I've got the HCA 265 lw and it's great would highly recommend it!

Will the stihl carving bar fit the courtesy saw?

Used CAVAT at college it seemed to be the better of the tree valuing systems.

Why bother?

Inform the FBI or the CIA!

Empires and allies is good, war tortoise, clash of clans! Check the top charts the highest grossing ones are usually good!

Sorry to hear that mate! Can't think of much worse.

Good luck!

You make a good point and if I was at the stage where I had invested in a chipper and had a couple of guys on the books then I may of felt the same way! On the other hand that is my goal! To have a nice van and chipper and to employ a couple of people! So how am I going to get to that goal? Hand outs? No! Help from others? No! Finance? No! I will get there earning where I can from any opportunity! I stated early on in this thread that I had just started doing Saturday work! HMRC reckons I have 3 months to declare this! So sorry to those setting the noose for my tax evasion trial. Employers liability insurance! ffs I will wait until I employ someone before I even go there! Public liability insurance I have been looking at, but can I state again I am very early on in doing Saturday work! We ain't all perfect! If I come across a 50m poplar leaning over Buckingham palace I may speed up this process! I am doing small trees in big gardens! This thread didn't turn out like I thought it would but that's how threads go! I like Mike D's quote and that is what I will take from this. I haven't killed any customers yet😂😂😂😂😂😩

I think it was you who made said spectacle, setting it up like a little trap! Whatever gets you going on a Sunday! I fear this forum gets over taken by bitter grumpy old men at times who have never set a foot wrong in their lives! I can only hope that one day I am such a pillar of society but until then I will just carry on being a normal bloke trying to get by.

Whatever pleases you kind sir .

What has that got to do with you or this thread!

No unfortunately it's south of the border.

I shall expect to be arrested and sacked and probably hung, drawn and quartered then!!

Haha my friend has one called Frank the Tank. Great dogs can walk for miles much to people's disbelief.

😂😂 best answer yet to my question and one which I shall be using! Thank you 👍🏻

Thanks for the information. I believe it is irrelevant to me at the present moment in time. I may pay it more attention if I go self employed. My work is not rough it is the same as it is when working for professional companies which I do during the week. The job just takes a bit longer as I drag my own brash. Every tree surgeon I have ever known has done some form of tree work on their own whether it be paid or just pruning their parents trees! Sinners the lot of us.

So if my mum helps me when I am cutting her grass unpaid, I need employers liability insurance!

What a load of ****! Well I better hope the FBI don't helicopter in and bust me at my next job!

My best friend Dennis the pug!

By grumpy old men😂

I don't think I am devaluing the industry! I am a good climber who does a good job. I quoted the job for a fair price (£300). This job did not need a 3 man team and a chipper. It took me from 9 till 3, the garden was spotless afterwards and the customer happy and knackered after all his secateur work. What about that is devaluing the industry?

It was a Saturday job, I'm not a big firm just a climber who makes a bit of extra money at the weekend. Patronising?? I was simply describing my clients over willingness to help as this is what the thread is about. My work is always professional. Are you are implying by climbing on my own as unprofessional? Not every tree needs a big team to take it out!

I agree

He kinda started without any communication so to ask him to help felt a bit rude. I dunno maybe he would of been happy to it's hard to judge those sort of situations. It was a terraced house and the drag was a bitch!
