90% of the time a groundie is picking up sticks and putting them into a machine. That's why the pay is low for them.
-
In my experience the only very good groundie are climbers, or ex climbers. Just saying.

I agree with joe if it's a big job I sub in my old lead climber who I climbed with for years. He knows everything and anything that will or may happen and can finish off my climb if I can't. I pay him £150 cash. For smaller jobs I pay a local groundie £80 through the books.
-
I'd pay you £80 a day, if you were an amazing worker and you could second guess my every move £100, if you could go up and finish my massive oak reduction after lunch to my standards then £150. Hope this helps.

Very strange might make your business come across as quite Rapey. Just my impression.

I found it gets better after a few tank fills.

Great thread! -
Yeah the leg loops do come undone every now and again but i haven't found it to be a problem. I prefer it to the tree motion as it is less cumbersome.

My 280 is ok will keep as a back up! At £120 it can afford to get dusty.

Sounds like your working for the council. If so you can't change things it's a big slow cumbersome machine and nobody cares because it's not profit driven.

It's a box elder. Acer negundo

You could air spade and use bio char but that can be costly, a cheaper and very effective option would be to mulch around the drip line of the tree! Was a good thread on here about the subject. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=97935

Ice on the bites, anthisan then hydrocortisone cream and anti histimine! Oh and when u get bit bad u get really paranoid about any sudden movement and develop reflexes like a ninja! I caught and dismembered 10 in one day a few years back! Also Using a rake in long grass antagonises the *****!

If you are sat at a bar drinking all day and someone throws a bottle at you you may decide to attack said bottle thrower, And so the situation escalates!
