I would side with Khriss on this Ryan, However skilled your volunteer workforce is, dealing with someone else’s windblown free of charge doesn’t stack up (no pun intended) The inherent danger of dealing with something as unpredictable weight, volume, tension and compression of windblown trees isn’t a job to be done for “free”. I understand it’s leased on your part, and honestly I’m not telling you how to run your business, but if the majority of fellas on here are telling you it’s dangerous, well...... that’s why skilled tree work costs money. I doubt Fred Dibnah dropped many chimneys for a cup of tea and a biscuit..... As I say Ryan, I’m not just stirring the proverbial but maybe a longer term budget should be planned to have paid foresters come in and do RAMS and associated works. All the best with the project Best wishes Ian

Arb Association approved contractors, Solihull/Birmingham.
Yorkshire Brummie replied to ChrisG's topic in Employment
Not sure if they are still AA approved but T.Mousleys’s at Claverdon, Solihull are worth giving a ring. Very experienced outfit who will do the job right. Cheers Ian -
How much for a m3 load delivered?
Yorkshire Brummie replied to defender tipper's topic in Firewood forum
If a “Large Dumpy Bag”(which probably equates to 0.65-0.75m3) around here in North Yorkshire is £65, then that would tally with Hedger and Rough Hewn’s area Cheers I -
I run a 57 plate Mazda BG50, it certainly ain’t a looker but copes with everything it gets thrown at it![emoji106]

Hang on Fellas, I’m really no expert and equations like this one made my eyes bleed at school, but in a nutshell. Is it down to a combination of the 3? Engine power output x sprocket size x bar/chain length A bit like that balancing birds conundrum thing in the back of the in-laws newspaper? Then you have to add contributing factors sharpness of chain, operator fitness/skill, balance of saw/bar combo?

That sounds the winner[emoji122]Trip to the butchers tomorrow [emoji106]

This is the very reason I’ve begun to try and cherry pick nature loving clientele in the domestic garden work we do. An absurdly higher number of people (regardless of the size of their properties) seem to crave “sterile/clean” gardens bereft of any leaf/habitat piles, hardstanding areas glysophated till it perfumes the air and planting resembling telly tubby land. Do you think if we could monetise habitat creation, it would create a greater understanding of ecological balances in people’s/public properties thus addressing climate change and further to that highlighting the value to clientele of using bonafide/knowledgable Arborists? Cheers I

How wet is it Ben? Is establishing a reed bed as part of the overall landscaping a possibility? http://ww2.rspb.org.uk/Images/bringing_reedbeds_to_life_tcm9-385799.pdf Cheers I

Nah you are spot on, they are great for B & B’s, have seen them so full of insects the whole plant seems alive! Just have a pet hate of remedial pruning overgrown Cotoneater horizontalis hanging off old stone walled properties, Killing my secateurs/silky on clumps of crumbly mortar and trying to avoid the inevitable “invisible” aerial/broadband cables!

Poor Mrs Ratman, sounds like she gets the blame for everything [emoji85]? Cotondisaster, the Devil’s work! (unless you are a [emoji219] ) Get the saw out ! [emoji33]

I hope after politely declining their “generous” offer Bill, you took your shirt off and hung it on their gatepost as you left! [emoji106]???

If you’re in Huddersfield Saul, it’s bout the same an hour North at seat of Yorkshire dales. Maybe rain relenting a bit but still blowing a hoolie! If it’s like this North of the border I suggest the winners at Murrayfield today will be the ones that keep the ball tucked up their jerseys and don’t try to kick anything! Cheers I

I agree, I have seen a number of Spanish brooms in domestic gardens over the years split then turn their toes up for no apparent reason!

A few years back I did the RFS cert in Arb at a local Agricultural college. A good informative part time course shoe horned into a year to run along side various practical CS units. One of the stats they gave that stuck in my head was that the Arb. world had a really high accident rate, higher than it should have probably been, because the HSE reports “lumped” it all in the same tray as Agricultural mishaps. This is 20 odd years ago mind, does this still happen when the various industry catastrophes are rolled out? Sorry to derail thread... I think it’s pretty much agreed that wood for work on most accounts is a P**s take Cheers I

Yeah everyone knows a farmer wearing “chainsaw proof wellies” and with hairy ears and a cap “doubling” as ear cans and a proper lid! ?[emoji850]?
