  1. Had a hawthorn hedge reduction today 20ft wide 20ft high 8ft deep roughly, customer wanted reducing by about 6ft. If I never do 1 again I'll be happy! Hands feel like I have been squeezing puffer fish all day! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Work positioning and fatigue I would say are the 2 biggest contributing factors to accidents. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  5. Any reason why not spliced eye krab chokered off? Have you tested your weight on that? I may have to steal that set up[emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  6. Timon when you are chogging down how have you got your ZZ configured? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  7. Yes it stinks that your house goes BUT you or your family pick your care home, you can base it off cost, area, cqc reports level of staff whatever... if it's £1000 a week it doesn't matter if you end up in credit from house sale because you live too long it doesn't matter government take over the payments you stay in same home. If you do not have a pot to piss in then the government pay from the off but you go into a care home based on places available and cheapest cost possible so you end up somewhere that stinks of p!ss that is understaffed. As to contributing to employer pensions you now know that cost is there and can not be avoided so you could always cost it in in the future by lowering salary offered by 3%. 3% of £20,000 is 1 half decent tree take down.

    Which Van?

    Mitsubishi Canter, Toyota Dyna, Nissan cab star or Isuzu Grafter? Any problems or common faults to look out for? Time is getting near to have a change, currently in an 03 warrior and looking for something bigger now, I'll be buying second hand. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  13. iPhones have the health app built in click on it press next fill in your medical ID then when your phone is locked press the home button, emergency, medical ID and you have the same info as that ICE app. It's a great idea that hopefully you'll never need to use, I'd post pics but I'd rather not advertise the wife's phone number haha!

  15. think the tree already had a small crack but Dorris extended it last week. Amazing how far the sap had risen for this time of year. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  16. Any chance of a pic of the tree in its entirety? Be a shame to take it down to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. If you have the money for the fast track course go for it. You may find that climbing isn't your thing but in equal measure you may find it is! Surely using the colleges kit under the guidance of an instructor is the safest way to learn. You may have to man up and push yourself if you don't like it and worst case scenario is you may be happier to be a groundie but you'll offer aerial rescue and have a good understanding of what is going on in the tree.

    The guy in the video comes across as a bit of a tool however are the examples he makes actually happening or not? Is he right or wrong? This isn't me taking sides or offering an opinion I am genuinely interested in the answers. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. I think new they are around £280 if memory serves I'd personally offer half price for the saw in question. I'd say that's fair to both parties. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
