  1. Right here's a picture of the tree, Looks like a larch to me. Duno if its a strait fell, probably not. Looks fairly strait forward.
  2. Thought I'd add this on here. I'm going to price my first job up soon.( Haven't seen it or got pics of it yet) all I no is all wood and brash is staying there. What things should I take into account when pricing it? Is it just a case of having an hourly rate for how many people on job, how many hours your guna be there, Fuel, equipment wear n tear?
  3. That's because I was on holiday in Lincolnshire. Found this big park with a huge lake to walk around, with a woodland walk round the lake. Can't remember what it was called, I'll ask my girl friend later on.
  4. I pretty sure your right Le, just google French pollard an you'll see.
  5. Reduction on these 3 white beams this morning.
  6. Air filters get soaked in fuel when layed down( air filter downward on floor ) and they don't start, happened to me too many times. Them 4 mix are piece of ****. Make sure it's always sitting upright, and someone on here said to me always have spare air filters so if it happens u can change it over.

  11. Thankyou for the offer mason but its a bit far. I'm willing to travel, just not 3 hours there n back. Thanks again
  12. Yeah I think that's what I'm intending you to do dan, then I got something to fall back on. There's a lot of tree surgeons round my area(Norfolk) and iv phoned round and pretty much all of em use self employed workers, and at the time I phoned them they said they could give me days here & there.
  13. Thanks for the wise word stubby. Do have a few worrys, my 2 year old daughter and rent, bills etc. it's possibly not having a constant income that worrys me, but my current boss says I can still do regular work for him so I think I may be alright. I just need to go for it really.
  14. Hi everyone! thinking about going self employed but Im a bit unsure on what to charge as my day rate? Im 25 years old and i have ---Cs30,31,38 soon to be 39 too Level 3 btec in forestry and arboricilture cscs card Nptc competencey card for flail, rotary mowers, hedge cutters/ brush cutters. Full driving licence. Ive been a landscape gardener on the books for 4 years almost now so have chainsaw, chipper experience but no actual groundy experience. Boss at the moment is ok with me going self employed and I'm still able to have work off him. so few days here and there with different tree surgeons to start would be ideal, just need to build up the contacts up.

  17. Yeah it is especially when cs38 course is a 5 day course alone!
  18. We had the same problem with kombi's and hl95's. if you leave them on the side with the air filter facing down, the filter gets soaked in fuel and don't start. So watch how u place them on the back of your van cos its a bastard when u get to a job and you can't start your hedge cutter.
