Nice set up there, I like how you use the schliesing as a tool carrier.

If you do a job that someone else has quoted and priced and they say: It won't take you long... It'll be a doddle... An Hour tops...,,.!!!!!!

If you see a single magpie it will bring you bad luck!! If you salute it then doing so will cancel the bad luck. !!

Thanks for this. I know doing this course will save us loads in the long run and hopefully open up other business opportunities. Our other centres around the country are stating up doing treeworks. So we're looking to do our own inspections. Thanks mate.

Ian Morgan ARB. I'm doing the course with him. He said that if we have an "independent" LOLER say once every 4th test that would demonstrate that our testing on our own kit was thorough and impartial. Thanks for the SPLICING info, very helpful. Timon

Thanks Dan, This is really helpful. We have both forms of cover in place being a large organisation. So it's up to us to manage our own risk in picking the right man for the job/s and making sure any kit he brings to work with is up to scratch. This is really helpful info. Thanks mate Timon

Thanks for this.... I guess the real question is : If for instance (God forbid) he dropped a limb through someone's conservatory or similar. Would his insurance cover it? We're having a managers meeting later this week to discuss the possibility of hiring some help and I know that this question will come up. Thanks, Timon

Due to an abundance of work booked in we might be looking to hire a subby climber. The work would be domestic. Can the subby work under his own insurance on the job or would it have to be on our insurance policy. Thanks, Timon

I'm possibly going on a LOLER course later this year. Can you get a certificate to do do your own splices and sewn eyes? So that they can be passed by an inspection. I know you can LOLER test your own kit up to three times and then you have to get an independent inspection every 4th time. Does anyone have any experience in this area? Thanks

You're welcome... There's 2 of us planning to do CS41 (or the new equivalent) with him in the new year. I know he's not the nearest to you but he is excellent. Timon

Ian Morgan ARB is in Stafford. About an hour and a bit drive depending on traffic. He's known as one of the best.... Timon

Did something very similar not long ago...... We massively underestimated how much there was and how long it would take... Ended up a right mess If I did the same again I would process it 1 tree at a time.... We just crashed everything to the deck cos we had other climbing jobs on.. The clearing up was a nightmare doing it that way...... Hope this helps.. Timon

Agreed! We run both TW150 (6") and a pto GM220 9" (125hp mog power) Whilst they are both excellent chippers, the GM is MUCH quicker by virtue of the fact that next to no snedding of branches is required and we can load bigger quantities into it. The no stress rarely ever kicks in and the power of the feed rollers is much greater so it just keeps chipping away. We find it's more economical to drag out, stack and then chip in one go or in batches on larger trees. Such is it's capacity and work rate. I think it weighs about 850kg. If we ever get a second mog we will definitely look to get a similar pto machine for it..

Mary , Mungo and Midge on the telly!

We do one regularly, it's about an acre and half. Very steep in places so a ride on is useless there.. First time we did it was pretty overwhelming.. Then each time we did it we got much quicker. Churchyards tend to be Very hard on mowers so we asked the church warden to buy a dedicated mower just for the job. They did a toro walk behind with mulch capability. We use the job to train our guys how to strim and mow. It's worked out well. It's not the best paid job but it's regular.

Congratulations mate!!!!! Timon and Lynne

We bought a green mech 220 for less than your budget and it is excellent. We run it off a mog. We're well happy with it.

Send them to us when they've made "the grade" :)
