Big uprooted trees are particularly dangerous, a wind blown course would be an idea.

Just pay it. It's your responsibility. Even volunteers are classed as employees.

Try China, farmertec etc. About a £5. Delivered.

Nothing

So go hire some kid, fresh out of arb college. Loads of tickets. Completely useless as has no experience on sites.

Colleti, Put your day rate up by £10 In six months time do it again. If you're good at what you do you'll get it. [emoji106]

When's the last time you had to get a plumber, electrician, chippy etc. £200+ per day That's all over the country. My point is if we under value our services we only have ourselves to blame. If employers don't want to pay a decent/competitive wage, they face staff problems as we constantly see on here. People leave and setup their own business.
-
If you under value yourself, your abilities and your kit. That's your choice.

You can't buy 12 years of chainsaw and tree experience.

0.5mm of wear then change.

I'll say it again. And people wonder why they can't get decent staff? Start fecking paying a decent wage. [emoji51]
-
That's your rates not mine. [emoji106]
-
You presume wrong. Most firms I work for on a regular basis have been about and know how much a decent worker costs. I agree some firms just want someone in ppe. I do that occasionally.
-
You want a pro with all the kit to do a job,or a 20year old to drag brash? If it's the latter you're not going to call me. I expect a half decent wage. This is subbing. No holiday pay No sick pay All my kit upkeep,aspen,bio oil. Work that against paye, I'm quite reasonably priced.

Chipper grade

I know how to use all that kit to make your 3 day job into a 2 day job.

No. But lime can have.

You've been there! [emoji51]

That's half your problem. I've just moved to Huddersfield, and I've spoken with a few local firms. Rates are really bad here. I'm probably going back down south for subbing.

Poplar has stringy inner bark, large growth rings and often little spiky growths under the bark.
-
Bark looks poplar
-
I totally agree in principle, the problem is reality. You get paid literally pennies per tree.

There's a major difference between felling a 50' conifer in Mrs miggins back garden and forestry. Domestic arb, spend a morning or day taking a tree down. In forestry you will be expected to knock down 50-100+ a day, snedded and cut to length. You might take a couple of steps back.
