I’m after a hook & saw head attachment for the AUS fibreglass rods, and possibly a bag if anyone is selling off any spares? If you have anything feel free to give me a shout, cheers!

Thought it was worth sharing for anyone else who has the same thoughts-large ammo box mounted on the hopper works a treat. Cheap and easy to fit, with a good seal on the lid, cost me £30 all in.
-
@MattyF cheers for the link. Did some shopping around and found a good sized ammo box for a fraction of the price, certainly won’t look as smart but I can live with that 😂
-
@MattyF any idea where he gets them from? Pretty sold on the ammo box but that looks the business!
-
Hadn’t crossed my mind for some reason, but it’ll be perfect for the job. Cheers all🤙

I’ve recently bought a tracked TW230, and I’m looking at putting a tool box on the top of the hopper for a few tools, spares etc. I had a tool box on my previous chipper, but I’m struggling to find anything that looks well made that won’t get shaken to bits in 5 minutes. I was going to mount it where the spare wheel would go on the road tow version, so plenty of room. Any suggestions welcome! Cheers

I’ve got a set of these Fitwell Chop Climber - Arborist Chainsaw Boots - Honey Brothers HONEYBROS.COM Meindl Airstream Chainsaw Boots from the UK's leading Arborist supply company, Honey Brothers tree surgery and... I’ve had them for 12 months, still keeping the water out (mostly) and the sole hasn’t started to peal yet. They’re as light as you’ll get for a climbing boot with chainsaw protection, and I’ve been really impressed with how well they’ve lasted-confident I’ll get another winter out of them at least. Scarfel lite’s last well (imo) but aren’t the most comfortable, plus they’re not light. I had the Andrews Cervino XP before these, nice and light but knackered within 6 months, never again!

THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!
- FOR SALE
- USED
I am selling my 2003 Jensen A528T. I have owned the machine for over a year, and know the previous 2 owners. It is in decent condition for its age, and has been well looked after over the last 12/18 months of my ownership. Hours are 2250 currently but will rise slightly as still in occasional use. Many new parts including main bearings, water pump, roller springs & upper UJ. Receipts for all work carried out. The paintwork is reasonable, I have repainted the outside of the hopper, back of the spout and area where hopper meets bodywork with zinc galvanised spray & orange carboxide-it was slightly rusty and I wanted to weather proof it (has worked well but obviously doesn’t match!) It’s been a brilliant little machined, and far out chips its competitors! Only selling as I have a tow behind that’s seeing a lot more use, and I can’t justify 2 machines. Price is £6000.00, firm with no VAT to pay. Give me a call on 07377 328580 for any more info. Cheers!£6,000

Possibly a bit far, but I used Kirkland Commercials in Stoke on Trent and they were brilliant. Good price and decent turn around time, plus a really good quality tipper body with lots of nice features. Worth a look even if it’s just to compare prices?

I think it’s got to be double time. You can’t work (safely) the following day, and legally you should have 11 hours between a night shift and working the following day. To my mind you need to be well enough paid to offset the fact you probably won’t be earning the next day. Plus after a few nights you feel like a zombie

I have the Fitwell Chop boots, they’re a protective chainsaw boot that is slightly lighter for climbing. So far they’ve been great, light and comfy and they’ve lasted well thus far having done a winter and 5/6 days a week every week.

Housman Tree Services are looking for a self employed utility arborist to help with ongoing works for Scottish Power. We are based in Oswestry, Shropshire and the work is in/around the Cheshire area. Candidates need to be fully qualified with in-date UA tickets and relevant aerial rescue/woodchipper/first aid all up to date. Preferably SPEN Authorised, however we can arrange authorisation if needed. If interested, please contact Tom on 07377328580

I’m sure @scott83 was looking for a climber in that area?

What’s the general consensus then? Has the domestic market gone quiet because of financial crisis, over saturation with small companies, or just the overrun of the last few years of chaos? It’s quiet in my area (Shropshire/welsh borders) but I don’t see an abundance of small gangs running around under cutting everyone. It seems to be people are cutting back on non essential spending, and that lovely reduction etc will just have to wait. I’m lucky to do some utility arb work (lucky may be the wrong word!) which is keeping us busy until things change, I wouldn’t want to be reliant on domestic work in the current climate for the next year or two.

My old boss told me that you need approximately £30/40 more a day being self employed rather than on the books. Which seems to be about right if you’re just talking about running a couple of saws, climbing kit and maybe a basic rigging kit. Being self employed is more about the benefit of flexibility and doing more enjoyable work IMO. @AHPP that article is absolutely appalling, was there any repercussions for the author or the AA after?!
