It's CDO. It still means the same but at least it's in the right order

I want one if/when I get a truck. Plus combined with an arb trolley some big timber can be extracted for use as milling/carving also reduces cleanup on site. You lose a little over 200kg of payload though http://www.hiab.co.uk/default.asp?productGroupId=34343&productId=34352&docId=21385&tab=description

The great variables of tree work quoting lol

A highways agency warning said anyone travelling in icy conditions should take a shovel, blankets, sleeping bag, extra clothing, including a scarf, hat, gloves, 24 hour supply of food and drink, de-icer, rock salt, torch, tow rope, petrol can, first aid kit and jump leads.

Good for you. National minimum wage is £52per day What the day rate for a builder, electrician or gas man/woman? Arb work comes with thousands worth or trying and kit but still get paid pittance

Working neglected woodland
JLA Arborists replied to Two Acres's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I look at these occasional, I think there a little overpriced aimed more at the city folk looking for a weekend retreat/playground Also a lot of big wood blocks. Looks like they bought a wood and split into smaller bits http://www.woodlands.co.uk http://www.woods4sale.co.uk
