  1. Hi I've got a few days free this week so looking for work climbing or groundie, I have Cs 30/31/38/39/47/48 ua1/2.1/2.2/5/5.1 chipper and grinder tickets and first aid up to date. 07718363040 Thanks
  2. I've pmd you, I did try to call but haven't managed to catch you
  3. Hi I'm looking for contacts in the Bordeaux to Bergerac regions of France, arborists interested in subby climber or employed, utility companies running teams etc will look at all opportunities, I also have my surveyor tickets and will have my pti by time I'm over, I'm going to be over next week to visit and hopefully find work for once the move is finalised. All help appreciated
  4. Had initial problems with hot start but love it now it's working correct and find it a great saw to use
  5. I find mine great, use it every time I climb, simple to use and remove from the ground after a climb, the best thing I have purchased and well worth the money.
  6. <p>Hi I've read through the posts on France thread, I'm thinking of going employed if I first go over or just subby climb initially, I've been offered a nice property over there and wondering about prospects going employed there</p>

  7. Might be worth phoning your local hauliers where it's going and asking if they'll pick it up and drop it off on a back load as could well do it cheaper and they'll be able to use the correct locks on a flat bed which will be safer, back loads can charge peanuts as it's free money for them
  8. Just watched an idiot trying to hold up a 60ft tree he's cut through from falling by trying to hold it back up, is it me or is this program an amazing opportunity to see bad practise
  9. Hi are both websites the same company?
  10. 660 had problems with chain brake locking on when hot or not locking on when hot, I'm not that keen on Stihl anyway though, I do just find husqy get on with me better, I find them more comfortable to use
  11. Not keen on the 660 as seem faults with them, though I'm going of Stihl in general.
  12. Thankyou for advice 395 is where I'll go.
  13. Thanks what things break what problems have you had with them.
  14. Hi I'm looking at investing in a large saw as I'm finding I could do with a 36" bar more often then I thought, has anyone got experience with husqy 395 or 3120 and could you tell me the faults and usability of both/either that you have had. Thanks
  15. Silver birch dismantle, willow prune and shape 4 overgrown conifer kills and an evaluation of a very rotten sycamore that had a tpo and customer hadn't got permission for dismantle yet.I wanted to post pics but can't see how too.
  16. Thanks in the woods I don't mind traveling and camping for a week if you need a subby and have a weeks work any time
  17. Thanks it's the strangest thing because u feel comfortable but it likes a shaking,
  18. Thanks and glad others get it, I study a lot of vids of work by others and then try and think on the good things I can pick up, I've not been uncomfortable or worried on any jobs so far but still seem to get the same thing and mostly thinking I'll get a good ribbing for it on jobs if anyone ever notices
  19. My advice comes from someone who's fairly new to industry after making the same decision. First the best guys in your area to work with and study how they do everything as there is a huge difference in the standards of work between companies in the standards of there work and how safely they work, look at getting as much training as you can not the bare minimum to be able to work in the industry and be sure that your picking the right career as it's a very expensive industry to move into I've spent 10k so far and still got a degree in arboriculture to do at night for the next 3 years. Quality of the gear you buy makes a huge difference in the job to how easy or hard it is I would not trust anyone else's gear on a job but my own, be prepared to be the hardest working guy on any job you do till your proven as this will make you a lot more work, it's amazing how many companies are used to climbers coming down once high work is done and saying thanks where's my coffee and my part is done instead of getting stuck in brashing clearing and finishing off the job and if your prepared to do anything u'll do well and they'll use you over more experienced guys because of your attitude!
  20. At moment it just makes me get moving quicker so I don't look daft at first point in tree .
  21. Yeah, was wondering if it's common
  22. Since October, it's only a 5 minute thing but seem to do it in 1 leg every time then it stops and I'm good for the day,
  23. Every time I climb for the first 5 mins in a tree I do a good impression of shaking Stevens,it's normally when I get to first crotch then sorts itself out for the rest of the job, never happens at the top of the tree or when I'm cutting or limb walking, just wondering if anyone else has simular experience when climbing?
  24. <p>Thankyou</p>

  25. Thankyou, could you let me know how you altered the auto tune if mine doesn't come Bach fixed and working correctly,I'm going to try aspen on all my saws to see if I see improvements anyway
