you know horses would you also know and ill animal? Worm burden will be very high with that number of horses even removing the muck.

I'll bet some of them have horrendous mud fever aswell and overgrown hooves. Unless she is a lottery winner or drug dealer theres no way she is paying for a farrier.

In all seriousness rover... the woman sounds a crackpot.

If the horses are in the field while you are working they will be over..guaranteed, with some of them careering about.

I'd be willing to bet a fairly modest amount you will have a vet bill like no other come through your door when your finished.

I would be insisting the horses are out of the field or at least cordoned off.

25 horses in 5 ACRES!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you having a laugh

Does the RSPCA know about this ?

Cheers mate wouldn't be used for long periods just for the clear up when I'm finished. If you ever need a hand mate give us a shout

Been really struggling on my own lately. I desperately need to get in touch with someone locally as my usual hand is a bit out of reach now although he tries his best to assist me.

P.S .. I generally dont mix with your ' macho arb types ' but if your a genuine tree/nature person who takes health &safety seriously I would be interested in teaming up on a job in the near future with you .

I bought a bg86ce couple of months ago and have been very impressed with its power/performance. It does seem to get very hot after a little whiles use though so I would be wary using it all day .

There was a member ' shanks ' replied to my farthest north thread. Said he wasn't a pro but he is certainly in the right area ( Ullapool ). Dont know if anyone is acqainted with him.

Training and Health section on here mate, massive amount of info, big thread which should come up with a search.

 

Epicondical clasp

See a physio

Take glucosamine

Change your climbing technique

 

And yes, you will need to rest.

 

I've got mine under control now, but two years ago I thought I was finished.

 

Good luck with it mate.

Exactly the same as above.

Also try massaging a wet ice cube on to area. Masses of people on hear suffer.

Its fuuny if iwas pricing a job for example scrub clearance under my own steam id be happy with £180 all inclusive of fuel, delivery and my wage, if however someone else was using it and i wasn't in charge of the processing or work rate (ie day rate), I'd want nearer £280, thats if id even want to do it at all. actually i would, id hire one then use that so my machine doesn't get abused

I just remember at paying over £200 for a few hours chipping i should be ENTITLED to an operator!

Fair enough, I was toying with the idea of buying something like a greenmech so it'll get anywhere and hiring me and it out but if it's not gonna work I'll not bother 

I wouldn't totally rule it out . Not many companies ( two i think ) do it up here. I hire one out now and again and i see the cost is £180 plus delivery and fuel for chipper now , thats without operator. To me there must be a wage in there somewhere for an operator .

I havent heard about a new 346!

 

Whens the release date??

 

Any links or info on it??

I've been told springtime by two husky dealers which is why I'm not going for the 346xp. Read charlieh's thread on the 560xpg.

This is quite interesting because I am desperately needing a bigger saw but with the new 50cc husky coming out in spring I am very reluctant to purchase a 346xp. If the 560xpg is as good as you say it could well fill a little niche in the market and i think will have to look at this saw seriously.

I'll get conifer tuft out the way just now.

P.S I'm glad someone finds it funny !!

Lion shield ?

Good fun Thats what arbtalk is all about imo. Educational and you get a laugh along the way.
