  1. get yourself the correct training its a legal requirement if you are working on somebody else s property I lost a good friend to a wind blown conifer not a good place to start. there are some good vids on you tube there are also some really bad ones as a complete novice you have no way of working out whats good and bad. go for the training its well worth the money
  2. I always sharpen by hand check out the husky guides they're pretty cool. I also have an oregon sure sharp but the only time I use it is if I hit some thing in the tree I find for every day use it eats chains for breakfast they dont last long at all and i can get them much sharper by hand plus you are spending longer looking at the chain you are more likely to spot any damage which could be potentially dangerous
  3. chances are you are reacting to oak pollen not good for a tree worker. Try benadryl 1 a day works for me without any nasty side affects like most of the stuff i have tried. good luck bud
  4. sounds good mate keep things up together if i were you particularly the sawdust and bark me and my mates have lost so many rented yards over the years because of this. I run things from a retired farmers place now its ideal my bits the tidy area
  5. I would buy the best chipper you can afford. If you go for a small gravity fed chipper look at the size of the drum and the bottom of the feed shoot go for the biggest you can find. This makes feeding brash much easier otherwise you will have to cut it into small pieces or force it into the chipper which is dangerous. I started out with a lawn fight pro mounted on the front of a plant trailer. What a nightmare once you use a hydrolicly fed chipper you will never go back. i would say hire a few different machines until you find something you like. I now use a timberwolf 150
  6. try arborists knots for climbing and rigging by sharonj lily and peter donzelli. Honey brothers have an excellent selection of books. good luck with your tickets bud its a dodle
  7. be careful with these people had one the other day that called the police and made a complaint that i had threatened him with a chainsaw. all my guys could vouch for me that this was a lie but the whole thing took 3 hours to sort out all the time i was still paying my crew. before i start a job now i knock on all the neighboughs doors and let them know what im doing that way you soon work out if some one is anti what you are doing and make sure your arse is water tight. i have even got some work from doing this so its not so bad
  8. Check out morbark they are stupid money though even for a secondhand machine with lots of hours
  9. Based in southampton area looking for work. Have own ppe,saws,climbing gear, rigging, chipper and truck on a self employed basis give me a call pete 07947202846
