Hi all,
just a straight foward question I have been thinking about.
At what level of training could some one call theirselves a tree surgeon?
Is it just a title that anyone with a CS30/31 can call theirselves or do you have to reach a certain level of certification before entitlement.

I've had the MS260 and 346XP and I'm now on a 550XP. All excellent saws.
For your needs I'd go for a new Makita - this shop was linked in another thread and I'd say get the full pro Makita for less than £310:
Makita DCS5031-45 Chainsaw Petrol 2 Stroke Easy Start
Better off with the new saw IMO.
I totally agree, it's an amazing bargain that's too good to miss so I tried to buy one myself this very afternoon. They had no idea what was advertised on their website and the best they could do was a Makita DCS 520 for £378.
If it's too good to be true, it usually is.

Hi there Banana, read DTC's post, LOVELY little Dolmar and also take a look at the link below. They seem to be popular with the Royal Engineers.

VW T4 swb 1000kg 96 p reg. Best thing I ever bought and the worst thing I ever sold, big regret getting rid of it. Sheets of 8x4, pallets of bricks (1.3 tons) and an Ifor williams with another pack of bricks on no problem. The little 1.9l 68 hp diesel never failed once. I got in 2001 mint with 40k on the clock ran it for 9 years and only had to replace the back exhaust, battery and cam belt plus the occasional pair of tyres, oh and a rear spring. I would bet that I could have seen 200k on the clock if I kept long enough. I'd have another if I could.

I had this image in my mind that it was some one who could undertake advanced pollarding or dismantling dangerous trees in confined spaces and the like, maybe I 've confused them with firewood merchants
