  1. Have faith in your equipment and techniques Coletti. Good luck
  2. If you are ever (working) in the Shaftesbury area, I can take plenty. Good access etc
  3. Try Hi-Line, they are recruiting at the mo. good luck
  4. wow, what a beautiful location.
  5. I tried one on at the APF, very very comfy. When are they due to be released?
  6. Sometimes these road closed signs are put out purely to protect the driver and their vehicle. A flood a regular family car cannot get through, a larger vehicle can with ease.
  7. What is the speed like of the Titan pro8 ton BM?
  8. When the fuel spout inevitably fails, i put an oil spout on the fuel end, although its not non spill, it lasts!
  9. i recently bought some stihl bib and brace type c from jonesie which seem very good quality for the price. they are £100 + vat so a little more than you want to spend. Seems like tommy could have a good deal for you though. If all else fails, sips tend to be good value for money. good luck
  10. Cheers mixd, those dickies sound ok, i hate having to take off boots to put waterproof trousers on and off. Might have to check out that place in frome when i'm next passing jon, cheers mate
  11. Hey paul, yeah we'll certainly catch up at jon's zummerset zider bash you! Is there any tools or plant in this company that are not brand new....must be terrible having to use all this brand new kit!
  12. I would suggest getting a husky 550 xp with 15" bar. You can pick one up for a little under £500 incl vat. I've just purchased one and am really pleased with it. I would spend an extra £30 and get the heated handle and then look forward to those cold winter mornings!!
  13. Horizontal rain here and blowing pretty hard. Had a shut down today so no getting out of it or knocking off early. Cut and climb jacket came into its own today, wish i could say the same about my waterproof trousers, time to invest in some new ones i think, any recommendations? Went to pick up my ladders from a site i left them at a few weeks ago and the whole wood was flooded, will have to wait until it receeds.
  14. Nice avatar paul....all you need now is a new pfanner protos lid and you'll well away. Looks like you've landed on yer feet there bud. watch out for the dog shite in those parks.
  15. xmas trees
  16. Hey paul, really pleased for you on your new job mate. .
  17. I have a dead oak which has seasoned standing and that reads 14% on moisture meter
  18. Hey best of luck with the arb interview paul.
  19. ok for cleaning cameras, keyboards and that sort of thing. not really enough power for saws etc
  20. sounds like you got a fair bit of draggin to do! If there is loads, get a few young lads on like £40-50 a day to do it.
  21. I worked on a site near Keswick that were extracting typical size xmas trees by helicopter in nets in 1995.
  22. IMO unit 41 is far more beneficial and i would do this one first. Like you dilz, i just took the assessment for 40. You do however need unit 40 before you can take unit UA2.3
  23. must have earnt his boss a few bucks though.....that must be a fair amount of climbing to do that.
  24. You gotta check that chain on return jon. The very nature of using a large saw like that is often you are cutting in and around the butt on old trees where people have banged in nails and fencing over the years. Good luck jon.
  25. The old VW at Castlemorton, hope you weren't the one with the deep cut on the foot...that was messy for me, and I was quite battle hardened by then:001_smile: Nice derail... great party's, great times:001_smile:
