  1. This chap is advertising two brand new ms201t's in box.... Didn't f r jones have some stuff going missing a while back? STIHL MS 201T/TC CHAINSAW 2012 BRAND NEW NEVER BEEN USED | eBay Jack
  2. Hi All, So here is my situation. I'm 22 and run my own grounds maintenance business. Recently (early this year) I did some tree work with a local company, I was hooked!!! Now all I want to do is be a climber! What I'm looking for is someone who is willing to take me under their wing as it were. Now I'm guessing that all you guys out there get 100's of people applying for work etc every week!! But I think I can offer more than someone with less experience. 1. I have all my own kit, ms260, ms200t, full climbing kit, irons, helmet, class 1 and 2 trousers, saw boot. Plus a full set of hedge cutting kit (long reach and single sides Stihl) etc etc etc. 2.already run my own grounds maintenance business. 3. Can Identify most common trees by both common and Latin names. Have knowledge of some fungi and tree ailments. 4. Can fix anything! Worked repairing garden equipment from the age of 13. Can do everything from professionally sharpen a chainsaw to rebuild it. I've dismantled trees, and felled them, always using industries approved methods. I currently have no tickets, but fully intend to do my cs30,31,38,39 as I gain experience. As things are going to be very quiet over winter on the grass and garden side of things! I would like to get some work/experience throughout the winter. So if any of you guys have space for a little one for a few days over the winter months, please! Give me a chance enthusiastic, hard working. I live in Hertfordshire. I look forward to any responses and advice you guys can offer me! Jack
  3. Hi guys!! Can't believe I got two replies already! Thanks for the offer sawman, but it is a bit far ! Perhaps if you guys get a two day job I could tag along at some point? Old mill tree care, Surrey is only an hour from me, if you could offer me a few days I would be very grateful if you would like to contact me personally all my details are on my site jphorticulture.co.uk

  5. Briants of risboruogh had a bargain section of stihl "advance trouseres" £50 all in!!!! So cheap I bought 3 pairs !! All class a type 2 and class c type 1 Oh and the do mail order
  6. Hi All, I have a GriGri that use on rock and trees! great belay device on rock, works just as well as a grillon on a lanyard. If not better! bcos a GriGri slides open so you can insert the rope/line then is secured by the biner. but a grillon i think is fixed to the line? and you need a screwdriver to open it.
  7. Hi all, may have already been posted, but very useful link. Forestry Commission - Pests and diseases - Ash dieback (Chalara fraxinea)
  8. Hi All, just brought a mates spares saw! 2007 ms200t. it was cheap as chips, piston and barrel are fine. only issue is..... it has no carb !! so,anyone got a carb? or seized saw etc?? cheers, Jack
  9. Hi All, I'm in similar situation as Rich, done a bit of climbing, going in for my cs38 later this year. Have all my own kit, room for a newbie !?
  10. cheers dude! Dont want to go about things the wrong way, and do as so many do and decide that beacause i know prunus from salix and own a chainsaw im an arborist! I do know a few local firms, and i will indeed pester them for some work
  11. Hi All, Major newbie here! My situation is, Im 22 and I run a grounds maintenance business, I love what i do! But would really like to get into Arb. I have a good (ish!) knowledge of tress, identification and so on. I have also done a bit of climbing/ground work and have my own saws and climbing kit ETC.... I currently have no tickets (cs) So at the end of this month i was panning on doing my cs38..... so my question is: what is the best route into work? go in as a compete newbie!? get a cs30-31??? would really like to get some work (part time) to gain experience! Go easy on me! although i have done un-qualified work, i dont drive round in a tranni tipper with greedy boards
