Must have plenty boys. What exactly are they spraying for?
-
Single handedly and spraying with a knapsack or were you making money off of running your own squad?
-
850 quid? Jesus. Is there good money in spraying? That seems like a rip off if not, my small trees was a weeks course at like 950 2 years ago. Even that was steep for what it was.

Is he an arsehole like the 99 percent of machine operators? 🤔

Shame it’s 200 miles away I’d of came and shown you a thing or two @spuddog0507

My van is sick and it’s already stung me 1400 this month and will sting me another grand or so in the near future so before I say fk it and sign on the jam roll… I’ve been toying with the idea of a brand new pick up, under warranty etc and have been told about this farmers association, not sure if NFU is the same thing or not. Basically been hearing of fellas saving 20 percent on pick ups… I’m a woodcutter, but I’ll happily be a farmer for a day or two to save myself a couple pennies.

First job under my own name today, cutting windblow off a forest road/fairly busy foot path in a nearby forest.

New guy got a tree hung up so had to bomb it. Another few photos today of some bigger stuff, bit of fir and spruce. 72766dc9-6117-4bb3-880b-1e982393c5c0.mov

Low rakers and one handing a saw into the toe of a tree… yep…
-
Aye. Find a bigger angle on the gob makes it jump a fair bit off and less of a hinge. Still a bit wary at times when leaving less of a hinge as half the time it’s windy, or windy enough.

Subby climbers & groundsman near Jedburgh and surrounding areas
Donnie replied to Dr.Green's topic in Employment
Mainetti’s for the coat hangers. I used to service there machines when I was on the spanners etc. My first job fabricating was a 2 story staircase for the bit in Jed. @Dr.Green seen your ads on FB. I am no tree surgeon or groundsman but I do work with climbers. They’re 200-250 per day though for climbing I know that for a fact. -

It certainly is. Only pissed down for 4 hours at work today

Some more from today. Big stuff on a hillside can’t beat it.

Few photos from past wee while. Few videos to follow.

Old gear oil is the best. I really love the smell it leaves in my van, garage, clothes, washing machine.

Husqvarna 372xp Chainsaw with 20” bar and chain - Logs and Saws LOGSANDSAWS.CO.UK the husqvarna 372xp is a great professional saw for all Round use, from the forest to land owners. Comes with a 20”bar and chain as... What Stubby said or the link above. Suprisingly light for a 70cc, old school imported. Had countless gallons through mine in 4-5 foot Sitka and doesn’t miss a beat. Probably wouldn’t cut as fast as a fresh 562 as there’s probably 20 odd years between the two. 562 is a great saw to use probably the best I’ve had so far but they are defos not the strongest unfortunately. 372 20 inch light bar and it will be perfect. 353 on there is a really nice saw, I hammer mine in brashing big pappy Spruce with a 15 inch bar on and it is torquey. Like a feather too.

I’ve bought a 353, 372 and a 395 off of them since I posted this. All arrived quickly as he had them in stock, it will be on it’s way as he only keeps 3-5 in stock every couple of months and re orders when they sell out I think. Or that’s the way I see it. Had him send up a new clutch for the 353 as the chain kept creeping after a few combi cans through it. Free of charge under warranty. Couldn’t ask for much more, prices are spot on as well compared to 5 series.

I’d go as far as 90 mins to site was fairly local
-
Remember and take photos, it’d be good to see
-
If you’re even charging 1K a day for 4 really good cutters I’d be expecting a massive amount of work done. I know our cutting squad are 900 a day or not far away from that for local work, and I don’t think you’d find much of a better squad around. So for 2 cutters and 2 ‘laborers’ I’d say that is massively steep.
-
It’s hard to keep it clean when we do what we do, and the fact that the lease is smashed as well 😂 @Dan Maynard I will get one in the future. I’ve had 2 enquiries for it over night for cutting down these and some hung up trees on another property which I’m yet to see. Not ideally what I was looking for on this picture but I’ll do it none the less

I’ve an iPhone 10 something. The quality on that screenshot is not very good. For some reason. Either that or the flyer editor thing has kinda messed with them a little bit.

Made an ad for the splitter idea.
