  1. There seems to be a problem in the industry. I think its down to a general lack of experience (my opinion only) and offering £750 a week is freaking people out...£750 may seem to some people like a high pressure job and you are met with reluctance and inexperience. Advertise a chipper op job or groundsman at the same amount per week and see what happens ? You wont struggle to fill the position.

    Again (in my opinion) anyone who has experience and willing to work a normal week and do a few extra hours, push the job, make things happen etc, etc, already has the job you are advertising.

    Not sure what the answer is, but know what you are up against.

    Good Luck though.

    Must hold NPTC Units 313 (CS32) & CSCS as a minimum, with a proven, checkable background.

    Candidate (s) would be required to be competent to fell and process large trees without advice or supervision.

  4. thinning is about cutting, small trees, removing brush and clearing paths and brush in order to get a better crop at the end and at second thinning so piece work should be used.

    Think you'll find you are wrong, 1st thinning is removing the smaller trees (not scrub or brush) from a planted crop in order to allow light which generates growth on the remaining trees. Don't think the FC would pay you to clear scrub and paths as a means of 1st thinning. Used to get £12.00 per tonne 15 years ago to do 1st thinnings, didn't make any fortunes, but would have made even less cutting scrub and brush or clearing pathways on £12.00 per tonne :001_huh:

  5. Vacum pipe is a re-call by Mitsubishi, I have 2 a 56 Diamond and an 08 Animal and had the 2 done. All they did was put a spring clip on it. Spent a lot of money on diagnostics and getting codes reset though. Rear springs are also a ball ache, always busting. Mitsubishi say they have improved the engines now !!! Don't have any problems with the Hilux though but certainly wouldn't touch another L200.

  6. Hi,

     

    Looking for a driver to deliver woodchipper and trailer from Camden, North London - Peterborough on Sat night and deliver back to Wembley area Sunday morning after shift. Don't need PTS or require you to work on the shift. Vehicle and fuel supplied, Must have category BE on licence. Will pay 12 hours £29.00 per hour. If interested, and if no damage is caused in the process I can offer work most weekends and some midweeks.

     

    Cheers

  7. Hi,

     

    Why all the whining and groaning about wages? Bosses going skiing, fancy cars, houses etc etc etc ? Making a fortune of some inexperienced college knob with a CS 30-31, who cant even sharpen a saw, and naff all experience.

    Supply your own vehicles, insurance all the kit, repairs to go with it and start up your own business, then you can have all the luxuries in life !!!! Cant actually understand why your looking for a job ???

    But on a serious note, i'll pay you £30.00 a day, just to turn up for the entertainment factor.

  8. Hi,

     

    Does anyone know of any standing timber for sale in Herts, Beds, area. (Any quantities considered)

    Preferably large spruce (Sitka, Norway) would also consider Western Red Cedar depending on quality, also hardwood lots.

    Paid up front on agreed Tariff if required. Will do own felling and extraction.

     

    Cheers
