Tree monkey 1682

The cs362 t is just a bit bulky/slow not what I thought it would be from echo even though ive put a few tanks through it, its ok on the bigger work. regarding echo id agree with you . Cs362t reminds me of the cs270 the earlier top handle ...but at least it runs !

I've two of the two 362tes, from new , bit bulky but OK echo haven't really cottoned of to furthering the machines . Can't common of echo 2511 have seen local council use them the other day and it did remind me of the stihl 020t . I've got the mitox clone of the echo 2511 , cheap quick and so far has been good . Don't like stihl being hit and miss with certain models .

Never liked the aa, some of the people they approved were quite good at 'butchery' use that as a loose term for tree surgery/ aboriculture.Then also is industry best practice's coming from people who have never been in the industry -correct me if I'm wrong . Its like a club , buy in and everything will be fine -no matter what you do or have done .

Which ones new and old? I had a new rope spliced buy manufacturer, they said the tighter splice was to stop the karibeener moving around in the splice if its the one on the left

Probably more capable lift wise and quicker over a long distance

I've got cpcs ,360 above and below ten ton with lifting ops , npors forward tip dumper and roller - the latter of the two was only because I couldn't get cpcs locally in those two categories at short notice .how ever I was looking at either a drott cert or tracked skidsteer cpcs but its the fun of finding a site to get them converted that meets nvq criteria. Somewhere ive nvq2 forestry with forwarders and stuff like that ,then the is the usual for arboriculture and being a climber.

Is that because they don't have a qualified instructor in, cpcs or forestry machinery certs.? Or are they npors We have a tracked dumper , its still covered on site as a tracked dumper. Is this npors or lantra that did a cert?

Most of the decent compact track loaders are over a ton in weight,but you might want too look at the merlo cinglo compact track skidsteer might be a bit lighter also u can get hydraulic winches and flails for same machine. But expect to have to take cpcs in tracked skidsteer certs or tracked carrier cert on anything to do with utilities.

The wasvan entec tree buster , on FB recently, very capable machine at 700 pounds will eat 4 inch all day , gravity fed

What's the point , you know it all , all in doing is going by the machines ive used ,known or owned

All of the new stuff was built down to a price, one of the tw 150s locally had alloy vanes on the back of the flywheel, compared to the entec chippit 35 dh ,which was identical, then u had issues with the bearings . Then another associate had the early tw 150 tracked and it wouldn't hold on the hill (tracked version) shit hydraulics . Tw 160 ph , is the new entec ch25 built with a decent kohler engine the were built well. Then timberwolf brought out the same model as the tw 125 but available in petrol or diesel varients , diesel was lombardini and shook it self to shit ,but with a single feed roller . Then the was the 12 inch chipper, road tow but they were dropped, U had the tw240 but that's been stopped ,and the small shredder that's been stopped now . That's timberwolf that I know want me to go on about greenmech , quick chip/ts , tp lindana, pezzolato . Surprised being in France your not pushing saelen. Got to stop the slagging off its not clever and is poor form, just got admit other people sometimes have better knowledge about equipment and that's been gained over years and other people setups or business's.

Coming from someone who changed career later on in life ..need i say more ...yeah I'm sure i don't know much about arboriculture ,only my first placement was when I was 13...I was using a chipper back then ..an entec 35 , some of the machines now built are 💩 built down to a price like everything ... but I'm sure you know best I'm always wary of people who change careers midlife ,or try and re invent themselves...me I'm neither...but European stuff is built better than British stuff ,in the way of chippers . What do u want to know mick? Drop the bitchy carpy attitide first .

I've had alot of mates run entecs , timberwolfs ,gravely ,tp lindana ,jensen, pezzolato, greenmech , kwickchip .. alot of the tw machines have alloy fans to eject the chip.. The are alot of decent refurbished machines for under that budget ..its knowing what your looking for ...would nt buy tw probably not nor would I buy green mech. I'd only buy European, better built like ts,lindana ...the pezzolato I have is alot better built than the current machines . And like it or not where I didnt come into the career later on in life ive seen machines come and go , all you want is a basic machine that's lightweight,that also you can unjam should it get jammed up...and basic so easy worked on. Only reason the isn't more European machines is due to a price ..id need to look at what ever I purchase next ..ie spares But alot of machines are built down to a price now.....

Need training , try lbs training Wellington.... he's ex forces,served in Afghanistan and teaches , really good teacher ...and whilst i was updating the were 3 service personel on the same course ...

I've had someone pay me through PayPal, and the money was done through there wallet version...it pissed me off as id invoiced him and id not known what what he paid me ... thankfully his fkd off back to London now

The 230 and 160, also forst are dire

Dunno why u wouldnt buy an entec chippt 35 and spend a couple of grand overhauling it ,it used to suck in 6" had a good throughput , if u could get it to the feed rollers the machine would do the rest. Probably better than the tw 160, and alot better built than two later offerings .

Nope at the age of 42 and being in the industry before 15 ,I just don't tolerate hunts ,I've seen it too much with bosses that have had clients like this before... Bend or give a little and take a mile, and once they start messing the whole job will go to shit and you'll resent even starting it. .id rather say f them .keep their money keep their fing pathetic job .

Tell him to f himself and his pathetic airmiles, makes u wonder what else the silly hunt will dictate to you .

Not always, your comparing someone who's done powerline and street trees and it isn't the same , ive never known anyone to chuck a load on the floor unless its railways or powerline both attract the worse 'tree surgeons ' going and I use that term loosely

If your doing domestic work ,you can't always get tracked dumpers ,micro loader in on site , ive done most disciplines of tree work now , that although I enjoy what I do it doesn't mentally challenge me ,its boring .. I see myself as I get older driving machines ....we might go full tilt and where u once had foresters doing tree work with machines ,it will go back to being mechanised rather than shimmying up trees , That and also the weather getting stupid .. sadly you can earn more driving plant than climbing trees, when I was younger it was the other way around .

But we're you doing something hard graft before? Doubt it to still be any good

Bull shit all you want , your welcome to your opinion But how long does it take you u to be a decent climber? Isn't over night . The guy who said to me that 16-30 be climbing and then 30-65 you'll be contracts maintenance .. and the is an article on them recently ,must be doing something right to have street tree contracts .

Not on about people like you, the muppets that change a career then have got no chance .

I was told by a very well known firm who do proper trees in london an the south east by the time your 30 in this game they'd put you onto the contracts management side of things ,by the time he's 40 he'd learn the trade but be knackered , how many 40/50 year old are still climbing ? Just pointless his best years are gone
