How do you like it?  Had one with the powershift gearbox on demo last year. Very very good little tractor. It's like an a series with the bells and whistles of an n series.

Yes it replaced an Aseries. N would have been too big so size wise it’s perfect. Yes it’s grand, no complaints so far - it’s got front axle suspension so smooth AF

Most manufacturers have a HAVS exposure chart for each machine that they produce on their websites, usually a traffic light system.

You can look at the machine, the amount of hours you are pulling the trigger and work out your exposure time and record it.

I have seen HAVS watches being used by the Environment Agency which activate an alarm when exposure has been met. Forestry England have HAVS monitors attached to saws etc, they plug it in to a laptop at the end of the week and record the data.

HSE advice against the type of recording you say that the EA and FC conduct:

The 3-day First Aid at Work course is not obligatory. The requirement is to do a FA 'needs assessment' and train etc. accordingly.

 

Hence, for the majority of operational staff the 1-day 'industry specific' (+F) course is suitable. Many FA providers offer this ow often labelled as EFAW for Tree Surgeons or similar, and usually include the '+F' suffix on the certificate.

However, within an FA assessment if you are working in remoter sites (which could  cover many things not roadside) then you could easily need to keep a casualty alive for a longer period before help arrives. Hence the need for FAW+F if you’re using saws, tree felling etc in such a scenario.

Why do so many people look into how their tree should have been treated and who by after they have had the work done?

Seems arse about face to me.

Because they’re first consideration is how much it’ll cost and they then employ cowboys

Anyone know whether this is some type of Hypoxylon sp? If so what? It’s on an ash (80cm dbh) growing over an area of missing bark and decay at the base
