Isn't it great when a job is unexpectedly made easier, touch! I'd say £200 is about right for a stump that size

I was audited on site yesterday and by chance my harness was 5yrs old to the day (21-01-08).

I thought that it is recommended to replace after 5 yrs not enforceable (unless of course it does not meet loler). If its in tip top condition I can't see a problem.

Whilst I completely agree that £60 a day is not great for a relatively inexperienced s/e climber to be earning, we all need to gain our experience somewhere. If you are gaining valuable experience and training (I don't know if you are or not), then £60 a day for a year or 2 is not so bad, if it can cover your expenses and give you a little social money (i'm sure more expendible finances than a student may have say) and when you are up to scratch you can reap the rewards later. There are many many threads on here from people crying out for work. £60 a day is better than £0 a day, for the time being at least. If you have been on £60 a day since you started with this company, then I would not think it be unreasonable to at least ask for £70.

regarding cost, a second hand chainsaw shouldn't cost you alot and save you alot of time.

What vehicle has SB got up fo sale jon?
-
Absolutely agree andy. The way some companies run now (mostly larger ones) is totally ludicrous.
-
Sounds like the jameson ones that you saw. But as CTS said, i'd recommend the AUS ones also. You cans get a silky saw head for them too or the bacho saw head is ok for half the price but not as good as the silky.

Thats ridiculous aint it jon

I reckon a turner would like the head of that tree.

Looking at the number plate, I believe this one was first registered in Yeovil. -
i would suggest £4k is a bit steep, but without seeig the condition it is difficult to tell. A good budget/starter chipper though

Land rover 130 twin cab tipper has anyone have one
Marc Lewis replied to mendiplogs's topic in General chat
I think you'd be sad to see the audi go jon, but you'd love the landy! I'm not much of a landy fan, but i'm thinking of something similar. -
I use this system alot using the tail of my climbing rope. So quick and easy when there is not loads to lower

Its a 2 wheel drive Ford, can't remember the model (1986/87). Trying to remember now, but I think we thought their was about 8 tons on there. The guy made that timber trailer out of an arctic lorry trailer.

haha, good haulage rates if you want a net of logs, pint of milk and a paper. No, i'm not mocking the smarts, good little motors. We got a little hyundai getz, brilliant little run around and has been known to come to work more than once.

your leagues ahead of the rest of us jon, different gravy mate:001_tt2:happy new year bud:thumbup:

Some people seem to have this idea of working up through vehicles until they get to their ideal motor. If you can afford it get it to start with
-
whats the point messin about stickin brash in a van, as redmf said, why not get a tipper straight away. if its cos of cost, get any type of pick up, way better for tree work than any van.
