    Would you consider someone new to the industry? self funding through courses, have my own ppe, saws inc a 562xp, climbing kit ( rec climbing and doing the odd dead wood help for mates at the moment. plan is tickets up to climbing so could ground with rescue capabilities in the near ish future, based in willington derby. full clean license etc

    No problem, call me tomorrow. 07971 571312.

  2. Get a decent climber in and you stay on the ground. To start with, just use a trailer to remove brash no need to splash out and buy a van & Chipper straight away. 

     

    Buy tools as and when needed, and for lowering, a rope over a crotch will be enough to get you started and keep costs to a minimum.

     

    Keep the day job for as long as possible and work weekends, bring the Mrs in to help as they don,t need paying. (Luckily mine has gone shopping so wont read this.)

     

    Above all, you will know this. Dont get into debt.

     

    Been going 6yrs and to start with got a lot of advise from reading Steve Blair and Tom D posts. They covered everything from marketing, quoting and working efficiently.

  3. Am sure when i replaced mine, the 3 bolts that you have taken out i then screwed into the other holes that are threaded.

     

    Tighten up, that should push off the pulley.

     

    On the taper, there is a grub screw on the rim, undo this and the taper should come off.

     

    Don,t like i did, hammer a screwdriver into the slot on the taper to prise apart as it suffs it. Or wack it with a hammer as this stuffs it also.
